NFL voices support for "the voluntary pooling of media rights under the Sports Broadcasting Act" that B1G/SEC oppose in its current form

Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux

The two biggest conferences in college sports released a statement Tuesday saying they do not support the current version of a bipartisan bill designed to regulate an industry struggling for answers in a quickly changing era in which some players make millions.

The SEC and Big Ten conferences said the "bill leaves critical issues unresolved," including not "meaningfully" preempting state laws with a federal one, which has long been considered a key element for a measure to get support from the NCAA and the conferences.

In an interview last week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who drafted the bill with Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., told The Associated Press "the bill is drafted to preempt state laws that conflict with the provisions in this bill."

The bill, called the Protect College Sports Act, would provide the NCAA with an antitrust exemption to enforce several rules that have been recently challenged in court, including limiting transfers and athlete eligibility and prohibiting schools from poaching a coach during the season.

The SEC-Big Ten statement came out less than 24 hours before a scheduled hearing about the bill in front of the Senate Commerce Committee. Cruz chairs the panel and Cantwell is the ranking Democrat.

The legislation has received support from the Big 12 and ACC, but the Big Ten and SEC, as the two richest leagues that also have decision-making power over the future of the College Football Playoff, hold the biggest cards.

One of the bill's key provisions would give conferences an option to pool their media rights, an idea the Big Ten and SEC have long claimed would not result in a financial windfall that proponents suggest. The leagues' statement did not speak to that issue.

A spokesperson for the Commerce Committee acknowledged the Big Ten-SEC position.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

2028 PA WR Jett Harrison (Verbal Offer)

calibuck
That sounds way cool. I am also (anxiously) waiting to see how the WR play unfolds for the Buckeyes. With Sayin tossing the rock, and Jeremiah making acrobatic catches, looks solid. Hopefully Henry will seamlessly join the party, and Inness doing his thing as well. Now Tavian, you gotta up your game to step in this merry-go-round and keep it going. Go Bucks!

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

calibuck
I know a guy that knows a guy.....and wonder how a publicly traded company like Adidas, can funnel cash to a university to buy a player? Have been out of corporate america for several decades. Oh wait. I see race cars sporting companies, and golf pros sporting many/several logos on their shirts/bags etc. Will this RB have to wear an Adidas patch on his uni? Sorry folks, answered my own question. Guess the Buckeyes are going to have to get Nike sponsor some NIL bucks to compete. Anyone remember Roller Ball (original with James Caan) where corporations sponsored games? Kinda sounds like we're getting there, or are there.

Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

Hopefully, your scenario will lead to a break-out game for one of the new LBs, who will spy Manning all over the field, and send him to the whirl-pool to ease his black-and-blue body. If Manning is going to earn his Heisman hype, he'll have to start with the Buckeyes, and hopefully our DBs will be up to the coverage task, FORCING him to try to earn yards with his feet. Love the Buckeye 'coverage' sacks.

2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

ScriptOhio

Tiny Cape Verde, making its debut at the World Cup, pulled off a stunning upset to shut out heavily favored Spain in a 0-0 draw on Monday.

"This means everything for our country," Cape Verde coach Pedro Leitão Brito said.

"We have always said that we wanted everybody to see our country, our team and we have shown organization and braveness and this is proof of what our country is about - resilience and to try to overcome hardships."

Just sayin': Hey Cape Verde fans, how do you celebrate your 0-0 (i.e. draw) game with Spain?

"Hell, I don't know maybe we'll take home a couple goats for sex"
