I bet schools didn’t see this one coming.

I wonder how many hints it’s going to take before the NCAA gets the message that hunkering down isn’t a working strategy any more.

Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

So much so that they just killed 1,000 current and about 10K more expected union jobs by pulling the Keystone Pipeline permit.

Players do their schoolwork, practice and play, and many perform public service as well. It’s a perverted system that allows a neophyte A.D. to be paid hundreds of thousand while the kids who generate the income get shafted. The pendulum would have to swing a heckuva long way left before I’d consider it equal, let alone in the players favor.

The schools want to eat their cake and have it too. They want to treat them like employees for all purposes except paying them or allowing them to have any negotiating power.

It’s not even so much not paying them as it it not having to cover them in the WC system. That’s the potential large reserve they don’t want to have to budget for.

That’s the first time I’ve seen that brought up. Of course, they could make them 1099 employees responsible for their own, but then they couldn’t stop them from capitalizing on NIL.

Research the history of amateurism. It’s always been about avoiding WC.

Why was the decision thrown out?

IIRC, the NLRB objected to binding Northwestern only.

The inability to bind any state run schools was a factor as well as I understand it.
In essence, if the opinion stood, Vandy could have a union and that would be it in the sec.

Mark Emmert`s idea of change is for himself and other paymasters to collect more money. As long as he is on the job there is no chance of real change unless forced upon them.
