    HS Recruiting is Close to Flopping

    This is exactly how most schools view it. It’s a floor, not a cap. Everyone is going back under the table with their deals in addition to the revenue sharing.

    House settlement approved

    I think schools not named Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and Oregon are in the fight of their lives over the next ~5 years (maybe less!) to remain in the P2 (whatever it’s called next…) when the next round of power consolidation takes place. Teams will be leaving the Big Ten whether they have...

    Duh, any school who doesn’t will be tossed out of the big ten

    Illinois signs Bielema to 6 year extension

    It does. Just like his last extension two years ago.

    2026 CB Joshua Sims flips commitment from Northwestern to Tulane

    Well they just lost a bunch of USG contracts, so they’ll have plenty of junior associates available to throw at it 😂

    2026 CB Joshua Sims flips commitment from Northwestern to Tulane

    The big difference is NIL has to go through a clearing house to confirm its actual market value for each deal instead of enticement. So a kid can get an endorsement deal from a company or a booster business, but the deal has to be worth what it “should” be worth. Most schools with big boosters...

    2026 CB Joshua Sims flips commitment from Northwestern to Tulane

    You’re essentially describing more or less the same system that exists now, which is the point I was trying to make. I don’t think much changes after House at the P4 level. The tiers you’ve described exist today and they’ll exist within the same hierarchy more or less.

    2026 CB Joshua Sims flips commitment from Northwestern to Tulane

    I don’t think that’s really true, though. It will just go back to under the table payments on top of the capped “above the table” payments sanctioned under the house settlement. P4 teams who want to stay competitive have all been telling their donors that. Once House hits, it’s back to how it...

    2026 CB Joshua Sims flips commitment from Northwestern to Tulane

    Can’t be, NU has top half of the conference NIL money.

    New NIL commission coming?

    The free market strongly contradicts this.

    Surely Big Ten money opens doors, right?

    Brendan Sullivan CHOKE JOB at the Music City Bowl

    In hindsight, he sorta didn’t do you any favors. Forced them to make him the permanent replacement, when perhaps hiring a more qualified coach would’ve been better in the long run. He caught fire for a month and a half with another coach’s roster and staff, but the (small sample size) evidence...

    B1G Portal transfers tracker

    They’re a small vocal minority. And I think most didn’t want him fired or think they could easily upgrade, but they were critical (fairly) about a somewhat disappointing finish after a good start to the year.
