A member of the U.S. House decided to introduce a bill to insure the athletes could not be made employees of a schools, Conferences or Associations. I truly do not have a grasp on why this brought fourth, but it is name The protection their Economic Freedom Act of 2024. I do have some thoughts on the topic. With the ever changing economic landscape of college athletics Schools, Conferences and Associations are all looking for more and new way to make money since Media sources of money have dried up. Schools are looking to not to subsidize the athletic dept anymore; even they pimp them out everyway they can. Also, the athletes themselves can't be pimped out anymore with giving a cut to them. I talk about two new ways the BIG Xll is looking at making more money, more money. Lastly, MLB is at all time low of the number of Black Americans in the game and why it's happening. What effects are there to college baseball and softball.

With this episode I do short but informational synopsis of the some of the unexcepted fallout from the NCAA V House (Carter & Hubbard) cases. Why would the lesser 22 other conference agree to pay bulk of the 2.8 billion dollar settlement?
Who should the College football players being suing, instead of the NCAA?
What will the NIL money go to in the future? Will collectives survive? Schools are already have taken action to bring them in house. I tell you it will work.
Lastly, What will be the next source income form Athletic departments? It something that has happen at the pro level and it has nothing to with NIL or ticket sales.

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.)
