Courts have struck down NCAA rules limiting transfers, setting eligibility limits, and have allowed former professionals to return to the college game. Additionally, a player can now also bet on their own games. Sounds like a wonderful foundation for competitive amateur sports.

For years, we were told rising insurance costs were inevitable.
Florida chose to address one real driver: excessive litigation and the incentives behind it.
Sometimes doing right means standing up to special interests that benefit from the status quo

Freedom isn’t secured by strong leaders.
It’s secured by citizens willing to govern themselves.
If we step back, someone else steps in.

Listening is essential.
But governing requires judgment.
Why strong institutions—not the loudest voices—must guide a free society.

Federalism is praised when it restrains others—and abandoned when it restrains us.
A doctrine invoked only in opposition is not a principle. It’s a convenience.

The problem is clear: 33 public colleges and universities, another 20-plus private institutions, serving a state of 5.4 million people. That’s too many schools and far too much program redundancy.
