P2 do not claim to be saving college fb. They are working to preserve the

position they have achieved. P4, G6 and any others can come along for the ride. I beliebe the P2 understand the value of having a larger universe of competitors. But they are at the top and they want to stay there. Selfish? Yes. Surprising? No. They will not allow others (Campbell/Cruz) to intervene. NIL was an earthquake. Sadly, college FB as a whole, did not adequately prepare themselves to deal with this. Saying that players can earn money for NIL does not mean the school must make them employees. Nor does it mean that schools should be permitted to simply bribe high schoolers to commit. A structure (CSC) was formed to regulate NIL to the extent that money being paid was in fact in exchange for a valid NIL purpose, and not just a bribe. Who knows if it is having any effect? The NCAA couldn't do it, of course. I think the CSC will fail, as well. But there will be a solution because the P2 need to get it fixed; they will. As for TT, although the "court" ordered them to restore Sorsby to the team, his status should be non-specified health leave. If he is allowed to rejoin the team, even as a bench player, the TT athletic program will cease to exist (after the legal smoke settles.) Has anyone asked his teammates how they view him? Unity could be fragile.
