Or more accurately at least 51 governments. Federal and state judges all over the country are making decisions about college sports. For all I know, municiple courts are weighing in. And a ton of appeals coursts are involved.
States have passed laws governing college sports. So has the Federal government. Title IX is just one example.
Meanwhile the NCAA and conferences are making rules, and no one knows if they will hold up in court, making for total uncertainty.
It's chaos.
Without action, expect lawsuits to be filed claiming that the NCAA should not be able to limit players to 5 years of eligibility. Any limits are a restriction on whether a player can earn a living.
Oh, and the requirement that the players be students? Expect that to be challenged in court, too. The whole basis of college sports is at risk.
You may like the status quo, but it isn't likely to stay that way. No one can predict where it is headed, but it isn't likely to look much like college sports anymore.
The market doesn't always sort things out very well. But that's a discussion for a different forum.
