    Will remove the long ads at the beginning of YT videos and the ones that randomly pop up.

    This will automatically skip sponsored reads in YT videos - Does not skip reads in Live streams.

    Here is how the SponsorBlock works:

    The green on the length bar is sponsored reads. It automatically skips those thus cutting the video from 11:54 down to 10:35

     

     

    While I support this message, I would like to let the olds of the board know that YouTube has recently taken a very harsh stance against ad blockers. They're participating in a tactic known as CPU sweating. If an ad blocker is detected, they vastly increase cpu usage that slows down the site and deteriorates video quality as well.

  2. Report: Amazon pays LSU $1 million for rights to video project on name, image and likeness program

    Spoiler

    Amazon Prime Video recently greenlit a docuseries on LSU athletics. It will be called The Money Game and is set to follow the department’s on and off-field success for the 2023-2024 athletics seasons, with a focus on the university's name, image and likeness programs.

    According to a report by Sportico, Campfire Film & TV is paying LSU $1 million for the rights to produce show. On top of that, participating athletes would be paid a “talent fee” as a form of NIL compensation for appearing in the show. Those fees are to be negotiated between Campfire and the athletes themselves, and they’re in addition to the $1 million paid to LSU.

    Coaches who appear in the show aren’t set to receive the same kind of talent fee as the athletes involved.

    The Money Game is set to be directed by Drea Cooper. Along with Campfire Film & TV, it will be produced by Axios Entertainment and Shaquille O’Neal’s Jersey Legends, a division of Authentic Studios

    Among the LSU athletes involved in the show are All-American women’s basketball star Angel Reese, Roc Nation-signed rapper Flau’jae Johnson, Heisman-Trophy winning quarterback Jayden Daniels and gymnast Olivia Dunne.

    Each of those athletes involved will be given a contract that outlines their responsibilities as it relates to the series. On top of that, amid uncertain NIL rules, Campfire and LSU agreed on what athletes are “key participants,” and then the school is “permitting” those interviews to occur.

    Perhaps no athlete has benefited from the NIL era more than Dunne. With 12.4 million total social media followers, Dunne has a $3.5 million On3 NIL Valuation. She is also third in the On3 NIL 100, only behind Bronny James and Shedeur Sanders. That also makes her first in the On3 College Gymnastics NIL Rankings, ahead of multiple Olympic gymnasts like Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey.


    Reese has found similar success in NIL, becoming one of the best known women’s basketball players. She has a $1.7 million On3 NIL Valuation and is seventh in the On3 NIL 100. She’s not alone on the women’s basketball team, though, as Flau-jae Johnson also has a valuation of $1.1 million and is 16th on the NIL 100 list.

    In a press release for the show, it was made clear that NIL is going to be a key focus for the docuseries.

    “The docuseries follows, in real time, a historic turning point in the NCAA upon policy changes on name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights—guaranteed to shape the trajectory of college sports forever—highlighted by the surreal experiences of LSU’s top players, coaches, and administrators,” the press release stated. “LSU, the flagship university of the state of Louisiana, is one of the most iconic brands in college athletics. LSU boasts an SEC-best 51 team national championships and is currently home to three of the top-10 collegiate earners in NIL.”

    Good stuff.

    -Bo Davis really wasn't super excited about McKinley. Both of those guys winding up at LSU will be interesting. I hope Bo doesn't yell too much.

    -Jayden Jackson's agent told people that he was a $600k guy early on. No one confirmed that for him. Ultimately, OU decided they had to have him and went in with a presentation that both Ohio State and Texas heard about and said "yeah, you should go there if that's their offer" and never looked back. 

    -The story isn't that dissimilar to the TJ Lindsey-to-Auburn recruitment.

    -Texas felt like they were fine letting Becton head elsewhere.

    -Okoye was a home school guy and folks who met him referenced a "weird vibe" about the guy. It will be interesting to see how he works out for the sooners.

    -The entire Selman Bridges paragraph could be summed up like this: "He wanted to be the main priority at CB and he was going to be like the 5th DB in the class for Texas. He would rather go to a program that is in free fall because of the promise for early playing time was more important than being developed at Texas."

    -Gipson had a bad knee injury this year. Clemson is going to have to develop that absolute shit out of that guy. Good luck to both sides. I'm glad he did not wind up in UT's class. One of the more hilarious misses by Nahlin in a long line of misses. His meltdown on that one was gold.

    -You can see these guys really squinting to try to see why Texas didn't land Bussey. Other than Sarkisian being a little bit of a starfucker, Texas never made a strong push and liked other players better.

    -Aeryn Hampton profiles as a predictable bust. 

    This was a class in which Texas really did have many solid options and in many instances, decided to punt. Obviously some of those guys will work out. I'm interested in seeing how well it goes for everyone, because I think Texas got a lot of things right in this cycle.

    Do you have any insight into the late signing of Butler? was that due to Hampton flipping? Felt like literally no one knew about him till he had a commitment ceremony.

    He hates recruiting, hates the NIL/roster management elements, and just wants to coach. Rick Neuheisel's son is on staff there and Rick has been whining about the state of CFB through the lens of his alma mater and the plight of Chip Kelly and his staff for months now. 

    from the r/cfb subreddit about Chip Kelly:
