It is only the beginning!

God the NCAA fumbled this so, so, so, so bad.

God the NCAA fumbled this so, so, so, so bad. NCAA fumbled this 15 years ago and now they can’t govern. Every rule they try to enforce is litigated into oblivion. Need congress to bail them out. Only winners are the lawyers.

I've reluctantly concluded that this will be the only viable solution to the current mess. The government helped create the NCAA, so they bare some culpability. My favorite AI bot put it this way: "The NCAA was formed by colleges and universities in response to safety concerns in college football. Specifically, in 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt convened White House conferences to address injuries and deaths in football, which led to a meeting of 13 colleges to reform playing rules. The Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS) was then established in 1906, and it was later renamed the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 1910." The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right." Note: My avatar is the national colors of the 78th Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry, which are now preserved in a climate controlled vault at the Ohio History Connection.
