BRADEN MONTGOMERY HITS A WALK-OFF HOMER IN HIS MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUT!

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

The NCAA has a growing problem with the ability to enforce its rules in the face of state court lawsuits alleging contract claims.

A federal law can’t solve that.

Only new governance models can.

Someone has got to sit these Europeans down and teach them about the Pop Tarts Bowl

Kyle Field only does BIG

Is the NCAA falling apart in real time?

Nebraska’s AD also called for conference level governance today.

Many have expected the NCAA to not exist at some point in the future (at least not in its current form).

Feels like that timeline has sped up.

3 years ago, Hunter Dekkers was ruled ineligible for placing $2,799 in bets. He never played D1 football again.

Brendan Sorbsy placed $90,000 worth of bets while at 3 different schools and gets to play college football this year.

[Chris Low @Clowfb]

If you can gamble on your own team and still play, what about the athlete caught cheating on a test, but then pleads in court he has a learning disability, supported by a specialist his attorney digs up, and that cheating is the only way he could stay eligible and cash in on NIL?

College sports is having a huge identity crisis currently

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

This is correct.

Nothing in the Protect College Sports Act would stop athlete lawsuits against the NCAA based on contract claims, like the claims Sorsby brought.

The Sorsby injunction is just being used as a lobbying tool.

NEW: Big 12 ADs say “serious” talks have been held about not playing Texas Tech after Brendan Sorsby's ruling, @RossDellenger reports.

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?

@TheLinkUNIL The days just keep getting better and better💅🏼

Vegas wasn’t ready for what AthleteCon 3.0 had to offer. Can’t wait to end the week off at the awards ceremony! Stay tuned! #AthleteCon

[Tom Mars @TomMarsLaw]

Considering the imbalance of wealth between the NCAA and athletes, the provision in the Protect College Sports Act allowing the prevailing party in litigation to recover their attorneys’ fees is just a thinly disguised way to prevent athletes from suing to protect their rights.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

College sports are more popular than ever.

Especially women’s sports.

And in part, it’s because of the changes to college athletics over the past 5 years.

Don’t listen to the alarmist narratives being spun in order to place restrictions back on athletes.

[Avery Cary @averycaryy]

@NILnotNLI @tedcruz It’s about removing the one legal tool that athletes used to win the right to be paid in the first place. This bill alters who receives direct rev share and it’s going to affect olympic sports before universities allow it to affect rev gen sports.

[Quincy Avery @QuincyAvery]

One question. If coaches can negotiate salaries, schools can negotiate TV contracts, conferences can negotiate media rights, and administrators can negotiate compensation, why should athletes be the only participants barred from negotiating the value of their labor?
