"College sports leaders have met with Congress 13 different times in an effort to gain federal intervention in the NIL process..."

I don't know if creating a trust is communist or fascist or whatnot, but that's a gem. Athletes knew they were being screwed 100 years ago.

I definitely am not super interested in an executive order due to its temporary nature, which will just create more stuff to adapt to.

Although maybe we should be for this constant churn as UO seems to gain an advantage by being innovative in adapting to these changes better and quicker than anyone else, giving us an advantage with roster building.

Good luck, yuck, yuck. This is 'speaking softly.' Only Congress carries a 'big stick.' Hats off for trying.

The money being spent for a winning college football team is crazy. Apparently, the wealthy, and Corporate America, need an immediate intervention. They are asking for someone to impose a subjective NIL “salary cap” to save them from themselves.

Once a collective secures the commitment of a 5* recruit with a stupidly priced NIL contract offer, the collective is expected to continue to offer millions to kids just out of high school. It’s an addiction, and we all are wondering when someone finally intervenes.

Whether we like it, or not, sports entertainment is BIG business.
