I imagine Moore declares, but I wonder if he will be taking a pay cut to go pro having no idea what his NIL package looked like at Oregon. As Bob_Loblaw said, it's a really weak QB class and Moore and Mendoza likely go in the top ten (I think they probably would have been well below that the...

The answer to the question everyone is asking: Oregon Income Tax Rates

I posted a variaton on the theme in a different thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if more college players who are looking at a Day 3 draft day (and some Dat 2 guys) stay through their eligibility because they are more likely to get a bigger paycheck staying in college than the bonus they would...

He doesn't seem like a fit there given his strengths and the type of QBs they have used during the Lanning era.

I think that's the way it's going to be for most programs going forward, especially as informal tiers are established. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of 4-star players (especially QBs) enroll to play at programs perceived to be lower in the pecking order in order to hit the field right away...

Maybe it's just me, but I always laugh when I see a kid who grew up in the suburbs wearing a cowboy hat. Probably a lot of ropin' and brandin' out in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District #196.

Only if you give him your SSN and mother's maiden name.

According to AI (which gave me pictures of naked CPAs), Indiana state income tax is levied on a flat rate of 3% for taxes payable in 2025. However, counties also levy income taxes so Cignetti would be on the hook for those as well. Of course, It would depend on if he hasn't moved his tax...

As per the middle of the defensive front, if you can't land a sure difference maker the next best thing is to build up a solid rotation of guys. The DE corps is set and deep. Interior looks to be a bit of a work-in-progress, but there are enough guys to have what looks like a decent rotation.

This just came across my feed and I didn't know whether to put this in the Playoff/Bowl thread or start a separate thread. My reaction is "Lawsuit coming in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . ." Curious to know what others think and how NCAA will justify this given previous decision regarding Pavia. I...

I would guess--and this is merely a guess-is that NIL will be treated as income for tax purposes in the state in which it is earned. If I work for a multinational corporation with headquarters in New York but live in Minnesota, I pay Minnesota taxes on my earnings, Same with Federal employees...

If Koi spends 183 days outside of Minnesota, he's not a Minnesota resident for tax purposes. If he's at Texas Tech starting spring semester and is there throughout 2026, he can be a Texas resident for tax purposes. I don't know if he has to do anything other than that to establish residency...

I read a tweet from James Madison University the other day hailing the arrival of Jaylen Bowden. I guess the ink didn't dry.

Not saying this was the case with Koi, but I think what you say is true for a lot of big fish/small pond guys when they take a step up in the competition. They are often so gifted physically that they don't work on technique or develop better instincts. Again, I'm not leveling this directly at...

Oh stop it. Players have been paid, but how many death penalties have been doled out over the years? The needle went so far into the red at SMU that it busted the meter. I'm old. I know players who were if not directly paid, were given "just show up" jobs in the summer. I knew someone from...
