No April Fool's. It's Worse at LSU Than at OSU
Since this is BBall, rebuilds are much quicker with the portal and HS stars that can be good from day one. You only need a couple and I'm sure LSU can afford some big NILs.

Can You Buy the Championship?
Bride's maid? Overton was born in College Station when his parents worked in athletics administration at Texas A&M. "I was considering Oregon before I went (on my last visit) but once I stepped on that campus and got to the real stuff that’s when I knew.” Webster’s “the real Stuff” = NIL $$$ ?

Will NIL Bring Back the Meaning of Bowl Season?
It will also depend on NIL deals that go beyond the college. Thibs has an airline deal that I am assuming goes beyond college.

Oklahoma Still Steamed Over Riley Dumping Them for USC
My money is on Riley running from the SEC. I think OU would have matched $$$. Kelly I think is a money grab.

Will NIL Bring Back the Meaning of Bowl Season?
Hard to legislate bowl requirements. NIL people may want a healthy pro, so they could add to the problem.

Would You Want Him in Your Foxhole?
I think I read that Travis dye took the lineman out to dinner to break his news that he was leaving. I hope that it is true and that he used his SC Mastercard to pay.

Pac-12 Offices are Going "Remote"
I wonder if the savings/"payout" to each school will be the same as a NY6 bowl game. And, another parting shot at Larry. Thanks George.

The Temporary Nature of 2022 College Football
Alex you ask "Do you believe it’ll settle once the nation has grown accustomed to the new NIL regulations, or has the NFL’s superstar empowerment movement put us past the point of no return?" "Settle" is an interesting word. I do not think things will settle down, I think new wrinkles will continue to develop and we will grow accustom to unsettling. And Yes, we are past the point of no return with player power in college football. We have survived it in the pros (for those who still watch) and now will learn to survive it in college or just turn off the damn TV (Amazon prime reading anyone?). Lastly, I really hope we NEVER see the refs protect the star players like they do in the pros (I'm looking at 3 and 1/2 steps in basketball without traveling calls unless you're an unproven rookie, and Tom Brady not being allowed to fall on his ash without a flag). As of now we already see it in regard to refs being afraid of some coaches so those teams get favorable calls.
