They will all become club sports, with no financial aid for teams that will have to find their own coach and make their own travel.”For more than 50 years, Neinas has been one of the most influential power brokers in college sports, serving as a conference commissioner, NCAA executive and disruptor. Long ago he was a pioneer in mining big television money that now contributes heavily to the portal transfer chaos of name, image and likeness Sanders has exploited to remake the Buffaloes into a top 25 pr...
