What a shite show.

The end of NCAA is closer than we all thought.

Might not make it to the 2027 football season.

That's a stretch. Would the unintended consequence of this be that the NCAA is suddenly granted even more power over the individual conferences?

It’s a bit odd if Rouse gave the ok to sign guys and then turns around and votes a yes on this.

Lane and Wade didn’t just decide to do this without asking Verge who in turn wouldn’t green light without letting rouse know.

It kind of makes us look dumb that we let people run with headlines for a whole day when none of this happens if verge and Rouse do their jobs correctly and tell Lane and Wade no.

Also a very bad look if they said yes and then today turn coated on their coaches.

They didn't foresee this happening. That's why them, and other schools tried to sign these players. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't that big of a deal for football. Basketball might be a different story.

This. What an odd hill to die on just to look like you're doing something.



You guys would be losing your shite if Alabama or Georgia were bringing a kid back from the NFL. If a kid is on an NFL roster, he has no business being able to come back and jump on a college team. This shite is beyond ridiculous at this point.

Texas has Hutson… other schools have players who spent summer with NFL teams.

But if they suspend the institution or prohibit it from playing football they are in fact causing irreperable harm to the players.

SEC will pay the biggest penalty with lawsuits if they enforce this.

The SEC and Big Ten are NOT subject to the Supreme Court's anti-trust ruling. This is smart and the conferences know it. It's a loser for any school trying to buck the conference...just like Texas Tech.

The lawyers are trying to tie the NCAA to these rulings because they stand on their own merits. Every school is a voluntary member and agrees to said rulings. It's a loser. That's why they are trying to drag the NCAA into the conference rulings. These players are dust. And rightly so.

And there is the fact that does it in.

LSU joined an organization and its rules. The organization can enforce its rules and if you don't like it, you can leave the organization. Good luck with that.

Guess what, you will ultimately lose, unless you want to be a member of the LSU sports conference and you can make your own rules.

Isn't Texas? I'm genuinely asking, because I only heard something about Texas doing it in passing. Texas is above Alabama right now? Not upset at it for the guys who were suppose to be 5 for 5. I think it's fine moving forward, but not to enforce against these guys.

He gave up the fight because it wasn’t in state court. The big 12 filed in federal court.
