[QUOTE="Lincster27, post: 1787405, member: 748186"] I'm gonna stop you right there. In my previous higher ed career, I had to deal directly with the NCAA many times. Rest assured that the member schools do not consider themselves "The NCAA." There were very few staffers I dealt with in Indianapolis whom I would consider first-rate administrators. This is evidenced by their failure to lead the way on NIL, thereby leaving the inmates to set the rules of the asylum. I've never seen another organization that suffers from paralysis by analysis like the NCAA. According to their outdated amateurism model, students cannot be paid to play sports. Period. Along comes NIL, and the NCAA spent the bulk of its time and resources trying to figure out how to say that this isn't pay to play, when it clearly is. They should have been out front with rules for NIL, but they dithered so long that state legislatures finally said f*** it, we'll do it ourselves. At that point, the NCAA was neutered in the NIL game. I agree that they are probably dying for an NIL infraction case to come up so that they can assert their authority, such as it is. Their inability to adjudicate infractions cases in a timely manner (Kansas Bball), their slow response to anything new, and the thrashing they took in the Supreme Court (9-0 against) have all shown that the NCAA emperor has no clothes. The Power 5 conferences really don't give a damn what the NCAA thinks anymore, and the huge upraised middle finger Kansas sent their way by saying that Bill Self wouldn't be fired, even if the NCAA said he had to be, is just one example. The only reason to keep the NCAA around is the money they rake in and distribute to the member schools. Other than that, it serves little purpose. [/QUOTE]
