    Wouldn’t want to be flying through ATL tomorrow.

    I think it’s combination of the latter two. You can still go all out for Tester. Montana media is pennies on the dollar compared to what it takes to blanket the airwaves in Texas.

    I looked it up and the video is four years old. I wonder what Mr. Carone is up to these days.

    Don’t let media companies off the hook.

    Exactly this. The NFL has no incentive to change when college football has become a minor league system that the league doesn’t have to fund. NFL owners aren’t going to kill that golden goose.

    This aged well.

    Johnson and Whitmire are cut from the same cloth.

    In a purely neutral world, let’s keep track of how quickly these charges move compared to a certain former President. ETA: I don’t know enough about Adams to have an opinion about his guilt or innocence at this time. If he broke the law, he should face the consequences.

    TCU-SMU was on the ACC’s flagship CW Sports deal for which SMU has foregone any TV revenues.

    Imma can’t make any acknowledgment, even in the abstract, that NIL has anything to do with pay for play or even pay for being able to play because that’s currently verboten. He’s smart to argue that NIL has nothing to do with a player’s ability. Acknowledging otherwise would be a problem for a booster that has an NIL deal. Imagine the blowback if he said otherwise.

    My wife does an amazing Mississippi pork roast. Pork might be cheaper than beef.

    Something definitely smells fishy and it’s not the day old crab on casino buffet.

    So much this. Funny you bring up Ferrari vs Lamborghini. While they compete in the same category, they each have a different target audience. The Venn diagram overlaps, but it’s not a perfect circle.

    This is misleading at best. Do those contracts exist? Yes. Is that the trend in contracts for marquee players these days? Nope.

    My wife is a design and marketing expert that has worked in the ultra luxury segment for a number of years. I fully understand how it works. I was originally making an offhand joke about Lamborghini seeing a race to the dealership to pick up a sports car based on seeing a 19 year old athlete driving one. And then we got a comparison between Lamborghini and Dr. Pepper which made it all worth it.

    True, but we’re also seeing a big move, especially for the big name players, to guaranteed money contracts so even if they get paid weekly, it’s a set amount no matter their production or playing time. See Dak Prescott.

    Lamborghini and Dr. Pepper are slightly different brands. I get what you’re saying, but also understand that Lamborghini, with the exception of the Urus, does not sell a ton of vehicles to someone who pops in off the street and says sell me a new Lambo. Try walking into your local Hermes store and ask to purchase a Birkin. Please post the results here or, better yet, video and post it here for the lolz.

    I don’t think anyone has thought “I ought to go down to Lamborghini of Austin and pick up a new Lambo” because they saw a Texas football player driving one.

    I’m not sure if you missed my point because I threw in the bit about the random EE major since it’s been brought up here, but I was agreeing that under current constructs the players aren’t being paid to play, but they’re market value is absolutely derived from their ability to play.
  23. royiv
    It feels like a lot of semantics being thrown around on this thread, so not to pile on to that, but I think it boils down to they aren’t getting paid to play football, but they are getting paid because they do play football. It goes back to the point that people keep trying to make of why doesn’t random EE major non-athlete get signed to a deal from a NIL collective. Welp, they don’t play football.

    Clemson is academically light years ahead of Bama.

    Seems like negligence on the part of the ship owners. I don’t know the first thing about maritime insurance policies, but are you saying the insurance companies are going to argue that they’re not on the hook if the owner didn’t keep the vessel in seaworthy condition?
