  1. I think this speaks more to his network and ability to collect and decipher trustworthy datapoints than actually evaluating coaches.
  2. Swap "my parents" with "I" and you've got my most egregious parenting blunder. I knew what it wasn't, but boy were my 5yo and I surprised to learn what it was.
  3. UT-Dallas and Houston. Depending on your degree path, Houston can be a great school. The entire list also includes Arkansas, blOU, OSU, LSU, and aggy. Source: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/search?location=78717&distance=500&acceptanceRateMin=60&_sort=rank&_sortDirection=asc
  4. Here are a few players that are almost exactly the same size as recruits: Breckyn Hager Jeffrey McCulloch Joe Ossai (Kreul is an inch shorter) The pendulum swings willy nilly
  5. Mainly, it's that Athens police pulled over a uga football player and included that charge. I think we can safely assume that it's a charge in lieu of something much more damaging.
  6. Busted for a pipe, an ounce and a half of weed, and.......holding his phone? That last bit seems odd.
  7. With the exception of the helmet stripe, do. not. hate. Jury is out on the pointillism
  8. *Helobious checks his notifications* To keep coming back for more is crazy cuck energy.
  9. Answered your own question here. When Karic took his t-rex arms to Tennessee, he learned a new position and won the job. We were not relying on him as a backup tackle at the time.
  10. You're saying the same thing. Lotta this energy
  11. Oh cool, someone else's legacy. It'd be nice to pee in uga's pool again.
  12. Stealing from charities has always been on his list of resume skills. The timing is actually hilarious.
  13. You’d be a real dick to do that. Risk is a long ass game. They’ll never want to play with you again.
  14. No, but I prefer it to a single, repeated abortion in perpetuity. A revolving door of gimmicks is far superior to suffering through this and it's inverse 12x annually.
  15. Weird/fun/outlandish/blinding shit >>> boring shit Imo, every year there are ~5 great core unis, ~10 more good ones, and the rest land somewhere between boring and GAH. In a perfect world, every team has a kickass uni that is simple and unique and makes sense without an accompanying handbook written by marketing, but that's not real life. Instead, we just get iterations of this season's Nike template. Mocking the hackery of chokelahoma gray and tech's Texas flag bullshit is most of the fun.
  16. As they should. As should any other school without great uni tradition. Let the peons have their fun. There is literally zero downside to rolling out insane alts every season, unless they are an actual attempt at great uniforms. I'm not a huge baseball fan, and am certainly not following my local minor league team beyond catching a couple games a season, but I for damn sure have one of these hanging in the closet with the matching hat to boot. I'm a big fan of the outlandish alts for no other reason than most CFB unis are shit.
  17. *Rivals' number 1 QB. thesearenotthedroidsyourelookingfor.gif.
  18. I had ChatGPT whip up a summary of everything published about how the Fair Market Value test will be applied. Spot checked the sources and feel good about the accuracy, but take with a grain of salt. What we actually know so far about Deloitte’s fair-market-value (FMV) test Level What gets checked How it works Key references Trigger Any third-party NIL agreement worth $600+ and involving an “associated” payor (booster, collective or other donor-linked entity) Athletes must upload each qualifying contract to NIL Go no later than three business days after signing. Non-associated or sub-$600 deals skip the FMV screen. (nilrevolution.com, swimswam.com, cbssports.com) Step 1 – Payor Association Verification Is the company/individual primarily supporting the school? Have they donated ≥ $50 k? Do they employ a trustee, coach or collective officer? If “yes,” the payor is deemed associated and the deal moves to Step 2. (nilrevolution.com, burr.com) Step 2 – Valid Business-Purpose Verification Does the payor have a genuine commercial reason to use the athlete’s NIL (ads, appearances, content, etc.)? Schools must examine payor identity, invoices, deliverables and timing; blatant recruiting inducements are flagged. (burr.com) Step 3 – Range-of-Compensation Analysis Deloitte applies a 12-factor matrix (see next section) to see whether the payment falls inside a data-driven “reasonable range.” Past college and pro-athlete deals supply the comps; roster value and recruiting bounties are explicitly excluded. (nilrevolution.com, laborandemploymentlawcounsel.com, burr.com) Outcome labels Cleared · Information needed · In review Anything short of “cleared” lets the athlete ① renegotiate, ② cancel, ③ proceed at their own eligibility risk, or ④ appeal to a neutral arbitrator (target 45-day turnaround). (nilrevolution.com, essentiallysports.com) The 12 factors Deloitte says it weighs Athlete’s individual marketability & social-media reach Athletic performance and overall public profile Type, scope and frequency of deliverables (posts, appearances, etc.) Geographic market size and local demand Deal duration Any exclusivity terms Possibility of renewals or extensions Comparable market benchmarks for similar athletes and activations Degree of donor/booster involvement Timing relative to recruiting, transfer windows or eligibility decisions Quality and completeness of supporting documentation Red-flag indicators of inducement or sham purpose (laborandemploymentlawcounsel.com) A handful of practitioner memos bundle those into three broader buckets—athlete metrics, deal mechanics, and market context—but the raw dozen above comes straight from the settlement guidance Deloitte circulated in May. (elawfirm.org) What hasn’t been published Weightings & formulae. Deloitte calls its scoring model “proprietary” and has not disclosed how the 12 inputs are weighted or what percentile constitutes an “outlier.” Exact comparables database. We know it blends Opendorse, INFLCR and pro-athlete licensing data sets, but not the relative proportions. Arbitration precedent. No FMV decision has reached arbitration yet, so there is no public case law to show how often NIL Go can be overturned. Bottom line Everything public to date points to a three-step gateway focused mainly on associated (i.e., booster-funded) money rather than mainstream brand endorsements. The 12-factor grid is meant to mimic how talent-valuation firms price professional sponsorships, but until the first round of deals (post-July 1) cycles through NIL Go and the new arbitration track, the real-world thresholds remain an educated guess.
  19. My understanding is the money given to TOF rolls into AD revenue and will be allocated to the $20.5M allotted for rev share. Happy to be corrected, but that's my understanding.
