Only makes the NCAA begging Congress for help more laughable.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

It’s hard to argue a federal law needs to cap college athlete payroll when buyouts like this are being paid to assistant coaches.

[RodGilmore @RodGilmore]

“$10 million to be paid to fire an assistant cfb coach. This chaos must stop!Congress must act to protect college sports!” Yeah, you won’t hear that from supporters of the Protect College Sports Act. 🙄Hypocrites.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Per the terms of his contract, Jason Beck is set to be owed up to $10.1 million dollars. That's nearly $7 million in salary and nearly $3.1 in retention bonuses. The contract is subject to off-set and mitigation. It's believed to be the biggest buyout for a college assistant.

So much wasted money. So much wasted energy. But this is good news.

[Alonzo @avzqz1288]

Dude…straight up!!!

[RodGilmore @RodGilmore]

Twenty years ago we had 119 FBs teams. Ten years ago we had 128. We now have 138. Crazy how more universities step up just to lose money. 🙄 CFB has never been more flush with💰.

I never want to hear about some kid transferring for a few more bands as “the thing that broke college sports” ever again man

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Yeah, college sports has a money problem. Maybe Congress needs to police insane coaching contracts.

[RodGilmore @RodGilmore]

@heitner Supporters of the PCSA are hypocrites if they don’t call for this to be capped, too.

[Robert Littal BSO @BSO]

$50 million buyout is why I don’t care how much the kids get paid regardless of performance

[RodGilmore @RodGilmore]

$50 Million. Waiting for the Protect College Sports Act supporters to rip this “chaos” and out of control spending.

The storyline that won’t go away: The NCAA against the high school class of 2022.
“The result is chaos – it’s the exact chaos the NCAA says they don’t want.”

@harrylylesjr Awesome!!!

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

Another TRO granted in a 5 in 5 case, this one by an Oklahoma state court.

NCAA knows it’s fighting a losing battle, but continues to waste colossal amounts of $ on trying to not allow a small group of athletes do what their teammates are allowed to do (play 5 seasons).

Another example demonstrating why it’s a bad idea to give the NCAA an antitrust exemption.👇

An estimated 75% of former NFL players who died between 2008 and 2023 had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, the neurodegenerative brain disease tied to high-impact sports such as football, according to a new study.

June Jones was an amazing coach and incredible man. He’ll truly be missed. It’s a sad day.

[Bruce Feldman @BruceFeldmanCFB]

RIP June Jones, a true offensive pioneer who coached in NFL and college, dies at 73.

👇🏽this @Realrclark25 is right

[Ryan Clark @Realrclark25]

As college football players entertain us today, we cannot lose sight of what’s happening to these young men. A 24-team CFP on the horizon. The “Protect College Football” Act. More money, more control, more decisions about their futures.

The NCAA continues to treat these athletes like professionals without accepting the responsibility that comes with it.

The people in power keep making decisions driven by money and control while preventing the players who generate that revenue from having a meaningful seat at the table.

Exclusive: Wealthy backers of the Protect College Sports Act quietly rounded up support from major conservative political figures, a DraftKings executive, university presidents, and conference commissioners.
