Yeah, the disjointed TV/streaming contracts are a pain in the ass. It is, however, hard to find TV slots to get all 18 teams in the conference on the air someplace every week.

Understand that it doesn't work great for everyone, but I had a blast in 2024. Left after Thanksgiving dinner and made it to Madison in time for a couple of nightcaps. Up early on Friday and by the end of the game we had the Camp pretty much to ourselves!

Good luck. Sounds like the kind of thing that shouldn't be a problem. Buddy wanted to move his five seats into a row with six open. Program wouldn't allow it, but a phone call and a chat with a ticket rep was able to help after getting approval for an override from a manager.

Are you trying to move your three into a space with four open seats? The default setting in their program is that they will not allow you to leave just one seat open. Whether that is your issue or not, I'd call and get help. That has worked for me in the past.

I think that Ed loves the life. He's (hopefully) got more money than he needs to live out his life in Louisiana. He wants more access to the team and the program and the fans who love him. Guessing he's primarily a ceremonial hire because Lane likes to have him around and he makes people...

Yeah, I think most of the criticism is personality based at this point. He just rubs some "football guys" the wrong way with the acronyms and the capri pants, but what he's done with the program meets or exceeds what most people nationally think can be accomplished at Minnesota.

Maybe, but there are some really good ones. Also quite possible that they knew it was fake because they recognized him and knew he was underage.

He was making $1.5M at wisconsin. Wonder what the new gig pays?

And usually there is a deadline for requests which are then filled by Gopher Score priority level rather than by request date.

I was surprised to read that. I don't follow the program that closely, but he's had multi-year contracts in the past. It appears that there was no renewal or extension given since the 2023 extension. Was that a topic of discussion/common knowledge? Muzerall is signed through 2029 and I don't...

Sure, like I said, lawyers will be able to fashion arguments about disclosing specific payments to individuals, but that's not all they are refusing to disclose. They also want to withhold how much is going to each program. That doesn't implicate student privacy laws and, as I understand it...

Universally? Probably not. I suppose that it might benefit the volleyball program to say "hey, we here at the University of Minnesota are so committed to building a championship volleyball program that we are dedicating 5% of our rev share NIL to volleyball while our peers are in the 0-3%...

Even the U isn't arguing that the disclosure is wholly prohibited by federal law. They are claiming that the specific allocations by sport constitute "trade secrets." You can fashion some types of arguments to protect payments to individuals as protection of student privacy, and there will be...

I think everyone understands why they want to keep it secret, but I am pretty confident that the money that comes from the University as "revenue sharing" is going to be disclosed at some point, the same way that you can find out how much they pay to anyone. The motives of the requestor are...
