At some point the NCAA needs to drop the “student first, athlete second” charade.
Billions of dollars, NIL, transfer portal (free agency), traveling cross-country for midweek games…
Education is not the main focus.
Admit it and call it what it is.
A business.
Run it as such.
News - The farm and IRA conservation piece of the funding talks officially imploded overnight
It was one of the last things leaders discussed
Results in neither side getting what they wanted - CR will only have a clean 1-year farm bill extension, nothing more
Schumer assumed GOP wanted extra economic aid for hurting farmers so much that they would cave on reinvesting IRA conservation $
McConnell + Johnson assumed the reverse. Neither ended up blinking and it all fell apart
Lots of farmers will now be denied loans and $14 billion in IRA conservation funding will run out and likely never be reinvested in the farm bill for years to come
Will never forget this feeling. Our coaching staff deserve better. Us players deserve better. Our fans deserve better. Everyone that believed in us deserve better. We all deserve better. @NCAACWS you have ruined the biggest moment of our player’s lives so far. What a joke.
