A few things about Cruz/Cantwell that I LOVE:
- Strengthening SPARTA and adding a private right of action (instead of the NCAA regulating agents)
- Requiring similar benefits across different gendered sport championships
- Banning pre-dispute arbitration clauses
I sat down with attorney @fotc_sports a year ago for our podcast @NILDisclosure where she warned about the possible ramifications of Johnson v. #NCAA. The ruling represents a shift towards a more professionalized model in collegiate sports, particularly in revenue-generating sports like FB and MBB. Check out more below 👇🏼
This eliminates the NCAA's limit of 10 on-field coaches, a rule that no longer reflected the staffing structures of top programs. The change also avoids potential legal challenges from coaches. The move was met with optimism, and is expected to benefit certain coaching positions.
NEWS: The NCAA DI Council has approved any staff member to provide technical and tactical instruction to athletes.
Change is effective immediately. Unlimited college football coaching staffs have arrived.

I’d put university pay and revenue share in the same bucket.
Both are likely coming from universities.
Remains to be seen if fan donations will play a role.
A future model might eliminate them.
Yesterday, Virginia made headlines across the country as HB 1505 was signed giving in-state schools virtual autonomy in providing NIL compensation to athletes.
But what does it mean?
@onuss_ from @AthleteNIL joined to discuss.

Let's talk about the potential ban on #Tiktok and how it would affect student-athletes participating in #NIL deals as influencers: (a thread)

The #NCAA changed its memo regarding transfer portal rules (Bylaw & memo attached below). The #NCAA's transfer eligibility rules for the 2024-25 season are uncertain. However, student-athletes who transfer during the 2023-24 academic year may be eligible to play immediately in 2024-25 without a waiver. As noted below, they must follow the transfer notification windows set by the NCAA.

As a woman in sports, I’m happy to see this collective collaboration for the promotion of female athletes in their #NIL endeavors. Shout out to @TheEddieBlack the man behind the curtain who allows his female athletes to shine

However well-intentioned an antitrust exemption request by the #NCAA may be, they often institutionalize anticompetitive practices. Antitrust exemptions are difficult to remove once in place, and any federal bill proposing one for the #NCAA should be examined with great caution as pointed out here!
@ryan_silva_88 That being said, this issue is separate from the Antitrust #NIL arguments taking place in cases like TN & VA vs. NCAA.

The reason this won't happen is that very soon there will be a players union and they will negotiate a CBA with the schools that sets the proper guardrails in place. No more chaos, no more lawsuits. The sooner we get there, the better.
The most immediate effect of a preliminary injunction is that it stops the party against whom it is issued from taking certain actions. In this case, the #NCAA is prohibited from enforcing Bylaw 12.11.4.2
If states want to silence the NCAA, they should just enhance existing NIL laws or pass legislation if no law exists.
Consider that the NCAA’s “Quick Guide to New NCAA Interim Policy,” still on its website, says NIL activities protected by state law will not impact eligibility.
With the #NLRB decision creating precedent, now’s the time to start thinking about what the #NCAA & college athletics looks like should athletes be deemed employees. Listen in here to what @fotc_sports has to say

Possible effects of the #NLRB decision? unionization of athletes, athletes deemed employees of universities.. the list goes on! Check out our episode of @NILDisclosure where we sit down with @fotc_sports to discuss all things employment law within sports!

Tennessee and Virginia have also already filed their motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, asking the court to enjoin the NIL recruiting ban.
It asks that the TRO be entered by February 6, the day before the football signing period opens.
So what’s going on with the #NCAA ? Why now? What’s next? Who really knows the answers! But what we can do is report on the facts!
