    Athletic: College football may be in danger

    Private transactions for services provided. Then I suppose you’re going to tell me the school payments aren’t pay for play. That they’re not employees in every legal sense of the word. Because Jeffrey Kessler waved his hands and said so. Don't get me started on the House salary cap. Fake...

    Athletic: College football may be in danger

    They’re under no obligation to share their financials with anyone except the IRS. I hear you, it would be nice if everyone played by the rules but there are literally no teeth behind these rules, which of course are arguably illegal anyway. No subpoena power or discovery. No force of law...

    Athletic: College football may be in danger

    Boosters aren’t subject to any kind of reporting requirements that I’m aware of. The players are (IRS) but as we know it took a Booz Hamilton leaker (which got him 5 years in the slammy) to reveal the tax returns of a certain fake tan-loving reality tv star turned politician. Who would ever...

    Athletic: College football may be in danger

    Who in their right mind is submitting these deals to the schools/CSC? if it wasn’t happening already the CSC overreach will drive the market underground.

    Targeting Rule Change

    Oh no, no, no no. A helmet “sliding up” inferiorly superiorly through the lower jaw area or ear hole of a defenseless quarterback or receiver is not. It’s in the rule. I guess.

    Targeting Rule Change

    Meet the new boss, same as the… And yeah, probably unworkable with tech cheats finding workarounds in our modern times. Maybe, hear me out, a panel of 13 people mostly or totally unfamiliar with American football (my vote would be kindergartners, to reduce bias and betting app use although you...

    Targeting Rule Change

    Nobody, including big ten officials first and foremost, seems to understand the targeting rule as written. Maybe most rules. I propose: 1) Change the rule 2) AI analysis of plays for rule violations (only half-joking). See proposal #1 if you don’t like the outcome. 3) Crowd source...

    Wisconsin NIL Bill

    Before I have an opinion I need to know if Ds or Rs supported this, and I may change my opinion based on that knowledge.

    How much is the University of Minnesota paying athletes? They refuse to say.

    The more interesting question is whether the player compensation scheme fulfills the tests for employee status. Then question whether a similar scheme in the private sector would bring down the penalty hammer. Go from there.

    Big Ten, SEC Tell Congress There’s No Need to Pool TV Deals

    The conferences would require $ to buy out their current media (and teams from their conferences, potentially) contracts to jump into this new entity and wouldn’t you know it, Cody Campbell happens to know people that bankrolled his oil field flips! They will of course require some percentage...

    The next great Fleck team

    The secret sauce (to any endeavor) is putting the right guys in the right position to succeed. Simple, yet not. Michelangelo could make a masterpiece from sweat and blood. Bob, maybe not. Then there is the experience factor. Climbers, canyoneer, adventurers, flyers creed "Good judgment comes...

    Big Ten details 24-team CFP plan with no league title games

    ^ The first round bye for top 8 while the bottom 16 play is tacit admission nobody really expects or respects those teams as championship material (despite 2025 Miami’s late season resurrection). The sole reasons are revenue $ and probably more importantly for PE salesperson Pettiti the...

    Big Ten details 24-team CFP plan with no league title games

    Why does the big ten want 24? Let’s start there. Once that’s clear encourage/let/force Pettiti to spend more time with family.

    Fleck on NIL, Season Results, Next Year, & Indiana

    Well, the transfer rankings, preseason rankings, betting odds etc all painted a picture and that picture was that Indiana was projected as an 8-9 win fringe top 25 team rather than 16-0 national champions. They still had doubters and haters going into the Miami game! So hearing they were...
