Proud to march today with students from UNCG, NC A&T, and Bennett. Despite having their on-campus polling sites removed, they walked 30–40 minutes to cast their ballots. This is what democracy looks like. Don't let anyone take away your choice. Your voice is your power. Go VOTE!

This whole thing has become comical. The NCAA couldn’t have mismanaged this eligibility rule change worse. They screwed over the high school class of 2022. It would be an easy fix to right the wrong, but they won’t, and they are portraying the victims of their wrong doing as villains. I’m not sure if this is theatre in an attempt to show congress that they need an antitrust exemption, or incompetence. Either way, it’s exhausting.
Memo from NCAA president Charlie Baker to members school is attached.

From @TheAthletic: The memory of Kobe Bryant's death lingers as LeBron James uses helicopters to get to 76ers practices. "Somewhere below, on a thousand glowing phones, strangers were begging him," our columnist writes. "Take the car. Please. Why risk it?" nyti.ms/4y2oc82

Again: If you believe that coaches are infinitely more valuable, then you should believe they both sides deserve access to the free market.
“Different markets” is a tell that you think one party’s wages should be suppressed and one should not.
Does Mina believe even Saban's greatest and most popular player, (whoever that was, college players begin to fade after just a couple of years in the NFL or wherever else), was worth even 1% of what Saban was worth to that university over 18 years?
Is the implication here that guys who come in and lift weights, practice and play, and go to class (the smart ones do b/c they know the NFL is a long shot at best), are worth as much as the man who runs the program
It's not even the same world. Saban is right, they are totally different markets
Btw, access to a legitimate NIL marketplace is the free market. Share some revenue on top of that and it's a fair deal
Captain Petty to the rescue!
Cory Booker's amendment implements restrictions on coaches that mirror the bill's athlete limitations, sources tell @YahooSports: (1) requiring them to sit a season for 2nd job move; (2) subjecting their NIL deals to NIL Go; (3) salary cap of $5M; (4) buyout cap of 1 year salary.

This week, PCSA co-sponsor Maria Cantwell (D) issued a report on "runaway expenses" in college athletics from 2005-23.
But her bill only caps one type of expense -- rev-share $$ with athletes -- that wasn't even a thing yet until 2025.
