No conference has such a stark split among its haves & have-nots than the SEC.

So of course the league is deadlocked on a new scheduling model. They’ve narrowed 30+ formats to two: 8 game (1 permanent + 7 rotating) & 9 game (3 + 6).

.@SInow took a jab of the 3 permanents for each team using (1) traditional primary/secondary matchups and (2) an equitable philosophy the league has used in the past where top half teams play more top half & bottom play more bottom half. bit.ly/3PIp8JU

Two weeks since NCAA's NIL guidance, a solution to the “chaos” is distant.

Understaffed NCAA Enforcement is hard pressed to prove inducements & Congressional action is at least a year away.

DI Council expected to approve the elimination of initial counters this week, allowing coaches to sign unlimited players each year as long as they remain at/under the total 85 scholarship limit.

Why? Wrote about it three weeks ago.

Talked to Sandy Barbour, outgoing PSU AD, chair of D1 football oversight committee. Sounds like removal of initial counters (25) and transfer windows coming. "We all understand that there's a challenge here. There's that intersection of what needs to be done and what we can do."

Missouri will join Tennessee - and soon probably Louisiana - in amending its state NIL law to allow school staff members to have more involvement in NIL deals.

At many places, staff members are very much involved now (see the below story), but this further opens the door for them to assist in NIL deals and not be breaking state law. bit.ly/3KAdWen

As Stewart notes, there are antitrust issues with limiting a college athlete’s ability to freely transfer, especially when it’s done to prevent athletes from making money.

The transfer rule was just changed to address the antitrust concerns. It’s not going to be changed back.
