Good point.

UNLV the first school to have a jersey patch sponsorship for $11 million. Will be on football, basketball, and baseball. The NCAA is about to vote on uniform patches.

I thought "big red" in Lincoln meant the football team and not the accounting ledgers at Nebraska.

It looks like he got in trouble for trying to cut programs when a structural deficient was in place.  In other words, he was right sizing the programs.  So, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Faculty Senate voted overwhelmingly to support a no-confidence resolution against Bennett.  When is the public sector going to understand balancing a budget..

This is an issue that I would like to see the NCAA win. Pros have no business playing college sports.

If the NCAA would do a better job of making sure Athletes are going to class full time and taking classes toward getting a Bachler's degree or masters degree it would solve a lot of these issues.  I hear of too many 5 or 6 year players just taking 1 or 2 easy A classes.

Is this guy a full time student?

I think the sixth year thing should be subsiding now. Covid season *should* be out of the system now. I think a lot of the sixth year guys had taken advantage of that.

I think the NCAA should just do a blanket "five years to play four seasons" rule. You get a redshirt if you want. No waivers. At all. If you can't play four seasons in five years due to injury, I'm sorry but that is life. Its time to get a job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Football is just ridiculous where they have guys getting multiple redshirts. They talk about 25 year old Canadians, football has guys pushing 30

The NCAA is getting pushed around by courts. Its not a shock that they are being fairly deferential.
