🏈 COIA working to limit coaching salaries

Picked this up from ibleedcrimsonred on my twitter feed, which links back to an article on the New York Times talking about how the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics has recommended 5 policy changes to reduce the costs of college sports...the big one - giving the NCAA exemption from antitrust litigation (remember what a Coach Calipari just said about the NCAA). I can't see the schools wanting the NCAA to have this amount of power.

Its four other recommendations were:

—To support the so-called "collegiate model" of sports and try to lessen the commercialism that has led to calls that athletes should be paid to play.


—To advocate for policies that will keep big football conferences inside the NCAA, which would allow for some oversight that would be missing if they splintered away.


—To increase efforts to respond to the "reputational risks" that the market-driven model of sports pose to U.S. higher education. This issue came to light, unflinchingly, in the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State, which had its reputation sullied because of problems originating in the football program.


—To continue cooperating with the NCAA in trying to bring about changes, while remaining vigilant about NCAA efforts that place college sports over the academic missions of the schools themselves.

i don't see how those nitwits have nuff power to make any difference in what the ncaa does. the nc2a loves the money the big programs make for them

I can't see this being something that the Major Conferences are Championing. This sounds more like something that the little guys are aiming to project on the the successful programs/conferences...now that play on the field does not have anything to do with it.
