Why not both?

Be glad to, but let me warn you even though I will try to keep this brief, it's probably going to be a little long. First, any court approves settlements based on a weighing of equities. Almost always it is not a question of whether a claim has merit, but what is the solution that is best for...

The first half was all I could stomach so I don't know if the second half was any different. Underwood does have a canon for an arm. On the intermediate throws, the ball does get there in a hurry. He occasionally put way too much mustard on a short throw, making it difficult to catch. His...

Yea, I know. Every time I start talking to friends about this their eyes immediately glaze over. What can I say, I'm a real geek about this type of shit.

This is really interesting because just this morning I watched the Greg Olsen interview with Ryan Day (I just posted it in the Ryan Day thread). The very next thread I read was this one. Hearing Day talk about the expectations he has of his coaches and then reading Fat Tony taking his shot at...

Really interesting interview by Greg Olsen of Ryan Day. Not about football. All about culture, character, and building both. 42 minutes long but if you skip the advertisement, it's only 27 to 28 minutes of interview.

I remember watching Hornyak as a high school student. What really was incredible was his range. Only Steph Curry and Rick Mount could match his range. All the basketball games were carried on channel 4 (NBC). The announcer was Jimmy Crum and he would yell "how about that sports fan?" after a...

I really hope this means that the CSC is clarifying and amending some of their initial rules. I know from watching several of Mark Pantoni's media appearances that they needed that clarity to move forward. For example, Pantoni complained about the initial CSC rule that all revenue sharing would...

If by this you mean the House Settlement, then on this one issue we will have to agree to disagree. Contrary to conventional wisdom, not all limitations on compensation are adjudicated to be in violation of the antitrust statutes. To determine if they are courts use what they call the Rule of...

Thanks, I spent the last several years of my career negotiating multi million dollar agreements for a Fortune 500 company, so my thoughts immediately go to contract complexity (it's also why I find this stuff interesting in retirement). A football only, 30 school league certainly makes that...

Apologies for what some may feel is a little bit of a geek out and for asking the following if you've already dealt with them elsewhere, but I've been thinking about your structure since yesterday and I have a few questions. 1) Since everyone will have a separate LLC for each school and you...

I got to admit that is a very creative solution that solves all the problems. I don't see the Boards and Presidents giving up the control of "sports entertainment" right now. But if the House Settlement gets knocked down by higher courts and Congress doesn't give them a limited anti trust...

I totally agree on your on your first point. The Premier League and the leagues below are a much, much, much better analogy. I just thought baseball would be more relatable for everyone. Also there is no question a franchise that is a perennial Premier League title contender is way more valuable...

I agree that that the lawyers are chomping at the bit. But as just posted in the NIL thread that because the sports media in 2025 sucks I did a deep dive on the legal implications of the House Settlement. I found there are valid legal reasons to believe that at least the limits on NIL payments...

As I mentioned in another thread, I've been away from this board for a couple months. As such, I wasn't sure where the discussion of the House Settlement was taking place here. A search right now showed me that this was the correct thread for that discussion. So first off, I apologize for...
