Braden Smith at #2 is something for sure
and Brock Harding who has scored 36 points in his Iowa career. Mom must be handing out jerseys for Christmas.
#5 Myles Colvin? #8 Mason Gillis? wth is going on here?
Purdue people doing their Christmas shopping. Seriously, Purdue fans buy massive amounts of gear - could be compensating for their IU inferiority complex.
Just glad some of that Purdue spending money is coming back to a CU based company
Rick Pitino complaining about the NCAA’s lack of enforcement power is rich!Pitino rips NCAA enforcement staff: 'It's a joke'
St. John's coach Rick Pitino says he believes the NCAA's enforcement arm is "of no value anymore" and should be "disbanded."www.espn.com
It's not clear that there is any restriction on player freedom the NCAA can get to stand up in court. The pro sports are able to exist in a controlled, rule-based environment because they have collective bargaining agreements to which courts are obliged to defer (in addition to antitrust exemptions in some cases).
Some version of that has to be where this is going.
which is all the more reason for the Power 2 to make an agreement without any interference from the other conferences & schools .Pitino rips NCAA enforcement staff: 'It's a joke'

I don't disagree, but won't the B1G/SEC alliance just creat a new version of . . . . The NCAA . . . which will quickly be sued once someone decides that life's not fair . . .
the power 2 need to quickly help establish a CBA with a new to be created student athlete group
Why would the Power 2 have any greater success in the courts than the NCAA?

Not sure if it’s relevant to this, but Dartmouth doesn’t provide athletic scholarships (i. e., compensation), right? Further, why would the NLRB ruling (as worded in the tweet) relate to only men’s basketball (and not other sports)?
the players will lose if they go against the universities. Look at the attendance for every other amateur athletics league that is not the NCAA. Without the draw of the university no one is watching a far inferior product to the professional ranks. They're certainly not going to pay hundreds of dollars for tickets, and won't sell out 100,000 person stadiums. They won't get paid even close to what they make in NIL. They won't get a free education on top of it all, and thousands of kids will lose the opportunity all together.
The NLRB has never met a case it couldn't decide in favor of "labor". It will be interesting to see if this ends up in a courtroom outside the very limited purview of labor courts, arguing that as the athletes are not "employees" of the university, then the NLRB has no jurisdiction. IANAL.
