    Thanks for the info! Any role anticipated for Argento?

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    One other thing to factor into the analysis of this dispute as you look for information is that wisconsin, like a lot of schools but not so much Minnesota, has a lot of "media" who are essentially fan boys with podcasts and/or websites. They do and say things that you would not hear from...

    Legendary Broadcaster Bob Uecker has died

    Sad news, he was a classic. His late night appearances with Johnny Carson were legendary. Still makes me laugh every time I watch Major League. Hell, I even liked him (a little bit) on Mr. Belvedere. RIP Bob. (Edited to include a link to Bob's induction speech.) Uecker HOF Speech

    The DC job just opened at Penn State, hope Franklin follows PJ's lead and limits the search to in-house candidates!

    What's wrong with his girlfriend? She seems like a young lady who prioritizes making her own money.

    If he played in '21, '23 and '24 I don't see how he'd have "at least 2 years of eligibility left." Wouldn't it just be 2025?

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    If by "there is nothing WI can do" you mean that, ultimately, they would lose in court, I agree with you based on what I know. But in a very real and practical sense, there is something wisconsin can do and they are doing it right now--they can refuse to put his name in the portal and, at least...

    It is typically just a procedural step. Player requests to be entered and the school complies. They have stopped him from entering the portal thus far by refusing to take the administrative step of entering his name. They are supposed to do that within two business days of receiving his...

    Setting aside the fact that an NIL collective payment isn't supposed to be a bonus in any sense of that word, bonuses "in the real world" are typically a reward for completed work and have already been earned when paid out. There are also "signing bonuses" which are an inducement for future...

    Cannot comment on this particular agreement because I haven't seen it, but even if the collective has some type of contractual recovery right, how do they enforce it? There could be some type of dispute resolution provision, but I haven't seen any reference to that here. They could ask for the...

    Memorial Stadium

    Great thread, thanks to all for sharing their memories. My personal experiences at Memorial Stadium are limited to my Dad's stories of attending games starting in the 30's and then arriving on the campus shortly before demolition. Did manage to scale a security fence and grab a couple of bricks...

    Burns has also said that Tyler Cooper has had some type of a surgery and is unlikely to play.

    To add a bit to the above, it seems that Lucas agreed to some type of an NIL deal in Madison and got some money up front. He went home for break (cuz no bowl practices at wisconsin :)) and his Mom, who never wanted him to leave Florida in the first place, got in his ear about other...

    Another NIL mess…

    Sure there are lots of "he said, she said" situations where the parties don't concur on what was agreed. Sometimes this is a case of one side lying, but often there are honest disagreements over the terms of the contract or whether there was a contract at all. When that happens, the judge or...

    Seems like there is/was some disconnect among the players and coaches in the secondary there. Lots of transfers from that group.
