Nah, you don't like what I post for the most part since it doesn't align with your wish list for ISU's future.

So your argument is a Cykadelic2 hypothetical. No way I can live in your mind.
Time to ignore.
If you're finally realizing now that the CBS/NBC/B12 scenario was a hypothetical, you do need help.
My realistic wish for ISUs future is that the Rogers hire was a good one and football remains competitive and a solid member of whatever we end up calling the level directly below the P2. There is zero reason that can't be the outcome here. Iowa State is not Wazzu or Oregon State or Wake Forest or BC or any other bottom feeder like you seem to think. There is real value here and the networks and corporate sponsors recognize that.
It clearly wasn't. You're again having issues distinguishing between "fact" and a convincing hypothetical.
He has gone so far off the reservation it's comical. But I cant quit it, lol.
And you call other people out for comprehension. Mirror, my friend, mirror.
Dan Patrick talks about the Weasel Empire, Confederate Division, leader, Greggy Sankey. Basically he says that talking about taking your ball and go home makes you look very weak.
The worst thing they could have done is give the Big 10 the concessions they wanted and then give them anti trust protection. Petitti is taking a gamble by not securing that protection, in my opinion. That is the most valuable thing Congress could dangle for the two weasel empires.

It was always highly iffy due to mid-terms that PCSA would come to a vote in both the House and Senate this year. Looking like next year is more probable.
Obviously doesn't help when you have the SEC and B10 mucking up the process with demands to increase the RevShare/NIL cap via Fed legislation since they now face the prospect of not being able to (legally) keep promises made to FB and MBB athletes within the framework of the House Settlement. Best case scenario would be FB player boycotts this fall which some SEC coaches have reportedly indicated a fear of.
And Sankey/ESPN attempting to revise anti-expansion provisions is laughable as well given Sankey's prior comment that the SEC is already a super league. ESPN obviously pulling the strings on that one.
Great op-ed here from the Presidents of Dayton and SMC regarding the House Settlement:
Cinderella may soon be casualty of college basketball's money war| Opinion
The future of college sports will not be secured by continually raising the price of admission until only a handful of giants can afford to play.
This along Tuberville's urging to go for his reduced bill probably spells the end of the Protect College Sports Act.
Tuberville's bill is actually refreshingly short and simple and will at least address many fan's #1 issue which is unlimited free agency. Link
I think the biggest issue is that one overarching bill is way too big of an apple to take a bite of. Giant legislation has done nothing but create problems at every level of government and just leads to so many unintended consequences.It was always highly iffy due to mid-terms that PCSA would come to a vote in both the House and Senate this year.

Pass a smaller bill that gives the NCAA just enough anti-trust protection to enforce transfer rules and then actually give it enough time to see if that changes the calculus on what reform really needs to be done. You're immediately going to get sued but hopefully there's enough teeth to get it through the courts.
On Tuberville's bill, I don't see any suits players could bring would actually have any chance of winning. Congress has clear jurisdiction over this area seeing as the anti-trust laws themselves are acts of congress.
The bill wasn't too big except for ESPN/SEC and Fox/B10 and the anti-expansion provisions they wanted out. And that opposition only served the interests of ESPN and Fox. And media rights pooling was voluntary all along and the bill is neutral on employment. And of course they wanted to add an increased comp cap which House currently has jurisdiction over.
Exactly. It was too big and tried to ram through too many big changes at one time.
Take care of the most pressing issue first and go from there.
