# | Tim Sands: "Power 4 Leaders Must Act Before College Athletics Becomes Unsustainable" Maybe I don't see all the other moving parts from a person outside looking in, but to me, the fixes seem pretty straightforward...
- Salary cap of some kind for NIL to help even the playing field, and no it won't ever be perfect as some teams will have more money to dish out compared to small schools, and obviously you need some type of governing body for oversight and harsh penalties to keep/punish teams from trying to do under the table deals/cheat the system (again, I know it will still happen in many cases, never a perfect system)
- Number of transfer restrictions (for example - can only transfer after you stay at least 2 years with team you sign with unless coach you signed under leaves for another school. Maybe 1 more transfer after that and possibly a grad transfer)
I am sure there's other things that could be added to the list, but I think those are good starts to ring in this wild wild west we have in college sports (mainly football and basketball).
yep

Had some bright flashes, but I don't think he really lived up to the hype - whether that hype was fair or unfair, that's a different discussion

Put all our resources into football.

# | Tim Sands: "Power 4 Leaders Must Act Before College Athletics Becomes Unsustainable" I wouldn't even say they are professional teams as those players are under contract for multiple years. Yes they can get traded but I haven't seen a professional team turn a roster over through trades/free agency like CFB teams have done the past couple years.

# | Tim Sands: "Power 4 Leaders Must Act Before College Athletics Becomes Unsustainable" This. These are professional teams wearing university colors. I still enjoy it most of the time, might not in a few years, who knows?

# | Tim Sands: "Power 4 Leaders Must Act Before College Athletics Becomes Unsustainable" The result may very well be implosion of the business model, when fans no longer identify with the associated teams with their transient mercenary rosters
This fan is already at this position. I don't care about recruiting anymore as it is always in flux. I don't know who is on the team and playing till the first game of the season. I have no idea who will be here next year to see develop into a better player. All I care about is the games we play and then sometimes I don't care about those either.

# | Tim Sands: "Power 4 Leaders Must Act Before College Athletics Becomes Unsustainable" I'm looking forward to reading the whole piece, but I really appreciate the quote at the end of OP
Presidents and chancellors are far from powerless, and with that power comes responsibility to act—the sooner, the better.
It's about time that the schools (a.k.a. their leadership) take accountability. The NCAA is nothing but a collection of member institutions. Since 1984, they've lost court case after court case and just shrugged their shoulders. For 40 years, they've chosen to be reactive instead of proactive.
If they want to inspire change instead of being forced to change, then they need to take an action beyond hoping and praying that a lawsuit will land in the hands of the right judge.

Fired from LSU for recruiting cheating and now hired back because it is fine to do the same thing now. The state of college athletics sucks.

# | Tim Sands: "Power 4 Leaders Must Act Before College Athletics Becomes Unsustainable" From what I'm hearing, the $EC and B1G are in DC lobbying to change Title IX...and remove football and basketball. In addition, they are working on a collective bargaining deal so they would become their own league. This is already killing college sports, so coming out now is late to the party.
I see it as having a decision. Either mortgage everything to maintain a .500 level with the big dogs that will dump gobs of money into football and basketball, or retreat back a tad, understand there is an entire university to operate with 30,000 other students (and other athletes) on campus, and be happy with a regional schedule. How things have been are not going to be how they look in 5 years. Or less.
We simply don't have the donors, atmosphere, tradition of pulling big donations to allow us to run with the $25million teams/year out there. I mean it took 5 years of seeing this in order to come to terms that it's actually happening and we're falling behind.
She and Neo were very similar, hers just went farther downhill. Three good games, then it was 4 or less points in every game after those three.
She scored 71 points on the season. 34 were from the first three games.
I think it was the at syracuse game on January 8th.

# | CBB Portal Season - Hokies Outgoing and Incoming Transfers What game was the kick?
I want to blame the kick in the face, but I think she was slumping before it.
Not all that surprising.
Played 5 less mpg, shot 9% lower from floor (still shot better than Carleigh 35.7%vs33.3%) and 10% higher than Wenzel inside, shot 10% lower from 3p from last season(15.8%), 2 less ppg.
Rebounds stayed the same though.
After whatever happened to her face, it was not the same player out there.
But those are both illegal under US labor/antitrust laws. The only reason other leagues have been able to do this is because of collective bargaining and congress passing laws.
