Red Klotz had a better winning % than the NCAA!   iykyk

Kentucky judge has denied NCAA request for emergency relief. Significant case with high profile basketball names.

I wonder if this obstinance will backfire on the NCAA. They're not going to get the bill they want from Congress, so all this chaos they're creating just highlights for everyone how unfair and incompetent they are. I could see them dropping even further in the public's opinion. Someone in PR should let them know that they should give up soon.

 Baker may not have been put in charge of the NCAA with the goal of destroying it from the inside, but if he was what exactly would he be doing differently?

I hope you are right about the bold, but I'm not so sure

Is it even possible for their image to improve in the eyes of the public? The NCAA is a trash organization and has been for many years. They need to be put out to pasture and replaced with an organization that cares about more than cashing the checks and losing suits in courts.

The senate passed the bill but the house has been out of session for over a month. I'm sure they're gonna have other issues to sort far ahead of some crappy bill to try to help the NCAA save face.

Of course, given that it's politics, so I could be wrong.

You're underestimating the ineptness of Congress. Even the NCAA falls short of that lofty standing.

Maybe I'm overestimating the power of Disney and others with a lot of money riding on this. I won't think we're out of the woods until we're through the lame duck session.

Another L for the NCAA.  Ain’t nothing getting expedited.

Good news.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully that means Alexis gets through the year. The 1 thing the exhibition games made clear is how important he is to what DDV wants to be doing.

Good grief.  Drop it already.  They claim to be "for the athletes."  What good comes from this BS at this point??   Who would benefit from a NCAA "win?"    Move on.

Watch for if they set it out for oral argument. That would almost surely run out the clock or pretty close.

 

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they just slow roll it to let the kids stay eligible and then it becomes moot and they sidestep the whole thing altogether. That’s what I would do. :^)
