No. They won’t. It’s too much lost revenue.

Do you really think UGA would walk away from the home game and TV revenue if it was LSU or Ole Miss?

Learned something new today. UGA’s 1990 CWS title was the first win by a SEC school.
I remember that team. Had a really good pitcher named Fleming, I believe. Don't remember any of the other players. I think it was a true double elimination tournament all the way through back then.



I watched it. If memory serves, UGA won it on a called strike three.

I'm retroactively conflicted over that game now. LOL

It's not on the list because he never crosses the mind of anyone outside of Mizzou.

Georgia vowing not to schedule Texas Tech doesn't make a frick, but If all the Big 12 teams on Texas Tech's schedule agree to forefeit their games against them, that would hit Texas Tech squarely in the nuts and force their hand.


I doubt any of the Big12 schools are going to forfeit and take a loss.

I can't comprehend why people don't understand this. It gets brought up time and time again.


Thank you.

Likewise, I can't comprehend how people don't understand that conferences can't simply break away and form new rules to stop the madness without changes to federal antitrust laws.

A lot of posters here tied for first in that contest. LOL

I grew up within a 3 hour drive of State, LSU, and Alabama, and chose the one that’s worst at sports to pledge my allegiance to.


Now that's funny.

Me:
I graduated from Georgia Southern and UGA grad school. I can’t stand Georgia Southern fans because they always compare their program to UGA as if they’re equal. My opinions weren’t very popular in my time there. It didn’t matter because I spent most of my football weekends in Athens anyway. I do cheer for Georgia Southern still though.


I wanted to go to Georgia Southern, but "she" had other plans.

Those fans are something else. That coaching job has more expectations attached to it than Bama and Notre Dame combined.

What's weird is the people who never went to a school, aren't from that state, or don't actively live in that state, and still have an undying allegiance to a specific state school. I think we all know a sidewalk fan in here like that


To whom are you referring?

Of course, that probably identifies quite a few here.
quote:

You suggested forming a regulation and enforcement policy wo the federal government.

This would run into the same interference that the NCAA faces. Players would sue against any enforcement and would win. To stabilize the system, you have to have an antitrust system (only the government can grant that) or collectively bargain with players (involve revenue splits, rights, etc.).
The amateur model was illegal. We cannot go back. Giving players a small token of the revenue will not work either.


This.
quote:

Why not? Every pro sports league has a cap. Why can't CFB? I get no min for smaller schools, but a max amount per year is done in pro sports...why can't the NCAA set a limit you can spend on a roster per year? Every pro sport is able to do it.


For one, capping NIL would be contrary to the court ruling that put it in place.

NIL isn't a salary for playing. It's paying the players for the use of their name, image, and likeness. You can't cap what an individual player makes via contracts the school isn't party to.
quote:

So again, how do the professional leagues get away with it?



I already answered that. The NFL has a carve-out under the antitrust laws. That carve-out is currently under scrutiny by federal regulators for blackouts and streaming practices.

MLB has an antitrust exemption.

They can get away with it because Congress authorized them to do so. Congress has not done so for college sports.
quote:

The full faith and credit clause of the constitution.

Mississippi had proper jurisdiction over the NCAA when it made its ruling. Other states are required to abide by it under the constitution.

Another example - if a state grants a restraining order against an individual, that restraining order is valid across all the states even though it was granted a state court in one state.


"Constitution" is a proper noun.

Again, what would stop a person from filing for a writ in Clarke County, GA, superior court, demanding that the NCAA enforce its rules or for an injunction setting aside the MS judge's ruling pending an appeal? Different courts rule differently on the same issues quite regularly.

As for the full faith and credit clause, I have a Georgia Weapons Carry License. Can I carry my firearm in New York State and just say, "Hey, full faith and credit!!".

quote:

Right, but what gives the NFL the right to limit the salary of individuals? Assuming that’s seen differently than NIL


The NFL has federal antitrust protection and a collective bargaining agreement.

Their antitrust carve-out is currently under federal scrutiny over blackouts and streaming practices.
quote:

Legally it's an unincorporated association, so it's legally a resident of every state where a member institution is located.



So, what's to stop Ole Miss's opponents from challenging your QB's eligibility in their local courts?
quote:

I’m not a lawyer.. so I guess I don’t understand which federal law you are talking about..

How does the NFL and MLB etc make their own rules? Why couldn’t a similar framework be created?


The NIL rulings and everything that has followed are based on federal antitrust law.

In short, the courts are ruling that the players can't be denied their right to practice their trade (very simplistic explanation). The SEC/BIG forming their own league isn't going to change the legal environment. Their eligibility rules would carry no more weight than the NCAA's.

quote:

The local court has valid jurisdiction over the NCAA.


What is the legal basis for said jurisdiction?
quote:

Salary cap


You can't salary cap NIL.
I'll flip it:

Why is the NCAA abiding by rulings from local judges whose rulings have no authority beyond state lines?
