NCAA president Mark Emmert with one final plea for legislative relief: "If you, Congress, want college sports to continue in this fashion over here, we need your help to do that." Evidently NCAA president Mark Emmert is again lobbying Congress for a legislative solution – i.e., an antitrust exemption – to a situation Emmert’s own organization could have avoided, by simply hopping aboard the name/image/likeness express and creating sensible guidelines that wouldn’t penalize the athletes.

You might have seen the clip: Lee coming out of the stands, holding a beer in one hand and his glove with the other, uniform shirt untucked, only to strike out an opposing hitter with his high-arcing eephus pitch. In case you missed it, left-hander Bill “Spaceman” Lee is still flinging ’em at age 75, for the Savannah Bananas “premier adult” team.
