Former head coach Urban Meyer went off on the "toothless" NCAA during his appearance on the "The Triple Option" podcast...
quote:

“You know what the NCAA has become? A toothless organization," said

"I’m going to throw a couple numbers at you. A decade ago they averaged $10 million a year in legal fees. Now it’s $234 million over the last four years. In 2023, $61 million in legal fees. And they’re spending legal fees but they’re losing. They’re losing the litigation.”

“So the NCAA when I first started coaching was by far, they were in charge," said the three-time national champion.

“It was the NCAA. Everybody was horrified of the NCAA. Everybody. Dez Bryant, I believe he was at Oklahoma State, he lied to the NCAA. He never could play again. I mean coaches, you had to sign stuff and you could not, I mean you had a rulebook like that and you memorized it. We had to take a test every year, you memorized the book.”

“As of right now on Oct. 1, there are basically no rules in the sport of college football in recruiting, tampering and what you can give players,” he said.

This is the only time in history we have actually needed leadership from NCAA and they’ve folded like a cheap umbrella.

I mean what are they supposed to do? Legally they were always in a dog shite position, SCOTUS finally showed the emperor had no clothes, with a ruling that probably could have been avoided had they gotten out in front of this.

Only Nick Saban can clean up this mess. He needs to be out in charge of CFB.
