Tell it to the judge (ok, jury). Once the amateurism argument died as imperative to the economic model the antitrust onslaught was only matter of time. I think you’re being a little purposefully obtuse or maybe optimistic, but I also once held out hope they could hold it together. Maybe...

It mentions employment numerous times, and clawback provisions should a player transfer. Do NFL players receive W-2 or 1099? Are college football players subject to the employment aspects mentioned in my post above? Similar to NFL players? Substitute conferences/schools for NFL teams and...

If athletes cross out, delete the employment clause will the school say “oh well”. Yes? No? Why or why not? Does the employment language strike you as their having a strong legal footing? Why does the Big Ten, school refuse to release their rev share contract template? Colluding in...

The department revenue comes from broadcast rights revenue negotiated between the conferences, the NCAA, and the media conglomerates. The revenue could not be possible (or paid) without the labor of the players. But, it seems to me this isn’t just a licensing or short-term NIL deal. There are...

Another posted the link in the Wisconsin are idiots thread but I’ll repost it here for you The MOU aggressively attempts to extinguish the prospect of an athlete arguing the deal reflects an employment agreement. Most directly, one clause is bluntly coined “No Employment.” It states the MOU...

The rev share “NIL” requires the player to be a member of the team, practice, play. It’s not the same, but they would like it to be. This is why the players have to assert they will not sue for damages, assert they are/were employees. It won’t hold up, and antitrust damages are triple...

A 20% 2025 cable/streaming cost increase will mollify the investors.

Do we want him back next season? Five year rule under attack. A month after the NCAA was restrained by a federal judge in Tennessee from preventing Vanderbilt quarterback and former JUCO transfer Diego Pavia from playing in 2025-26, the NCAA now aims to convince a federal judge in...

Well, hats off to OSU. They put it all together when it really mattered and all that elite talent really came through. Has a coach ever gone from zero to hero in as short a time as Ryan Day.

It’s not over. Just need fumble Jesus to show up

Now let’s go win one for the Gipper

Shady AF. Typical one-sided corporate attorney BS. Embarrassing. Contracts must have legal tenets to be enforceable, right? Explicit pay for play. Yet…not. Because we said so. Ok. Do not sign, or cross out the ridiculous parts with notations. Return to sender. Maybe Judge Wilken blows...

Listened to Stew and Bruce today. They are of the opinion Wisconsin doesn’t have a leg to stand on; the Big Ten is afraid the Lucas precedent will render useless their carefully designed BIG TEN rev-share contract that apparently hundreds have already signed. They also said the justice...

Conventional wisdom isn’t giving the Domers much chance. Mainly the OSU receivers versus the ND pass defense. I’ve seen both teams lay eggs this year, so I don’t know. Can Notre Dame manufacture turnovers, run the ball. Go Irish.

Expect a lot of laundry, yet some huge missed calls. 🤷‍♂️

Has any collective or other NIL contract successfully blocked a player from transferring? That’s really the question here. If Lucas violated terms of an NIL contract then he’d be obligated to return front-loaded strings attached money, etc.. nobody would dispute that. Wisconsin has...

I’m not understanding your argument, sorry. How does college revenue sharing prevent player movement via portal? It doesn’t. Contracts? I’ve never seen an employment contract that prevented movement, either, on a binding national basis except in the military which is a different form of...

The lawyers are bickering. Given that we’ve had Kevin Warren and TV exec Pettiti I wonder about the BIG TEN. The days of Jim Delaney are long gone. Long gone. I don’t have a lot of confidence. JMHO. But, bully by lawyering does work versus the undercapitalized. I wonder if Wisconsin fans...

Which is related to… OK, if an entity receives outside revenue based on work you (and others) performed and distributes that revenue, contingent on you being physically present at the entity at certain dates and hours, subject to entity management and rules does that sound like an NIL contract...
