NIL Fallout
The State of North Carolina being sued for restricting high school athletes from being able to use the NIL world. This is probably going to spread to any state that does not allow high school athletes to be able to use profit from their NIL value. Mom of 2026 QB recruit suing North Carolina over NIL restrictions - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM The mother of quarterback Faizon Brandon, who is the No. 32 overall recruit in the ESPN Junior 300, is suing the state of North Carolina over its NIL restrictions. Middle schoolers must be salivating. I've heard of unscrupulous agents (not sure there are many other kinds) signing HS kids, and maybe college also, to personal service contracts for a low percentage of their future earnings, but those earnings are not limited to NIL deal or pro contracts. For instance, if the pros don't pan out and they become an insurance agent, teacher, etc., they still are on the hook for a piece of their salary. Read the fine print my friends.

2024 BIG Info, Predictions, Etc. (10)
A discussion with Big Ten Ted. BTT "has built a reputation for his in-depth analysis, keen football insights, and ability to break down complex strategies into engaging content for fans. Whether it's dissecting matchups, evaluating team dynamics, or offering predictions, Ted's work resonates with football enthusiasts who crave a deeper understanding of the game." Sounds a lot like BTC (Big Ten Charles). Traditionally in the last 30 years, Oregon is 17-9 against Big Ten teams with five of those matchups in premier bowls, including the national championship. In bowl games, Oregon has gone 4-4 head-to-head. Biggest challenge: the travel and the time constraints placed on the Ducks when they travel east; physicality week-in and week-out. Challenging match up besides Ohio St = Wisconsin.

Oregon Ducks vs. Ohio State Game Time Released, Prime Time Big Ten Matchup
My wife was a big fan too. She grew up in So Cal (too much smog probably injured her brain, hence she married me) and was a big fan of the parade until 2010 when we went to it, froze our butts off and almost burst a bladder for lack of facilities. Much better to watch on TV. Back in the day, the Orange bowl half time was show of the day.
