Clock keeps ticking, Mark.

Spring practice may be down for the count, but something else affecting college sports marches on.

BREAKING: Florida House has passed bill allowing college athletes to earn $ from name, image & likeness beginning July 2021. Also passed by Florida Senate.

The bill goes to Florida Governor DeSantis for approval. Effective date earlier than CA by 2 years. Great job @ChipLaMarca!

DeSantis is already on record as being in favor of the bill, so I expect it to become law shortly, thereby cutting the NCAA’s time frame to act considerably.

At least Emmert’s got a little extra time to work on it now.
