Does the NCAA actually want to change their model??

Welcome back to the intersection of sports and the law! On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) is joined by Mike Lawson (⁠⁠@MikeSonofLaw⁠⁠) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is and Tarun Sharma (⁠@tksharmalaw⁠) to discuss the latest surrounding the NCAA.

FSU gets snubbed from the College Football Playoffs. (2:00) FSU had an undefeated season and was ranked 4th going into the conference championship season. However, they ultimately fell to 5th place and Alabama took over the 4th place following their upset over Georgia. Florida Senator Rick Scott sent a demand letter to the committee for texts, emails, notes, etc. regarding their decision to snub FSU. Governor Ron DeSantis also stated that the state budget would put aside $1M for a possible lawsuit for FSU being left out of the playoffs. We break down the potential lawsuits that may emerge and analyze the CFP selection committee's decision to drop FSU.

During halftime of the Texas v. Oklahoma State football game, two participants competed in a halftime game in which they had to throw footballs into a target. (4:21) After video replay evidence, and a viral tweet by Dan Lust, Dr. Pepper has agreed to award both halftime participants with tuition scholarships due to an incorrect determination of the winner.

The NCAA is proposing a new subdivision conference where the "haves" can make up their own rules, and the "have nots" will sit on the sidelines. (34:59) NCAA President Charlie Baker released a proposal in which a new subdivision of college athletics which school can opt-in to. The schools that opt-in would be based upon the financial status of the schools, and the schools within the subdivision would be able to create their own new rules regarding scholarships, recruiting, NIL, and more. The biggest thing would be that these universities would be able to enter into NIL deals with their own student athletes. This may show that the NCAA is willing to adapt to the times, but there is still a long way to go.
