With the proposed settlement of the House V. NCAA case last week , I thought it was good time to ask some questions about this historic change in college athletics with no other than former U. of Minnesota A.D. Joel Maturi. Who has also sent some time helping out the NCAA. I began our one hour journey by asking Joel about further conference realignment and the silly notion of some members of the media who believe that Conference would vote for relegation.
From there we discussed who are the winners and losers in this settlement. How it would effect the structure of Athletic dept. on college campus. How it effect the structure of the NCAA. How it would effect the Non-Revenue/Olympic sports. We even talked about how it could change the Olympic model in the U.S. Could the way scholarships taken away or increase to those who do not get them now.
We looked at how the effects on NIL and Collectives and the Transfer Portal. Will it open the college sports to more NIL and transfers. Could it bring some long overdue controls to this mess. How will it effect Title IX and also, the possibilities of them becoming employees.

It's time for the power of College athletics to admit that they need to start sharing the revenue generated by the athletes. A framework has been started and edging towards an agreement to settle the House vs. NCAA case. They have to the end of May 2024. It will cost them 1 billion dollars to back the athlete from 2018 to 2022. This will not end the court cases, but it put an end to amateurism. I go into great detail how the athletes win and how they will lose in the future world of the college sports. I finish with a personal note on the future of my life.

With things changing and other issues coming to a head in college athletics everything little detail is being blown up into a mountain. The way people comment on what they see and hear is mostly an over reaction to gain listeners or viewers by sensationalizing the story. There are a lot of chicken littles out there, as I try to present the information in calm , logical and an easy to understand way.
More updates on the House vs NCAA case. The status of the Pac 2(12) and the Life of the G5. The possibilities of how sports true will end up. Lastly, the State of Florida flexes it legal muscle to scare ESPN and the ACC.

With the seasons changing once again , it's time to put somethings to Bed. I start the show with salutes to the 2024 NCAA Women's and Men's College Basketball championships. The undefeated champs from the U. of South Carolina basketball team lead their head Coach Dawn Stanly. Showing there deep bench and it's Power. Speaking of power, the Men's Champ U. of Conn. They beat their foes by double digits in each game. Showing they could over power each in many different ways. Next I touched on Spring football and how boring it can be and how some are looking to change it. I sprinkled in some NIL and Transfer Portal Talk. The buzz last week was on the non-story of the "SUPER LEAGUE". There are many different reasons on why it can't happen for now and the next 5-8 years. Lastly, I ended the show with salute to a team that took a giant step forward 10years ago and change the fortunes of a college softball program. The 2014 Gopher Softball team showed that they could beat the hated Michigan Wolverines for the Tourney title and changed the trajectory of program to a national recognized program from the laughable losers they had been for years. This victory not changed things in the B1G, but gave more teams in the B1G hope that they could do it also.

A Double-Double standard is once again being exposed in College sports, but this time it's women college sports. Are they allowed to be physical, be expressive and hold nothing back. Or do we want our female athletes to dainty, finesse young ladies. Some fill that they should never want to be aggressive, tough, physical or power. Some believe that make the young female athlete look man-like. That they should be lady-like at times. Watching young female up-close as I did for 20+ years. Made see and understand there is no room for that on the field or court. I understood to be champion they had to work hard at their sport, not show weakness to either coaches, teammates or opponents. They even to this day the majority of female athlete were brought to their sport by their dad, older brother or other male in the family. At younger ages they against boys who drilled to tough and never give in. If that's the case then what do you expect those young to do if they are fighting for playing time on a majority boys team. They have to work 2x as hard and be as tough or tougher.
The other shoe in this double-double standard is the racial component that we throw into the picture. Good gal v bad gals. The wholesome white players and the dirty black. As we have seen in this and last years NCAA women basketball tourney. Players of both races act the same way on the court, but only to have them described differently by the media and social media. We thought we finally got rid of this crap only to rear it's ugly head in women sports.
In a lot of way the only thing the NCAA has gotten right, is the elevation of women sports. Partly it came kicking and screaming to the party, but they have really taken care of women sports in the past 20 years. Now if only the people outside the sport would the same. Women's basketball has come a long way from tip-toe ball throwing.(people in MN will understand that on.)

With the world of college sports spinning ever so faster. I asked a simple question.
Should there be a draft in college sports? I would love hear from all you on that one.
The main topic for this week is surrounding the talk that All Could Collapse. What am I talking about. The ACC of course. With members suing the conference and blaming ESPN of being a bad partner. The schools of the ACC found out a couple of things in the past few weeks. One, they will be 30-60 million dollars per behind the schools of the B1G and SEC. This is the main reason why Clemson joined the party in suing the ACC. Clemson wants out and they want to join either the B1G or SEC. The other fact the school of the ACC learned. ESPN could opt of its TV deal with the conference. Leaving the ACC twist in the wind and try to find better revenues and a better TV deal. ESPN has many reason to do so. What recourse does the ACC schools have? Sue to get and that line is getting longer or they could vote to dissolve the conference. Why would they that? At least they could call their shot and start a new or just split up on their on terms. They have until July 2025 to do so. This going to be a B1G story in the weeks to come in College sports.

I was joined in Studio by my Son John Blackshear II, (Jay Bee Jay).
Even I could hear him in Studio, the Mic did not catch his voice, maybe we can do it again.
It was cool that he sat in, now if I could get him to really crack the mic. LOL
I could see his body movements and facial expressions when I laid down some info.
I covered the new rules changes of college football. Next year the helmet communication devices. This should eliminate sign stealing issue and the side show of trying to disguise the play called. It looks like Connor Stallions will be out of work. Also, there will be a 2 minutes warning at the end of the 2nd qtr and 4th qtr. The TV people get a time out at the most dramatic times of the game guaranteed.
Why did Trev Alberts leave the school he played for and take a job at Texas A&M?
The format for the 2026 CFP was agreed to and was approved. The SEC and B1G tried flex with its new found power. The wanted to get 4 automatic bids in the CFP. The G5, Big XII and the ACC called the bluff of the B1G and Sec, who stated if that if the They didn't get there way, they would leave the CFP and take their conference teams and start their own Playoff's with the backing of ESPN and Fox. They would have killed off the CFP 2026 new extended format. When the other conferences said no to that many auto bids . The B1G and SEC gave in and agreed to 1 bid per conference, but they got what they really wanted. The B1G and SEC will get 53% of the CFP MONEY. Why is this important? If you want to know, you will have to listen to my podcast.

This week I start off with answering question from my sister Charlotte. Did I hear you right, the schools are suing themselves. Yes, when a school goes to court vs. NCAA, they are going to court against themselves per se. I gave a state of college athletics. The list of story lines that pop ups and fade, to only pop up again.
I touched on the not yet signed TV for the CFP with ESPN and why it's not signed. The CFP format and why the P2 is slowing the future format being finalized.
Why college athletes transferring is not as big as their counterparts.
There are good things that happen within college Athletics.
Why some say the whining of old college Coaches about working too hard and no time off. They are the highest paid employee's in each state. They are jut a bunch old men yelling at clouds. There was a 33 year old coach to paint a totally different picture.
Oh, yeah, I got to the nitty-gritty of what the B1G and SEC are to pull off. Are they just flexing to get more money and power. Are they just doing enough to say "we tried", before they just break off and do their own thing.
