sports figure it out themselves.

Former Swarthmore track and field athlete Evelyn Parts sued Swarthmore College, several athletic department officials and the NCAA on Thursday, claiming they discriminated against her because she is a transgender woman.

The lawsuit, which was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, claims that the defendants violated Parts' Title IX rights, inflicted emotional distress and engaged in a civil conspiracy.

The NCAA banned transgender women from competing in women's sports on Feb. 6, a day after President Donald Trump's executive order authorized federal agencies to penalize schools that allow transgender girls and women to compete in girls' and women's sports. Previously, the NCAA allowed transgender women to compete in women's sports if they met sport-specific requirements.

I hope the NCAA wins.

Never thought I'd say that.

While this lawsuit is stupid and male borns who want to be freaks shouldn't be allowed to compete in women's sports, what does this have to do with CFB and college basketball forming its own league?

There’s going to be a Super League for football

It’s coming and there’s nothing the NCAA can do to stop it

No one cares about college basketball.

Get vanderbilts garbage institute out and we’ll talk. Until that happens, you have the worst sports AD in the country.

This is dumb. They're historically bad at football, and not even bad right now, but are a run of the mill athletic department in all the other sports.

No one would watch an expansion league of current college players, they're reliant upon the universities to attract viewers. Which is strange because somehow the schools fricked that up and let the players get the leverage

How many people were tuning into Cam Newton games when he as at Blinn. How about Travis Hunter & Shedeur at Jackson State vs Colorado?

Nailed it. You could take all of these guys and put them in the UFL. Nobody is watching that shite.

True.

But would university presidents have the courage to say “Abide by at least minimal academic rules of the university, or you can’t wear our name and colors”?

I’m betting hardly any of them would. And that’s a big part why the players ended up with the leverage.

Here’s a good question… is the SEC brand dependent on having the best players? Does the SEC brand attract more casual viewers than the same game in other conferences (think Texas/Oklahoma)

Agree.

What makes it a good idea is it allows other sports to form compact regional conferences so you don't have Stanford traveling to Chapel Hill for a volleyball game.

For basketball you want to preserve March Madness instead of a future where all 68 P4 teams are invited.
