    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I'm not sure what part of the state you live in, but I'm in the heart of Mpls and I can tell you there are plenty of things to do besides vikings football. And not everyone is a sports fan either. But if you don't acknowledge that Mpls has lots to offer that Omaha and Des Moines don't, then I...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    The counter to this is that, in Lincoln, even though they are a mere fraction of our size as you say, is that 99.9% of the people there care about Nebraska football. Our population doesn't scale nearly that well, so even though we have a lot more people, we probably have less overall Gopher...

    Good points on the math. I suppose this just illustrates you can't please everyone when you don't have enough to go around.

    Can you even get the oil changed for less than that?

    REPORT: @On3Memphis has obtained direct messages of former Memphis DB Tahj Ra-El sending UTSA QB Owen McCown the Tigers' playbook before their game

    I feel the same. This is way worse than Michigan. If I was purdue(?) I'd kick him off the team immediately. Which teammates would want to trust this a-hole.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    Example: (and this is just for illustration, as I am a generous tipper) That's kinda like saying when a restaurant automatically adds in a gratuity that the wait staff "made" that money. The person eating obviously wanted to pay for the food, so the profit of selling that food made the...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I was referring to the $200 fee. Obviously people are willing to pay for an education or to go to games.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    At least in terms of the student services fee and other things the kids are paying for, I fixed your sentence for you. The U isn't "making money" they are "taking money". Making money comes from putting out a product or service people will pay for willingly. This isn't that.

    BYU QB Reportedly Transferring

    What the F- does Title 9 have to do with it? Man that is getting stretched WAAAAAY past it's initial intent.

    Good Maybe you'll get so upset you'll stop being a fan and stop posting here. The latter would be a nice compromise.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    "vote w their feet" = change schools, hope all credits transfer, etc isn't quite as simple as you make it out to be.

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    I'll give a pass on losing Bucky Irving since we didn't even have a collective yet, but we weren't able to keep Philip Daniels and he probably doesn't require as much NIL as a successful redshirt freshman QB would. A team like ours basically has a cap and if he and Koi get too much of it, who...

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    I can't follow this. Wouldn't it be easier to think about being the starter if the team enticing you with NIL has the question mark players? If I were him and was looking to leave and Arkansas needed a QB, I'd consider that better than tOSU, etc where you know there's going to be redshirt...

    President Donald Trump to sign executive order establishing national NIL standards amid evolving legislation

    Maybe not you, but there have been lots of people wanting federal legislation around this. If you don't, fine.

    The Gophers need to get into the statue-erecting business too outside of Huntington Bank Stadium.

    I'd put Philip Nelson ahead of Athan. I think he was higher ranked. Plus Athan at least got us that victory in Nebraska after Tanner went out at halftime.

    ESPN: Greg Sankey says SEC, Big Ten still differ on best CFP model

    I hope viewership continues to drop and they go with something else completely. I have zero interest in a college football post season tournament in January, especially when a far better one is shaping up in the exact same sport.

    New NIL Enforcement Targets Collectives, deals must serve ‘valid business purpose’

    I'm having trouble grasping what type of law they could even pass that wouldn't be struck down. If they said college artists can only accept certain types of compensation, etc. or college musicians, they'd be laughed at for even bringing it up. But somehow some people think they can control...

    New NIL Enforcement Targets Collectives, deals must serve ‘valid business purpose’

    Good point. I'm waiting for the time when the Supreme Court rules some 3rd party can't just strike down NIL deals - then the inevitable lawsuits from the athletes who are getting rejected now, claiming that they suffered irreparable financial harm from Deloitte striking them down.
