Joe Schafer, University of Buffalo Law School, on who is to blame...it's the NCAA. Interesting article. https://t.co/10iDSzNhkS

@NateGearySports I think "trotting" is the better word here 🐴

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

@NateGearySports Just glad you're better

Don’t call it a comeback! Let’s go @wkbwMichael

[Michael Wooten @wkbwMichael]

It’s like the first day of school!!! Excited to get started! Hope to see everyone at 5:30p!

With all due respect to college athletics, there’s much bigger issues at stake in the world right now. The NCAA has consistently failed to do its job since the advent of big TV contracts; instead choosing $ over the athletes. This isn’t Congress’s problem to solve. Never was.

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

Example no. 1,000,000,000 of guys who don’t understand how revenue generating sports argue to protect the pastoral ideal of college sports that they don’t understand and, oh by the way, never existed in the first place. 🤢 🤮

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Athletes who are on scholarships shouldn’t be considered employees.

That would mean if you drop a pass or miss a free-throw you could be fired and lose your scholarship.

That’s bad for college athletics.

[Victoria Jackson @HistoryRunner]

Olympic sports are what make the Pac-12 the Conference of Champions. College leaders were willing to destroy the best sports league in the world in their pursuit of football money and to secure their positions in the top tier of big-time college football. https://t.co/6TcRvqV3Xx

@RonFemia31 GROVE STREEEEEEETTTTT

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

Happened to turn on @WGR550 just in time to hear @NateGearySports’ interview with @LukeRussert and it hit home on so many levels. Absolute best medicine for a rollercoaster of a week. Thank you both. #BillsMafia

This @26shirts - now, more than ever.

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

Their eyes tell it all. The game needs to end. Football should not be a life and death game.

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

@BillsEire This is a pot of gold.

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

Fitz shouting out @LeeSmith with his hand around @JoshAllenQB is a huge highlight of the season for me.

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

@poozer87 @nys_cannabis This is about as big of a development as we're going to get in NYS cannabis. Draft regs foreshadow application season and, by extension, permanent licenses. 2023 is going to be a huge year.

@bradracino @mmj_ny @14claytonw Echoing @14claytonw - can you link to or share where this was published, Brad?

[Joe Schafer @JWSchafer]

@Brittcollens22 @Court_Side_w_BT Absolutely. And getting a win when your team doesn't win overall (or vice versa) helps provide perspective beyond just that one match. Takes the focus off those few points and puts it more on group effort.
