I’d say 65 to 70%of this bill is exactly what’s needed and much credit to
@sabanfaux for taking the time to deliver accordingly. The part that’s problematic and will likely upset the
@SEC &
@bigten is when it comes to enforcement not being theirs, but written into the bill.
@SenTedCruz admittedly allowed
@SenatorCantwell to write that portion of the bill, and to get the bill thru that was imo a good idea. However we shouldn’t be surprised that the
@SEC &
@bigten are against that aspect of the bill. Here’s the conundrum tho, if ya want to govern and enforce rules yourself but need the antitrust exemptions to get CFB where it needs to be? Ya gotta give up something? If they get the 60 votes and Cruz believes he can find them, he and his handful of Democrats will give them what’s needed for guard rails, but it’ll mean what
@GregSankey always said, “we need congressional help” for years will be another quote that meant very little in the end.
Nick Saban, discussing collectives, outlines what Alabama was working with
Says he had $2.7 million in his first year of NIL, then $7 million, and then $10 million.
After he retired, he said it jumped to $17 million, then $24 million.
