Just watched those Duke v. FSU highlights. It didn't show how early on, Duke was shutting down FSU's offense. The final score was deceiving. Duke had the lead and wins that game if not for a couple of critical mistakes - allowing a kickoff return for a touchdown followed immediately by throwing...

I'm not sure how much to read into the omissions - some of the missing guys could simply have gotten a bit dinged up during camp and not as ready to play this week as others they're competing with.

Stockton was Philo's go-to WR in high school, so even if he's not a starter this year, he's got a head start for our team in the future.

Your wife's not a fan? You've got work to do.

Too late to edit my previous post but after revisiting the latest info on this, direct payments to players are not just for NIL under the House settlement - there's a revenue-sharing aspect to the settlement that seems like the players would be paid just for being on the team. It's not clear...

How do you define a "job"? And what does "mandatory" have to do with it? Sometimes I skipped classes - but I remained a student. Do you have a job that so is mandatory that you can't ever stop doing it? Or are you saying there must be mandatory requirements for you to consider it a job...

The date of the injury is listed below each player's name. I checked the site a couple of days ago and it had no data - so everything listed is recently released. Unless it states that the player is not available to play, they could just be game-time decisions. "Questionable" is the word...

That and we are deep at WR, at least at this point in the season.

The two are not mutually exclusive as you imply. I was a full-time student and a part-time employee, and at other times I was a full-time employee and a part-time student. You can be both. It doesn't matter if you study 100 hours a week. If you also do work that fits the definition of...

From the Covers Injury list, just updated: GT Player POS Status B. Seither TE - Knee ( Tue, Aug 20) Seither has suffered a knee injury and will miss the 2024 season. J. Long TE - Knee ( Mon, Aug 19) Long suffered a torn ACL and will miss the 2024 season. FSU Player POS Status D. Washington...

If you are talking perception, there’s more to the SEC’s rise to dominance than just talent or marketing. From a publicity standpoint, the impact of national championships cannot be overstated, especially to casual fans who only pay attention to big event headlines. The SEC didn’t really start...

Did you mean this century? Regular season over that span: 4-5.

Great quote - love the irony in that statement. The arrogance of the NCAA, and by association, its member institutions, is a reason for the situation the sport is in today. Had they made reasonable rules, they might still apply.

Thanks for sharing the historical references on this issue, which better explains your point about legal attitudes changing. I learned something. I also surmise that challenges to the NCAA’s position have evolved into more convincing arguments before the courts in the light of past decisions. I...

I believe your thinking is directionally correct. The result could be a 32-team "Premier" league. Ultimately it's going to converge on whatever arrangement generates the most income. There may be a way for the top-tier league to have more than 32 teams if the payouts were weighted by playoff...

Sounds like you agree now that NIL wasn’t a result of players just wanting a piece of the same pie that was paying coaches ever larger amounts. There are concepts accepted as law that aren’t written down as law. But MLB’s Reserve Clause isn’t a good example of an illegal concept that was...

I would like to respond to the content of your post but it's just too incoherent. Instead, I'll just quote @forensicbuzz:

This is a common misconception about the root cause of the NIL rulings. OBannon was about EA Sports using players' image and likeness for their video games without compensation to the athletes because the NCAA wouldn't allow it. EA Sports and the Collegiate Licensing Company settled out of...

NCAA v OBannon NCAA v Alston In a nutshell, the NCAA and its member colleges were breaking antitrust law by colluding to limit athletes' compensation by rules and restrictions. The NCAA's argument before the Supreme Court went something like "Student-Athletes are amateurs because they aren't...

Most fans, and I’m including myself, have been living in a fantasyland that held that amateurism was an inviolate principle underpinning college sports. When in fact, that principle has been illegal for almost 100 years! I’m surprised that a case like Alston didn’t come up decades ago...
