ScottM Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It seems some Northwestern football players are trying to form a union. And they have some pretty strong legal guns backing them up. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-28/northwestern-university-football-players-seeking-to-form-union.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2014/08/07/ncaa-board-of-directors-autonomy-vote-power-five-conferences/13716349/ The 16-2 vote by the Division I Board of Directors, which took place at NCAA headquarters, is subject to a 60-day veto period before the new governance structure is official. It is not expected enough schools will to override to put the legislation in jeopardy. The dissenting votes came from Ivy League rep and Dartmouth President Phil Hanlon and Delaware President Patrick Harker, the representative of the Colonial Athletic Conference. In a statement, NCAA President Mark Emmert said, "I am immensely proud of the work done by the membership. The new governance model represents a compromise on all sides that will better serve our members and, most importantly, our student-athletes. These changes will help all our schools better support the young people who come to college to play sports while earning a degree." All schools? So what's happening with Michigan, Minnesota, Alabama, and UCLA is going to help better Ball State, Wyoming, UTEP, and the FCS? All I see is a mass exit of g5 and FCS players being recruited or scouted by, and making a dash for the $5 (my abbreviation for the p5).

ScottM Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm not sure where this fits, but since it's an overhang of ongoing litigation and threats from the bigger conferences, it may work here. I wonder if this would impact sports like hockey and others where smaller FCS and D2 schools compete against B10 schools for recruits. http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/277787901.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one thing to say the NCAA must disappear; it’s another to describe what should take its place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yababy8 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The NCAA has/is being reigned in as of late. They are definitely moving past a high point of power. It was in the midst of that peak where UND and the Sioux name found itself under siege. I commented in another thread my opinion that the NCAA has extinguished any and all power outside of what is explicitly stated in our settlement agreement. I think that is an important idea which should be considered and discussed by all Sioux fans and by those who seek to distroy the Sioux name..

The Sicatoka Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The NCAA thinks it's a branch of government. Heck, there are people out there that believe the NCAA is a branch of government. Reality: The NCAA can not create law. Reality: The NCAA has no law enforcement authority. Heck, the NCAA runs more like ... well ... organized crime: intimidation, blackmail, claiming authority where they have none, knee-capping some (Alaska), ignoring others (North Carolina). It's over a decade old, but I think the NCAA would still make this list if it was created today: http://www.businessweek.com/stories/2002-12-08/the-best-little-monopoly-in-america Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, the association overreached, something it has seemed to acknowledge implicitly by lifting some of the sanctions. Internal N.C.A.A. emails that were recently made public show that the staff knew it had no jurisdiction, and that it was “bluffing” in trying to get Penn State to accept its penalties.Very interesting.
