Quote of the Day

It is my hope that this is not another hidden ball trick allowing the NCAA to punt this issue down the field. With this global pandemic challenging our economy, now more than ever we must give flexibility to all students to both continue their education and provide for themselves and their families.
-- Florida state Rep. Chip LaMarca, on the NCAA’s latest response to the NIL issue.
