Check the footage of all of the Pi Beta Phi rush events across the Midwest over the past two years. If there’s a place they would be together, it would be there and then. Apparently, they have a type and Pi Beta Phi is it.

If you’ve gotta have a type, that’s one hard to argue with.

Has anyone ever seen Mike Tomlin and Sherrone Moore in the same place?!

He's still a douchebag; however, now it looks like he will be Bill O'Brien's douchebag.....

Unless he’s the one who blew the whistle on the cheating. I still (like to) think he may have been the source.

They used NIL deal of $7.5mil to get him to return to school. NIL can’t be used to induce players to go to any school. It’d be no different than OSU saying they’d offer him $7.5mil to come to Columbus. Tampering is tampering. If they let him make his own decision to stay in school then that’s different, but they clearly offered him at a time when he was considering declaring

That’s a lot of money to be buried in Columbus Ohio

IDK, maybe there is also the chance that the NCAA comes back and says no, you shouldn't be able to play sometime before next season.

Just sayin': Everyone agrees that under the NCAA's existing rules for a medical hardship waiver he isn't eligible for another year. Puff Johnson is arguing that the current NCAA rules for a medical hardship waiver violate the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and Ohio's Valentine Act, and shouldn't apply. As I understand it he is (basically) claiming that (collectively) his injuries over several seasons have cost him significant NIL money and he should be entitled to another season of eligibility to recoup those (alleged) NIL losses, etc. I just can't see the NCAA caving on this. If the courts eventually rule against the NCAA on this it will open up another round of class action suits against the NCAA by all past players effected, etc.

In this case, it's, "quit like a champion today."

Penn State won 32-3.

Insane.

It seems different to me. That was his current school talking to him, rather than an outside school tossing numbers at a player before he entered the portal.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

We need to pay more. Can't blame coordinators lagging for 2 or 3 times the salary. Coach Hayes would frown mightily at the gap in pay

Oh my lord Tomlin dunked all over Embid! God he can fly

Just sayin': Anyone else remember the Brockermeyer twins; i.e. Tommy was a 5 star OT and James was a 4 star IOL? They both went to Alabama and then transferred to TCU. Tommy is out of football now due to injuries and James is the starting center for the Hurricanes. Here's an interesting story of how Sonny Dykes tried to keep James; however, he was outbid by the Hurricanes. It probably a common occurrence with NIL these days; however, the NIL bidding process with the players is not getting a lot of print.

How TCU and a famed Fort Worth football family broke up over NIL money

The Brockermeyer family is one of the most prominent football names in the history of Fort Worth, but its connection to TCU was severed over a few hundred thousand bucks. Center James Brockermeyer should be finishing his final season of college football at TCU, with his twin brother,

Tommy, having recently earned his degree from TCU. Older brother Luke would likely still be on staff as an assistant coach.

Instead, all three alums of All Saints Episcopal School no longer have any ties to TCU football.

Father Blake Brockermeyer is a graduate of Arlington Heights, the University of Texas, and was a first-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in the 1995 NFL draft. He played nine seasons before he retired to Fort Worth after the 2003 season.

In February 2023, Dykes hired Luke Brockermeyer as a graduate assistant coach.

Following the 2023 season, during which James was mostly a backup at Alabama, he transferred to TCU, where he would be reunited with his brothers on the same team.

In March 2024, Tommy Brockermeyer retired from football because of injuries. TCU said it would honor the scholarship. Early in the 2024 season, when James was the starting center, he openly talked about how much fun it was for his entire family to be so close where they could be together, and attend games.

He had one season of eligibility remaining, and as such, one of the most decorated football families in Fort Worth would strengthen its tie to TCU.

However, late in the 2024 season, people associated with the Miami Hurricanes football team contacted Blake Brockermeyer about James, who had established himself as a solid Big 12 player.

Miami was willing to offer James a few hundred more thousand than what TCU was paying him.

Realizing this was his son’s best opportunity to make money playing football, Blake asked Dykes if TCU could at least match Miami’s offer for James. TCU did match the offer, and the staff believed this was potential departure was prevented.

Miami people then came back to Blake and increased the offer for James. In turn, Blake reached out to TCU again to match. At this point, Dykes said no.

This was all going on during the practice weeks leading up to TCU’s appearance in the New Mexico Bowl; Brockermeyer was practicing with the team to play in the game. When TCU declined to match for James Brockermeyer, he left the team to transfer to Miami, which forced Dykes and TCU to play a new player against Louisiana in the bowl game.

Shortly thereafter, TCU and Dykes did not ask Luke Brockermeyer to remain on his staff. Tommy had already earned his degree.

“In the moment I was irritated, mostly because of the timing of it all; I could have used those practices for another player,” Dykes said. “When it’s all said and done, I am OK with it. I truly wish him nothing but the best.

“I was upset, but I’m not mad at him. I’ll watch for him, and I want him to succeed.”

When asked about his relationship with Blake Brockermeyer at the moment, Dykes said, “It’s probably a little frosty, but give it time, and I’ll get over it.”

Dykes made a similar decision for defensive tackle Damonic Wiliams, who repeatedly kept coming back to TCU asking for money as he was pursued by other Power Four conference teams. TCU appeased Williams multiple times but eventually said no, and in May 2024 he transferred to Oklahoma, where he is a senior starter.

In the era of the transfer portal, and NIL money, these stories are common.

If he does win his court case, why waste your last year of eligibility on a half season? It would seem more logical to wait for next season and the NIL that would come with it.

Ohio State Wide Receivers Coach Cortez Hankton Set to Make $900,000 in 2026, $1 Million in 2027​

According to documents obtained by The Columbus Dispatch's Joey Kaufman, the new Ohio State wide receivers coach is set to make $900,000 in 2026 and $1 million in 2027.

Compared to Ohio State's 2025 assistant coach salaries, Hankton's $900,000 salary exceeds those of quarterbacks coach Billy Fessler, linebackers coach James Laurinaitis, running backs coach Carlos Locklyn, and tight ends coach Keenan Bailey. It matches last year’s salaries of safeties coach Matt Guerrieri and offensive line coach Tyler Bowen, though their salaries are set to increase to $1 million in 2026, per the terms of their contracts from last year.

OHIO STATE'S 2025 ASSISTANT COACH SALARIES
According to USA TODAY's salary database, Hankton made $1 million at LSU in 2025 as the Tigers' wide receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator.

Watching Ped and Iowa right now.

Ped is up 13-3 after 5 matches. It's essentially over already. Not too many bonus points so far, Iowa is wrestling tough, but they are just outgunned.

edit: updated score....I don't know why I typed 17 when I clearly meant 13
