Legendary coach who maid 100 million on the backs of unpaid labor. Now wants to regulate the earnings of those who can finely earn fair market value. This is clown behavior.
Hereโs a summary of the Protect College Sports Act that nobody seems to wants to say out loud: in a sport where nearly 50% of the players are African-American - many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds - a bunch of rich white people have gotten together to propose
We are all still reading this bill, but its primary effect seems to be to limit the compensation of athletes while protecting the huge salaries of all the adults - coaches, ADs, sports industry executives - who are getting rich off the performance of the players. And it gives the NCAA an antitrust exemption that no other industry gets just so they can keep underpaying the athletes. Sure, there are some good things for players in this bill, but this seems like a great deal for the NCAA and the rich guys who run college sports, and a bad deal for athletes.

Prospect U Notebook: Scouting 2027 CG Jeremiah Profit (6โ5) |@JeremiahProfit2
Jeremiah Profit showing real shot creation instincts. Reverse pivot pull-up over length with controlled footwork and balance, then follows it up with a clean catch & shoot corner 3. Ability to create separation without needing over-dribbling stands out. Efficient mover that understands spacing, timing, and how to get to his spots.

Jeremiah Profit, the No. 82 overall recruit in the national 2027 class, is expected to draw major attention from coaches this Live Period weekend.
The April stock riser caught up with @247Sports to discuss the latest surrounding his recruitment.

Utah State Aggies men's basketball landed one of the top floor generals in college basketball with the addition of AJ Bates, a 6โ3โ guard transfer from Louisiana Tech Bulldogs men's basketball.
In an outstanding season, Bates averaged:
12.1 PPG
2.8 REB
5.9 AST (Top 25 in NCAA)
Bates is a terrific lead guard who consistently makes the right reads and thrives operating out of pick-and-roll actions, especially when hitting rollers and manipulating defenses.
Heโs also a very capable scorer with a strong frame and the ability to knock down shots from outside, giving him legitimate offensive versatility.
Bates helped lead Louisiana Tech to the CUSA Championship Game and earned All-CUSA Tournament Team honors. One of his best performances came on the road against Liberty late in the season, where he exploded for 34 points and 6 threes.

Immediate playing time and development at a strong mid-major for many is going to be more valuable than chasing an opportunity at a power conference school .
If you perform, the portal market will pay you handsomely. Productive mid-major starters often become high-major priorities commanding major money a year later.
Fully believe that every kid ranked outside the top 30 should go to a really good mid-major and hoop right away. Not worth chasing a logo to set your career back.
