I recommend listening to Ted Cruz podcast for today (May 29), the Verdict. He goes into good detail about the bill he has filed. Many of us believe that NIL and transfer portal are ruining college sports. His bill makes a lot of sense.

He just had his 25th wedding anniversary and starts the show with that, so FF to about the 12 minute point. If you're not familiar with his podcast, his cohost is Ben Ferguson who played tennis at Ole Miss. He adds some good insight from his experience

Cruz needs to go back to being a small government conservative. The Feds controlling NCAA coaching hiring cycles, eligibility, which teams are on the schedule, TV rights, capping NIL, etc. would be a disaster. If the NCAA as currently structured can't regulate itself, it needs to be reformed into something that can.

Cruz needs a job not paid for by taxpayers.

I recommend not listening to Ted Cruz

that's what the podcast is.

We don't need more government or the NCAA for that matter.

The problem in college football is it's a $15B/yr business that isn't being run like a real business. The solution is simple, run it like a real business. The largest 20-30 programs (by football income) need to form a league; a league with rules. The smaller programs should also form their own leagues based on program size.

What he needs is to shave that mouse of a beard he keeps trying to pull off

Amazing they made it to 25 yrs with how he let Trump degrade his wife on a national stage, and then rolled over to have his belly scratched

I think it is a perfect time to mimic European soccer and create relaxation leagues where the bottom x teams from the top league are forced to drop down to next league down. That would make every game matter.

That is dumb. Doing something that eurotrash commies do is never the answer.
