Maryland Terrapins
You ain’t gotta like me, just respect my mind. And, this how I’m eatin’ now, so respect my grind. I gotta go to work.
Funny, no NCAA administrators are calling for a “national standard” or government regulation of conference realignment. They just want to regulate the athletes’ money. How transparent can you be?!
Sources: The ACC and other leagues have made inquiries — through back channels — to Oklahoma and Texas. The schools are still expected to start the process of joining the SEC next week. The Texas and OU backchannel communication to the SEC has been going on for more than a year.
Of course, it’s not about money, but “student athlete welfare.” This is, and always has been, pro sports. https://t.co/ldYEtTHndD

“(Remaining Big 12 schools) pledged during a call on Thursday evening that they would try to stay together, but are planning for an alternate future in the meantime.”
Breaking: Texas and Oklahoma will inform the Big 12 of their exits on Monday, with plans to bolt for the SEC, multiple sources told The Athletic.

She wants to buy new shoes and a new bag. She can call her home girls up, straight brag. I gotta go to work.
Congrat's to Tom Manger newly appointed Chief of the US Capitol Police. Impeccable credentials, and someone who will steady the ship and get the job done.Great choice for a tough job, Tom will get it done.
Funny, no federal legislation was necessary for coach salaries, media rights deals, facilities spending, apparel deals, commissioner pay, or any other aspect of the industry. Yet, “fair competition” only applies to athletes. What nonsense.
Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren says NIL "needs federal legislation."

When Giannis Antetokounmpo went viral with a 50-piece order at Chick-fil-A today, I knew I needed to talk to someone on the inside. Like, an employee. So I called the store. Enjoy the inside story of a 20,000-calorie order.

So much for “the players aren’t worth much” argument. And, by the way, the school’s brand is a major factor in how much coaches make, too.
Nick Saban says Bryce Young is approaching "almost seven figures" since new NIL rules passed 😳

CamSoda, an adult webcam company, says it’s looking for NCAA athletes to sign endorsement deals to represent the XXX brand.
Here’s an idea…each conference can govern itself. It’s not difficult. Funny, each conference can cut its own media rights deals and networks. It can fashion its own rules. It’s simple: the only nationwide standard should be “full-time student.” https://t.co/fUmSEIIgbn
RT @achristovichh: To "defend amateurism":
- NCAA spent $68 million on legal fees. $34.8 million were for the Alston case, according to NCAA spokesperson.
- NCAA spent $500k on lobbying
RT @ByBerkowitz: Over 40 U.S. Olympians are especially well-positioned to leverage NCAA's new NIL setup, led by women's gymnasts who, according to NCAA, now can keep money from post-Oly exhibition tour. @AlyssaHertel with the story: https://t.co/dcRacZYqJR
RT @ByBerkowitz: Over its past six fiscal years, the NCAA has reported a total of $252.1 million in outside legal expenses and $69.1 million in legal-cost-insurance recoveries. https://t.co/qQDt3VMubj
Let this sink in…$68 Million of the players’ money spent in legal fees fighting to continue violating federal antitrust law. And, the two architects of that losing strategy, Emmert and Remy, took home almost $5 Million. Remember, there’s not enough money. https://t.co/cwjQWEgr3I
Since the street can be the judge and the jury, before I go out like a sucker, keep the fame and the jewelry. I gotta go to work.
