The presidential college sports commission is gone. There was one?
There wasn’t, but there was going to be. Now, it’s not happening.
Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, citing unnamed Congressional sources, reports that the White House is “pressing pause” on the planned commission. Dellenger explains that the move is possibly rooted in the potential impact of the commission on Senate negotiations regarding legislation that would address the current chaos in college sports.
Separately, Amanda Christovich of FrontOfficeSports.com reports that plans for a commission are on hold, and that the White House has made no final decisions regarding efforts to reform college sports.
Even without a commission, it appears that the federal government remains intent on “fixing” college sports. That task should fall to the universities. Decades of blatant antitrust violations have come home to roost, and the current problems flow from the NCAA and its members: (1) making the current mess; and (2) refusing to clean it up on their own.
