05/26/2024 - Jim's (SECLMW) Baseball Notes

Unofficial, Uneditted and replete with errors of commission and omission

and http://albdistrict2mi.blogspot.com/ (American Legion baseball emphasis)


*Opinion - On the NCAA/Power 5 agreement on athletes compensation -

First - There may be an agreement, but does that guarantee the rest of the NCAA schools (not “power 5”, DII, DIII) will agree?

Second - If approved and implemented I personnally don't see how the NCAA & schools can maintain that the athletes are not employees.

Third - If the United States Congress gets involved in this they are “over-reaching”, not to mention wasting their time and our money.

Fourth - If approved and implemented I'd expect some current NCAA schools to consider leaving the NCAA )perhaps to the NAIA?);

Fifth - If implemented college sports (outside of the “power 5”) will be drastically altered - maybe that is a good thing?

Sixth - There needs to be some real thought on where competive athletics fits in the misson of our higher education institutions.


Reminder - as the MHSAA & OHSAA seasons ramp up my college coverage will “slack off”. At a minimum I will try to make sure I get weekly standings & awards.
