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

This article with these statements is largely geared towards killing the PCSA by getting the other relevant ACC schools to lobby the House to amend the bill, which likely causes it to die. It spooks “Virginia Tech” or whatever to feel like they might get left behind sooner than they might otherwise have expected.

I disagree. And I think several other schools are thinking about going the same route depending on how this legislation shakes out. If that happens, you may actually see momentum the other way, with some schools leaving the P2.

that would be awesome and make it viable.. but you would need teams to leave the P2..

but if they're getting $100mil a year checks just for being in the P2, why would they leave?

Not that I’m expecting it to happen but as a college football fan it would be hilarious if the outcome of all this were to be the fractionalization of the P2.

The money would need to be better in the long run first and foremost obviously, but there’s always the ancillary reasons (geography/travel, grievances with existing situations etc)

secondary to financial concerns of course, my question when conference expansion took off has always been “how long is ‘Big Program Brand X’ going to be happy losing 4 or more games every year”

SEC will look a whole lot better, institutional profile-wise, when UNC, UVA, Duke and Georgia Tech come aboard.

The B1G geography problem will only get worse as it pertains to an outlier location like Miami

This is the first time someone at UM has spoken publicly about this situation without total ambiguity.

I’m glad he is putting this out there.

I know it’s a wet dream but could you imagine going independent and striking a deal with Amazon to stream the games.
