The problem with this is it just one more thing that will be

very difficult to unravel going forward if there is any slim hope left of figuring out a long term viable structure for all of college sports that is remotely fair equitable and universal. The network contracts and different state laws and fed labor laws, and antitrust are already pushing a bolder up a mountain. Add to that how to unravel for profit equity owners, which essentially what the investors will be is another headache imo.

RandomAsianGuy • 12/13/25 12:35 PM ET
