@AaronGogley Also that university presidents are more of a political position than true CEO…they care more about keeping their position than the financial health of the institutions…and the states will bail them out when in there’s a “deficit”. Basically, nobody says no to more spending.
Look at this box we got here!
It comes from Ruston, Louisiana from the LA TECH BULLDOGS!
There are some great players from LA Tech, and their coach was no slouch back in his playing days either!!
Thank you Coach Cumbie and @LATechFB for this great box, keep up the good work!!
@TomMarsLaw@NWAHutch I understand the argument, but if they give to that, then that’s money they aren’t going to be able to give to the remaining programs or department generally. I’m doubting those tennis donors would ONLY give to tennis.
@MarcEdelman I don't understand how they haven't done things at the conference level...I really think it makes sense for everyone and we don't have to jump through these no "pay-for-play" hoops. Let the conferences come up with a cap that makes sense for their schools.
@McCannSportsLaw@JoshWright1977 I’ll never understand how medical residents aren’t in an uproar about their anti trust exemption. Many are basically forced to go where they match, moving them far from families or support systems when a hospital they might want to work at would gladly take them.
@WinterSportsLaw What’s your take on the anti trust exemption that hospitals have on medical residents? How are residents not having the same uproar as athletes? Because it was from so long ago, they just think there’s no other option? Makes ya wonder if colleges did this 20 years ago…
@mlycan12@CharlieBakerMA There's always going to be a class that gets the bad end of this. You're right, it's the 2027s. Soccer is impacted more since redshirts aren't as common. But I think they factored all of that in.
@WinterSportsLaw@ChrisYow14 They would need a new business model to continue to support athletics as they’ve been historically, but times are changing and they won’t be the same as they were…yes, Ark could have kept tennis…but it wasn’t benefiting enough from doing that. And they already met d1 minimums.
@LBknowsBall@Whiskey_Foxhole Only a tiny fraction of NCAA players reach the professional level required for Olympic selection (based on world rankings and USTA criteria). Even less for team USA.
