🗓 One Week Out – And the Spin Continues…
We are officially one week away from the final deadline where the NCAA and Plaintiff attorneys must present a plan to incorporate some form of phase-in or grandfathering for student-athletes impacted by the House settlement.

And right on cue… here comes the spin. 🌀
 
📰 Yesterday’s Article — Yikes
A very telling piece dropped yesterday from Ross Dellenger at Yahoo Sports. In it, he quotes anonymous conversations with some Athletic Directors — and to be blunt, the tone is alarming and out of touch. Here’s the worst of it:

“If you have to bring back everybody you cut, that’s a disaster,” said one power conference athletic director.
“There are some sports still playing and they have made no cuts yet. So that’s not fair for the sports that did.”

Read that again.
So now we’re claiming it’s unfair that some sports haven’t cut kids yet? 🤯
As if the solution is to make sure everyone suffers equally?

This logic is upside down, and it’s a clear attempt to justify further cuts — not walk them back.

 
🧠 Don't Believe Everything You Read! Is This a Trial Balloon?
The timing of this article reeks of a calculated press leak — a way for NCAA lawyers to test public sentiment around a possible “voluntary” approach to grandfathering athletes.

Spoiler alert:
🚨 Nobody wants the voluntary approach. 🚨
Not the athletes, not the families, not the public.

Why? Because we’ve already seen what happens when the NCAA and schools are left to “do the right thing.”
They don’t.
They cut.
They spin.
They protect the budget — not the kids.

 ⚖️ Judge Wilken made it abundantly clear:
You must protect student-athletes who were cut — not maybe, not voluntarily, not if it’s convenient.
This isn't about what’s fair for sports that “already cut.” It’s about fixing a mess that schools, conferences, and the NCAA made by jumping the gun before the settlement was even approved.

And yes, it might cost more. 💰
Too bad.
You created this problem.
Now you pay to fix it.

💥 Enough Already
Everyone is tired of the excuses, the leaks, the spin, and the moral gymnastics.

We don’t need a compromise.
We need justice for the athletes who were cut.
That’s the only solution.

Your move, NCAA.
Make it count.
