ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins – 14-year NBA veteran and 2008 champion – has agreed to become the men's basketball General Manager of HBCU Jackson State, as well as a connection to its broadcast and journalism program, per Perkins: "I'm thankful for this opportunity to impact young lives and pour back into my community."

I've had some time to consider yesterday's Senate hearing on the Protect College Sports Act.

It framed robust #NIL and collective activity as threats to competitive balance and Olympic sports.

But NIL is not the crisis. It's not the culprit of "chaos." It doesn't require anyone to "save college sports."

It is the market correction to decades in which institutions and the NCAA profited from athletes without providing them meaningful compensation.

Any federal legislation must strengthen, not constrain, athlete NIL rights and mobility.

Preempting strong state laws, imposing artificial distinctions between "legitimate" deals and market arrangements, or layering new transfer restrictions cannot and must not be done in the absence of bargaining with athletes.

Athletes built the value. People seem to be missing that point. They believe coaches deserve riches and athletes should be pleased with whatever pittance they're provided. No. Athletes deserve a framework that treats them as the principal stakeholders and not as afterthoughts.

Funny it was ok when these Universities were spending on Coach Saban, but now that they are spending on these student athletes it’s a problem? Everyone is for a free market system when it benefits them, but when it doesn’t, “we need more regulation.”

Dante Moore was clear to @On3 how excited he is to have a healthy Evan Stewart back: “Evan’s been doing a great job ever since he got back, just being a leader. Even when he wasn’t playing, he was being a leader in the facility, the way he carried himself, the way he was still participating in meetings, even though he wasn’t able to play.

"But with him being back and healthy, he’s just pushing that room way more, way better."

Oregon DT Bear Alexander's upside is evident. One more year in this defense could propel him into becoming a first rounder

Stop trying to make your kids professional athletes and chasing the lights. Make them sports professionals.

Leadership, business management, and becoming an expert in the sport they love so they can have a career making $600k- $10M per year.

Playing sports is a JOB not career
