Saturday at 10:37 PM2 days No. I guess this is a start. The leaders of the major conferences all seem to be supportive.We shall see.

16 hours ago16 hr No. Not too keen on the 1 transfer over the players ' entire careers. Almost anti American (btw I hate transfers, but every other college kid can move around, why so that's unjust to restrict the players). Anti Trust legislation is sorely needed. And contract enforcement should be priority umber 1. Multi year contracts at that. Finally, the scumbag lawyers (only the bad ones, not all lawyers) and Agents should be a massive part of the legislation. As in they should go to jail if they harm and misrepresent the kids and their families. Gordon Gekko, Greed is not Good.

No amount of pendulum swinging wild, wild west and hand wringing will ever overcome that history.Players should share in the profits and should be able to unionize to guarantee it and participate in developing a level playing field across each sport.No executive order, legislation or other rich people method of enforcing their will should stand in the way of that goal.

From that point, it became just a matter of time before those responsible for this jump would demand their rightful share of this new wealth. Cue the lawyers . . .
