@nealmccready you probably didn’t see Bjork’s intro presser but I thought this was interesting:
“we need to chart a new course for the financial arrangement between the athlete and the institution. And we can call that whatever we want but that’s where we’re going. We need to recreate that model. Period. It’s past time to sit down with our athletes, understand what they want out of this experience….we need to deconstruct and recreate the antiquated NCAA governance and divisional structure. At a minimum, there needs to be a consolidation of the highest resource programs..we either take action now or action will continue to be taken upon us. Enough conversations, enough lobbying, enough legal battles. It’s time we make a plan as an enterprise…and Ohio State and the Big Ten along with the rest of our national colleagues”
The guy who is now in charge of the biggest athletic department in the country. Not sure I’ve heard someone in his position speak like this.
