How correct you are on both. Is Texas Tech willing to get de facto booted from the Big12 who is threatening to cancel their league games over this? The SEC has already announced they will honor a boycott of Tech and whatever the SEC decides, the Big Ten will follow. If the ACC didn't want WVU right in their back yard, they sure as heck won't want a scandal ridden tainted Tech. I know a former Yahoo sportwriter who has been predicting an eventual Big10-SEC super conference forever. If this destroys the Big 12 as we know it, the remaining super conference would happily absorb the best of the B12/ACC leftovers. That is what said writer has been claiming well in advance of this Texas Tech debacle.

It's wild how much sports gambling has grown in a short period and how prevalent gambling is now in the US. Seems like the well's been poisoned very quickly. Very similar to my feeling about the Ohio Lottery when the legalization of it was on the ballot in circa 1972. I left that issue blank, as I could not decide if the state lottery would just switch illegal gambling to legal gambling (in which case I was for it), or if it would create a whole new cohort of gamblers (in which case I would be against it). Knowing what I know now, I would have been a "no" vote. I just didn't envision a world where the state lottery commission would advertise in such a way as to entice multitudes of new gamblers, and how the state getting into the lottery business would legitimize it in some peoples' minds. I should have realized both of those things, but as a young man in my 20s, I did not.

As a journalist, you should probably understand that all laws are subject to judicial review. Marburg vs Madison 1803. Wait and see. As one who taught journalism law classes, I know the difference between constitutional and statutory law. The concept of anti-trust law came into being with the Sherman anti-trust law authored by Ohio Senator John Sherman, younger brother our famous Civil War general. Any judical review of an exemption granted to college sports would be based on analysis of current anti-trust law, not some constitutional principle. The constitutionality of anti-trust legislation has already been upheld by the Supreme Court in Northern Securities Co. v. United States in 1904. Now, that doesn't mean that some rogue district court judge might not rule against an exemption that Congress would grant to college sports, but it does mean that such a ruling would be virtually certaiin to be overturned upon appeal.
