The Supreme Court had absolutely no interest in the concept of amateurism except for the fact that it unconstitutionally deprived certain citizens of the right to make money.

The problem is that once controlled access to money is removed from amateurism, it in reality destroys the concept.

I’m not sure where college sports goes from here but rest assured that there will be no limitations, controls, rules on money making.

In fact, if the NCAA tries going back to restricting eligibility to play upon transfer as a means to curb the effects of open NIL, I’m not sure that the US Supreme Court may not go one step further and rule that such restrictions are indirectly unconstitutional on the same basis.

Do you think the "self imposed" restriction MLB places on itself by refraining from drafting post Frosh, Soph, and pre Jr. players will be challenged in the courts?

No. Like the Supreme Court never ruled that any player is entitled to play college sports, they will not rule that any player is entitled to play professional sports.

What they ruled is that college sports (NCAA) can’t abridge a players right to make money just because they play that sport.

Whether I could or not doesn't come into play here because I don't beleive in this whole concept. I also believe it is a money pit; it will just continue to need feeding.

I am crazy, I really like(d) amateur sports.

Anybody for a game of badmitton?

Agree.

Except for the badmitton part.

Like with everything else, big money ruined something we really enjoyed for many years.

For those that think rooting for the shirt is the way to go, I respect that. I wish it were that easy for me. But the harsh reality is, the smaller schools will die a quick death embracing that mindset, imo.

If we were a well run organization… If we were strongly supported by the community at large… If we were in a wealthy state with upward mobility (with regard to conference and TV contracts).. I might be more inclined to believe that we could weather the storm long enough to make the final 60 team cut.

But that’s just not the reality. I’ll be interested to see who is left on the “just root for clothes” bandwagon after Ole Miss comes to town and offers Chriss a couple million to go QB for Kiffin.

I think Ragin Review needs to host a podcast at Pete's.

I am so ready for the big money boys to go into their own room to play AND there be some rules that regulate their tampering. At least go back to the sitting out a year if transferring.

What about abridging the right to make more money?
