A series of events over the last 18 months—some unforeseeable—have created a perfect storm that will change college sports forever. The NCAA's bait and switch campaign in Congress on name, image, and likeness, a historic case in the US Supreme Court, COVID, race-based social unrest, the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (and the ascent of Amy Coney Barrett,) the Georgia special elections, and more have conspired to make this era perhaps the most consequential in the history of American sports. In this perfect storm, nothing is as it appears to the public. The NCAA and powerful conferences have marshaled some of the most powerful corporate, legal, public relations, media, and political forces in the world to wage war against a small group of elite revenue-producing athletes—overwhelmingly African American—who threaten to disrupt the NCAA cartel in the 15 billion-dollar-a-year college sports industry. The NCAA is one bill in Congress and one Supreme Court decision away from achieving the Iron Throne of college sports regulation. If that happens, the athletes whose talents underwrite the entire industry will have no recourse in federal courts to challenge the NCAA's amateurism-based compensation limits and state legislatures will be powerless to pass laws that protect athletes' basic economic liberties. Join former Duke basketball player, attorney, academician, and athletes' rights advocate Richard Ford as he dissects the NCAA's war against revenue-producing athletes and the institutions, interests, decision-makers, and motives behind it. 社会科学

  • Dr. Livingstone’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Congressional Testimony

    Dr. Livingstone’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Congressional Testimony
    2026/10/15
    On September 30th, 2021, Baylor University President Linda Livingstone testified in the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce. The hearing was titled “A Level Playing Field: College Athletes’ Rights to Their Name, Image, and Likeness.” Dr. Livingstone identified herself to the Subcommittee and the public primarily as a university president and mentioned her role as the Vice-Chair of the Big XII Conference and a member of the NCAA’s Constitutional Committee. But Dr. Livingstone is not a garden variety university president when it comes to college sports. She is also a member of the NCAA Board of Governors and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors. These are the two most powerful and consequential governing boards in the NCAA governance system, making Dr. Livingstone one of the most influential people in college sports. Dr. Livingstone made a case for placing the NCAA on the Iron Throne of college sports regulation, advocating for federal preemption of state NIL laws, anti-trust immunity, and a federal declaration that athletes cannot be employees of their university. In her testimony, Dr. Livingstone did not identify or explain to the Subcommittee the powerful positions she holds in the NCAA governance system. Moreover, Dr. Livingstone’s case for extraordinary federal powers and immunities pitted the interests of revenue-producing athletes against those of nonrevenue-producing athletes. This episode analyzes Dr. Livingstone’s testimony.

  • The NCAA’s War on Revenue-Producing Men’s Basketball Players

    The NCAA’s War on Revenue-Producing Men’s Basketball Players
    2026/10/02
    The entire NCAA bureaucracy, notably its infractions and enforcement processes, is funded by the Division I men’s basketball tournament (March Madness). An elite core of black basketball players is the lifeblood of the tournament. Without these world-class athletes, March Madness would have little commercial value. The NCAA takes billions of dollars generated by these black athletes and diverts it to downstream stakeholder-beneficiaries who are overwhelmingly white and comparatively well-off. This episode analyzes the true value of these high-value men’s basketball players and highlights the unconscionable, regressive diversion of wealth upon which the entire college sports business model rests. These are the very athletes that are now in the crosshairs of the NCAA infractions and enforcement process.
