And that's why you have people like Nick Saban saying we need Congress involved in this too to prevent all these ensuing lawsuits because that's how we're here in the first place.
Well, he thinks he's going to win over the Supreme Court.
So he is confident in the Supreme Court right now, the justices that are serving, that he can push this through without any issues.
I've talked to people close to the situation that are very involved in college sports, and they say that things will settle down, but it could be a couple years.
A fascinating part of the Final Four coverage this past weekend was seeing John Calipari, who was a coach at Arkansas, a longtime Kentucky coach,
go back and forth with Jay Billis, who is a college basketball expert, because Jay was saying, how can you tell these kids you can't transfer and coaches will leave for more money in a heartbeat?
But there's some still things to work out there with saying, you know, are you making all these people, these athletes sign contracts and, you know, have a clause in there saying, well, if the coach leaves, then you can transfer.
A lot to still settle out, but it looks like Trump and his staff, including Nick Saban, all these commissioners and college presidents are very determined
to get something done.
So the executive order is expected to go into effect August 1st of this year.
So that leaves the NCAA, the governing body of college sports, less than four months to adjust their system.
Yeah, me personally, if the rocket gets off the launch pad and is able to actually take off, get into space, I consider that a success because that just shows you how perfect the conditions have to be.
for this to happen.
I mean, it is normal for delay after delay to happen and push it back.
You have the two-hour launch window.
So the rocket taken off Wednesday evening at the very beginning of the launch window, I was really impressed.
So now we're entering day three, and this is really cool.
So last night, the Orion spacecraft, which is what the rocket's called, that's carrying the people, just completed the translunar injection burn, which is a huge engine firing that gets the spaceship out of low Earth orbit and tornadoes.
toward the moon.
So this means the rocket has broken free from the Earth's gravitational pull.
