    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    This is a real “split the baby” document everyone can or should be upset about. I’m surprised the democrats signed on although it gives lip service to preserving Olympic and women’s sports so there’s that. I could be wrong on cursory read but it doesn’t seem to have any real teeth on...

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

    The last sentence should be what every fan and player is asking. Surely no kickbacks or other arrangements were made. This^ Best case scenario. The company entities will be driven into the ditch, and on the other side of the transaction the more gullible limited partner investor returns can...

    Surprise at #4 - CBS Projects Gophers Drake Lindsey to Get Drafted #4 Overall; Greg Johnson 15th

    Great numbers for a guy on a below average offense. In my worthless opinion he’s… very, very good with all the intangibles. Expectations are off the chart for this fall.

    In an important case for NIL enforcement, an arbitrator upheld a CSC decision denying 18 Nebraska players' deals worth millions of dollars.

    It has to do with the concepts of: associated entities doing deals at the behest of schools, NIL compensation as a “valid business purpose”, and “warehousing”. Tortured language and logic which I believe I saw is already under attack from Kessler and Co; to differentiate Playfly from...

    In an important case for NIL enforcement, an arbitrator upheld a CSC decision denying 18 Nebraska players' deals worth millions of dollars.

    The middleman Playfly did not adequately justify why the contracts were worth ____. Ok, they’ll come back with some made up bull**** and I suppose that’ll pass muster. Guys, guy, guys. Everyone knows this is pay for play. You present this to an impartial jury and you will lose 100% of the...

    Drake incident poll. What's your opinion?

    Of all the potential character issues this is the least concerning one possible. Sure, if it was part of a larger pattern of behavior, conduct, attitude then we can talk.

    Drake incident poll. What's your opinion?

    Agreed, while some rats asses are worse than others 😬. Some would also say they don’t giving a flying **** which is another interesting saying since for most of us that would be pretty awesome and pretty interesting

    Drake incident poll. What's your opinion?

    Don’t kids pass the bottle, drink beer at the: Apartment Parent’s house Campground Woods anymore. Clearly the fake ID industry still has some issues (let’s see it?). Not nothing but a small error in judgment and a small chink in the perceived character armor but who among us is perfect.

    "I'll put up the money and we can go get Fernando [Mendoza]." Mark Cuban tells FOS that he provided the NIL money which allowed Indiana to sign QB

    No, sorry I wasn’t more clear. As much as I wish Cuban would just come out and give a number he and Indiana probably benefit from a little ambiguity. The narrative last season (after the narrative they were overrated died) was Indiana went out and paid top dollar for their team which by any...

    "I'll put up the money and we can go get Fernando [Mendoza]." Mark Cuban tells FOS that he provided the NIL money which allowed Indiana to sign QB

    The Indiana haters should all have to publicly post the top performing QB and team for 2026. Top 3 is acceptable. For posterity. Indiana again?

    College football coaches endorse 24-team playoff, eliminating conference title games

    I realize this is about more money but haven’t they proven they will just spend more money. Are there other rationalizations for this decision and oh yeah, how do the additional games benefit the student athletes. Just go to 32 at this point. No byes and associated horse trading by the committee.

    Big Ten to distribute historic $1.37 billion in revenue to its 18 members for 2025 fiscal year

    Assuming the numbers in the OP are correct and (per Burns in your post) revenue exceeded expenses by 2.3M in FY 2024-2025 and NCAA revenue sharing payments began July 1, 2025 amounting to $20M+ and the new $100 student fee was instituted for academic year 2025 and is expected to garner $7-8M the...

    Yahoo article way too early 2027 NFL draft top 25 Prospects; look at number 24.

    In my worthless opinion he was verygood as a first year starter as not much help, dodging the rush most of the season (Iowa was a great learning experience…). To say he’s my most intriguing player of 2026 would be a major understatement. As far as draft positioning this season will help...

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    Given the US legal age is on par with mostly none of the developed western world (generally 18) the 1984 law change probably stemmed from our unique automobile culture turned deadly weapon, the horrendous survivability of 20th century vehicles, and arguably some unique cultural issues/idiotic...

    Kaliakmanis leads the nation in passing yards (1150).

    Rutgers had/has some really good ball catchers. Makes any QB look good. Even AK. I can’t believe he’d get drafted but nobody asked me. The Vikings took an average ability QB as a high first rounder. So who knows.

    New Executive Order on College Sports

    Nobody wins in the hyperbole wars. The only winning move is not to play the game. I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Tony Little and the Gazelle. I love a good pitchman, which is why I like Fleck. Billy Mays missed his calling. Ding King, anybody?
