Friday Flakes: Would Nebraska Willingly Play In A 2nd Tier Athletic Association?

Hat tip to John Bishop and Josh Peterson of 1620 The Zone’s Unsportsmanlike Conduct. On Tuesday they talked about a case that is currently in the Northern California District Court. Greg Doyel of CBS Sports wrote about it here.

In a Northern California district court, conference realignment may take an urgent, unexpected turn. The ongoing Alston v. NCAA trial seeks an injunction against current NCAA scholarship limitations (room, board, books, tuition, cost of attendance). This is the mother of all pay-for-play lawsuits to date in that it basically seeks to end the longstanding “collegiate model.”

In their closing arguments last week, the plaintiffs suggested that conferences “permit the individual conferences to make their own determinations” in compensating players.
