Not sure where to put this, so plopped it in here.  Will this make a different for all college ball?

Anything that kicks the NCAA square in the pills is fine by me.   As corrupt an organization as any that have existed.

That's my thought too.  The NCAA getting its wings clipped is way overdue.   I wonder how long this 'interim proposal' has been sitting on the shelf.

However, I find it very hard to believe it'll end well having college athletes getting their own Nike deals and enabling team bidding wars for incoming players.

I'd still rather see players getting paid than a buncha suits.  The NCAA has always run like the mafia and it pisses me off.

Wondering what the class actions are going to look like, and how big they’ll be.
