WOW! No. 1 TE Reportedly Set to Earn Around $10 Million After Committing to USC?
Unfortunately, Mike, NIL doesn't require proof of value or worth. NIL is set by whatever college supporters are willing to pay for player commitments. What we are witnessing, as I averred two years ago, is the end of college sports as we know it. The strong will get stronger, and the little guys, those in low wealth communities, will be eating mud pies. I agree with you regarding the aggrandizement of legislators, but I fear that there is nothing they can do to limit college NIL payments (essentially salaries). If they were state of federal employees, or deemed essential for the safety of the union, then there could be congressional action to restrict these insane payments. Fortunately, I believe that university club teams will eventually carry the college spirit flag of the soon-to-be past.

WOW! No. 1 TE Reportedly Set to Earn Around $10 Million After Committing to USC?
A cap on NIL payments to individual players does not make legal sense. Like the pros, only salary caps can be mandated by the league, in agreement with the Players Union, but not player salaries. Even the feds cannot legislate a player's worth. The NCAA can require "salary caps" on teams, I suppose. But not NIL. Jon Joseph, being the legal mind here, what say you?

Super Regional: Oregon vs Liberty Oregon Walks Off Game 1, 3-2 in extra innings
The rule I found was that a runner MUST REMAIN ON THE BAG whenever the pitcher is near the mound and then can run after the pitch leaves the pitcher's hand. Stupid rule. The runner ought to be able to do jumping jacks on the base but be on the bag when the pitcher releases the ball.

NCAA Men's Tourney, Round 2, Oregon Blows Lead, Eliminated by Arizona 87-83

My Poor Duckies: Rutgers Beats Oregon Badly, 8-0
For we old b-ball playing guys ..................... Two old guys, who both loved to play baseball, made an agreement that the first one of them to die would return to tell the other if there was baseball in heaven. Sure enough, right after one of them died, his spirit appeared to his friend and said, “I have good news and bad news.” “The good news is that there is baseball in heaven! The bad news is. . . you’re pitching on Friday!”
