I truly don't know what kind of universe we are living in anymore.

First, not only is it OK to violently attack our US Capitol building, but now our president wants to reward them financially for all the trouble these rioters suffered.

Then, today, a judge grants a college QB eligibility for this season after the NCAA declared him ineligible for betting on college football, including bets on his own team.

How correct you are on both.

Is Texas Tech willing to get de facto booted from the Big12 who is threatening to cancel their league games over this? The SEC has already announced they will honor a boycott of Tech and whatever the SEC decides, the Big Ten will follow. If the ACC didn't want WVU right in their back yard, they sure as heck won't want a scandal ridden tainted Tech.

I know a former Yahoo sportwriter who has been predicting an eventual Big10-SEC super conference forever. If this destroys the Big 12 as we know it, the remaining super conference would happily absorb the best of the B12/ACC leftovers. That is what said writer has been claiming well in advance of this Texas Tech debacle.

The same court will rule against any boycott. The Courts and labor laws run college athletics now. Only way out of this mess is a CBA. The proposed federal law is going NO WHERE and courts will strike it down as well for restraining free trade.

You may be correct that the proposed law is going no where, but if it were to pass, it's likely the courts would rule it constitutional. In his concurring opinion for the NCAA v. Alston case in 2021, Justice Brett Kavanaugh specifically highlighted that Congress holds the constitutional power —- not the courts -— to pass legislation that alters or exempts specific industries from antitrust laws.
