As Mack says, “#facts”

Exactly. That's really the whole point. National rules don't accomplish much if nobody has the authority to enforce them and the penalties don't stick. Give college sports one set of rules and real enforcement behind them. That's where Congress can actually help. It's when they start trying to manage conference expansion, TV rights and the entire economics of the sport that they lose me.

Unfortunately this whole “Save” act is ALL political. And anytime a politician says they are going to fix something. It turns into bat guano very quickly. The Yankees CEO and Cody just happen to be big donors and buddies of guess who. Enough said. Their interests are not good for the universities involved for athletics or academics. Run like the wind from this bunch.

Our Government needs to stay out of college sports.

Restricting NIL sounds like something the courts will strike down. I am not sure any cap, if total and includes restrictive NIL, can withstand the courts if there is not some kind of collective bargaining agreement on the part of the players.

Texas will definitely still be one of the HAVES! Austin is POWERFUL resource UT!

They can put in rules but if no enforcement, solves nothing.

If you live in her state, don't vote for his co-sponsor.

Those are the Nike Free Trainer 5.0 V6 amp. 723939-800. Never worn. $110 MSRP. They're from 2015 - have just been sitting in my collection since then. Texas does custom colorways w/ logos for the big schools with their amp shoes - so there are Ohio State, Oregon, etc versions floating around out there, too. These are Charlie Strong era - maybe you've blocked it out of your mind 🙂 I'd do like $50 + ship if you're interested on those.

Trying to put together as many AH as they can.

Have to go back to 2023? We gave up 31 (wash), 24 (Houston) and 34 (OU). All games with a better offense we win. I’m not a PK lover but his unit largely performed - his late game defense was frustrating but not as much as Sark’s zero point halves.

Throw the Notre Dame AD out of the decision-making process. Stop treating that place like it's special because it's definitely not

Calls change from year to year even as much as game to game. WRs are on a choice route tree with strict rules. So you can literally call the same play four times consecutively and it'll be different depending on the defensive front and defensive backfield alignment. So even switching schools Parker doesn't have any more information of this year's scheme that isn't already on tape.

Bobby - any idea what is captured in the restrictive NIL language? Not sure how you can restrict legit nil. Generally UT is going to be in a good position with legit nil due to size of Austin, UT brand in Texas and nationally. Hopefully this would get rid of schools that are calling crap nil that is really pay for play.

I'm not against a bill. NIL, the portal, enforcement, that stuff needs a federal fix. You can't run college sports under 50 different state laws with nobody able to actually enforce anything. But we started out trying to fix that, and now Congress is setting spending caps, deciding who's allowed to expand, and rewriting how TV rights can be pooled. That's not cleanup anymore. At that point they're writing the operating manual for the whole sport, with everybody in the room lobbying for their own piece. And the funny part is the SEC and Big Ten opposed the committee bill and now look like they're getting a lot of what they wanted anyway. Not exactly shocking. Those two conferences cover 26 states, that's 52 senators, and you need 60. If a compromise ends the chaos, fine, I'll take it. I just can't shake the feeling that we're not fixing college sports so much as creating the next mess we'll all be back here arguing about in five years.

Just don’t Vote for Ted in next election if passes.

Why is the president of the Yankees involved?

Depressing how these half assed measures are being pressed!! Typical government failure 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

For those interested, this Twitter thread by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo gives the most authoritative update on the current situation. Unfortunately, Cody Campbell also remains in the discussion somehow. View full news story
