The downfall of Swim and Dive through a captain’s eyes mustangnews.net/the-downfall-o… #HouseVsNcaa

Saving College Sports really isn’t that complicated, and it isn’t a partisan issue - It all comes down to basic common business sense. Unfortunately, we need Federal legislation to get it done, and Washington can complicate a bowling ball!! Americans want us to come together and find a solution!!

"I helped to start the NIL collective at Texas Tech and now I'm the chairman there.. At first I was just trying to help Texas Tech but then as I got into it I saw how fundamentally broken the college sports system was.. We're trying to find a solution that will comprehensively stabilize the system and make it sustainable for the long run" ~ @CodyC64 #PMSLive

The SCORE Act was pulled from consideration because it simply didn’t have the votes, a clear sign that Members on both sides saw it for what it was: a gift to the NCAA and Power Two conferences at the expense of athletes. This bill would have imposed new restrictions on athletes while doing nothing to address the real instability in college athletics. It ignored the coaching carousel, the erosion of women’s and Olympic sports, and the mounting financial deficits putting small and mid-sized programs and HBCUs at risk. Calling this a solution to the challenges facing college sports was always a stretch, and pulling it from the floor only confirms how unbalanced it was. It’s time for Republicans to return to the negotiating table. Dozens of Democrats who support a bipartisan path forward outlined in my College Athletics Reform Act stand ready to work in good faith on durable reforms that strengthen athletes’ rights, support all schools, and secure the future of college sports.

Thank you seniors 👍

@DanielLibit @Sportico Let’s put all of the burden on the women to have to sue their universities. It’ll only take four years (as was the case Fresno State Women’s lacrosse). Sounds like a reasonable solution. 🤦‍♀️ courthousenews.com/judge-backs-ti…

NEW: U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken rejected latest objectors’ motions, keeping House v. NCAA settlement intact unless the Ninth Circuit intervenes. In Thursday’s order, she again said Title IX objections should be raised elsewhere. For @Sportico👇 sportico.com/leagues/colleg…

NEW for @Sportico: Gracelyn Laudermilch—who stole the show at April’s first House v. NCAA fairness hearing—will (virtually) return to Judge Wilken’s courtroom for Thursday’s second hearing. Why the @Liberty_XCTF runner is still objecting to settlement: sportico.com/leagues/colleg…

Yesterday was the deadline for incoming student-athletes to object to the House settlement’s new framework. Additional letters were posted today from athletes impacted by Cal Poly’s decision to cut its swim and dive programs due to the settlement. Far too little has been done to support athletes whose opportunities were taken away through program eliminations.

Former Cal Poly Swimmers, Divers & Commits Object To House Settlement Citing Lost Scholarships swimswam.com/former-cal-pol…

Interesting letter was submitted to Judge Wilken concerning a swimmer who lost her scholarship at Cal Poly after the school axed the entire swim and dive program. The letter includes email correspondence with Jeffrey Kessler who says the House settlement's scholarship protections cover athletes who are cut due to roster limits--but not when the school cuts the entire program. Also interesting is Kessler's claim that Cal Poly is merely using the settlement as an excuse for cutting the team. Full letter here - drive.google.com/file/d/1yzA_O9…

Don Oberhelman turned down millions (at least $9 million) in fundraising on the way out the door, and is hoping that his $250k gift will make everyone forget that.
