Don't miss a new episode of Moneyline, only on 97.9 Unity Radio. Ernest Floyd has put together a team that provides you with the best sports programming in Worcester. Frank Cristiano, Tom Wells are two of the most successful coaches at the collegiate and high school level, offering unique insight on top news in the sports world.
We talk about a hot button issue of students storming the courts after college basketball games. Frank believes passionate fans have every right to celebrate a huge upset. Tom Wells said his daughter Stacy Wells Shea, Ed.D had her proudest moment when Syracuse had a big upset and rubbed Dickie Vitales head as she ran on the court. He feels each conference has to step up to put in rules for when this happens and get the visiting team off safely.
We discuss the recent court ruling that NIL deals can be used in recruiting. Frank thinks the NCAA dropped the ball from the start by not putting a policy in place to regulate NILs. I brought up title 9 being an issue because male athletes are receiving more money and the majority of NIL deals to begin with. Mr. Wells believes all conference commissioners will meet down the road to break away from the NCAA all together because it's an obsolete, useless organization.
The UFL starting up, Frank thinks spring football is a mistake. He said if the NFL wants a true developmental league, it needs to run in the fall, parallel to an NFL season. This way teams who have needs or injuries can sign players, already in game shape who are ready to contribute, play games on Tuesday nights. Mr. Wells feels football is the most popular sport, people will watch whenever they can, and a spring league could work if given several years to establish.
