The NCAA and incompetance

[CloneSt8]

An Oklahoma lawyer who had part in the 1984 Supreme Court case that opened up television rights after the NCAA fought it. Interestingly the plaintiffs wanted a compromise that left the NCAA in charge of negotiating right but with more televised games. Now every conference negotiates for themselves.

Similarly the NCAA fought playing players until they lost and now we have the NIL wild wild west. Stupid leadership by the organization.

Hind sight is a bi tch isn't it. That being said this was probably coming down the pipe anyway.

There is no question the NCAA hosed up NIL but the article you linked doesn't mention the formation of the CFA which was separate from the NCAA and negotiated CFB TV rights on behalf of the conferences (post 1984) until Roy Kramer and the SEC split from the CFA (The B10 and PAC may have ben separate to some extent). While the court case that ruled against the NCAA was notable, the SEC splitting away from the CFA was just as notable.

There is no question that re-creation of the CFA along with rational reverse realignment back to 10 team regional conferences would be the best course of action for CFB financially and for the overall good of the sport.

The B10 and PAC were never part of the CFA and negotiated television contracts on their own. Notre Dame was the first to leave in 1991 when they signed an exclusive deal with NBC. The SEC and Big East both left in 1995 to sign with CBS.

People whine about the NCAA as if it's some mysterious force sending rules down from on high, instead of what it actually is: an organization given its power by its schools so they all have someone to pass the buck to on tough decisions like this.

Also, "incompetence" is spelled wrong.
