It was a good run

IMO they’ll just plan and spend for the next year/opportunity. Gambler mentality. As opposed to a nekton mentality. Always spending and losing, never stop because today’s the day.

Sadly the big ten and their partners will say restricting a conference’s ability to form new private contracts or impairing their ability to seek out their market value would clearly violate the Sherman Antitrust Act and is absolutely a bridge too far. Too bad. Labor law? Never heard of it!

Hold on to your butts Disney, Fox, Comcast fully prepared to bid up the next contracts. Amazon?

Has JJ McCarthy crushed season ticket demand? Fans will put up with a lot. Literally almost anything.

I said what I said 😉

Never in the course of human history has a person bought a product because of a celebrity endorsement. Did you seek out Hertz because of OJ? Hmm, yeah ok. No. No, it is sheer vanity and indulgence. Ok, maybe Cindy Crawford sold a few Pepsi. Maybe.

Would you object to eligibility limits on Fleck or Mark. Yes, because it’s stupid. If a guy wants to spend 15 years in college while playing football would that really upset you? No, it wouldn’t. .

No man, I’m with you. I was an ardent supporter of keeping the sport strictly amateur but i was also a proponent of an antitrust exemption (recognizing the unique nature of college sports) to limit coaching and athletics staff salaries and excess revenue above that cap cap being returned to the...

We are currently in Biff Tannen’s Pleasure Paradise Hotel as a living dream but I’m hopeful once things hit bottom maybe we’ll return to outlawing easy/legal gambling. And, just a thought, enabling football players to negotiate their true market value like coaches, ADs, and every other worker...

But why This was the best football season I can recall as a fan of the sport. The CFP was amazing this year. The Gophers do have a shot, and better than we think. The best in 60 years.

I hardly watch NFL any more and definitely less college than 10-15 years ago. Getting back to the thread and regarding the loss of amateurism, if coaches and idiot ADs signing multimillion dollar contracts didn’t turn fans off from college sports already… I’m calling BS on free agency and...

We all know we’ll still watch if there are 32 year old students working on their third degree playing college football making $2.5M at their sixth school.

The rulings have been all over the map, literally and figuratively. Some courts are friendlier than others. I’d expect even more challenges from the aging out athletes in that mid to high 6 figure plus salary range, unless Congress steps in. When you have a recent panel of federal judges...

Wow, that’s big. If some schools are going to unilaterally force everyone else in the conference to eat scraps I’d say that’s equally if not more of a problem for Olympic sports than the employee athletes getting their fair share. Once that gets traction it’s a slippery slope. I didn’t see...

The cap, after the initial three years of 4% increases (figure around a million) will be reset to the average revenue across the power 5 conference teams. OSU generating massive revenue isn’t going to dent the overall revenue average that much, I’d think. So where is this $40M number coming...

If the schools are really paying $40M in “NIL” as dubiously reported here the CSC fiasco is even more irritating. The call is from inside the house.

McDonough for me cemented a place on the podium with the Ole Miss Georgia CFP 2025 game . For those of us fortunate enough to watch it was one of craziest second halves I’ve ever personally witnessed with multiple insane athletic plays and a perfect narration from Sean throughout. It was...
