Message: [QUOTE="Grad1990, post: 3313884, member: 7865"] Thanks for posting this. My observation? The NCAA immediately recognized the serious threat the California law poses to the NCAA protecting the billions earned by schools at the expense of student athletes in Big time sports. The NCAA will lose this battle in a big way as the courts, and ultimately the remaining states, will never allow California schools to be disenfranchised by NCAA policies, especially considering that they have no legislative authority and have public opinion (freedom/fairness) ) against them. Can anyone imagine top athletes attending only California schools if, in fact, California is annexed from the NCAA? This serious flaw in rationality makes the NCAA's position an adventure in silly land. Most top student athletes will chase the money because it is the rational thing to do. In the process the NCAA would be further exposed for what they really are...a lobbying body representing educational institutions which, surely, will damage its credibility. My guess is that NCAA leadership is too smart to defend what is ultimately indefensible. Therefor, I think they will eventually get out of the way and do what they can to control, as best they can, the outcomes. The NCAA will still have a major role...but disenfranchising top student athletes will no longer be one of them. [/QUOTE]
