このコンテンツについて

 A series of events over the last 18 months—some unforeseeable—have created a perfect storm that will change college sports forever. The NCAA's bait and switch campaign in Congress on name, image, and likeness, a historic case in the US Supreme Court, COVID, race-based social unrest, the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (and the ascent of Amy Coney Barrett,) the Georgia special elections, and more have conspired to make this era perhaps the most consequential in the history of American sports. In this perfect storm, nothing is as it appears to the public. The NCAA and powerful conferences have marshaled some of the most powerful corporate, legal, public relations, media, and political forces in the world to wage war against a small group of elite revenue-producing athletes—overwhelmingly African American—who threaten to disrupt the NCAA cartel in the 15 billion-dollar-a-year college sports industry. The NCAA is one bill in Congress and one Supreme Court decision away from achieving the Iron Throne of college sports regulation. If that happens, the athletes whose talents underwrite the entire industry will have no recourse in federal courts to challenge the NCAA's amateurism-based compensation limits and state legislatures will be powerless to pass laws that protect athletes' basic economic liberties. Join former Duke basketball player, attorney, academician, and athletes' rights advocate Richard Ford as he dissects the NCAA's war against revenue-producing athletes and the institutions, interests, decision-makers, and motives behind it.© 2025 the BigAmateurism monologues Richard Ford 社会科学

  • Kentucky Governor Acts in the Wake of NCAA Incompetence on NIL

    Kentucky Governor Acts in the Wake of NCAA Incompetence on NIL
    2025/06/25
    By executive order dated June 24th, 2021, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear issued temporary name, image, and likeness regulations that provide athletes in Kentucky NIL rights. With a NIL law pending in the Kentucky legislature, Beshear acted preemptively to ensure that Kentucky schools are not left at a competitive disadvantage in the ever-important talent acquisition market. Beshear’s executive order offers a new pathway for states who do not have NIL laws to preserve their competitive interests. Beshears order leaves to the universities broad discretion to define specific NIL rules and the NIL marketplace. This pathway makes a mockery of the NCAA’s campaign for absolute “uniformity” in NIL regulation. Now, rather than 50 different NIL standards, there could theoretically be 1,100 different standards. It remains to be seen whether other governors in states that have no NIL law set to go into effect on July 1st will follow Kentucky’s lead. I also preview another huge event on June 24th: a federal court order from Judge Claudia Wilken—the same judge who presided over O’Bannon and Alston—that paves the way for a new legal theory in athlete challenges to NCAA compensation limits. Buckle up. It’s going to be a wild ride!

  • Herbstreit and Howard Flap Suggests Growing Values Dissonance for ESPN and Power 5

    Herbstreit and Howard Flap Suggests Growing Values Dissonance for ESPN and Power 5
    2025/06/04
    On New Year’s Day, ESPN analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard went old school to criticize NFL-caliber football players who opted out of increasingly less consequential bowl games to avoid career-altering (or ending) injuries. Herbstreit questioned these players’ love for the game, and Howard described them as entitled. Facing immediate blowback online (and presumably after consulting with ESPN higher-ups), Herbstreit issued a “clarification” that was essentially a poorly disguised double down. This episode discusses why Herbstreit’s and Howard’s comments reveal a growing values-based imaging and messaging problem for both ESPN and the Power 5.

  • Saban Schools Fisher While Lobbying for Protective Federal Legislation

    Saban Schools Fisher While Lobbying for Protective Federal Legislation
    2025/05/21
    Nick Saban’s comments on the state of college sports regulation will no doubt be remembered more for the reaction they drew from Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher than for what they say about the future of college sports. This was textbook Saban. Grab headlines with provocative claims, then weave in the actual message. Saban’s claims that Texas A&M and Jackson State were “buying” players—and Fisher’s entertaining rant in response—are a sportswriter’s dream. This gift will keep giving until the teams square off in Tuscaloosa in October. But Saban’s comments are worth analyzing for a much different reason. In his portrayal of the chaotic state of college sports regulation, he was a human talking point for tired—and often false—narratives that justify protective federal legislation that would effectively end the athletes’ rights movement. Saban’s megaphone is second to none in college sports. When he speaks, people listen. Saban is a far more potent lobbying force than the army of paid lobbyists working on behalf of the NCAA and the Power 5 conferences, including the SEC. This episode examines Saban’s comments in the context of the NCAA/Power 5 lobbying and public relations war against revenue-producing athletes.
