@VintageHusker @dubv01 @CoachJFreeman86 Nothing is stopping a mid major from producing a benefactor with deep pockets and building a competitive team. IU football was worse than a high level mid major, but then walked in Mark Cuban.

@leemitchell38 @dubv01 @CoachJFreeman86 Every single mid major is dead. Teams that have money will win going forward, some aren’t the old blue bloods btw. Michigan has some of the most money and guess what happens? Oh they win. Shocker. Same with Indiana.

So how are college sports broken? For who? -for the the fans that can’t handle one of “their” players leaving? -because the athletes are getting paid? College sports are as good as ever. Ask Indiana if it is broken. A lot of pathetic “get off my lawn” hypocrites.

@dubv01 @CoachJFreeman86 Like who? IU could have never won a National Championship under the old system. They were the worst College Football in history like 3 years ago.

@leemitchell38 @CoachJFreeman86 There were more that could do it before….

@ChflChuck @dubv01 @CoachJFreeman86 Zero, if the the opposite has happened. See Indiana football and Text Tech softball.

@dubv01 @CoachJFreeman86 So which of the schools that done have a chance now, had one before.

@dubv01 @CoachJFreeman86 Right cause sooo many schools had a chance before NIL. NIL and transfers have leveled the playing field and that’s the Nick Saban’s of the world are upset.

@CoachJFreeman86 Of course Indiana thinks college sports is fine. They’re one of the haves but the realism of the matter is this…. Unless your school is able to build a 40M roster in football and at least a 20M dollar roster in basketball you can’t win. Too many schools have zero chance now.

@Bamaboy_89 @Fiizop What mess?

@Fiizop Jay ain’t fried nobody, he is a major reason why we’re in this mess

Jay fried them

@MSCpilates @heitner @JayBilas Let them transfer as much as the want, earn as much as they can, and then earn a degree after you finish playing sports.

@heitner @JayBilas I don’t think anyway is saying athletes should not get paid. What is problematic is athletes transferring 3-4 times - impossible to get a degree that 95++% will actually need because they won’t go pro or will have a short lived career. And 25+ year olds in college, really?

Great points by @JayBilas. UNC is "tampering" with coaches under contract. The NCAA isn't busy creating policies to limit that conduct. But it's not OK for players under contract to communicate with third parties because they may benefit? Schools complain about finances, but are on the hook to pay fired coaches tens of millions of dollars. No one is begging Congress to cap coach compensation. But compensation to athletes must be capped? College sports "leaders" need to continue to be called out. For the "SAVE COLLEGE SPORTS" crowd, let's start talking about how much money those "leaders" are earning. Maybe their salaries should be capped, as well?

@AshForkStudios @heitner @trevormccue @JayBilas Y’all are acting like the buyout is a penalty to the coach or paid buy the coach.

@heitner @trevormccue @JayBilas Jays a retard. He knows full well that a coach would need to be bought out in order to leave. When has there ever been a buyout for a player to leave?

@JustinPow15 @CollegeGameDay @JayBilas What is there to disagree with? It seem like everything he stated were facts?

@leemitchell38 @CollegeGameDay @JayBilas I just disagree with what he was saying. You agree with him. So, you and I disagree. That’s fine.

The College GameDay crew discuss the current state of college basketball.

@JustinPow15 @CollegeGameDay @JayBilas Jay Bilas was the smartest person on that desk and the only one making sense. You just don’t like what he as saying.

@CollegeGameDay This clip finally made me see why so many people don’t like Bilas. I’ve always been a fan. @JayBilas you are dead wrong and the arrogance is astounding.

@MSmith1883 @brianHcarter @WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas I am assuming the same guardrails for the student… gotta have the grade and actually be admitted to the school. You want special guardrails for the athlete that doesn’t apply to the other students.

@leemitchell38 @brianHcarter @WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas That is not true that students can transfer whenever they want to because you cannot transfer if your grades are not in line with the other school. ŴThere are guardrails for students to transfer and there should be guardrails for the athletes.

As @JayBilas correctly points out, there’s a lot of hypocrisy in college athletics right now. It’s only when athletes begin to get paid that it’s necessary to have a federal law to “save college sports.”

@justinbtw_ Republicans are the furthest thing from anti big- government. They are only for small government when it’s going to help someone they don’t like.

I thought the whole premise of being a Republican was being anti big government 😭

@MSmith1883 @brianHcarter @WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas Players are students and students can change schools every year if they want without any restrictions, plus they can get paid by any their Market Value. Why should this be any different?

Players are supposed to be students first and are not employees. If you have it like now then the students act like employees with NIL contracts! You saw this take place at Duke. Jay advocates for that and for him to saying hypocrisy by the administration when he wanted anarchy. Only when someone calls for guardrails does he care.

@brianHcarter @WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas Y not? Coaches can leave every year, why not players?

@WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas It’s not the money. Let em make money but we shouldn’t have free agency every year with kids playing for 4-5 different teams. Come on @JayBilas

@Caraway6 The only people advocating for restricting player transfers and compensation are the people who stand to benefit from it.

I’m getting tired of hearing the loudest opposition to guardrails in college sports come from media personalities, lawyers, and “agents” Let’s be honest about what’s really going on. A structured system doesn’t eliminate athlete compensation. Players are still going to get paid. What it does is reduce the chaos, and with that, it reduces the opportunity for people who benefit from a system with no rules. Right now, the ones pushing hardest against guardrails are often the ones with the most to lose if structure is introduced. Meanwhile, fans are being asked to keep footing the bill while the system gets more unstable by the year. This executive action isn’t the final answer. It’s not meant to be. It’s a signal that something has to change. If you think this gets fixed overnight with the stroke of a pen, you’re missing the point entirely. @NILnotNLI

@WAServers @GuntherEagleman “Greedy players” who are actually doing the hard work.

@GuntherEagleman Activist judges and greedy players will sue. They can't leave it alone when this fixes things.

🚨 President Trump just signed a MASSIVE Executive Order to CLEAN UP college sports! • ONE transfer only (no more portal chaos) • Max 5 seasons in a 5-year window • Schools that don’t comply lose federal funding

@GuntherEagleman Yall think it’s a good thing that government can limit how much money a player can make in the free market?

@SR1CH2 @jasoncochran6 @GuntherEagleman Y’all want it to happen cause yall want that school to have control and the student athlete. It’s pretty simple.

@jasoncochran6 @GuntherEagleman I think you fail to see the bigger picture as to why we’re all wanting this to happen.

@kingpats101 @AdamSchefter What Dub? Controlling where athletes can play ball but not the adults?

@AdamSchefter Thank god . Regardless if you love him or hate him or think he shouldn’t worry about this and focus on other things ……… this is a good thing let’s just take the W

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday designed to limit how long athletes can play college sports and how often they can transfer between schools. More via ESPN’s Dan Murphy: espn.com/college-sports…

@USronaldcarter So every briefing since 1993 said that Iran would have a nuclear weapon in 4 weeks?

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently. "Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting." Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs. He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%. He chose to act knowing his own base would split. He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help. He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike. A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage." Read that again. Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
