Tyranny of the majority. I’m surprised players haven’t complained; allowed the settlement to proceed. Meanwhile, Coyle and co benefit from being closest to the revenue stream. Am I seeing that the women’s BB coach salary alone rivals their revenue? What happens to an entity like that in the...

Given stated revenue numbers the coaching (31M) and admin staff salaries (27M) are about $58M if my public school math checks out. Scholarships for in sports total $15M, and now rev share $21M. Coach and admin compensation are 38% of revenue Player compensation 23% The football team...

The problem will be that this ^ is blatantly illegal. What comes next after this stupidity, we can guess at.

Maybe that’s what he really wanted, some HVAC, but Greder ran with it

Who really knows. I’d guess if he feels good that there aren’t any skeletons in the NU closet then he may take this all the way to trial. NU may be vulnerable, but it’s pure speculation- and how would a jury of non-football fans react to all this. It’s not like he needs the money. His...

Pat stirs the pot. A gopher hole tradition

Oh yeah, I think we can all guess and nothing wrong with that. I do think many of us are trying to envision why a wildly successful independent entity would need outside money unless it were to eg break apart the Big Ten. That would make sense, but only to a spreadsheet warrior. Then again...

Dubious, but anyway. Education-adjacent? It generally doesn’t. In this scenario they can’t even give a reason for the talks which tells you everything you need to know.

Why would they need private capital to do that? The Big Ten or schools could sell equity shares to you or me at a remarkable price and people would come in droves. Or, you know, just go through typical money channels rather than Vinny down at UR****ed Capital offering 18%.

Typo but I like it. WWE? Don’t expect me to proofread.

For some of them I don’t think it’s about the money or security; these guys are operating purely on an ego-massaging level. Captain Arab has to go hunt his maize and blue whale. I wonder how Michigan fans feel.

I guess you can never have enough. I suppose he wants to beat Michigan and then he can move on. Maslow’s hierarchy. .

I’m surprised Day wasn’t looking to move on from that cesspool, if not for his mental peace then his family members. Fresh start.

For a temporary bump to blow on facilities, salaries, guaranteed salaries after a firing and of course payouts to facilitators. The analogy would be selling equity in a beautiful Orange County oceanfront palazzo to invest in a monthlong hookers and blow bender, maybe a Lambo. Actually, PE in...
