I agree but plenty of other coaches have to figure it out with a ton of turnover too. Continuity isnt an expectation anymore as you know. And even so it doesn’t promise success.

Wait... there's food? I hope it's better than what the Gold Room serves
Not entirely sure, but the SEC already responded

We'll see, but so far I like it. It's a good first step, but only one of many that need to happen.
Not sure if it’ll hold up as enforceable in court, is what I saw. Or if the ncaa will enforce it. Would like to see it enforced.
Shocking something to further the Sec Invitational. Last year was the worst tournament ever, zero debate. Didn't we learn anything from that non sense. Could it possibly be because they missed the final 4..... I'm tired of the stupid SEC and their bs every year. The bigger deal is expanding the Tournament to 76 teams so that the entire SEC can make the Tournament. As far as the govt trying to get involved, we still follow the constitution in this country so doubtful this holds up.

Hall.was reserve UNLV...became sm all-american in part because Skinn got him to lose 50-60 pounds off, Allenspach was rotational Big at Samford who got the opportunity to start and became all conference,. Mincy from Presbyterian was already all.SOCO, Fat Hill and Long was an afterthought after not having played for 15 months and became a solid double digit scorer who put this multiple games on his back and multiple games for this team this year. Amari Kelly...KD Johnson all key additions for a coach who has more games than any previous one since Larranaga
Mason is going to kick a** in the portal this year
.book it.

"Executive orders are directives issued by the President of the United States to manage the operations of the federal government. While executive orders are generally treated as lawful, they can be challenged in federal court if they are deemed to violate the Constitution or exceed the President's authority. Executive orders can be found unlawful if they attempt to create obligations or rights outside the scope of existing laws or if they infringe on protected rights, such as freedom of speech. The President cannot be prosecuted for issuing an unlawful executive order, but the order can be invalidated, and anyone else attempting to enforce it could face criminal charges."
| "Can an executive order be overturned? | Yes, executive orders are subject to judicial review and may be overturned if they lack support by statute or the Constitution." |

And the next president can cancel/change them. So we'll have to wait and see. But this whole situation is unsustainable. Eventually, it will all come crashing down.Executive Orders: Legally Binding Or Symbolic? | LawShun

I expect the NCAA to challenge or someone to challenge it in court.
As much as I'd like to see enforcement and regulation, it starts with the NCAA in my opinion. They just don't care. At least limiting unlimited transfers would be a small step of improvement.

The NCAA is literally powerless to regulate any of this unless Congress passes the SCORE Act and gives it a partial antittrust exemption.
Congress can’t even be bothered to do its job and vote on legit issues so let’s not hold our breath waiting for them to care about college sports.

it’s the first option. $$$ doesn’t seem like too much of a problem to me, it’s just about if they want to pay people or invest in others who have the opportunity to be studs like we’ve seen and build depth.
Im sure Mason has the money to pay Mincy or Allenspach but who knows what the rest of the roster would look like. But then again, I’m not in the know I’m just guessing.

Considering our top 3 scorers are gone, there seems to be some $ for him!
I didn’t realize there was any sort of proposed law for them on college sports. I guess we’ll see where any of this goes, but it probably won’t do much if I had to guess
Congress has a million other things to worry about and I’m sure college sports is at the bottom of there list. I’d expect his proposal to basically go nowhere unless he pushes congress
Yea 100% agree. And they’re operating with a razor thin margin of error. The staff has been great so far at finding diamonds in the rough but it’s gotta be such high stress relying almost entirely on that method and hoping you hit on close to all of them, every single season.

Correct. Executive orders are not laws. They are generally devised to direct federal policy, or in other words, how the federal executive branch is to conduct its business in relation to an issue at hand.
Aside from Title 9 issues and enforcement (which have no bearing or relation to how revenue sharing, NIL, and the transfer portal are applied and managed), the federal government conducts no business with the operations of college athletics. Hence, it does not possess leverage upon the targets of the EO to enforce its provisions. Therefore the executive order is moot upon arrival.
I don't see tRump's NCAA EO having any teeth and it will be easily challenged and swatted down by the courts if schools accept and apply the order to it's athletics policy. The only thing that the executive order does is to create a possible blueprint to resolve the college sports pay-to-play and free-agency scenes. It could help to jump start momentum in Congress to overcome inertia to pass a law or laws. But until that happens, we can only wait and whine about it.
