Hoo boy. That’ll be the day. Talk about a jockstravaganza! Let’s see… Whoever the president is, we know he’ll be a jock who couldn’t care less about how corrupt and mercenary the relationship is between the NCAA and sports schools. Or hey maybe we want the vice-president to get involved! There’s Paul Bionic Man Ryan… Joe Weight Lifter Biden… They’re all physical fitness freaks, and they’re all mad sports fans… So forget the executive branch.
Senators and congressmen… yeah, they’re going to want to fuck up the comfy relationship between the NCAA and their home teams… They’re going to want to uncover decades of academic fraud back home and berate the NCAA for overlooking it…

Your argument against government involvement will hold until the feds figure out how to get a piece of the money. Once Uncle finds the path to your bank account, he can be very determined.

Brett: I suspect love of sport is stronger even than love of money for this lot.

Could be. But I think it will be hunger for money, rather than love for it, that will drive them. In order to fund the perks and largesse they have to distribute in order to get elected, they will have to find revenue streams, and those vast untaxed stacks sitting in all those stadiums will, I think, be viewed the way an addict views heroin.
