He fits the Holtmann mold.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

The schools have so over inflated the price of the education that everyone has to reconsider the ROI of a college degree now.Unfortunately the money has now become more important than the quality of education that the "student"- athletic gets.
Don’t blame NIL, athletes or parents.

I just read on the Penn State forums that Zack Ryder has hit the portal. They mad…bigly. They bigly big mad. He was projected to be their replacement for Starocci. After Welsh committed to Penn State, Starocci sent out a tweet, “Zack Ryder all day baby” then deleted it. 
But…at the end of the day, their omniscient, walk on water, lord and savior Cael Sanderson made it so and so it was good. Maybe we swap wrestlers, but he probably goes to Okie State like Facundo did.

Texas A&M can’t ban “Draggieland” drag show, federal judge rules
:quality(75)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/16618fba1ff8923059d05b3dd139deda/0306%20Draggieland%20Ban%20Protest%20IS%2011.jpg)
Judge Lee H. Rosenthal said the student group that organizes Draggieland, the Queer Empowerment Council, was likely to succeed in showing the ban violates the First Amendment.
A federal judge has temporarily blocked Texas A&M University System from enforcing a ban on drag shows being held at its special event venues.
The ruling allowed Draggieland, an event scheduled for March 27 at the flagship university’s Rudder Theatre in College Station, to go on as planned.
Draggieland is an annual pageant where contestants wear clothing or makeup that often, but does not always, run counter to their expected gender identity. The contestants dance and answer questions afterward about what drag and LGBTQ culture means to them. It has repeatedly sold out the 750-seat venue since it started in 2020.
In her March 24 ruling, Judge Lee H. Rosenthal said the student group that organizes Draggieland, the Queer Empowerment Council, was likely to succeed in showing the ban violates the First Amendment.
“Anyone who finds the performance or performers offensive has a simple remedy: don’t go,” Rosenthal wrote.
The students said while their fight isn’t over, they were overjoyed by the decision and vowed to share that joy by putting on the best show possible.
Plaintiff’s argument
The Queer Empowerment Council sued after the system’s board of regents passed a resolution Feb. 28 banning drag performances across all 11 campuses. The council argued that the public universities are not allowed to censor student performances based on their personal dislike of its content or perceived ideology.
Defendant’s argument
The regents said they were trying to comply with recent executive orders issued by President Donald J. Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott telling agencies not to promote “gender ideology” or else they could lose funding from the federal and state government.

Re: Right after winning Super Bowl XXI: NY Giants' linebacker Pepper Johnson and tackle William Roberts were responsible for the most creative post-game celebration, doing a funky disco dance at midfield moments after the game ended. Calling it “The Dog,” they said it was a dance they learned at a fraternity party while they were teammates at Ohio State.
I remember seeing that ↑ and John Madden (TV commentator) commented on the midfield dance by Johnson/Roberts: "It doesn't get any better than that and they'll remember it the rest of your life".
Just sayin': You you are right, but I wonder how much value most college football football players but on a possibility of a celebration experience; especially having never experienced one. Most college students probably believe something to the effect of...

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 17 Straight B1G Titles)
- By ScriptOhio

Just sayin':
1) All players have to have their tuition paid for (i.e. covered). If they aren't on a full athletic scholarship they could get other scholarships/grants too based on academics and/or financial need, etc. In addition, there are now NIL opportunities too.
2) The way I read it is the 2025/2026 D1 tennis teams can only have 10 players and they can (but don't have to) award 10 scholarships. If money is tight in the school's athletic department, they could give a player a partial scholarship (or even none at all). With that in mind I'm guessing that no top rated player will be playing at a D1 school in 2025/2026 without a full scholarship. With the competition and the transfer portal I'm pretty sure that another school will be more than willing to offer that player a full ride plus (maybe) evn a NIL deal too..
3) The issue with Ohio State for 2025/2026 (as I see it) is 12 2025/2025 players eligible for another year and an incoming Freshman which could result in exceeding the 10 player limit with. I'm sure that this situation isn't unique to Ohio State; undoubtedly many other D1 tennis teams have well over 10 tennis players possibly returning too. I've also seen articles alluding to the possibility of being able to "grandfather in" these players that were already on the team, etc.

New NCAA Men’s Tennis Scholarships Limits
Starting in the 2025-2026 academic year, the NCAA will eliminate D1 scholarship limits if a proposed settlement is approved, enabling all sports to distribute scholarships more flexibly among athletes. This change is expected to have a significant impact on college tennis recruiting. More details and the latest updates here. These changes will impact men’s tennis recruits in the following ways:- D1 men’s tennis programs will be allowed to offer 10 scholarships, up from the current limit of 4.5.
- D1 men’s tennis will have a maximum roster limit of 10.
- D1 tennis is already an equivalency sport and will continue to offer both partial and full scholarships to recruits.
Men’s tennis scholarships by division level
| Division Level | Number of Teams | Total Athletes | Current Average Team Size | 2025-26 Roster Limit | Current Scholarship Limit | 2025-26 Scholarships Limit* | Scholarship Type |
| NCAA D1 | 236 | 2.395 | 10.1 | 10 | 4.5 | 10 | Equivalency |
| NCAA D2 | 153 | 1,670 | 10.9 | N/A | 4.5 | 4.5 | Equivalency |
| NCAA D3 | 302 | 3,434 | 11.4 | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| NAIA | 87 | 1,007 | 10 | N/A | 5 | 5 | Equivalency |
| NJCAA | 58 | 526 | 9 | N/A | 9 | 9 | Equivalency |
*Scholarships Limit Per Team: This is a maximum limit that the NCAA places on the number of full-ride equivalent scholarships that a team can award. When an NCAA Division 1 and Division 2 tennis program is fully funded, college coaches have a maximum of 10 and 4.5 full-ride equivalent scholarships to award, respectively. While it is not impossible to receive a full-ride tennis scholarship, these are generally reserved for international athletes. Division 3 and Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships. Instead, recruits can look to academic scholarships for financial funding.
**Equivalency Scholarship: Equivalency scholarships allow college coaches the flexibility to divide up their scholarship budget however they see fit each year. This means fully funded NCAA Division 1 and 2 programs can take the 10 and 4.5 full-ride equivalent scholarships and divide the budget to award a partial scholarship to each athlete on the roster. College coaches can also choose to award larger scholarships to fewer roster holders, which would leave some athletes with no financial funding. Programs that aren’t fully funded have fewer than 10 and 4.5 equivalency scholarships.
