What a worthless organization. They printed money for decades, thanks to using free labor. Now, over the past ten+ years that business model has been upended because they did nothing proactive - they just tried to hold on to what they had, while every court has said they’re violating anti-trust. Their last hope is this ridiculous attempt to get Congress to say they are exempt from antitrust.

No EO can save the NCAA. But they’ve shown no willingness to change. Until we have a collective bargaining agreement and contracts, lawyers and courts are gonna keep landing punches… until one day it’s KO’d.

These schools need to either make athletes employees (and finally accept what has been the de facto special status of athletes for more than a century), or just divest themselves from this entirely. Plenty of PE firms that would willingly invest.

Instead, presidents and chancellors sit in their ivory towers getting high on their own supply, and believing the BS that they hold some sort of special morality.

Full disclosure: I’d prefer to go back to the pre-Bannon period and believe a free education is enough renumeration. But those days are gone, and the NCAA is fully to blame.
