Not surprisingly, the law the NCAA ignored for so many years has now come home to roost. When its institutional ashes are all that remains, the NCAA will be remembered as an organization that was destroyed by its leadership’s greatest enemies: ego, arrogance, and a stubborn unwillingness to change even in the face of inevitable self-destruction.

A new class-action lawsuit has been filed in California against the NCAA, power leagues and College Sports Commission, claiming the new NIL clearinghouse violates state statutes and federal laws and is a “conspiracy” to suppress athletes’ NIL earnings

I'm seeing exaggerated takes on the legal impact of a trial judge's ruling in Sorsby v. NCAA. This is not the 9th Circuit in O'Bannon v. NCAA, or SCOTUS in NCAA v. Alston. This case doesn't set precedent for other courts or athletes. It's a non-final order by a state court judge.
The Brendan Sorsby ruling is not a final order in his case (it’s an injunction) and governs one county in Texas. It doesn't require judges in other counties, let alone other states, to rule similarly in similar cases. It’s significant, but shouldn’t be overstated in legal impact.

This right here.
Who knows. Maybe it's just a matter of time before we see Brendan Sorsby v. Big Ten for tortious interference with contractual relations, group boycott, and insert other claims.
Brendan Sorsby is becoming the one‑man bar exam!

It's not just Manny though. Too many what you call Star MLB players having Bad Years, like really bad years. Too many to name a few Kyle $60 Mil Tucker, Dansby Swanson .180 BA., Gunnar Henderrson.222 BA, Eugenio Suarez .209 BA & 4 HR.Hit 49 last year. Batting in MLB taking hit.

Someone is going to lose their job with Manny Machado’s struggles:
He is now hitting .169 with a .596 OPS nearly halfway through the season as the Padres are in a free fall.

And here are some other guys I left out. Mike Trout in his big comeback year at age 34 batting .232, Mookie Betts .183, Cal Raleigh .161, Trea Turner last years NL Batting Champion .226, Vlad Guerrero avg ok but only 3 homers on pace for 8. Some weird bad batting going on MLB.

The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact to be selected. This is this first time that the Bears’ board has voted on any stadium site.
As one source said, “There is more work to do but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal.”
