Most every (maybe all) P5 schools are now pimping highly-recruited athletes to every conceivable business in the area or associated donors. The athletic department staff ought to ask for pay raises given this added job requirement. They were already doing that though. Except now there’s no deceptio...

i know. it's the ethics, isn't it. ends justify means. Exactly right. Although I suspect that you might think it’s okay for a school, athletic department, and apparel agency to take advantage of an athletes NIL and never compensate the athlete.

I noticed a KU fan posted a pic of a mostly empty Bramlage. Interesting, considering all of the empty seats they normally have for their f...

I was impressed by the speed across the board of both the Tide and the Dogs. That's where they are well above the average. You can only recruit speed, not coach it.
