Well here we are on 17Dec2020 and ESPN, the WWL, and its’ writer Dan Murphy has put out an Name-Image_Likeness (NIL) update of sorts. He goes into detail in his article irt the Blumenthal-Booker Bill, more commonly known as the Players Bill of Rights, which is working its’ way through Congress. The Bill of Rights is hoped to get worked on and passed during the 1st half of 2021 in Congress to cut off a potential avalanche of individual state bills beginning in July 2021 with Florida’s version.

Bluenotes has looked repeatedly at the slate of proposed NIL bills including the NCAA’s take, in our 3 presentations on Name-Image-Likeness. Our 16 Sep 20 article and 2 youtube videos go into depth on the NIL subject matter. Take a look.

Our 16 Sep 2020 post here on Bluenotes: NCAA Plantation Mentality… https://bluenotes2.com/?s=NIL and 2 Bluenotes Basketball 365 NIL videos on Youtube:

For what it’s worth, Murphy does a good job of delineating the Blumenthal-Booker BoR in his article. The BoR is the most sweeping, comprehensive of the 4 national bills currently circulating. It is the most lucrative for players and is a gamechanger of the current collegiate landscape.

Well folks, it’s about time these 2 met up again on the court. Last time it was Eddie Sutton vs Ted Owens in the 1974 NCAA Tourney. Game was 55-54 KU in the Midwest Regional semifinals, down in Tulsa. Morningstar vs Harmon, and it was a great game. Unfortunately, there would be no more. KU leads the all-time series 9-6.

And here we are, 45 years later…with lil’ Creighton taking the walk down to Lawrence for a game. There will only be 2500 in the stands, as Covid is kicking butts everywhere, but a few of the Jays faithful are making the trip.

I expect the Bluejays to prevail, as we have the more experienced team, the better team. Few pundits, pollsters, or bettors expect us to win, but who cares what they think.

Last CU victory was wayback in Dec 1949. Last RS game was Dec 1951. Last MTE game was Sunflower Classic in Dec 1968. We’re due – Jays roll.

#Roll Damn Jays!
