It is taxable income. There are certified NCAA agents, and they get paid by the players. https://nilassist.ncaa.org/

The SP+ forecast picks FSU 39 - GT 20.

It’s interesting to see this at the same time that the New York Times runs a new Michael Oher article (gift link) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/18/magazine/blind-side-michael-oher.html?unlocked_article_code=1.EU4.OMiJ.0qDbE4J8uYwW&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare NIL is an...

We didn’t make the list. The San Jose Earthquakes did, though

He did not win the starting job

Not only did the NCAA say “we will set and limit your benefits everywhere” but they also said “you are an amateur, but you’re also under a noncompete and no moonlighting agreement. This is not a job, but you can’t take a job”. The current situation has all sorts of problems. The previous...

Even Deion, Revis, and Charles Woodson got burned. Corners get burned—it’s part of the job.

So many classes have remote options, they can probably watch recordings and take their tests another time

Harvey was underrated last season (IMO)

In the three-win seasons, I wouldn’t call our offense sputtering—that implies that it’s hot and cold. It was just cold.

We also failed to convert a lot of series. It wasn’t just interceptions. We had big plays, but we weren’t very efficient. BC had a terrible defense. We threw picks and fumbled, but we punted a LOT. There were plenty of games where we punted a lot. We had three turnovers against Bowling Green...

That our schedule is backloaded ;) ———— Our offense sputtered a lot last season. A strong and consistent passing attack with some solid possession receivers could have really helped. If we lead the league in passing, it could be just from not sputtering like last season. It usually takes us...

ESPN’s SP+ preseason predictive rankings by Bill Connelly (paywalled) https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/40836337/college-football-2024-preseason-sp+-rankings-takeaways I don’t have more details, but with our schedule, this is a “not bowling” rating. The rating is “good...

Stewart Mandel picks us to go 7-5. He doesn’t think we’re a contender, but he thinks we’re “decent”. For FSU, the question is “how good will DJ Uiagalelei be?”. He likes VT for double digit wins. Miami has rafts of talent and also lots of doubts. Clemson has holes on their roster. NCST has a...

I’m sorry, this is abuse. If you wanted an argument, you should have gone to the basketball forum

I’d love it if the entire paper was a must-read. There are parts worth reading. Bill Torpy covers local news like it should be covered. Today, he’s covering the Cobb County Clerk of Courts, where the department is so messed up that many defendants are never informed about their court dates. The...

Fortunately for the US, Kevin Durant will still be barely eligible in 2028. Maybe we can get Jose on Team USA next time 🤞

Hallelujah has been over-covered, but I think Jeff Buckley’s is the best (it’s a Cohen song) The Sundays cover of Wild Horses is better than the Stones (sacrilege, but I’m sticking with it)

I have a subscription. Bradley says college football is changing. Maybe it’s not for the better. Two dozen FSU players opted out from their bowl game. The PAC 12 is no more as a power conference. The NCAA is apathetic. That’s really the gist of the column

There was already a look in adjustment to add Cal and Stanford. If there’s a justifiable reason and the money works, it’ll happen.
