I agree fully. The NCAA lacked foresight and continues to stick with their amateurism arguments despite the P5 constantly demonstrating that the revenue generating sports were operating as professional organizations. This House class action case might kill the NCAA as we know it in the next 5...

Exactly! Your memory is correct. The championship game viewership numbers have been down the past two years. I think last year’s viewership number were the worst ever.

This viewership number is huge. Over 5 million for a GT game. I saw a post where the ACC only had 5 games all season that crossed this threshold.

Hale mentioned Sims as a major snub.

Having the engineering school helps UGA in recruiting battles with other schools (e.g., Texas A&M and Bama). For example, having it actually helped them land Nakobe Dean (5 star) who wanted to major in engineering. You are right it doesn’t often come into play.

Yes, it is confirmation that the networks are deciding everything behind the scenes. I read another report in the Athletic that suggested OU and UT will likely be made close to whole.

Access to talent kills the BIG schools outside of OSU and to some extent Michigan and Penn St. It’s hard to grow up in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and California and want to move to the Midwest for sports without being very well compensated.

No worries. I actually obtained a second degree from Northwestern, which is what brought me to Chicago and why I am familiar with how he ran athletics.

I don’t have any insight but it’s probably safe to say he was wrapped up into the suit because he’s the former AD. Total speculation, I doubt Jim knew of the hazing since he was described as more hands off with his teams while at NU.

Agreed. Plus, Kyle is Damon’s god son. No way he leaves.

And the NCAA will lose at the Supreme Court yet again if they try to cap NCAA. Congress isn’t going to pass any cap on NIL. Why? What politician have you ever heard say “I want my constituents to make less money” - raising taxes is different from capping and/or lowering income.

I hope we (the ACC) can resell those rights for more money.

Yep. All these state schools tend to prefer out of state students with similar academic profiles because it’s 3-4 times the money.

Is he even worth it? His stats don’t seem that impressive. Whatever NIL money we have for transfers should go to the line of scrimmage

This article mentions the pushback he received regarding further expansion.

I think Warren leaving actually harms any additional expansion. He wanted to expand more but it was too much internal pushback.

If it’s money donated to a 501c3

It is likely but Maye is a legacy UNC kid. His dad played football there and his brother won a basketball title so I imagine he may have taken a hometown discount to stay.

Exactly! Case in point, a lot of posters should check out the thread for Jarvis Lee our recent decommit who said the staff asked him to decommit.
