Still figuring things out...

Owen Allen and the gang getting geared up for the 2026 football season— let’s gooooooo!

Player retention, buy-in and war: Air Force football finds its differences, advantages in a new era of college football https://t.co/6N3RRTW3gY

@mckenzielaw Another way of looking at it is that multiple judges, across multiple jurisdictions, with no connection to one another, keep finding that the NCAA’s interpretation and enforcement of its rules is arbitrary, capricious, and unfair.

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@mcuban @elonmusk Billionaire explains how trillionaires are good for society, actually. Cool.

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@CBB_Central That’s just fraud? Illegal in every state even without agent-specific regulations…

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@EatADickUA @heitner I agree— I said his attorneys did a good job and that this ruling will help other players. If the NCAA had any credibility and had not failed so miserably at governance they would be able to successfully suspend a player for gambling, but that is not the world we live in.

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@heitner And not 5th circuit— forgot for a minute this is state court not federal. Still going to be an appeal, obviously, but state appellate courts can be friendlier

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@heitner Huge win for players, great job by his legal team. Curious to see what the 5th Circuit does with this— they are generally brutal on plaintiffs…

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@EatADickUA @heitner Nope

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@EatADickUA @heitner No— it is additional judicial precedent for the notion that the NCAA has contractual obligations to the players when it comes to interpreting and enforcing rules and looking out for the general well-being of players. I think sports gambling is a menace.

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@WinterSportsLaw So Tuberville thinks that the Cruz-Cantwell NCAA wish list bill is too friendly to players…what a shocking development

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@Pac12Central @WinterSportsLaw Of course, the Harvard of the Palouse…

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@ChrisVannini Good— hockey people have been freaking out over this

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@DanWolken I imagine Rutgers at the back of the super conference room, trying to blend in

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@GenMoultrie1776 @TomMarsLaw @Genetics56 Mr. 1776 is a fan of the overlords versus the little guys?

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@crazyunclelou 3% for NFL player contracts where the pay bands, years of service and other key terms are already established by the collective bargaining framework is not comparable to the invent the wheel world of NIL…

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@TheChadWithrow Athletes move from one school to another for reasons other than money, obviously.

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@CorryAKnowles No, when coaches get paid $65 million not to coach, that is Capitalism and the Free Market operating as the Lord intended. When a college linebacker gets paid $50,000 to sacrifice his body to State U, that is the Wild West and Congress must step in…pretty simple really.

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@PeterBurnsESPN Collective bargaining would allow benefits (and not just money) to be spread more evenly to all athletes. Plenty of student athletes (even in money sports like football) are getting very little beyond their scholarships currently, and have no say in working conditions etc.

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@McCannSportsLaw “Court-induced chaos” = some courts finally applying long-established anti-trust laws to the NCAA after decades of the NCAA acting as if the law does not apply to them…

[DragonDad @DragonDad17]

@WinterSportsLaw So “NIL deal with the institution” is what they are calling “rev share” in this bill?
