The New Reality is Now Upon Us

Yep, the are playing the shell game to its fullest. The big schools are guilty of creating this mess. Now they are just further hurting their own boosters.

 

From CBS Sports report on this topic. Dayum!
Winner: Billable hours
As the saying goes, billable hours are undefeated. That's certainly true with the House settlement. The class action counsel, led by Jeffrey Kessler and Steve Berman, are expected to receive a whopping $484 million for their work in bringing the class-action lawsuit to completion. Considerable money has been spent by the NCAA and House defendants on attorneys, too. And, of course, there will likely be more lawsuits to come -- especially from a Title IX angle -- once the schools begin officially paying athletes. There's never been a better time to be a lawyer with an interest in college sports.

I don’t believe that will happen. However, Harvard is talking smack about winning the national championship in football. Lol.

 

The amateur league that so many profess to love.

 

I got to see the Florida Gators win national championships in football, basketball, and baseball (along with most other sports) before it all went to $hit.

Will be different from here on out, but we will adapt.

 

The long march of the triumph of the homo economicus view of humanity.

The cynical perspective that we are each just atomized contributors to the faceless “economy”, and the slow suffocation of beauty and thought and intellectual pursuit for its own sake all in the name of utility and efficiency.

Sad.

 

That was the goal to get to this point all along. Agents, Attorneys and Accountants were shut out of the massive money train that NCAA Football became and desperately wanted a cut.

 

Anyone that thinks that 75% of revenue is going to go to football better to be ready to shut down the majority of the Olympic sports. There are going to be lawsuits trying to ensure women's swim team gets paid the same amount as the football players.

 

When I blew-out my knee in basketball I transferred over to the golf team. My girlfriend's dad was the A.D. and Title IX hit. I heard all about it first hand. The college couldn't afford to subsidize a girl's golf team so mine was cut. That was 1980 so any Title IX lawsuits of football vs. women's sports as a whole would have probably already been filed. Class actions lawsuits have been the shiny thing ambulance chasers have coveted for years and years now. It will be a huge mess regardless and probably why the SEC and Big Whatever are trying to get out now, before things hit the fan even worse.

 

I kind of wish the SEC and Big10 would just break off already and what’s going to happen eventually will happen now.

 

Ive never agreed with lX. Men play more spirts period. Making it forced equalis some political crap.

 

Yep, how are title IX sports going to be supported without the football money? It could be tough at many schools.

 

It’s a veritable number you could say the same from player to player and also Football has many more people to pay than a track team or basketball team.
@tegator80 way to have a nice dramatic well written post to start this thing out. I chuckled.

 

Very difficult to dispute a single word of this! Well done sir!

 

The first strike will be it for me, that or holdouts.... lawsuit against our athletics department or school... collective bargaining. I have plenty of things I can do with that extra time in my life.

 

Does this mean we can now criticize the "pro" athletes during the game thread without the fear of getting banned or suspended?
