Honestly I thought they hinted at it well in today's podcast without getting political.
The truth is on this issue you probably do need both parties to balance things out in terms of rights of the players and health of the sport/traditions. We're talking about over 90% of these programs are wrapped up in state government inherently.
Are you talking intervention on challenges to amateurism, or intervention on realignment/TV rights? They certainly impact each other, but the odds of federal intervention are different.
I’m much more optimistic that private money will seek to make a profit via exploiting the fact these schools and ADs are inherently non-profits, by creating a singular college sports entity….in an effort to make money, if PE or an Amazon type acquired enough long term rights of the top schools, they’d implement a spending cap, and the needless arms race of a prisoner’s dilemma is mitigated.
We’ve had all the bad associated with PE, in which everyone is out to get their money without regard to the health of sport. The primary ones that currently have economic incentive to care about the greater good (not necessarily individual schools) are arguably the networks that need it to remain popular enough this get ratings.
