There is no way this will work out to favor private schools like Miami and USC. If anything it will be used to crush those programs. The entire BCS era has been aimed at the big state schools regaining the control and dominance of college football they had before THE U turned the world upside down. Do you think it is a accident the USC and Miami have been raped by ncaa while the big state schools have gotten kisses and pats on the hands the last 10 years. Reggie Bush/USC against Cam Newton/Alburn -- come on. Newton/alburn arguably a much worse violation caught while kid still in school and what, 20 minute suspension? We had kids loss games for a couple hundred dollars, Cam got part of a day for 180k. Lets not even talk about old Johnnie. Nothing good will come out of this for Miami.
Exactly! Look at the State of Florida on the academic side. Artificially low tuition coupled with easy to get "Bright Scholar" 'ships means UM is at a disadvantage in its own state. I laugh at people who complain about the academics focus and rigor of Miami. Remember, there is no Hurricane football, baseball, and basketball without the UNIVERSITY of Miami. You can't sell a 50K+ year school to parents unless you are providing their pride and joy with a MUCH BETTER education. Because a parent's value quotient is so skewed in Florida, over 50% of UMs undergrads are FROM OUT OF STATE!
Furthermore, the state institutions will deal with their respective state's public employee labor boards, only the private schools will have to deal with the NLRB. Do you really think the State Employee Relations Board of Ohio, for example, whose members are appointed by RINO OSUck grad Kasich, will rule against OSUck? Your dreaming...
As usual, the four letter's pundits are embracing it; they know that as long as they keep the conversation away from their misdeeds, they can keep making money.
