My biggest question on this is - why is the government getting involved in this? Seems to me that this is an NCAA thing...
 
The NCAA need to fix this, not the legislature or the courts. Good Heavens. Many things can be done. If the NCAA does nothing and doesn't enforce the few rules they have left, then what are they here for??? Maybe just to collect and distribute TV money and revenue from the tournaments.

Well, that's the issue. The NCAA is comprised of the NCAA institutions and members from said institutions are the ones that participate in the committees that develops the rules. So the schools are the ones that passed the rules. They're being sued on behalf of the players because they don't like the rules.

So what is the point of the NCAA if they cannot impose any rules? Like, I don't know what else they can do besides what you're stating really. They're potentially being stripped of the ability to create and enforce rules.
 
Honestly, they need more rules on this. A kid going to 4 schools in 4 years is ridiculous! Cobie Barnes is a great example. My opinion you get one transfer and you are done should be the rule.
This just opens the door further for NIL Corruption!

Yes, means every single transfer is now instantly eligible for the next 14 days at least. My guess is the NCAA wouldn't dare fuck with anyone that plays because it just opens them up to more lawsuits they'd have to defend and it would likely be a class-action which I assume would be even more costly to fuck with. @Hooper what do you think?

While I'm happy for Gray and I'm glad he is can play (for at least 2 weeks). I thought his transfer being denied was complete bullshit since it was his first D1-to-D1 transfer and the other ones being approved were multiple D1 transfers. But if this is long term (guys can just transfer as much as they want) it's going to be the nail in the coffin for ssssoooo many programs. What an absolute mess going on right now
 
What a freaking joke the NCAA has become. Perhaps it's time for most D-I schools to look at forming a new association that is about COLLEGE athletics and STUDENT-athletes. Kind of like the NCAA used to be...

Generally agree. Boy it's a new age when it comes to Subject Matter Jurisdiction since I left law school. Courts rarely got involved in things like athletic assocation policies back in the day. Times certainly have changed,

If you think ANY current MVC schools will be included in a new association, I have land to sell you in Florida AND a REALLLY nice bridge in the New York Metro Area -- both are GREAT values
 
A semi-legal question in a world where the NCAA has been chopped off at the knees by the legal system. The NCAA crime was trying to 'protect' its definition of amateurism:

If multiple governing bodies come into existence for separate 'voluntarily joined' organizations, then can each organization be allowed to establish membership guidelines w/o anti-competitive legal interference? For example, if there is a Power 5-1 FBS organization that enfolds all sports at those 60+ institutions can it write its own remuneration rules and competitive guidelines and transfer rules for internal and external transfers if there exists a totally separate organization for institutions choosing to join it even though it adopts rules far more restrictive for remuneration and transfers?

When the NCAA dominated every major institution, only the NAIA was an alternative. If the 300 or so NCAA D1 MBB programs which are ejected from the new dominant power assembly choose to form a new organization and each agrees to abide by those rules which restrict them and their athletes more strongly than the major institutions choose for themselves, why is that not legal and feasible. If the athlete has a choice and chooses B over A, then he/she should willingly comply with the existing rules. If they want A but are not good enough to be recruited, they can choose NAIA or just be a student. I don't understand why a voluntary organization cannot set its own rules if viable alternatives are in place.

so you're upset Barnes played by the rules as decided by the NCAA, NJCAA and NAIA?

hell - his career is effectively what DyedBlue outlines as a future for college sports

Barnes' career hasn't been one of his chasing a larger stage, larger NiL payout
