Is the PCSA good or bad for LSU?

If it passes, the Protect College, Sports Act is meant to provide a legal framework within which all teams have to operate. I do think we need some rules. Running to a local judge to get a TRO or injunction every time you don’t like what the NCAA says isn’t a sustainable model. After this last week, I just hope that the NCAA is the enforcement arm and not the SEC, which clearly has an ax to grind against LSU. If the PCSA passes, doesn’t this need for conference self-regulation essentially go away? Seems like it could be a good thing for LSU.

It's good mostly
Levels the playing field on rules and IF it leads to something like a salary cap, LSU's booster funding is more sustainable. We have the coach and history to pull players in
Because 40-50 mil a year seems a bit difficult
Or maybe I underestimate our boosters

That’s what I’m thinking as well, but I don’t know everything that’s in the bill. LSU competed just fine before the NCAA crumbled and there were rules. We’re competing fine now as well. But this constant chaos needs to go away, and I’m hoping a better legal framework will do that.

As long as it does not give the NCAA and particularly the SEC protection from Anti-Trust Laws. That would be a major problem.

It's not perfect but it provides a level of stability to the sport.

Dude, that is the whole purpose of the law. They get limited anti-trust protection in return for federal oversight on regulations.

I'm definitely no expert, but I think it would or it at least should give the NCAA some teeth in enforcing the rules and not allowing all these state judges/courts to overturn rules.

It won't because there are only 2 things that congress cares about and acts upon.
1) Legislation to impose more controls over you.
AND
2) Funding legislation that provides kickbacks via money laundering to themselves.

Initially I thought it was good for LSU and college football as a whole. But the latest actions by the SEC has started making me re-consider because of the limited Anti-trust law liability. SEC can literally be run by a handful of schools handing punishments down to whoever they please and for whatever reason, which clearly presents a problem.

It will put a premium on high school recruiting for three reasons.
First, players only get one free transfer. After that, they have to sit out a year.
Second, the PCSA creates a $22.5 million roster retention fund to compensate players who stay with their school.
Third, it prohibits schools from cutting scholarships based on athletic performance. More difficult to "process" folks.
I'm very confident in Kiffin's evaluation and recruiting skills. It will, however, be more difficult to get talent from the portal.

The NFL has anti-trust protection, do the feds have oversight? I don't think so, correct me if I'm wrong. The NFL got in to allow the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. Hale Boggs and Russell Long got the Saints in return.

So in essence... with federal oversight become a para-judicial system for college sports

Then I have no idea how anyone thinks this is good for LSU. Given both the NCAA and the SEC’s history of selective enforcement, I am not sure why ANYONE would trust them with an antitrust exemption.

Screw this. Imagine if the ncaa has immunity from being sued. They suck as it is.

They had immunity from being sued for decades, didn’t they? All of this chaos started once the Supreme Court turned them into a toothless organization. There have to be rules, and someone has to enforce them. All I know after this week is that I don’t want that to be the SEC.

This is all happening because of the NCAA ineptitude. These people are toothless and have almost zero foresight. How you could not anticipate the change from 4 for 4 to 5 for 5, and not realize the damage done to an entire class of athletes in every sport, is just total incompetence. They should be sued into oblivion and disband. They are useless .

Just my opinion, but I don't trust the people involved.
Everyone, including me, would love to return to the innocence of thinking CFB was generally on the level. It isn't and never has been.
A "salary cap" is dead on arrival. There will never be an enforceable rule that limits the amount of money that a booster gives an athlete. Any attempt by Congress to allow such will get slapped down in the courts.
The coaches don't want a limit to the transfer portal, so it won't happen. I know, the legislation wants to create one, but coaches will still cut players and those players will file grievances to go elsewhere.
The purported "Lane Kiffin Rule" limiting the mobility of coaches in the middle of signing periods and transfer portal windows is a complete denial of the reality of the situation the beginning of December last year, not just at LSU but at every school hiring a coach at the time.
The whole thing would collapse if there is no Collective Bargaining Agreement with the players. If you want to move these disputes from individual court cases to strikes and lockouts, the PCSA is your friend.
So, I have my doubts it will "solve" any of this. The world has changed; we better get used to it.
Again, JMHO.

Spot on. I really can’t imagine Congress going for this.
