The can is already open. NCAA is worthless. Not even sure what they are around for anymore

They run a pretty good basketball tournament once a year!

How can the NCAA be expected to function if every state can just set their own rules? If the NCAA could have any backbone they would just kick Tennessee schools out saying legally the Tennessee schools can’t comply with the NCAA’s rules.

The fact that the Tennessee legislature did this just goes to show they don’t expect any consequences.

As pointed out in the OP article, Fed codification of the House Settlement will supersede this TN state law and similar laws from other states.

But I would still like to see the P4 conferences, including Sankey, threaten UT with forfeiture of games and/or ineligibility if UT athletes don't register their NIL deals with Deloitte and aren't cleared by them. The P4 conferences fund the Clearinghouse, not the NCAA.

Maybe I'm naive but I think this could be better than current setup. This could give schools some added power. May end there's less stouts. Guys are held to more than a year at same school

Be awesome if Congress delays any law and forces SEC to regulate their own mess.

It would be simple to just say that to participate in NCAA sanctioned events, all teams must comply with NCAA rules. Won’t prevent the players from signing the deals, but it would prevent Tennessee or other teams from playing in the NCAA championships if they do. That could actually hold up in court in that the NCAA wouldn’t prevent students from signing the deals but rather just oversee their championships only.

Any legislation will never solve college football problems. Schools will always find a way around to skirt the law.

Valid.

I'm bracing for the day when that dissolves, replaced (probably) with a not-as-good version.

Pfft. All they care about is inquiries, impeachment, and vacation hours.

I'm sure his TV partners would love benching his 4th or 5th most valuable property...
