I appreciate @samcehrlich’s work. Here’s his analysis is the college sports act related to the non delegation doctrine.
I doubt many of my followers will read 23k legal paper but the abstract gets the point across to the average person.
NEW: As the U.S. sinks deeper into division at home and abroad, the Senate convened Wednesday to safeguard a corner of the national edifice that some would say is doing comparably well.

Opinion: The emergence of NIL deals has given Title IX a new, complex terrain defined by substantial cash flows, broad institutional discretion, and daily decisions by schools that may not fully understand the long-term consequences of their choices. https://t.co/tXmtBNqRrO
University presidents should be completely embarrassed that through the years, as they sat back and handed Athletics the keys, they allowed the system to violate #TitleIX so greatly by watching 2 sports bankrupt their entire departments.
And it’s only getting worse.
In the 17 weeks of 2026, at least 35 NCAA Olympic sports programs have been eliminated at member schools.
2 programs discontinued per week. 17 from Division 1.
Countless lives of both students and staff thrown into chaos in order to cover outlandish salaries of the 1%
A response has been filed to House settlement class counsel's motion to enforce the settlement (re: MMR deals)... by objectors to the settlement who have appealed the settlement's approval to the Ninth Circuit.
Their rationale is summarized in the table of contents below 🔽
@CodyC64@realDonaldTrump I hope that Congress and President Trump are also looking to make things right for the students who have already lost roster spots or - as in my daughter’s case - were recruited for a D1 swim program that was cut entirely, as @CalPoly did. @CPMustangNews
@NILnotNLI And hopefully also has a way of making things right for students who have already lost their roster spots or whose entire teams were cut due to the settlement! (I’m looking at you @CalPoly)
Saving College Sports really isn’t that complicated, and it isn’t a partisan issue - It all comes down to basic common business sense. Unfortunately, we need Federal legislation to get it done, and Washington can complicate a bowling ball!! Americans want us to come together and find a solution!!
"I helped to start the NIL collective at Texas Tech and now I'm the chairman there..
At first I was just trying to help Texas Tech but then as I got into it I saw how fundamentally broken the college sports system was..
We're trying to find a solution that will comprehensively stabilize the system and make it sustainable for the long run" ~ @CodyC64 #PMSLive
The SCORE Act was pulled from consideration because it simply didn’t have the votes, a clear sign that Members on both sides saw it for what it was: a gift to the NCAA and Power Two conferences at the expense of athletes.
This bill would have imposed new restrictions on athletes while doing nothing to address the real instability in college athletics. It ignored the coaching carousel, the erosion of women’s and Olympic sports, and the mounting financial deficits putting small and mid-sized programs and HBCUs at risk. Calling this a solution to the challenges facing college sports was always a stretch, and pulling it from the floor only confirms how unbalanced it was.
It’s time for Republicans to return to the negotiating table. Dozens of Democrats who support a bipartisan path forward outlined in my College Athletics Reform Act stand ready to work in good faith on durable reforms that strengthen athletes’ rights, support all schools, and secure the future of college sports.
@DanielLibit@Sportico Let’s put all of the burden on the women to have to sue their universities. It’ll only take four years (as was the case Fresno State Women’s lacrosse). Sounds like a reasonable solution. 🤦♀️

NEW: U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken rejected latest objectors’ motions, keeping House v. NCAA settlement intact unless the Ninth Circuit intervenes. In Thursday’s order, she again said Title IX objections should be raised elsewhere. For @Sportico👇

NEW for @Sportico: Gracelyn Laudermilch—who stole the show at April’s first House v. NCAA fairness hearing—will (virtually) return to Judge Wilken’s courtroom for Thursday’s second hearing. Why the @Liberty_XCTF runner is still objecting to settlement:
