this has been talked about on almost every talk radio sports show. ESPNU guys saying we need a Czar to takeover and stop the chaos - which seems to mean the way player movement, transfers and recruiting are happening with $$$. most talk about we are going to need player contracts and salary cap (i.e. moving to compensating players as employees of the university or associated entity). Phil and Jed talked the same thing today.
it seems when anyone is talking about the role of the Czar they rattle off the things the NCAA was setup to do, but then they say the NCAA is dead and cannot do that or they will be sued. The suits against the NCAA have all been challenging them on their right to enforce using anti-trust law as the argument. Congress could solve that by giving the NCAA anti-trust immunity, and they could go back to enforcement, and players could still have NIL value/$$ outside of their university as NIL never was about the anti-trust argument. What is hard to understand is how can some new Czar (and their organization which would be substantial) enforce anything without getting the very same legal challenges the NCAA has been getting? Why create another expensive bureaucracy that will just hit the same legal challenges?
