Blammm

I've been for banning it for a long time but it has nothing to do with Russia. Hero worshipping Brian Kelly days after the death of Declan Sullivan seemed inappropriate.

Cam didn't have to respond and implicitly confirm what Carr suggested.

Worst case scenario is that they pull Powlus's scholarship.

His son Oliver was in the Class of 2008.

Huge difference between being an ND Head Coach and an ND OC.

One win over Ohio State in bad weather was that whole season. They lost to Michigan State and I wouldn't put much stock in beating the Big Ten West Champion.

There are going to be very few records that will be subject to public disclosure laws if it's between players and third parties (unless schools are going to be negotiating dollars and cents, which would strike me as an NCAA violation even in the wake of the NIL ruling).

I know in the past that they've had Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Pro teams don't have to (1) prioritize anything other than on field performance and, to the extent ownership cares, maximize the owner's profits* and (2) worry about compliance with Title IX which will require football to subsidize equal opportunities in women's sports (which don't generate any net income). University of Notre Dame Athletics Programs - College Factual * Note: Not all sports team owners care enough to make a profit from their sports teams. Some see it as a tax write off or an opportunity to gain fame or feel like a part of it. The Packers wouldn't be publicly traded if it was all about profit because their ROI is garbage.

I never took issue with NIL. Make as much as you want from sponsors. But opening it up to schools cutting checks to athletes is going to inevitably become a strain on university budgets.

You honestly think that Kavanaugh is alone in that position? At a minimum, the 3 Democrat appointed justices would join him. I never said that they couldn't balance it. What I said was that non-athlete students would pay the price. Academic quality will inevitably go down as only rich students will be able to afford the ridiculous tuition that will be needed to finance a professional sports team that serves as a weekday host to some undergraduate classes in its auxiliary buildings./ The NCAA isn't stopping anyone from earning a fair market value for their skills. The NFL's 3 years out of HS rule is what is.

I'm not talking about room and board. The NIL decision strongly suggests that direct salary compensation is inevitable under antitrust law.

Kavanaugh basically wrote in his concurrence in the NIL case that they were going to have to pay them directly as well: The NCAA Should Be Scared of Justice Kavanaugh’s Concurrence | Time

Did you pay them a salary to be your classmate? Because that's where we are headed. I don't particularly care if the athletics department subsidizes the rest of the university, but we shouldn't be jacking tuition to subsidize the athletics department. Revenue from 6-7 home football games a year isn't going to stretch far enough to satisfy the creeping costs.

Are you arguing that Buchner is better than Bennett?

Those analysts aren't running players through drills and making corrections. They're analyzing tape for trends and critiques, which then get shared with the coaching staff to do their jobs. The NCAA has a hard cap on the number of coaches of each variety that you can have. See Bylaw 11.7 for more detail: 90008 (ncaa.org)

GAs can coach but not recruit [EDIT: off campus]. Analysts and coaching interns can do neither.

There aren't many "up-and-coming cool brands" that can supply all of the apparel and footwear for all of the teams in the athletics program.

Think that's just how he writes: "Pitt is a great program with great coaches and great academics and it's also in a good area which will keep me productive on and off the field." BTW... Pitt is not "in a good area".

Interestingly, he RTed this:

Polian leaving and Freeman's promotion meant a position group did not have a position coach heading into a bowl game. Only official coaches and GAs can "coach". Lezynski couldn't have done that as an analyst. It probably doesn't mean much more than that.

Even though BK is not coaching, they can't go out this season on an #*$ whooping with a walk on as QB. They either burn the redshirt or they lose any momentum they had with the hire.

As opposed to the first 6 or so games this year?

LSU's Brian Kelly still working to hire coaches, adds son, assistant to off-the-field roles - Footballscoop Lolz. What a joke!
