"I think it's fair to say that there's a lot of support for the Protect College Sports Act but there isn't a vote yet.. Ted Cruz is highly confident that this bill can pass.. Last week SEC presidents & chancellors were talking about breaking away & creating their own rules" ~ @CFBHeather #PMSLive

Saban: I don't think this is bipartisan, I think it should be nonpartisan. It's that important in terms of college athletics, in terms of the future for young people.

ESPN has turned back the clock and produced a college football preview magazine. Couldn’t be happier. It’s nostalgic. Love poring through them before the season. @lindyssportsmag, too @AGWildcatReport

The good news: everyone wants to “fix” college athletics. The bad news: they’re probably gonna have to do it themselves. Which is … what they are paid handsomely to do. Run college sports.
