****, how much is everyone getting paid?

Those fines correlate to an EFL Championship level fine - and those guys are paid £500K+ a year (that being the low end).

Are we really ridiculing their celebration of a national title in what is supposed to be one of the worst winter storms in years? Even if there was no bad weather, THAT is what we're doing? Busting on them for not knowing how to celebrate a title?

Sorry, just plain weak. Good game, they ended up with more points, onto 2026.

Or maybe 30k Indiana fans wanted an excuse to fly to Florida in winter ahead of one of the worst winter storms in years.

Any Hollyweird types here?

How do they "union" child actors?

Contracts/agreements are unenforceable with minors correct?

So what would the mechanism be for early enrollees?

Everything else has been solved.

Pretty sure the parents sign, no different than parents having to sign a letter of intent or at the doctor's office. Then it's usually held in a trust or something until the child is an adult. I'm sure this happens all the time with MLB and NHL with younger players.
