I applaud the attempt, but I still don't know how you get around NIL collectives. If the NCAA couldn't stop them, (and Congressman Romney said they were coming for the NCAA back when this mess started), but now Congress wants to do the very thing they said the NCAA can't do? I don't think...

You used * for footnotes but then didn't list the footnotes for Diane and Daniels. Why the star next to their names?

Did they say offense or defense?

Pretty fair article and probably not AI generated if the only thing I can nit-pik on is 2/4 isn't "most". I'd much rather be MN than the Bruins right now though.

22nd Ave Station, formerly of NE Mpls. Now it's a thai restaurant or something.

If only the son had paid the taxes, sigh. Instead his woman spent his money and he couldn't pay the IRS so they shut it down. I remember going in near the end and they were selling beer they bought at the liquor store across the street cuz they weren't getting deliveries anymore.

Good point, I let that slip over my head. But here's an article in USA today that I don't quite get, it mentions the antitrust exemption as a way to avoid lawsuits...

I'd prefer the opener to be a tougher opponent like @dpodoll68 said, but it would have to be a game that gets us attention, like TCU when they were ranked high. If we aren't going to get national TV exposure, then I'll go with the guaranteed win/warm up game.

How in the world did you come to that conclusion??? Seems like you're just butt-hurt because someone had a critical comment about your post.

Legally I don't see anything wrong, I mean, it's not illegal to cap salaries in other pro leagues. I don't think them being 18-23 versus older for the NFL has any legal standing. As for ethics, that can probably be argued to death with no agreed upon conclusion (cue MplsGopher, Gophers4Life...

So I went and looked it up, there are actually a few picks that went in round 1 (Bernie Kosar and Brian Bosworth the most popular names), Terrelle Pryor went in the 3rd in 2011 and someone from Western Michigan went in the 3rd in 2018. The problem for Sorsby might be the talent in the next...

Wasn't he the QB for Petrino's team that was up to #3 in the polls? I think he went to Michigan first because Mitch Mustain stayed home for Arkansas.

The great thing is that every year EVERY team in the P4 starts out with an opportunity to play for the national championship, regardless of how big or small the playoff is. Just win and you're in!

Me too.

I could be wrong, but I'd tend to think not being eligible to play would trigger the "force majeure" part of the contract.
