Editorial suggesting the first thought shouldn't be expanding the playoff, but earmarking the money for "athlete health, safety and education."
"...The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, an independent group on which we serve, recently proposed a new framework, Connecting Athletics Revenues with the Educational Model of College Sports (C.A.R.E. model) that would be a good start towards reform. The model would require that the College Football Playoff earmark money for athlete health, safety and education. And it would mandate much-needed financial transparency by requiring disclosure and would include athletes in independent oversight of the College Football Playoff.
Division I leaders understand that the incentives and spending of more than $3 billion of total shared revenues among FBS schools must be overhauled. That’s why 21 coaches’ associations, representing more than 30 men’s and women’s college sports and more than 84,000 Division I athletes, have already endorsed the C.A.R.E. proposal...."
its a big rant against the escalating coaches salaries. My first thought reading it was that it was politicians ranting against exploited labor since they provide no legal or economic way to control coaches salaries as the NCAA already got slapped down by the courts when they tried to limit asst. coaches salaries. But this is a former Sec. of Education and Division I basketball player along with a former Tennessee football player. Both are on the Knight commission and want the NCAA to have more control.
It just struck me that the end of the NCAA is near when you have these positions that want to tell the P5 what to do that seems such a contrast from what the P5 want. There seems to be a total disconnect between the two worldviews. They're on different planets.
