Depending on how this goes, they won't be the last to try this. And if it does work, the NCAA is done for. Bankrupt.
Another NCAA Lawsuit
- Thread starter MidTennMtneer
- Start date
I think the most pissed person has to be Jeremy Bloom. I’m not sure how he lost his case. Had he won all this probably would have happened much sooner. Frankly that’s the moment the NCAA failed. It was very obvious he was not benefitting financially from his football endeavors and they had the audacity to prevent him from earning income in a completely different non-NCAA sport.
Instead of recognizing that as a watershed moment that maybe they should rethink the future they dug in using that case as a bedrock to keep up their amateur con. Literally all they had to do was establish a trust for players to be compensated after their playing time was over. But alas here we are.

Settlement looking like a bad idea right now. I wouldn’t want to hitch my wagon in any way right now with the ncaa. Let the NCAA take all the blame and sever all ties. Create new org and keep all future money. Let the ncaa rot and take all blame.
What’s really disappointing is that many guys like me who played say… in the 70’s (and prior) are walking, hobbling, around after multiple surgeries, concussions, broken bones, bad backs etc. but we didn’t and don’t expect a dime for our four years representing our schools and going on to play the sport we loved past high school. The hours current players since the early 2000’s put into practices, and offseason workouts are a fraction of what we put in. I know of a former Memphis player, who turned in Tommy West to the NCAA for making them practice past the allowed number of hours. And now they expect six figures to suit up. NIL and the Transfer Portal have really put a bad taste in my mouth about college football and basketball. No loyalty whatsoever from the majority of them.
So in other words it sounds to me like they are fully expecting schools to sue if the settlement is approved.
Regardless if they don't have to spend the $ for NIL, they still are going to lose part of their NCAA income.

Another one.
This wont end unless there is a CBA or the NCAA gets its anti-trust exemption from Congress.

as long as they keep trying to settle every thing, there will be groups that keep coming out the wood works, i'm waiting for the 70's, 80's, 90's football athletes to start looking for a quick payday, since they played with the worst equipment and practiced 3 times a day with no water.Another one.

In other words, the little guys....like us...are along for the ride. We have zero recourse without going after the NCAA directly, and no one is going to do that.
how are they a non class? They are D1 in all other sports a and FCS in football.
Non-class as in not part of the lawsuit. Only the Power conferences and the NCAA were named in the suit. So HCU nor any FCS/G5 were part of the suit class and have no merit to fight the settlement.
Which is ridiculous when it absolutely affects those schools.
If I remember my Dicken's, there a part from Oliver Twist that says the "the law is an ass"
here is another, I knew the FCS schools wouldn't sit back and just take it...

It's gonna wind up a huge class suit against the NCAA with multiple multiple schools challenging it all. I mean there are 64 G5s and over 100 FCS schools getting shafted. Not to mention the non-FB schools. And that is going to be a giant giant mess.
Notice Mit's second point....

Ahead of crucial House-NCAA hearing, leaders trying to establish new system to manage revenue sharing
While the eyes of the nation are focused on the high-profile college football matchups this weekend, there are even more important battles unfolding off it.

I see this going bad for the players as well. A kid thinks he's getting a four-year deal, but is not producing on the field, YOU'RE FIRED!
That will be the next major complaint from kids. Be careful what you wish for. Along the lines of kids thinking they are hot stuff and hit the portal after having one descent game and no one picks them up.

Kids have been encouraged to transfer and kids have entered thinking they’re something and not get picked up already. Both have been happening from the minute the portal was introduced
Yup. Won't end well at all.
There should be limits. It needs fixed.
If I were running the show, freshmen wouldn't be allowed to earn NIL. That's the key word. Earn. You earn your starting spot, you earn that payday in the NFL, you should earn that in college as well. This sign a high school kid to $2m with a leased Bentley just to keep him from your rival is ridiculous.
The judge did not give preliminary approval of the settlement and sent the lawyers back. She isn't happy with the proposed regulatory committee over NIL deals. Some legal experts are saying this could actually go to trial.

It sure does.
Many kids getting bad advice from friends and family who don't know squat.
It's getting crazy and there will be more. The rules have changed since then, move on.
It'll be that way until the NCAA gets an antitrust exemption. I dare say they are spending a few million more now lobbying after what the judge said last week.
Or if they go bankrupt first.

They could and may still do that but, it
a) doesn't abdicate them from the responsibility of being signatories to a body that completely failed it's mandate/mission. The NCAA single-handedly destroyed the premise of amateur athletics. In other words, the lawsuits would still persist; and
b) they're trying to avoid further anti-trust legal jeopardy by reaching this settlement (while simultaneously and audaciously sticking more of the burden of the costs as a percentage of revenue onto institutions with less resources). It's a have cake and eat too pile of crap the P4 is trying to force onto everyone. As usual.
No way, the rich and powerful trying to stick it to the little guy ? Never seen that before
They are all in cahoots against us anyway.
The NCAA spent almost $3m on lobbying in 2023. The Power conferences and NCAA combined have spent over $15m the last 5 years. SEC Sankey and B12 Yormark have both been to DC this year.
All that isn't being done for the benefit of the little guys for sure. It 100% is a what can you do for me meeting with the DC elites.

The funniest thing of all about this is everybody looking for a 'Fix' or thinking one will come from DC. There's reason there was a book written a few decades ago called Parliament of Whores. Theres been nothing to improve their reputations since then. All it is now is a protection racket where the problem or enforcers never goes away, but they sure take the money to promise they will go away.

He absolutely not wrong. At all. I've said for a while now the game needs someone like Chris Peterson running it all. Saban got out because of where the game is heading. He wouldnt be good for directing it into the future. Peterson is 12yrs younger and has been around a while and extremely successful and respected.
It for sure shouldn't be any of the current conference commissioners. No way.

Oh Mike. The rich and powerful are never going to cede an inch. Why would they?
They will continue to take and take and take and take until there is nothing left to take. That's what the rich and powerful do. They are the private equity (vultures) of CFB.
It's time to strip mine the sport. They do not care about parity, individual schools, fans, etc. They speak one language. Money.
The only recourse is a total withdraw of financial support. I proudly cancelled my cable subscription 6 years ago and will never pay another cent towards college athletics. I watch illegal streams online and do so proudly. With an adblocker, it's honestly easier to scroll through the games that way. Plus every single sporting event on the planet, from russian table tennis to cricket, mexican baseball, whatever....everything is available at my finger tips without having to search and shuffle around a bunch of different websites and services. For TV shows and movies, it is even easier. There's literally zero reason to give these assholes money anymore. Especially the $200/month that they demand for a good cable/internet package.
I do have ESPN+ for free because of my verizon subscription, which I feel bad about. I hate to see any money funneled towards Disney/ESPN. I'll probably be switching my cell service next spring to AT&T when I get their Fiber package.
