Justice Dept. joins lawsuit against NCAA
The NCAA is now staring down a new legal opponent as the U.S. Department of Justice joined a lawsuit from several states on Thursday challenging NCAA transfer restrictions. At stake is whether the NCAA will be allowed to continue mandating that second-time undergraduate transfers sit out a season before participating in competition.

College football is broken can I don’t have the answers but I guarantee mgoblog has more than the federal government/congress

As it stands, the NCAA does not have that right.
Make a Division Zero, professional college league as a marketing vehicle for the schools that have the infrastructure necessary to create an NFL apprenticeship experience for the young players.
End of story.
Headed that way no matter what.

The chaos predicted below would seem to benefit a program that can build and maintain a coherent culture. If Harbaugh stays and the mercenary programs gut each other, the NIL era could work out for us. Maybe a long shot, but if we feel the downside, at least we should feel the upside of avoiding the fiery cauldron of NIL inducements.

I support players .. and understand the role of the academic institution.
This has gotten SO far out of hand. NIL in its original intent was fine with me. Revenue sharing if they can figure out a model is fine with me.
But, what commitment does the student athlete make to the institution? As best I can tell - there is no commitment beyond the current semester.

As much as I hate the NCAA, the Tranfer Portal and NIL will ruin college football. Start profit sharing with the players (in revenue sports) and end this madness or college sports will die a slow death.
