^NIL forces the schools to include it in their marketing and recruiting. "Hey, come to Alabama because not only will you play for a national title every year, but you will earn all these NIL deals because you could be one of the best athletes in the nation. We will support you." Do you rea...

Josh has done nearly everything he needs to do to get them there. Last week someone stepped up and made a play. Nobody made a big play other than Josh. The LB corp was decimated and the guy covering Kelce had to cancel his vacation plans and unretire. I knew this game was over when Benard got hurt....

Yep, it's Mark Pope to replace Calipari.

Cal claimed he didn't have control anymore and was being pushed around by boosters and the AD. I don't blame him for leaving. This will hurt Kentucky for at least 2-3 seasons.

Significant NIL money very well may be a prerequisite to athletic success.. .at least for the next decade while the system is in its Wild West unregulated infancy phase. If that is the case, it very well may be the downfall of UW athletics as we have known them in the modern era. There are a lot of...

While sorry to see Diggs and Davis go but it was time. Davis dropped more than few catchable balls but was a very good blocker for a wideout. His price tag was going to be more than Buffalo could carry this season. Diggs played well and was constant threat but he is getting older and would need to ...

IMO getting rid of Diggs is a good idea. His production declined since week 6 last season. They need some younger talent to fill in, which makes it obvious they will draft a WR or two in the draft. Allen is the type of QB who it really does not matter who he is throwing to, he is going to turn plays...

Maybe I am in the minority, but I like the gold/brown combo.

Tennessee is a solid, legit elite team. I think they were totally snubbed for a #1 seed. They are a complete team. Barnes is a solid coach, and IMO Knecht should win Player of the Year (but he probably won't due to media bias). Alabama? They are overrated af. Look at their numbers from the regular ...

The WNIT is no longer the second best tourney, correct? Correct. The NCAA bought the Men’s NIT but didn’t buy the Women’s NIT. This year, the NCAA started the 32 team WBIT which is now the 2nd best women’s tournament. Some of the marketing that I see coming from the University is comparing this yea...

The SEC is a trash men's bball conference. They had 8 teams selected for March Madness, and by the end of the second day, 6 of them were eliminated. LOL. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: They have 1 team already in the Elite 8 and are favored for a 2nd. If the SEC is trash, what does that make the MWC? Tenness...

Izzo is calling for non P5 teams to not be allowed auto-bids for winning their conference. I guess the SEC commish is calling for the same. The SEC is a trash men's bball conference. They had 8 teams selected for March Madness, and by the end of the second day, 6 of them were eliminated. LOL. :rofl...

But how does a 16-14 team who collapsed at the end of the season get an invite? This is perplexing.

There are no other teams to choose from. LOL. J/k.

Glad to see the 'Pokes in. They have a chance to make a run and redeem itself.

They sure think they do....hey BYU it's not 1984 anytime soon...been there done that

Yep. The times have changed. Houston doesn't belong either. They are simply just a men's basketball school. They offer little in football.

I heard Ike was paid $500k, and access to a school jet for his mother to games.

I would love to see these "student athlete" tax returns.

How the he11 did Nevada blow a 17 point lead? Unreal.

I also feel there are too many changes coming too fast with NIL. For instance, NIL is very new. But now schools like Dartmouth are making players "employees". Why push the unionization/employee issue so quickly? As it was said above, schools could very likely drop sports to not deal with ...

It's still free market enterprise. The only solution is some sort of structure that players agree to. I'm not sure that will be possible. Why would the players give anything up at this point? The courts have put the ball in their court and they have no motivation to give it up. Tiered football will...
