Well, April 7th came and went with no ratification of the house case settlement. We were told 6+ months ago, that Judge Wilkins was going to put an end to this round of law suits and bring some clarity to college sports with her signing of on the House case settlement. We were all waiting with baited breath for the April 7th. She didn't deliver the guidance and peace we all sought. Matter of fact she added more fuel to the fire and pushed back on one the key components of the college leaderships for the future of college sports. I will tell you what push back was and the other details from the nothing burger , that was April 7th.
I finish with a new story in college sports. Something we see pro sports every day. I'll inform how this young college athlete and his parent chose to handle things and what the school's response to their actions.

I started with the celebration of April 7th eve. What is April 7th eve? April 7th supposed is the day that will college sports forever, for now. Judge is to ratify the House/Carter/Hubbard cases. That is suppose to give direction to colleges on how to handle college from this point on. Lets face it, this will change little to nothing, as more litigation is on the way.
I caught up with an old friend who once was a student basketball manager at the U. of MN under Clem "The Gem" Haskins. Brehz gave an interesting look into Gopher basketball history. He work with new Gopher basketball Head Coach Niko Medved as student managers. Brehz could give you some insights on what Coach Medved led program may offer us Gopher fans and alumni. Brehz and I finished our discussion with his thoughts on the land scape of college sports, as someone who helps coaching staffs at the high school level and officiates high school games.

Todays episode was going to be on how the NBA and some of their stars are play a role in college NIL and Revenue sharing. I discussed the highlights ,but the show takes a turn that will anger some that I discuss the topic. Others will be good with fact that I chose to shine a light on topic. The firing of Ben Johnson clearly shows some warts of the Gopher Athletic Program. There will be heat on your host and he is ready for all the smoke. I zeroed in on one person and person alone, for the downward turn of the entire program.

The Atlantic Coast Conference may have found peace in these times.
The law suits between FSU/Clemson vs the ACC have been dropped.
Get the details on what brought about the ACC and it's playing nice and for how long. What effects could the ACC peace mean for the B1G, Big XII and SEC.
With April 7th coming fast, why some starting to change their minds about the House case settlement. What this settlement will and will provide for the member institutions of the NCAA.
Why do some people believe that athletes should not have to pay state tax on their new found riches? I don't know, their are a lot of states trying to gain a recruiting advantage by having their local reps make that possible.

The tone of the nations politics are stating to bubble up into college sports.
The have(B1G and SEC) want even more of the wealth and opportunities from the CFP and they met recently to discuss how they plan to do so. They want to take away money and opportunities from the other poorer conferences and control more of the power. The other 2 power 4 conference maybe helpless to stop them. At the end of this podcast I tell who maybe can stop the B1G/SEC. My answer may surprise you and why they have to.
Speaking of taking away opportunities of college athletes is happening at the Government level also. The state of Texas legislators are pushing forth legislation to limit scholarships to international athletes. Why are they doing so? I lay out some thoughts and stats on the subject.

This episode starts off a little different with me discussing some topics before a commercial break. I lean into the topic of Title IX being under attack by new Federal administration. For now it's just a memo. Then I talk about the death of Spring football -"SPRING GAMES". A lot of people love them and I'm here to tell you why they are going by the waste side. I also, wonder if if it will affect other sports alternate practice seasons. I finish this segment with a look into meeting that is happening between B1G and the SEC on what there next move is to flex their new found power and control of the CFP.
After the break I'm join by today's guest Mike Burns the Head Coach of the Men's Gymnastics team at the University of Minnesota. Mike has the program thriving after losing it's varsity level status and winning the Gymact National title for College club teams. We get an update from Mike on where now trains, competes and how the community at large have rallied around the team to keep it going. It's a great and heart warming story of survival and being relevant. Of course I asked Mike questions on where see the college sports heading in the future and many tentacles that these decisions effect on college campuses.

A whole lot of betting going on and this episode is here to explain what is going on. First of all FSU and Clemson betted against the ACC and ESPN and lost. Okay, okay let me explain. FSU and Clemson were suing the ACC and ESPN for the ability to break the Grant of rights. They believed that they could break the grant of rights and get to another Conference and get a bigger and better rev share cut. Here the thing, FSU and Clemson were burning money on legal fees. They were no closer to getting free from the ACC. Plus, they found how much the other Conferences didn't what them. They did gain some new advantages with staying with the ACC. Peace in our time?
Some Georgia state legislators are betting on that can pass legislation that with allow the college athletes in their state to be tax exempt. They believe this legislation will aid in better recruiting at the schools in their state. One the biggest issues the NCAA faces is interference from State law makers who only see things that set advantages for their schools. Those law makers only make it difficult for the NCAA to pass law that are equal for all schools.
Speaking of Law makers our congress is being wooed by lobbyist of the NCAA to create and pass anti-trust laws to protect them from being sued every time try to legislate the rules that are past by the member institutions. There is a strange twist, these same law makers are being wooed by leaders of NIL leaders for the athletes. The law makers are double dipping , but for who's benefit? Sounds like both side are betting on something will get done.
Lastly, The FBI is investigating point shaving and game influence in the NBA and College basketball. The colleges are fearing betting on many levels. The attacks on players social media and the lost of eligibility. Effecting the outcome of games is having a strange twist on college sports, or why it's happening at certain levels of College Basketball.

This episode begins with conversation with friend and former fellow KQRS cast member as I inform Bob about NIL and all the news and mis-information surroundings the topic. After I talked to Bob, I moved on to today topic the on coming power flex from Tony Petitti of the B1G and Greg Stanky of the SEC. They want to control of the CFP, how many teams from what conference get in. They already will get 59% of the revenue from the CFP games to split between them. Petitti and Stanky want control of governance over all NCAA championships. Including the basketball tournament. Some other commissioners are starting to grumble and openly and say go ahead, we're calling your bluff. Go and take your ball and suffer the consequence's. Some believe that if Petitti and Stanky did move their conferences out the CFP and NCAA, they will destroy college sports as we know it and they will become the 2 largest sports villains in sports history.
Lastly, Breaking news involving Ohio State and conference rival Penn State.
