Here is what is wrong with college sports today. Very little else matters outside of who can write the biggest checks.
In my opinion, this is not sport. Just legalized cheating!
What took him so long?
He should have been in it hard as soon as NIL opened up.
Heās 3 years late.
Have any of you guys read his book Shoe Dog by the way?
I have.
And I was impressed by the lack of filter.
Iāll hold other comments for now.
NOTE: TAF is the LSU Tiger Athletic Fund.
Or maybe it should be taking so long because a large number of the schools being penalized were not properly represented during the negotiations
This has nothing to do with the 27 conferences left out of the process. As Winter noted, this is probably in-fighting among the P5 and, quite frankly, that shouldnāt be a surprise to anyone.
So far, only Houston Christian has legally objected. Of course, thatās likely to change once the draft agreement is filed.
Some interesting discussion there. Sounds like they want to scale NIL back to just paying what the players are worth, which means a few players will get huge deals but some wonāt get much at all.
Acknowledging that Title IX is a potential big deal too.
The miscarriage of justice in the settlement of this case is mind boggling.
The noble pursuit of the college experience.
I fail to see why any collective would put that much money towards softball.
There must have been a softball only super donor. Has to be.
Just read the Athleticās piece about Canady. Says the previous high NIL for a softball player was $175,000.
Anyway, looked up the TTU Matador Club collective and Red Raider S-As perform community service with vetted organizations in exchange for NIL compensation.
Finally, see that TTU had a coaching change and similar to Memphis - former coach left to be an assistant in the SEC. New softball coach previously HC at Louisiana and brought 5 Raginā Cajuns with him from Lafayette to Lubbock, including the 2024 Sun Belt softball POY.
