NCAA Lunacy 😵‍💫 · KICKERSCAMP: Kicking Skool

NCAA Lunacy 😵‍💫

As kickers, we don't usually get to "enjoy" the spoils of the NCAA's NIL money grab. We often stand on the sidelines, like we do, and wait for our time to shine. And that's a-OK. I write this to simply let you know that at the highest level of play (P4-D1), it's now just a free-for-all. Congress can't get a bill into law to curtail some of the madness, and the NCAA doesn't seem to want to roll-up it's sleeves and get some law and order in place.

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.... unless you have some help.

I can help provide some guidance. DM me.

After a Texas judge blasted a hole Monday in the one NCAA rule everyone seems to agree needs to be on the books (don't bet on your own team), NCAA president Charlie Baker begged Congress to pass a bill Baker didn't fully support as recently as last week.

Unfortunately for Baker, the bill probably won't pass. Even if it did, it wouldn't help avoid decisions like the one Judge Ken Curry released Monday.

Thanks to an injunction granted by Curry, Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby will be allowed to play in 2026 even though Sorsby has admitted to violating the NCAA's gambling rules multiple times and, more specifically, admitted to betting on Indiana football while a member of Indiana’s football team in 2022 and 2023.

This feels like a tipping point.

Lots of NCAA rules are controversial. This one is not. It has a 100 percent approval rating outside Lubbock, Texas. If you can't enforce this rule, you can't reasonably expect to enforce any rules.

The question now is whether the presidents and commissioners who run the sport will finally give up on the pipe dream of getting bailed out by Congress and start doing the work required to actually fix the mess they've made.

The next step should be obvious: It's time to collectively bargain with the players.
