I voted no on the Protect College Sports Act. In classic Washington fashion, Congress has crafted a bill that misses the mark by creating massive federal intervention and buying votes with nearly $200 MILLION in new spending for some schools. This spending isn’t paid for and will only add to our $40 TRILLION debt.
Are there issues in college athletics that deserve federal input? Absolutely. I believe Congress should ban men from competing in women’s sports and create some national standards to end the transfer portal chaos. While this bill makes progress on those issues, it fails to address problems I have heard directly from universities in my state, like disagreements on conference caps, so I couldn’t support it.
This bill also goes way too far inserting the federal government into collegiate athletics. We don’t need federal law that forces schools to lose revenue if they want to change their conference or dictates when schools can change their coaches and where their salaries can come from.
I appreciate the bipartisan work that’s been done to try to provide schools, athletes, and fans with some clarity and consistency, but this legislation simply isn’t there yet. As we continue the September work period, I encourage my colleagues to approach college athletics through a narrower lens, and in the meantime refocus our efforts on actions to bring down the cost of living and secure our federal elections.
@Money23Green I see some things just don’t change. lol. You was on sucka shit four years ago when you swung on Jordan Poole and you on sucka shit now. I usually don’t engage but since you went so far left to get my attention here it is!!!
If you think your big 32 year old, 3 or 4 rings at the time having ass swinging on a 23 year old Jordan Poole at the time is the same then you are even more delusional that I thought.
First of all Bam is 28. Tyler is 26. Neither one of them got it all figured out yet. Maybe I was giving you too much credit at the time cause I thought you did so that’s why I commented. 2nd, anyone who knows bam knows he’s strong as baby bear. If he would’ve unloaded on Tyler 100% it’s over. You fired off on that young boy like it was a club punch and you never met him before in your life. 3rd yeah I did go at Jimmy. You damn right. The shit you pull in golden state and that shit he pulled in Chicago talking crazy to Hoiberg and disrespecting teammates in practice in Minnesota ain’t gon fly in the 305. So yeah. I checked his ass.
Call it heat culture or what ever you want but before I let one player disrespect Spo in front of the squad, cut his legs out and disrupt what 15 other guys tryin to get accomplished, I’ll kick his ass. I owe that to ZO and Tim and Glen and the rest of my OGs.
Ion really vibe you and I think you know that so unless it’s me on prime talking hoops I won’t mention you at all. You brought me into this and I am retired and out the way. I suggest you keep it pushing cause I ain’t giving out no more hall passes bra!
Ohio State’s roster is littered with kids from South Florida who didn’t believe the vision of Mario Cristobal and Miami.
They just got beat by the group who did.
The “case” for putting Notre Dame over Miami (metrics, bad losses, the so-called eye test) puts Miami over Alabama in direct comparison. No matter what criteria apply, Miami should be in. It is clear as day to everyone outside that conference room.
