College sports doesn't need Congress to save it from NIL, the transfer portal, or television networks. It needs Congress to save it from the judicial system.
Maybe the latest Sorsby ruling will prove to be the thing that finally gets it done.

This is Noah Shannon, model citizen, slated to be Hawkeye senior defensive captain 2023. He had guilt pangs for having bet $10 on the Iowa Women's Basketball team in the 2023 NCAA tournament. The only bet he ever made. He turned himself in to coaches for the transgression who forwarded it to the NCAA.
They ruled him inelligible for the entire season, effectively ending his career. If the NCAA allows someone else to play after making thousands of bets, including many on his own team, I am going to fucking riot
I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

@IndyHawk89 come with NIL. Younger guys who have a handle on recruiting and the portal like @BudElliott3 grasped it quicker because they have a different perspective and are not as set in their ways as some of the older media. I think 16 is the perfect number but I will watch whatever.
@Brandon08638267@nypost@scottsiepker Connor McCaffery was an outstanding player on the court for Iowa. You can slag him for some social media stuff, but he was a great player for 3 really good teams. Incredible defender, incredible post entry passer and hyper competitive.
@Steven_Hyden Great list, surprised but agree with the Nirvana selection. My personal favorites are Kim Thayil on Like Suicide and 4th of July. A lot of great solos by Cantrell from AIC and Corgan from the Pumpkins. Also Dimebag deserves an honorable mention.
Even the flûte was like “bro… I didn’t know I could do this either” 😭🎵
This absolute legend took the plastic recorder we all suffered through in 6th grade and turned it into Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing.”
Zero shame. Maximum talent. The flute is now in therapy.

Whether you want to call them a Cinderella or not, @IowaHoops has all the ingredients (except mid-major jerseys).
Their run to the @MarchMadnessMBB Elite Eight maybe more improbable than any we’ve seen.
Consider their story:
