Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

U.S. Senate votes, 77-22, to pass Protect College Sports Act​

The federal bill aimed at reshaping the college sports industry took a major step toward becoming law Monday night when the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted, 77-22, to pass it.

The Protect College Sports Act moves next to the House of Representatives, where it will face some opposition from both sides of the political spectrum and a narrow window to garner support. House representatives are not scheduled to vote on any bills until after November's midterm elections. If it doesn't get through the House during a lame duck legislative session before a new Congress takes over in January, the full process would have to start from the beginning.

"This bill puts an end to the chaos plaguing college athletics," Ted Cruz said from the Senate floor Monday.

The bill provides the NCAA with an antitrust exemption designed to help the association enforce a cap on how much teams can pay their athletes as well as other rules that have deteriorated due to legal challenges in recent years. If the bill becomes law, athletes would be limited to transferring one time without penalty during their college career. It would reinforce new NCAA rules that limit athletes to a five-year window to compete in college that begins either when they finish high school or turn 19 years old.

"This puts and end to the chaos plaguing college athletics"

No, Ted, no it doesn't.

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

Now, that's leadership from Edmunds. Don't believe have heard of that since the Brew Crew took some players (down in FLA?) to visit a Buckeye commit or someone they wanted to join them up here...
They actually do this almost every year. There's usually a player who's family has the means to allow him to travel to other places to visit other commits. Or, commits will all convene at a player's house, usually a local commit, and then they all go to the game together. I know Jack Sawyer did that for his class. It helps that Edmunds has family in OH as well.

While Malik Willis hasn't been an overnight success in Miami, he's under contract for two more seasons and has been throwing to the NFL's worst receiving corps. That changes the second Smith steps on the field for the Dolphins. Smith has the kind of speed that even Willis can't overthrow and ball skills to fight through contact downfield for big plays.
In case you wondered:

Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, CJ Carr, LaNorris Sellers -- what do all four of those quarterbacks have in common? Well none of them appear in this mock draft because all of them have more years of eligibility. With Sayin and Carr I think physical development and mastery are needed for them to get drafted where they want to.

Philadelphia Eagles (official thread)


No he was either yelling at the DB that hit Hurts or the official that said Hurts had to go be evaluated.

Hurts was in the tent when he yelled that.
