Update: minutes after this went up, the NCAA sued DeWine in federal court. Baker also told members the Ohio Supreme Court's stay did not reinstate the players' injunction, and that schools reading it otherwise "bear the risk of that interpretation." Update box is at the top of the piece.

It is not just the ACC who's creating problems for the PCSA, which is a silly way to play this politically in my opinion. There's better paths, like the one the NCAA sent out this afternoon. All that said, the effort to pass the PCSA will run into a much larger foe, a foe the size of the Democratic Party caucus who, when this is taken up after the election will (very very likely) have taken back the House of Representatives AND Leader Jeffries will be whipping his entire caucus, including the @TheBlackCaucus, against the PCSA as it stands, turning it into a party vote. (My suspicion is that very few Ds will defect from the whip in the lame duck session, especially with all the partisan efforts going on behind the scenes.) That means Rs have to quell every dissenter in order to pass the PCSA as is, even though this bill is further to the left than what SCORE was. This also is very unlikely to happen. This bill is very unlikely to make it through the House unamended. The NCAA's and other Campbell efforts can still be successful, but they need to actually need to address the Realpolitik of the situation. None of this is impossible--there are still ways to make this happen (which why I'm not at a 0% probability, but 25-30ish%), but this probably ain't gonna do it.
