Jessica O’Beirne has — for years — been pointing out that everyone in the NCAA has power, except the athletes.
The talent.
But times they are a-Changin’.
Last year Kylin Hill won the Conerly Trophy, awarded to the top player in the state of Mississippi.
He’s not coming back for his Senior year unless the state flag is changed to remove the the banner of the Confederacy.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey also threatened to not hold future championship events in the state …
Several state universities, including Mississippi State and Ole Miss, stopped flying the flag in 2016 …

Temple alumnus Law student Jeff Shearer published a paper on Title IX and Men’s Gymnastics in the Pace Intellectual Property, Sports & Entertainment Law Forum.
Jeff:
I wrote this paper because of my passion for gymnastics and the fact that the sport has seen a numerical decline in varsity programs over the years.
I demonstrate how Title IX and the commercialization of college sports are—in my opinion—the cause of this problem.
I close with an argument that the binary application of Title IX will only cause more challenges for transgender athletes and sports programs. …
Title IX is pretty complicated and I attempt to break it down for a non-legal audience with my writing.
Please share this paper throughout the gymnastics community so that people can be educated about why the sport has lost so many programs over the years. I am hoping it can help any program that is currently struggling to survive.

Thanks Jesse.
