re: So LSU sacrificed Will Wade, and still being targeted by NCAA

Smith needs to sue the NCAA. People forget that the whole reason NIL exists is not because the NCAA woke up one day and was suddenly cool with losing their free labor pool. NIL exists because the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in NCAA vs Alston that the NCAA's rules prior to 2021 violated federal law.

That means those rules should be unenforceable now, since the Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890. It is time to either leave the NCAA or better yet, bury them in legal fees.
