Not so much.In this solo episode, Grant House breaks down the rapidly evolving power struggle shaping the future of college athletics through the lens of the Brendan Sorsby case, where a Texas court allowed the Texas Tech quarterback to regain eligibility after the NCAA ruled him ineligible for gambling violations.But this episode isn't just about one athlete.It's about the growing tension between the NCAA, conferences, universities, state governments, courts, and athletes themselves. From NIL and the transfer portal to revenue sharing and legal challenges like House v. NCAA, college sports is entering a new era where authority is no longer concentrated in one organization.Topics discussed:The Brendan Sorsby eligibility caseWhy the Big 12 entered the legal battleNCAA authority vs. court interventionThe impact of NIL and athlete compensationThe future of athlete rights and representationLessons from House v.
