The NCAA asking congress to do something may be like having Moe ask Larry and Curly to fix his issues

I've said it elsewhere, if you think it's screwed up now, just wait until these morons pass legislation or we end up with an EO on it.  

I'm reminded of the quote attributed to Milton Friedman "If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there’d be a shortage of sand."

The best way to fix it is for the schools (coaches and ADs specifically) to either blow up the NCAA or just drop their membership, and do it themselves

The NCAA is a spineless organization that has been pissing itself nonstop since it lost the suit that led to NIL.  They've never had the guts to truly enforce rules on the "blue bloods", even when its obvious.  

 

If anything, Moore is a target because iU football has exposed how broken the old system was because the playing field has leveled immensely and its no longer the pay under the table top dogs running the show. 

 

There's no way they have a case for appeal.  Moore fits the new 5-year rule.  He would have exhausted his eligibility according to the old rule last season, so therefore he fits the criteria to have been eligible this year. 

 

Burn the NCAA down.

@812jmac legally they have and everyone has the right to an appeal as long as there is a legal basis. They’re arguing that the case shouldn’t have been rendered moot. They’re may not win, but you can’t just appeal because you didn’t like the outcome.

The NCAA fumbled all of this with inaction. We all saw NIL coming a mile away and they didn’t put in guardrails.

Yep.  The FBS schools should just pull the plug and start over in revenue sports.  They've already neutered them when it comes to the CFP.  Take the basketball tournament in the same direction.  There has to be a way to transition all sports to another governing body over time.

@thehoosierhuddle so you're saying Pate might do the face slap or eye poke on the Donald? I'll tune in. 

If you haven't heard them, a couple of Pate's "apology" to Hoosiers have been pretty fun to listen too. After the Peach Bowl and NC games.

@tammany - agree. This is more about deterrence of future cases.

@thehoosierhuddle 

He reviews the Peach Bowl game and OR and then talks about Hoosier Nation starting around 9:30 and that's fun to listen to. :

 

Here's the clown nose IN apology, which is terrific:
