Well, yeah, the guy's from UM and therefore a pompous ass, but it's an interesting take on big time college sports:

By Jordan Acker
Mr. Acker is an elected regent of the University of Michigan and served as chair from 2021 to 2022. He is a partner at the Goodman Acker law firm, and a consultant on college athletics and governance.

College sports are in a state of upheaval. As of 2025, the century-old Pacific 12 Conference will no longer exist for all intents and purposes, as U.C.L.A., U.S.C., the University of Washington and the University of Oregon have decamped for bigger paychecks from the Big Ten Conference, and Stanford and the University of California-Berkeley will henceforth compete in the now ironically named Atlantic Coast Conference.
Adjustments like these are not entirely new. Before the University of Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011, it was a member of the Western Interstate University Football Association, the Big Eight (once briefly known as the Big Six and the Big Seven), and the Big 12 Conference. But these changes used to be about regional or academic affinity. The recent creation of new national super conferences, however, is about one thing: getting the biggest television audience — and the biggest payout.
This past year, the Big Ten signed a seven-year, $7 billion contract with CBS, NBC and Fox. Football was already a huge business for many large state universities. But now that TV executives with no interest in academics are influencing these decisions, conferences that were once schools of similar academic value and region have been dragged into direct competition, regardless of the impact it has on student athletes.
This is a money grab, and a shameful time for all of us involved in college athletics and higher education. As regents, trustees, presidents and athletic directors, we promised to focus on our universities as academic institutions first and sponsors of intercollegiate athletics second. We failed.

The problem has been the lack of direction and vision from the so-called grown-ups in the room — the National Collegiate Athletic Association. For decades, N.C.A.A. member institutions have spent their valuable time arguing (and losing) before courts and pleading on Capitol Hill for special protections of their “amateur” model, in which student athletes play their sport purely for the enjoyment of the activity, all while their coaches and administrators make millions.
Most recently, the N.C.A.A. and its members spent years trying to prevent two changes to the collegiate athletics model. One was the allowance of Name Image and Likeness compensation, which is essentially the ability of student athletes to engage in and be paid for outside advertising deals. The other was the widespread use by football and basketball players of the transfer portal, a website that allows student athletes to announce their interest in switching to another college so that coaches from other institutions can reach out, as they sometimes do in mere minutes. The N.C.A.A. says both changes do grave harm to the beloved model.

While Charlie Baker, the N.C.A.A.’s president, lobbies for one unpassable bill after another, his supporters repeat talking points about how the enterprise that has mismanaged college sports for generations should be saved for the good of American society and the academic mission of universities. At the same time, the Big Ten Conference, flush with millions of dollars of new TV revenue, helped destroy the Pacific 12 Conference, a more than 100-year-old institution and for years its “sister conference.”
There is nothing amateur about a model that negotiates billion-dollar deals and pays its coaches and administrators millions while denying athletes the ability to share in the revenue or even to have a voice in determining whether these deals are a good idea. The Southeastern Conference just agreed to a 10-year, $300-million-per-year deal with Disney, which owns ESPN, for its TV rights. This hypocrisy is too much to bear.
The steps that universities like mine — large institutions with prominent athletic departments and football programs — should take are clear: First, they should meet to consider how a revenue-sharing model would work within the current structure of the N.C.A.A., and release their plan for how to grant players employee or quasi-employee status. Second, if the N.C.A.A. is unwilling or unable to help schools through this dramatic transition, they should leave and found their own organization, similar to how the English Premier League broke away from the rest of English soccer in 1992. They can create a more efficient model with a sustainable infrastructure to protect the interests of student athletes.

College football teams get chartered planes and nice hotels. But for Olympic sports like field hockey, track and field, and crew, which most athletes play, flying commercial is the norm. For a University of Michigan team to travel to a game at the University of Oregon, for example, requires over seven and a half hours of travel on Delta Airlines, with a layover in Salt Lake City or Seattle. That’s longer than a flight from Detroit to London. As part of the Big Ten Conference, a Rutgers volleyball player might fly more than 2,800 miles to compete in a game at the University of Washington on a Tuesday, before returning for a Wednesday morning exam. Calling this amateur or college athletics is simply laughable. Many student athletes rarely have the chance to step foot in a classroom, attending their classes online and taking proctored exams in hotel ballrooms near the next game site.

The only way any of it can begin to make sense is if players get a percentage of the money that conferences make off that labor.
There are a number of ways it could happen. For example, all student athletes at the University of Michigan would become employees or independent contractors of the Big Ten Conference, and would receive a percentage of the $59 million or so each member school makes per year from TV rights. Another model would involve the networks directly engaging in name, image and likeness deals with student athletes from major conferences, allowing these student athletes to make a guaranteed income without increasing their time commitment significantly. Say the Big Ten required its TV partners to share 30 percent of its revenues with its student athletes, each athlete would receive a percentage of that. At Michigan, where roughly 900 athletes compete in Ann Arbor, that would mean a wide receiver or field hockey player would get approximately $20,000 per year.

In early August, during the latest round of Big Ten expansion, I heard from leaders from across other power conferences — from university presidents to athletic directors and coaches — several of whom agreed with a plan for revenue sharing. Two current Big Ten Football coaches, Iowa’s head coach, Kirk Ferentz, and Michigan’s coach, Jim Harbaugh, have already expressed support for revenue sharing. It’s time for leaders who agree privately to help create a critical mass of support. The N.C.A.A.’s rules on revenue sharing are driven by their members; this change will not come from the N.C.A.A.’s home base of Indianapolis, but from leaders at member institutions speaking frankly about the challenges to come. It must also take into account the input of student athletes, who are too often shut out of decisions that directly affect them.

