The NCAA is doing all it can to hang on to its last little bit of power despite facing a lawsuit from the state of Tennessee that could eventually cripple the longstanding governing body of college athletics. 

If the state of Tennessee's lawsuit is successful, the NCAA will no longer have the power to prohibit negotiations between high school recruits and NIL collectives. 

In the meantime, the NCAA is still trying to exercise the power it still has in some very frivolous ways. 

Specifically, the NCAA decided this week to ban programs from decorating a recruit's hotel room on official visits. 

Pay-for-play is on the verge of becoming completely legal in college sports and the NCAA, for some reason, is using their time to make decorating a hotel room illegal. Talk about an exercise in futility…

It's clear they're just trying to flex their muscles one last time before being stripped of the ability to punish programs for recruiting violations, essentially, of any kind. 

The NCAA isn't going down quietly. Instead, they're looking like fools as they slowly fade away.
