Another crazed Left Coast commie pinko politico threatens the NCAA:
.@MittRomney on college sports: "You know something is seriously awry. … The reality is Congress is going to act. We’re coming for you. We’re coming to help these athletes." #ncaa

Wait… Mitt Romney? Mitt Freakin’ Romney?
Y’know, if you really think you’re facing an existential crisis and Mitt Romney’s coming for you, maybe it’s time to make a deal. Just a thought…

“Not playing for NIL deals. Not playing to go viral. Not playing for TikTok,” (Nolan) Smith said. “Playing for the guy next to you and being able to push with him through tough situations. I would love for the guys to take that into next year. Don’t play for money. Play for your ‘why’ — why you play football.”-- The Athletic, 7/20/22

The ncaa is on the wrong side of the argument from a t least a few different perspectives here. It’s not illogical that Romney sides against them from a free market/individual freedom perspective. Anecdotal ly, from talking with people I meet at business functions, the ncaa argument has lost public support from both sides of the aisle. I obviously haven’t seen national poll on the issue

From the bipartisan calls for reform (for whatever the motivation), the National Corrupt Athletic Association is maybe a few rungs above the Mafia, ISIS, MS-13, and the Colombian cartels in popularity right now.
NCAA, heal thyself before others force cod liver oil down your throat.

Continuing to portray this as a left vs. right issue (or acting bemused when this politician, state, body, etc. comes out in favor of this), is pretty ridiculous – it has simply become another pander for politicians….

“I make money on your image and likeness not you.” I don’t know anyone personally who argues the NCAA is on the right side of this trade anymore. A universally backed issue is one politicians can get behind. All 50 states and congress (soon and soon) can’t be wrong? Well never mind.

I’ve got a smart friend who only casually follows college sports. He thought it was about paying college athletes. He told me about a college choir that applied for NCAA membership so they could get paid. Once I explained to him that they already could get paid for anything, but an NCAA athlete couldn’t even take a paid internship in their major, or get paid to sell Bubba’s Used Cars, then he understood.
The general public probably still doesn’t get this and are waiting for their fearless leaders to tell them how to think.

Although Mitt is a multimillionaire and career politician who always has a free hand for lobbyist; He has a history of always falling into the loser’s bracket. Perhaps he chose to be on the winners side or maybe a lobbyist just wrote down what he wanted Mitt to say

Starting Bain Capital and becoming a multimillionaire in private equity now qualifies as “career politician”?

For the hundredth time Richard, nobody is saying the athletes don’t get compensation. The issue is artificially capping their compensation below market value.

During the 2012 campaign, an Obama ad featured a man who worked at a steel mill until Bain Capital bought it and closed it. A year or two later, his wife lost her job and benefits (unrelated to Bain). After that, she contracted cancer and died about five years after Bain closed the steel mill.
So, for intellectuals, it’s a straight line between Mitt Romney and death from cancer.
