It's hard to imagine how the NCAA could have done a worse job handling the transition to the NIL era, but now The Powers That Be want to get the genie back in the bottle.
The NCAA does some things very well. Putting on a season-ending basketball tournament that is the focus of the nation for a few weeks every spring jumps to mind as a relevant example.
But when it comes to many of the things one might expect the governing body of college sports to do well, the Association comes up just a wee bit short. Take, as case in point, the transition to the NIL era in college sports: it's been an utter disaster from a governance standpoint. After spending the better part of the era's first year doing nothing of substance aside from convening a blue-ribbon panel, the NCAA finally realized that things have gotten out of hand with schools and supports doing their level best to weaponize their ability to land coveted players real adult money legally.
And with that realization, they want to put the proverbial genie back in the bottle by putting out some super-vague references to existing bylaws and rules related to boosters and recruiting violations. But – and this is a really big but – it is utterly unclear as to what kind of enforcement of these existing rules is realistically possible. With no subpoena power, the organization is more or less relegated to hoping member schools will do the right thing, and if they don't, that they'll tattle on themselves.After we bask in the glow of the conflagration that is the current NCAA, we'll have an extended Ask Us Anything segment this week.
