Protect College Sports Act [formerly “SCORE Act” thread]

[NicKane]

I really think this is the last gasp of a desperate, diminutive NCAA...

Good, because death follows the last gasp and that’s where the NCAA needs to go, in the ground.

So where does UM jump? Big XII?

Im of the opinion that the SEC will take Ga Tech, FSU, & Clemson (to match up w/their games w/UGA, UF, & South Carolina respectively).

The Big Ten takes ND. That puts both of those conferences at 19. (What a strange ******* number. A prime number. Why?).

(Im new to this topic.)

It’s not passing, so you don’t have to worry about that 19 team conference business anymore OK. The thing is dead in the house, if it even actually gets voted on which I very much doubt it will.

Anyone who thinks we’ll be able to sue our way out of this is just wrong.

If this bill becomes law Miami is pretty much finished for good. We’ll still field a team, but we’ll be back to Golden/Shannon/Diaz levels permanently.

The current admin is doing a great job but the previous one (Shalala) screwed us so bad with the lack of investment and the conference alignment that we are where we are now.

We need some luck on our side.

Luckily for us, it’s not going to become Law.

Believe that is a PROPOSED AMENDMENT by Moody that didn't make it into the actual final bill. So if any school wants to sign binding conference transfer agreements with a P2 conference they will need to have all paper work done BEFORE the bill (if approved by Congress) is signed into law by the president.

We can’t breathe a sign of relief until this thing is formally dead and the next reiteration is dead and so on and so forth. We need a good contingency plan.

Agree, I just emailed my congressman here in Florida and I recommend every single one of us do the same thing and don’t wait, do it today. It literally takes five minutes, there’s no excuse not to do it.

The contingency plan is the President of the University of Miami. You can bet there have been in depth discussions with the B10 and the back up plan is ... if this absurd law passes both senate and house Miami and the B10 will be announcing that they have agreed to take Miami as a new member effective June 1, 2028 as a full share member and all documents have been signed.
