“[U]nless we find answers to those questions, college sports will remain a mini bar exam playing out in real time. It's great for lawyers. It's great for journalists who write on college sports. And, yes, it's great for sports, labor, antitrust, and IP law professors.”

Happy birthday 🎊🎈🎉

[University Athletic Association @uaa_sports]

𝟰𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗔𝗔

On June 25, 1986, the University Athletic Association was officially announced to the world. Over the past four decades, the UAA has proven that world-class academics and elite athletics go hand-in-hand. UAA student-athletes have redefined what it means to excel, and their impact has been felt far beyond the athletic arena.

As we celebrate this milestone, we honor the legacy of the student-athletes, administrators, and institutions whose shared vision, high standards, and relentless pursuit of excellence continue to define the Association.

#UAA | #StriveTogether | #GoBeyond

The two semester model for men's college soccer is back in bureaucratic hell after getting sent back to the oversight committee.

Should note that it was said that *twenty* conferences stated opposition to the plan.
