Watched some of it. Rice seems to want things the way that they were.
The transfer portal is good they just need to tighten up the rules. Kids should be able to transfer one time without having to sit out for any reason what soever or if their coach gets fired.
Can't do anything about NIL. NCAA had their head in the sands and got roasted at the supreme court. Very few limitations would survive judicial review. Stuff like prohibition on promoting porn, drugs, alcohol, tobacco etc are no brainers. Limiting apparel contracts if it is different from the school would stand. Anything else would be really difficult. Its here. Deal with it.
When the ACC Grant of rights is up in 2036 there is going to be a massive shift and there will be a new level of College sports of 40ish big time programs that go to there own thing. Possibly outside the NCAA. Possibly only a football league.
What they didn't really get into enough is the money football brings in. In the age of streaming live sports that bring eyeballs are really valuable to advertisers. The problem with college football is you only have 3 time slots on Saturdays that get attention. TV partners want match ups. Big 10 schools get 65 million a year but the only schools really drawing eyeballs are Michigan and Ohio State. Penn State, Iowa, Wisconsin do alright but then Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota, and Rutgers are also getting that.
How many people are making Purdue - Rutgers or Kentucky - Vanderbilt or NC State - Virginia Tech must watch football.
