The Chaos of Collegiate Sport in 2022

In the rapidly changing, chaotic climate of collegiate sport in the USA, we are privileged to be agents of Christ’s peace, perspective, and comforting presence. Let's lean into this situation.

Here's a excerpt from an article recently posted in Slate.com describing the NCAA and all of college sport's dilemma. The entire article is available at the link below.

"Some measure of chaos has reigned since then, and the NCAA is now scrambling to settle things down with a new rule that, in its view, isn’t really a new rule. The association fought tooth-and-nail for years to keep athletes from getting paid by third parties, and as it scrapped its way to a long-inevitable defeat on that front, it declined to do any planning for what would happen once a new world arrived. Years of living in denial have caught up with the NCAA in a big way. Third-party payments to players have, in the absence of clear rules, given rise to the thing the NCAA really abhorred from the start: players getting paid to play for specific teams. By going all-out against athlete pay of any kind and declining to engage with even a relative half-measure like name, image, and likeness payments, the NCAA played itself."

The world of sport needs us. Let's serve its people wisely and well.
