  1. Did aggy ever sue on this? If not I'm surprised.
  2. I thought the 8 team thing was for CFP eligibility but I could have made that up.
  3. TXST to PAC and UTEP to MWC and call it a day already.
  4. The NCAA is an empty nutsack at this point, complete impotence. They ain't gonna even ask questions on this shit anymore.
  5. All he has to say is that he was promised marketing opportunities worth $100K that didn't come through. As imma keeps pointing out, that's how these NIL contracts are written to comply with the rules. He didn't even have a contract here so he can transfer wherever the fuck he wants for any reason he wants.
  6. Lol, of course he’s saying it moron, he’s corrupt as shit. Let me know when it becomes part of the Democratic Party platform the way the GQP does for lord orange or when the senate launches a weeks long “investigation” of the Justice Department over this shit. I swear your posts are a fucking microcosm of the brainworms infecting half this fucking country.
  7. Cincy-UH drawing 195K viewers sounds high actually, or fairly impressive tbh.
  8. Nah, the c suite people all support him because they know he won’t do a god damned thing to hurt their profit margins and will shut down workers who ask for decent wages. It’s all organized, the Republican Party says shit to gullible idiots and gets their vote knowing they’ll never be held accountable for continuing the economic status quo. John Deere might be a little upset that their name was mentioned but they know there ain’t gonna be no fucking tariffs, lol. Trump is just a useful idiot to get votes but even he knows that outsourcing to Mexico increases profits and that’s all his corporate backers care about. The cult buys it because they are fucking morons and they care more about the license to be racist sexist shitheels in public.
  9. So we gonna cry “Witch hunt! Persecution!” and threaten judges and jurors? No? Because people who commit crimes in office should be prosecuted? I don’t get it? /s/sarcasm
  10. Pay up front or escrow til the end of the season. Otherwise week 3 becomes the regular pay up date I guess.
  11. I just hope it’s not a bunch of paramount + exclusives. I have espn+ in the Hulu/Disney package and I like it for OSU baseball and softball. I ain’t buying another fucking app especially for basketball, at least until Lutz shows if he can actually turn our shitass program around.
  12. Facebook too, some good looking British chick that does pretty impressive jump rope routines keeps popping up in my reels and yeah I click on em lol so I’m part of the problem.
  13. As of today 6 Harris signs on my street and none for Trump. There was a Trump flag about a half mile south but I think it’s gone now. Next closest was about 3 miles south. He’ll still win the county but it’ll be mostly straight party line voters.
  14. Sounds like the OC might have been out there making a bunch of bs promises. He could be the one fucked in all of this.
  15. Let's say as a technical matter the deal was "If you come play QB at UNLV, that position comes with a high profile, and we have commitments that you'll get paid $100,000 to appear in a series of television commercials for local and national businesses." He wins the job, has success, and when asked about the promise is told "sorry, those businesses are no longer interested in paying you to appear in their commercials." If the facts are similar to that, I think he's more than justified in saying fuck this, I can quit now and find another QB job next year with a higher profile and with better access to advertising dollars. At that point we're just splitting hairs over what "paid to play" means. I think it's unfair to say "he wanted to get paid to play and he's a dumbass because that's not how NIL works." To get super technical it wasn't pay to play but pay to choose UNLV over a competitor.
  16. The IRS cares about people who don't pay taxes regardless of the reason. They aren't going to take a stance against NIL deals because some of them will fail or refuse to report. They'll be treated the same as any other tax cheat. There are literally millions of them out there and this might constitute a fraction of a percent of the people they're pursuing for unpaid taxes.
  17. If it was a coach making an unsanctioned promise the school and collective might be able to save some face by scapegoating the coach. They'd need to be sure not to smear the kid though.
  18. The bold is where NIL in college is different in practice. The money being exchanged (most of it at least) is not legitimately to advance the payor's business interests but to entice the best players to sign with said business owners' alma mater. Imma is correct that on paper it's an arms length business deal to promote a company, brand, etc., but everyone knows it's really about enticing players to sign with your favorite school.
  19. They have to coordinate with coaches to know who they're recruiting and their priorities. The collectives can't just offer a 5 star player a deal and force him into the program if the coach wanted someone else or had a different priority.
  20. The ones who actually care will vote Harris even if secretly. The ones virtue signaling their progressive bona fides are going to stay home, and probably were anyway, because they are essentially "both side"-ers.
  21. If a coach went rogue and made a bs promise the school is fucked perceptionwise going forward. If true the kid has every right to bail and preserve his redshirt and make some money in his final season next year. Just a mess all around.
  22. I remember when I was young (Regan era) my dad said he didn't like republicans because they only cared about businesses and not people. I think the perception has been and remains that republicans are good at business and therefore economy. They aren't looking at the graphs or listening to Bill Clinton's correct mention of job creation under republicans vs. democrats. Throw in the trump name whose celebrity was built on being a businessman and they just default to republicans are good at economy.
