    Troy Aikman is ‘done’ funding NIL: ‘Didn’t even get a thank you’

    I…don’t believe Troy. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I do not.

    The real story. I suppose the argument for keeping Alabama was mostly about not punishing teams for conference championship games (sorry Bring ‘em fans!) but explaining away Alabama’s slide into comparative horribleness by the end of the season while dismissing Notre Dames stronger finish and...

    Yeah I hesitated to sour the thread but it was a pretty epic rant, so Carry on

    Shooter: Lindsey, Koi and Taylor could exceed $3 million for trio.

    The number thrown around (not gonna check and not consulting “AI”) is 12-15% of payroll goes to a good starting QB in the NFL. So that’s around 1.5M+and he’s worth it, just getting started. DT…nope. That’s just a bad gamble at this point. Can’t tie up that much money in a guy who’s there for...

    I hope the one band mom is cool with whatever accommodations, meals, travel times and transportation end up being offered..

    Here is TxTech billionaire walking through blueprint for how they bought their way into the national spotlight. This is the new college football.

    I’m just saying I don’t like the guy, or his approach re: the SavingCollegeSports scheme. It’s a personal thing. So, I don’t want to see him succeed. I want his team to be embarrassed and run off the field. Petty? You bet. I realize Phil Knight is a booster, but I don’t see him trying to...

    We've got Grey Duck beer sales for NIL, meanwhile...University of Utah nearing landmark private equity deal expected to generate $500 million

    Their “expertise” will be equivalent at best to the in-house employees and consultants and very likely much worse, borderline incompetent. Smoke and mirrors without any accountability or real numbers or any credible plan to raise revenue that University employees and existing consultants...

    I think we found our villain for the tourney. One of JMU/Oregon/Bama/A&M need to blow up this devious little weasel’s mercenary squad.

    If they really need to raise capital….just sell public equity shares, bonds. This is a mistake they will come to regret.

    Here is TxTech billionaire walking through blueprint for how they bought their way into the national spotlight. This is the new college football.

    Looking at this guy’s background and the Save website it’s a thinly veiled scheme to pool media rights via a new governance entity that will (trust me bro) democratize all of college football and generate windfalls for athletic departments while preserving student athlete status and banning the...

    I think you’re right in addition to the already-mentioned social media ego factor. It’s the rare bird who donates significant sums without needing recognition of some kind.

    I have multiple connections to ND and can confirm, and we laugh about it. Not as bad as Michigan. My moniker, incidentally, was literally inspired by the P4 college football fans I interact with. Fine people, mostly.

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    The NFL owners have tried to get to 18 regular season games up from 16. The players union is not as enthusiastic. Risk of injuries, so on. Without leverage the college players are at the mercy of people like Tony Pettiti and his facilitators. He is looking for larger contracts, revenue...

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    This has to be one of the dumbest rebrands I’ve ever heard of. Looking forward to future rebrands like Depot, Cost, maybe Donald’s.