Make no mistake, the courts are judging the Big Ten Conference, and the other major N.C.A.A.’ conferences, on their behavior. As Justice Brett Kavanaugh of the Supreme Court wrote in a concurring opinion to the landmark 2021 N.C.A.A. v. Alston decision, “[n]owhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate . . . The N.C.A.A. is not above the law.”

With several other cases pending, the status quo is crumbling quickly. If the governing bodies and universities do not choose to reform soon, the courts, tired of the hypocrisy, will force their hand.

hey all, ND Fan here, just thought i'd like to chat a little bit about the game this weekend, try and give some input on ND, parking, restaurants, whatever. Not looking to talk crap or anything. Honestly, don't know much about tOSU this year other than what the highlights tell me. I use to follow CFB real close, not so much the last 3 years and just getting back into this year. Always enjoyed having conversations on other teams forums for big games, i.e. George, Clemson, etc. My general rule is though i keep it all to this one thread, seams to be better that way. Im going to try Eleven Warriors as well.

But anyway, if your interested, let me know, doesn't work out, ill leave.

Some quick initial thoughts, ill save some to see if this takes off, not really sure what to make of this game. In my heart i want to believe ND can win this, but my gut says tOSU by 1 score, 24-30 ish. There are times ND's defense looks great, other times look average. Hartman has changes this offense, but the O-line looks weaker than advertised, which i think is where the game will be lost.

Going through a few of your threads, seems like you are all pretty confident that you will leave with a victory, at all concerned about this game?

Good Luck, safe travels.

Next week is highlighted by FSU-Clemson at noon and the Buckeyes battle in South Bend at 7:30.

Does anyone have a certain tradition they do for Buckeye GameDay? Like wear the same boxers or socks, eat a peticular meal, destroy tomatoes, cry while masturbating, or drink from the same glass? Stupid shit that means nothing except to you.

Hi, does anyone know on this website how to get ahold of the 2014-2015 year in Basketball or earlier? I know on YouTube last year a YouTuber named lyfepulse was uploading about any games imaginable of college basketball including Ohio State but they got thrown off. I would like to know how to get those games a lot and hope to hear some replies back.

Thank you!

JT Daniels leaves West Virginia to enter transfer portal for a third time​

JT Daniels is the Johnny Cash of college football, as he’s been everywhere, man.

Daniels was the national high school player of the year before he joined USC his freshman year in 2018. He played in 11 games and had 2,672 passing yards and 14 touchdown passes. He would tear his ACL at the start of the 2019 season and would be replaced as the starter by Kedon Slovis. He then entered the transfer portal.

After transferring to Georgia in spring of 2020, Daniels headed to West Virginia last offseason after losing his starting job due to injury in Athens. Stetson Bennett IV took over a third of the way through last season and never relinquished the starting job at Georgia. Daniels reunited with former USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell at WVU. After a down year, Daniels is moving on.

By entering the transfer portal for a third time, Daniels has at least one year of eligibility left, and possibly two if he is granted a medical redshirt retroactively for the 2019 campaign (he should).

'It's just a great opportunity': Rice QB to make history for Owls' season opener vs. Texas​

Opening week in college football is always special, no matter how many times you've been a part of it. On Saturday, when Rice plays at Texas, one Owls player is set to be part of his sixth season opener.

Rice transfer quarterback JT Daniels started his career at the University of Southern California where he spent two seasons after becoming just the second true freshman in USC history to start at QB in a season opener. He then transferred to Georgia for two years where he was part of the Bulldogs' 2021 national championship team. Last season, JT was West Virginia's starting quarterback.

He now takes over at Rice, where he has been voted a team captain for the 2023 season. Due to an injury in 2019 and the COVID season of 2020, 2023 will be JT's sixth year of college eligibility.

When he opens his Rice tenure at Texas, Daniels is believed to be the first college player to ever start three games at Texas for three different teams. He also played in Austin for USC in '18 and West Virginia in '22.
.
.
.
Daniels' team lost both of his prior starts at Darrel K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, with USC falling to Texas 37-14 and West Virginia being defeated 38-20.

Just sayin': He lost at Texas Saturday too (37-10).

Here are the games this week. Not many compelling matchups.​

THE BEST CONTEST ON THE INTERNET IS BACK!!!!!

Once again, this will be a simple contest to participate in. Each week I will list all of the underdogs in the Div 1-A games that I see a point-spread for at the beginning of the week. Each person may pick 1 and only 1 team each week; just post your pick in this thread.

You must pick your team before the kickoff of your game. It isn't mandatory to make a pick every week, but if you don't, you obviously can't earn any points that week.

If your team wins, you are awarded the amount of points that they were assigned in the spread; if they lose you get 0 points. So it's riskier to pick Little-Sisters-of-the-Poor +47 when they play Texas Tech, but you get a ton of points if they win, as opposed to getting only a couple of points when you pick a close game.

Once I post the point spreads inside this thread, they are locked for purposes of this contest. Only the spreads listed in this thread will be used to award points.

The entire season-long contest will exist in this one thread. Each week I will post the points for that week and the season-to-date totals. Whoever has the most points after the Conference Championship Games in December will be declared the winner, and will receive ¤25,000 Sportsbook "cash".

There will be a separate contest in December for Bowl game upsets.

2021 winner: @gracelhink (75.5 points)
2022 winner: @Honor&Glory (91.5 points)
2023 winner @CMic (60 points)

This post will get the new picks and current standings updated each week. There will also be a post with that info near the end of the thread.
