Phil Knight is 83 years old, is no longer the CEO and Nike shareholders would have a problem with that. But that is also exactly one school. Again, they have been doing this for years in basketball but never football because 1) it does not make business sense from the size of the roster and 2)...

Adidas and Nike have been doing that under the table with basketball for years now, so agreed. But that's not really as much of a thing with football. How many NFL players have shoe deals? They aren't going to be giving half a college football roster 5 or 6 figure shoe deals. And we have...

I think Blake James goes beyond a dolt. However, why does everyone think these companies are lining up to get endorsements from college players? How many professional athletes in South Florida have sponsorship deals beyond maybe sneaker loyalty deals for NBA players? Not too many.

Don't think that's right. The decision is the NCAA can't ban those types of payments or benefits, not that the schools have to do any of that. You will be at a competitive disadvantage if you don't, but from what I have seen schools are not compelled to. Now, if every school does not change...

It was a truly absurd hill for the NCAA to die on. Had nothing to do with the NIL legislation or paying players and was entirely about schools paying for graduate school, computers, and other similar things. I did notice internships was included, so anticipate Nick Saban Automotive Group...

Well, we learned what can unite Americans in 2021. A hatred of the NCAA.
