Some good news on college sports governance. "The new agency in charge of regulating name, image, likeness deals in college sports sent a letter to schools Thursday saying it had rejected deals between players and donor-backed collectives formed over the past several years to funnel money to athlete...

Maybe the Supreme Court will determine there is no difference between boys and girls when it comes to sports; thus Title IX becomes irrelevant. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/supreme-court-to-hear-challenge-to-state-bans-on-transgender-athletes-in-womens-sports-989f2e10?st=3T8fGr&reflink=desktopweb...

President Donald Trump is making plans to create a presidential commission on college athletics. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/sources-president-trump-creating-commission-on-college-sports-to-address-issues-ailing-industry-led-by-nick-saban-180732653.html?utm_source...

Saw an article in USA TODAY that said the President was considering an executive o order addressing College Athletics, after a meeting with Nick Saban. I’m not able to add the article to this post…maybe one of you guys can. This is from the WSJ- https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/trump-considers-e...

I've heard rumors about Nico from Tennessee, also heard he might head to UCLA, probably cause Joey to reenter the portal

Looks like Nico to UNC is going to happen.

Interesting article on Duke's NIL collective.

Flopping should be a no-call. The flopping player can’t play defense from his backside and gives the offense an advantage. Play on.

It's really shaping up to be a baseball style farm system. Might as well bring back AAA, AA, and A levels.

The difference is the “major league” teams are not footing the bill for the farm system- we are.

Had no idea there was a button down there.

I wonder if some entity will eventually go the stock trade gambling route with college football. Ohio state is valued 10billion like a stock. Football teams break away from schools and become "franchisees" of the schools to allow for name, logo, etc use. Schools get a percent kickback and charge fa...

Mostly what I would expect with a few exceptions; Tulane at 129, WVU at 82 (lowest P4). App State is number 95.

I hope 4 and 2 both have excellent years. At the end of the day, it indirectly may help App St given we were the stop before the Power Conference. UCLA has Penn State, Ohio State and Indiana on their schedule. Seems weird putting Indiana football as a tough game. Will be interesting to see how they...

Assume you are a Miami alum earning $150K/year and donating $2K/year to the Miami athletic scholarship fund- How do you feel about partially funding the tuition for a QB that is going to get paid $4M?

I would like to see Rick Neuheisel. He thinks the G5 should have a seat at the table and there should be revenue sharing. I think Saban would be fine with two conferences and eight teams from each making the playoffs, i.e. NFL model. Saban would lock out all conferences other than the Big 10 and the...

That’s 2 from R-Kansas

Three thus far from R-kansas. Hasz, Dozier, and Yurachek.

And a coach. Yurachek, the player and our coach, are the sons of the AD at Arkansas.

I'm my own grandpa.

Sure are a lot of grown, supposedly mature, adults on here shitting on these young men who are trying to get a pay day using the skills they have. What a bunch of sour puss panty wads. If this is how y'all want to treat these young men when they try to get one last pay day then why the F would any ...

Perhaps it's me getting old and more crotchety, but these players transferring out and sending the "thank you" tweet is analogous to splitting with the wife and sending a mushy letter to the in-laws. At best, it falls on deaf ears; but more likely, just pisses them off. Totally unnecessary; if you'r...

Appears another college basketball coach is leaving due to NIL. Players from the Final 4 team jumped ship for $$. If coaches are stepping away, fans will too. The bigger risk for schools like App State, is donors will step away. The casual fan that does not care about how the sausage is made, will ...

Nate Johnson committed to Missouri.
