i appreciate foy putting some stuff together re: lacrosse, but his article basically cements my thoughts on what's going to happen going forward, collectively and individually: nobody knows and is just guessing.  he spends the 1st half of the article detailing how few schools he thinks will opt in, and now it looks like it's 82%.

re: future litigation: it isn't roster limits that'll be a problem, it's literally everything else.  this is a settlement between 3 individual parties and the nc$$.  the only way any non p4 school, athlete, etc.  is bound by it (and waiving litigation) is if they themselves opt in.  that leaves 10s of 1,000s of potential lawsuit candidates. the only way the nc$$ pushes out future litigation is if they get congress to provide antitrust protection with new laws.

which they've tried to do multiple times in the last 10 years and failed.  they settled these cases 1st, so they could then try to lock in a system with congress by saying "look what we've done".  they have even said as much publicly multiple times. they are trying to do an end around collective bargaining.  my "guess" is it won't work.
