Supreme Court / Congress will need to get involved in the NCAA before 2026 season.

States like Mississippi are going to use local judges to over-ride NCAA rulings.
Entire conferences like the B1G are using anti-trust tactics to basically force student athletes to give up their rights for NIL contracts.
Schools are literally having or near having actual entire positions that are not filled prior to next season starting.
Athletes are entering portal, not getting picked up, and not having a scholarship
- which, even if you agree with this, Coaches are using the portal for themselves to cut athletes, and this is what people dont want to discuss. Coaches are literally telling athletes to enter the portal, and essentially forcing them too.
Every single direction you look at this, its complete chaos. The Ole Miss and Chambliss thing... will be a precedent. The Williams thing - which I understand the optics of him signing a contract, but to have the conference comissioner jump in on that... and all the schools using the same contract, when they are supposed to be competitors.. is a bad, bad look.
Finally, look at the SEC and southern schools essentially devouring themselves fighting for these top athletes. You see it a little, but no where near as bad in the B1G -- and I think that's because of this contract they are using.

Can't the NCAA simply appeal some Ole Miss alumni judge's decision to a higher court?

They are a bit occupied with other things at the moment.

Yep, Congress will fix it…with their stellar track record and all.

Not happening. There will be chaos for a couple of years until fundamental changes are made. Honestly, if it all just fell apart and they cancelled the season, I’m not sure I would care.

They already did this annually.

So you're a big fan of Daddy Government huh?

You think the Supreme Court or Congress can get organized enough to do anything before August? No way.

People don’t understand how bad it was on the player’s side.
While revenues were pouting in scholarships were capped at 85 and were for only one year. Schools would sign 25-30 HS players knowing they would process some.
Kidd couldn’t transfer to another school and play. The rules made them sit out a year even if they were processed.
Now the pendulum has swung the other way. It’s gone way too far in my opinion, but only because the NCAA and its members were forced to change by the courts.

Yeah, my brother said the same thing as the original poster about the MS court. And I gave the same response you did. That is a waste of time for the Mississippi court to rule. It will go on appeal to ANOTHER court NOT in Mississippi even if Chambliss wins initially. Ole Miss is wasting their time. Chambliss is DONE at Ole Miss....period!

Anybody who believes chambliss case will effect anything is ridiculous. This is a charade. The guy has been in football for 5 years. He is trying to utilize a medical redshirt from a year in which he was on the bench for tonsillitis. His own school is not backing his medical claims. This dude has no shot.
Did I mention the medical redshirt application is 4 years ago?

Agree, when was last time they fixed anything, better at breaking things, paying orgs to do less and debating or studying things. Without executive orders we have nothing accomplished.
And our courts are becoming a joke!

Also concerns me that B1G is bringing in private equity and tipping the money table. Doesnt smell right

Yeah... and as much of a Cinderella story as indiana is... its just the beginning of 23+ year old avg starter ages... like that should be an exception not the rule. Thats literally semipro

Congress will find a way to implement DEI in the NIL.
Posted on 1/14/26 at 9:07 am to Ebridg3
Good luck with that. Coaches, Presidents, NCAA, etc have been urging Congress to act on college athletics for years without action.
The courts have consistently sided with the players.
It's a mess largely created by the NCAA and the college presidents and athletic directors themselves.

So, yes, let's get the government involved in something else to totally frick up. Just need to get rid of the NCAA and set up a super-conference board to govern this craziness. NCAA will be gone by 2030 anyway.

Supreme Court decisions are part of what sent us down this road.
What, exactly, can Congress really do, other than granting colleges and the NCAA some antitrust exemptions that allow them to collude on what they pay players and limiting their mobility?
What happens when states pass laws that are contradictory to the NCAA rules or even the congressional mandates?
The NCAA, as a private organization, can enact rules that members need to follow, which could include all sorts of restrictions. The schools are those members, technically, not the players. Players would have to sign contracts agreeing to abide by those rules and the punishments if they don't.
The NCAA would also have to not allow schools to join or stay in if they are in states that pass laws that don't allow enforcement of the rules on the schools or players.
That is where it will get sticky, I think. States have seen that they can force the hand of the NCAA, and there are states with programs the NCAA is not willing to lose that have shown themselves willing to pass those laws.
