New NCAA Governance

[THEsocalledfan]

Obviously they're terrified of anything with a wiff of employer-employee about it, though it's only a matter of time before that facade comes down no matter what they do about cost of attendance.

Audit, one issue that is being completely overlooked by the press on this was that it was the NLRB that decided there is an employee/employer relationship which is what led to the Northwestern vote. However, I'd think that ruling is potentially null and void since Obama just lost his Supreme Court case on NLRB appointees. Good chance decisions made by his recess appointees are struck down.

Interesting to see where this goes; I don't really know what to think of all this.

The initial decision on Northwestern's players unionizing was made at the regional level. The national board is still soliciting briefs, they haven't heard the case yet so the Supreme Court ruling doesn't affect it. In any event the expectation is that nearly all of the rulings made while the recess appointees were on the board will be upheld by the new board membership.

I agree on that as the Senate changed the confirmation rules. I was not aware it was a regional decision. Thank you for that info; it would be nice if reporters would fill in that level of detail.

Bill Snyder nails it....

Bill Snyder was planning to talk about Kansas State's upcoming season Wednesday, but instead took the opportunity to criticize college athletics and says universities have "sold out."

According to the Associated Press, the 74-year-old Snyder said, "We're all about dollars and cents. The concept of college football no longer has any bearing on the quality of the person, the quality of students. Universities are selling themselves out."

Snyder, who has won 178 games in 22 seasons as the Wildcats coach, said education has become a second thought.

"It's no longer about education," Snyder said. "We've sold out to the cameras over there, and TV has made its way, and I don't fault TV. I don't fault whoever broadcasts games. They have to make a living and that's what they do, but athletics -- that's it. It's sold out."
