...and that's with a football program that is stuck in the dumper.

Imagine spending as much money as we do AND winning games... just a thought.

This is the Instagram post you make after you think you made the wrong college choice because you didn't get as much playing time as you wanted.  Maybe he's star at Penn St or maybe this is his second stop on the way to his 3rd or even 4th stop. Time will tell.

Hope he enjoys playing basketball in a library.

Did it hint on Payne not visiting meaning good things with Kyle or just that we/he is no longer interested?

 

We're interested but probably not interested in paying what it will take to land Payne. 

If you're not willing to pay'n to get the Payne, then you're going to feel the pain.

Going to the school who's first win against a ranked opponent since 1998 was #21 Nebraska (2014-2015).

Since then, they have beat #6 Creighton (2016-2017) and #10 Oklahoma (2017-2018); both first round NCAA tournament wins.

We have now discovered where Keisei's true allegiance lies in the Nebraska Spring League 

 

April 15. Must be a record.

We extended the basketball season so much further this year before football started again

The boos for Chucky are originating from the student section.

It's a simple fix. Just need the stereotypical announcer to say "Those aren't boo's, those are Suh's."

In right to work states, the players would have the choice of not joining the union; and even if there were  restrictions placed on the players in the union that were deemed constitutional that limited earnings, the non-union players will still be free to negotiate with anyone and everyone.  I don't see that being a way out of this.

Agree on the complications and the likelihood of it happening. But it's also not stopping organizations like the NFLPA from being profitable for those who are part of it.

I only play an employment lawyer in fiction, so I don't know all the nuances involved, but I can imagine a world where something like that would come to the collegiate game in some form or fashion.

Free agency at it’s finest.

 

Wonder if the NCAA would explore an MLS model with a salary cap but you can have up to like 3 players who are “Designated Players” and you can pay them whatever.

I see this going one of two directions.

Either there is a players union that is formed. Every freshman gets a standard amount coming in, then they are able to negotiate their contracts in subsequent seasons.

Or some governing body (likely driven by the Big Ten and SEC) will form to provide some sort of rules and regulations.

But with the Supreme Court getting their hands on some of this, that can make governing a bit more difficult. Especially if there becomes some arbitrage where a public or private school has different rules or one state has advantages over another. Universities don't change the status or locations they operate, so there could be some inherent disadvantages for schools unless there's some form of regulatory body that standardizes the rules of conduct.

And to think this whole dang thing started when SMU fired their coach.  
 

SMU hired from USC, USC from Arky, Arky from Kentucky.

NIL killed the Power 5 star.

We can't rewind, we've gone too far.

I'm honestly not a fan. Very low shooting %, and turnover prone. A guy we may look at in the first few years of Fred's tenure 

Oh, come on! He knows how to put up 25 points, 8-14 FG (57%), and 7-10 (70%) against Nebraska.

He would be great for our practice/scouting squad!

The programs that firgure out how to raise money and spend it efficiently are going to be the new bluebloods...

The key to success is to recruit the older (worse) brother all to lure the significantly better younger brother.

Or, just take the arbitrage approach with international players. They can't participate in NIL under the current laws.

Do we need to let the head coaches at NU know that you stole their license plate?
