SBC 2030

[JamesTheJeweler]

A couple of the AAC schools will be lucky enough to join the ACC. A few will join the PAC/MWC. The rest will backfill with most of the current SBC East. The SBC will backfill with the above lineup.

The only chance we had at avoiding this BS was to make the SBC as strong and attractive as possible. That option will be null and void the moment tech accepts the invite. Our fate will be sealed.

I agree 100%. The SunBelt will be the new CUSA. We wouldnt be elevating the conference with those adds....we'd be bringing everyone down. But hey.....bus trips! Am I right?! Weeeeeeeeeeee! I think im gonna throw up.

Student Athletic Fees Ban Bill .....currently in Congress.

....no more free lunch for college athletic programs. This will somewhat level the playing field back toward UL. JMU and ODU will be greatly impacted by this. Their budgets could immediately shrink by $10M-$15M overnight.

JMU will take a way bigger hit than 10-15M. They student fee is around $2300 per student, with about 20k plus enrolled.

Good luck trying to pass that. Also as long as students have the right to vote on it then it will never go away

Damn.....did you just UL Lafayette us?

I’ll take a stab at this. In that conference, we will be more than deserving of that name.

Check this out:

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bill to regulate college sports introduced in the House on Thursday would offer limited antitrust protection for the NCAA, while barring schools from using student fees to pay for college athletic programs.

Co-sponsors of the SCORE Act includes seven Republicans and two Democrats, which gives the bill a fair chance of passage in the House. It would need at least seven Democratic votes in the Senate, where its chances are viewed as slim.

The bill includes the three elements the NCAA has lobbied for: antitrust protections, pre-emption of state laws that regulate name, image, likeness payments, and a section that prevents athletes from becoming employees of their schools.

The bill’s main goal is to set national standards for NIL payments that are dominating the industry in the wake of the approval of a $2.78 billion lawsuit settlement that allows schools to pay athletes.

It also includes a section that purports to protect Olympic programs that some see as threatened because of increased funding that will go to football and basketball. That part calls on schools with at least one coach who earns more than $250,000 to offer at least 16 sports programs. That language mirrors a rule already in effect for NCAA’s top-tier FBS schools.

Geez! Is it really that much??

[RedTails]

Yes, athletic fee is more than half the cost of their base tuition.
