Two games and we’re calling it even? Wow. Judge Reinstates Brendan Sorsby To Texas Tech, Says QB Will Miss Just Two Games - Defector https://t.co/XWSOD7txK6

“I don’t think that today is a feature, I think today is a bug. ... Today was so moronic.”

Is this the tipping point for collective bargaining?

Brendan Sorsby playing college football is unconscionable. That’s why Texas Tech is the only happy party - The Athletic https://t.co/CjX6ZOuZZV

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Big 12 ADs tell @YahooSports they’ve had “serious” talks on not playing Texas Tech. One SEC AD says there should be conversations about not playing Tech “in any sports.”

The Brendan Sorsby ruling has left an industry jarred.

“It’s total f***** bullshit.”

Another example where a model with employment/collective bargaining would be better than the current system.

A federal law with an antitrust exemption wouldn’t prevent this type of lawsuit.

Sorsby brought contract claims against the NCAA, not antitrust claims.

Great perspective from @NDFootball Coach Marcus Freeman (@Marcus_Freeman1) on why he feels he must remind his players to choose hard:

"Struggle with what you have."

Everyone starts from a different place. Some people are born on third base. Others have never even seen a triple. But growth isn't determined by where you begin, it's determined by the challenges you're willing to embrace.

When you step onto the field, the court, or into any defining moment, nobody cares where you started. What matters is how you've prepared, how you've responded to adversity, and how you've conditioned yourself for the grinding opportunity in front of you. It's a daily choice.

The hard way is the right way.

Choose hard!

Especially when life makes easy available.

Smart pivot of the age-based model by the NCAA to get rid of HS graduation/expected HS graduation as a trigger to start your eligibility clock. Basically makes the NCAA a U-23 league and keeps prep school alive as an option for players who graduate HS on the younger side.

For legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, nothing mattered more than being part of the team. He created a culture, an identity and a style of, ‘We have a collective sense of effort and purpose, and we’re going to get this done. If you’re not interested, that’s fine. There’s somebody else who is.’ It was a privilege to play for him. Of all of the different things he said, none of it made any sense to me as a teenager. Later on in life, everything he said did come true.

Coach Wooden taught us that it’s not about the coach. It’s about the players. The job of the coach is to make people better. The job of the coach is to breathe life into everybody else and to make them feel supreme, to make them feel that the light is all shining on you.

Instead of Congress trying to swallow the ocean of problems with college sports by crafting a 111-page bill that needlessly addresses some topics that aren’t critical, perhaps Congress should address the least controversial problems one small bite at a time (transfers, 🧵

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

There’s no denying that college athletics is now openly professionalized.

There are some good ideas here that attempt to reinstitute and reinforce an educational component to college athletics.

Does college athletics have the will to take some of these steps?
