Got to explain what Viagra is to my kid. Thanks BYU.
If Fleck leaves Minnesota, we could easily loose CK.
a guy like Brooks should have absolutely played last night. he robbed himself going out eating sweet pop tarts, and there's no way he's getting drafted. i love the guy and the kind of receiver/returner he is, but come on. deuce almost didn't get drafted and brooks isn't near as electric and practically the same size at a position where you need more size.Not trying to be a cranky old person and this is not specific to Brooks but at what point does all of the "opting out" end? Like if a player realizes their team won't make the CFP 8 games into the season can they opt out of the rest of that season's games because they are meaningless opportunities to get a career-ending injury? Will participation in bowl games become a condition of NIL money? If bowl games are meaningless and not worth playing in, which games during the regular season are meaningful?
Definitely not niche. More like ubiquitous.
AND, I am very disappointed that they did not make that trophy into an actual toaster.
We're getting left behind. It is what it is.
NCAA president Charlie Baker on Tuesday proposed the creation of a new subdivision within Division I that would allow the highest-resource schools the ability to compensate athletes directly through a trust fund and direct name, image and likeness (NIL) payments.
The groundbreaking proposal was sent out to Division I members and obtained by The Athletic on Tuesday morning, and it included the following recommendations:
The formation of a new subdivision made up of institutions with the highest resources that can directly compensate athletes through an “enhanced educational trust fund,” which requires the schools that opt into it an investment of at least $30,000 per year per athlete for at least half of the school’s eligible athletes. Schools would have to adhere to
Title IX, providing equal monetary opportunities to both female and male athletes.
Schools in the new subdivision could create their own rules separate from the rest of D-I, and those rules would allow them the ability to address policies such as scholarship limits and roster size as well as transfers and NIL.
Any Division I school would be able to enter into an NIL deal with its athletes directly, which is not currently permissible.
Any Division I school would be able to distribute to any athlete funding related to educational benefits without any caps on such compensation.
These recommendations from Baker come amid mounting pressure to allow schools to directly compensate their athletes, and as the NCAA is facing significant legal challenges to its model. In the letter to D-I members, Baker calls his proposal a “forward-looking framework” that “gives the educational institutions with the most visibility, the most financial resources and the biggest brands an opportunity to choose to operate with a different set of rules that more accurately reflect their scale and their operating model.”
I've got some Iowa +28 action let's go
That's really the line? Really bad by Vegas. That should be the o/u
