[Red Five]

Anyone remember when Jim Delaney said the B1G would have to move to D3 if the players started making money?

It's sort of interesting that this is an attempt to get Congress to keep collegiate athletes from being designated as employees. I don't know if any of the legislation being proposed will happen fast enough to prevent the Supreme Court from upending their plans over night.

It's certainly the wild west right now for college athletes.

This will continue to be the case until the top schools stop trying to keep CFB from becoming a true minor league with a CBA.

While NCAA leadership has been awful, truthfully I don't what could've been done to stop CFB from heading this direction whether or not different decisions had been made sooner. All it would've taken is for one player to 'want more and sue', and CFB would likely be in this same spot.
