Could there be college sports with no restrictions in the future?
Judge issue TRO on NCAA
Transfer as many times as you wish
What is interesting about various suits filed by current and former NCAA athletes, against the NCAA, is they will eventually put the NCAA out of business. On the surface that sounds great, since the NCAA had ruled with an iron fist until the past few years( " the hell with the Bast.....s) However, with no NCAA rules there will be less opportunities for other athletes in the future. And while each case has some merit, if they all win their appeals against the NCAA, the NCAA will fold and eventually many schools will drop division 1 sports. They'll drop due to costs and potential liabilities, and soon lack of fan interest. Universities will start spending more on attorney's fees then they will for the entire budge in say crew or tennis, so why carry sports at the D1 Level? drop down and avoid the limelight. FCS and lower levels might get a lot bigger in the future, more teams moving down rather than up. And while these athletes are currently fighting for their rights, in the end the true student athlete that needed a scholarship, to obtain a college degree, will have a more difficult time finding one because of these suits.
And then there is this, I may not just boycott the SEC, I may boycott ESPN entirely. Disney is destroying college football.
ESPN to give SEC NFL treatment
