The NCAA "fought" it. But they, in a round'a'bout way, created this. I respect BirdFriend's opinion to say...NO SOUP FOR YOU!

The most disgusting part of this is...if I had a son or daughter in those kinds of athletic circumstances, I would encourage them to go get it. Talk about a hypocrite. How NIL is being managed has caused a big mirror to appear right in front of my face...and it's causing me to look within. I...

Like any of what i have to say matters, but we're not making better human beings because of this. It's unadulterated free agency for TEENAGERS, no rules (essentially), a 50 kegger free for all toga party. The game will suffer long term (and short term yessireebob), the majority of kids won't...

Ohhhhhhhhhh you're talkin Bruce Pearl. That was a Blazer, Big Toe.

Hold on now. 1989 Bronco I or 1989 Bronco II? The difference maker could be in there somewhere.

Interesting.

Sounds high for where we're at in the whole scheme of things. But I don't have the particular info on how Empower The Nest is being distributed from an equitable standpoint. Still shaking my head that this is formally a buyer's business, now. So be it. Go beat your chest on camera and get...

Most don't. At least at our school.

WoW!! Good for him!! I had no idea! I fully expect the IWU/ISU game to continue pre-season!

I was in an admin office when the news came down that ISU was cutting men's wrestling and men's soccer due to TitleIX. Very very somber day&week with tears shed from some surprising people. These were GOOD programs. I get where ChiRedbirdfan is coming from, I do. A lot of good hard working...

Lightning in a bottle good teams in the MVC or most other decent MM conferences will be one hit wonders. Puttin' On The Ritz, anyone?

Pretty much my point exactly.

Do they come right out and ask if anyone has an extra 10 or 20...Million...to pass along?

Yep forget admin skills or past athletes. It used to have great value. It's raaaaaaaaiiiiiiisssssseeeee money.

Yessir, 8.1 rpg! Myles was our most consistent player statistically and again, I'd like to see him back. But 12/8 on a sub .500 team for a guy who, while productive(!), doesn't make his teammates better...it's only my opinion but if we're under .500, carrying a team is out the window. He's a...

No doubt about it. Players, I'm sure, set up their NIL income as a shell business and now you're dealing with corps and LLC's and... But it's still taxable income and I'm not seeing the write offs. I'm sure there's a tax firm out there, though, that has re-invented itself to serve 6 figure...

I am curious how these players' CPA's are structuring said tax returns...cause on paper you've got some kids with upcoming ENORMOUS tax bills as contracted income from the NIL collective.

"Hey SuperStar basketball/football player. It's collective, here. We need a selfie to post on our X account, reminding people of what a great player you are and telling kids to be sure and get their GED. Ohh, here's a million dollars. Thanks. Wish it could be more, sorry about that. Get us...

There used to be a day when 12.4 ppg was 3rd or 4th on the team. Of course we're no longer in the "used to be a day" days. I hear people talking like a 12ppg player is an offensive juggernaut and I just roll my eyes. And I do realize you're not saying Myles is an offensive juggernaut, btw.
