While Baker held an informal meeting with journalists, he attended the Atlantic Coast conference meetings in Florida.
Baker, “I think there is an interest in the executive side in this regard, I think everyone is currently paying attention to what is happening in college sports.” He said.
“I’m ready for anything that can help us go somewhere.”
Baker added that the representatives of his office “spoke to people working on it”, but he did not believe it was a ready frame yet.
In the meantime, the ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said he believes that Congress can help the college sports ecosystem in an ACC network interview.
“When it comes to name, image and similarity, we were very brave for a national standard desire. We have to make sure that we had something that connects all of the 50 states from Washington, because we had a piece of piece and this really weakened college sports.” He said.
