Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted 5 hours ago The business and enforcement side of college athletics is The Dark Side, no doubt. I apologize for spending an inordinate amount of time on and in The Dark Side, but lawyers and state legislators continue to act in ways that are detrimental to the long-term health of college athletics. The end result of this litigation and legislative furor will be further consolidation and the professionalization of the 'Moneyball' college sports, football, and men's basketball, with many non-revenue sports being dropped from Varsity to Club staus and the consequent loss of athletic scholarships. Any solution short of 'Relief' from the United States Congress will not fix what ails college sports. Will it be forthcoming? This article from CBS Sports does a terrific job of detailing where the enforcement, or lack thereof, of agreed upon rules for the good of college athletics stands today. Notwithstanding my tendency to go 'Darth Vader,' I'm looking forward to August 30, 2025, while hoping that the entirety of college athletics will not implode as did the Pac-12, a century-old entity that failed from the top down. Conference expulsion? No penalty structure? Questions mount as college sports enforcement comes into focus - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM As the House v. NCAA decision draws near, questions remain over what the college sports landscape will look like in the future 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
