"We need to turn over every available stone ..." I disagree, I do not want to see college sports sold to private equity firms. Firms that will not invest money without having a voice in the sports going forward. The media already has far too much influence on college athletics. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or under any stone. Athletic scholarships cost schools money, either directly or indirectly. There is no return on investment by schools adding field hockey or men's gymnastics to their sports menu. Most athletes participating in these two sports, as well as many other non-revenue sports, do not come from financial situations where an athletic scholarship is required or higher education is unavailable. There is nothing wrong with club sports, sports that can be coached by player-coaches. I don't believe that hockey players at Oregon receive athletic scholarships. Yet they're on the ice and having fun. There are all kinds of ideas that require the expenditure of OPM. In the case of more spending by athletic departments, the majority are bleeding red ink. Many of the states that support public schools are running deficits. Given a choice, should states provide money for additional sports for student-athletes or additional aid for financially disadvantaged students? I also note that most of the students at IMG Academy board at the school and are not on athletic scholarship. The tuition for boarding students is $93,900.00 a year. People who live in glass houses ...

Have we found a new pitch coach or have any promising prospects yet? This kid looks like a great addition but he'll need some great guidance.

I hope he cannonballs directly onto and is impaled by Bevo's rack.

This Castellanos cat is DJU in waiting. He was last seen being benched by Bill O'Brien at BC. This is a massize revenge game for FSU, 'screwed out' of the last 4-team PO by Bama, Greg Sankey's 'one of these things is not like the other', Sesame Street charade, a whinny group of ESPN talking heads, and a 'corrupt' PO committee. I always want to see the SEC team go belly up OOC, but it isn't going to happen on 8/30 in Tallahassee.

Osu2 interesting is a stretch for me. Osu2 has been the model of "reload, not rebuild" and should they falter this season. as you noted, they really faltered last season but ended up with the Natty anyway, I don't think it will be due to their spending habits.

The player is not a defendant. I do not know if his agreement with Wisconsin had a liquidated damages clause, but I very much doubt it, as the intent for both parties when the contract was executed was for the player to stay and play for Wisconsin for the next two seasons. Miami was not a party to the contract. Wisconsin has sued for 'Interference With a Contract.' Damages, if Wisconsin prevails, have not been specifically asked for; the pleading simply asks for damages over $10,000, which is typical in litigation of this nature. I imagine if allowed in Wisconsin, where I am not admitted to practice, the plaintiff will ask for punitive damages that could exceed the value of the player's services by millions of dollars. How do you prove the damages suffered? I don't have any idea. 'We would have defeated Alabama if this guy were on the defense?' Hmmmm. Miami, under NFL rules, paid a $1.5 million penalty for interfering with Tom Brady when Brady was under contract. How the NFL arrived at this dollar amount, I do not know. This suit is an attempt to enforce rules against tampering that the NCAA is unwilling and in some cases, unable, under state law, to enforce. We know tampering is ongoing in CFB, but to date, no injured party, recall Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi beefing about USC 'stealing' WR Jordan Addison, has pursued a remedy. There's been lots of tampering smoke, but this suit is the first 'fire.'

My knowledge of NIL contracts is about thimble size. Any contract can be broken, it is the language contained in the contract that stipulates any penalties. My knowledge of law is slightly larger than a thimble, but I don’t see how a court can award tampering damages beyond penalties stipulated within the signed agreement.

It comes down to the coordinators, the HC, and locker room chemistry and player leadership. FSU threw a ton of money at the portal for last year's team. Everyone (pundits) was raving how in 2024-5 FSU was in contention to win it all in rather dominant fashion. Fast-forward to the season and it turns out they didn't have a team and the wheels came off in week zero and it never recovered. Ohio State has been throwing money but has been losing to Michigan quite consistently. They had 2 losses last year! They lucked out with an expanded playoff and had a chance of redemption and credit to them they seized it. But in any previous year they wouldn't have made the playoff. Watching Ohio State this year is going to be an interesting tell as to how productive this practice is year after year.

What happens with in conferences after the fact (the commitment of recruits and transfers) seems as if it should remain beyond the reach of law suits. I guess my question has more to do with before that when competing for the ‘raw material’ of a shared market place. In that sense, it doesn’t seem as much a matter of one forced to subsidize another as it is trying to create a competitive, level playing field. In the end, I guess it would all depend upon which of the two views gains the most traction in the eyes of a judge.

No doubt litigation is likely to follow further consolidation of college athletics. However, Hertz is not required to subsidize Avis, and Oregon is not required to subsidize Oregon State. The ACC, B12, and the Pac-7, pending 8, did not hesitate in putting the final nails in the Real Pac-12's coffin, or in looting the Mountain West. This will not go unnoticed in court. Likely, the entire G6 and the majority of the ACC and B12 members will not be able to meet the Super Conference's annual minimum dollars required to be spent on football. Same for some of the teams in today's Power 2. The ACC has internally separated the wheat from the chaff in artful fashion. Without prejudice, the most watched ACC teams will receive more media money. ACC teams that make money in the postseason will keep the money. BC and Wake Forest did not sue to keep an equal disbursement of revenues and postseason money. The ACC model is coming to the B1G and the SEC. A merger of the B1G and SEC's top teams could cause market share issues, but I imagine the structure of such a 'merger' would be designed to withstand antitrust challenges, and/or the Power 2 could simply pay off the remainder of the ACC and the B12 and the G6. This is happening today with the B1G and the SEC receiving the lion's share of the football PO proceeds. Despite the whining about 'fairness,' the market will, as always, separate the winners from the losers.
