I spent all day staring at the Columbus sky and not a thing. Had to be doing it wrong or something.

Looks like scUM is really kicking up the NIL offers to recruits lately. Timing seems rather convenient, like they are trying to play like things are fine and dandy before the storm hits.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Very true. I'm absolutely certain that the Vikings President--who had been in the 49ers front office during Simple Jim's time--did that whole interview charade just to publicly humiliate him as payback and never had any intention of seriously considering him for the job.

Going back to tsun's general counsel, I'm wondering if he can be subpoenaed to testify in any civil or criminal cases. Letting Weiss coach wasn't an apparent crime, so I wonder if any deliberations about the decision would be covered by attorney-client privilege. He looks very bad in all this unless he has notes detailing his objection to the decision and says he couldn't come out publicly about it because of attorney-client privilege. And is that privilege still in place with Ono gone? I'd guess the relationship is between the lawyer and the university, so the new President would have to release him to speak about it.

If the lawyer is forced into silence, I think it will go something like this. Unless there's a clear communications trail, Simple Jim and Warde will certainly say that they were never made aware of it, which would mean that Ono covered it up so Weiss could coach. What does Ono then do?

OK, Manuel says there is a $15M shortfall in scUM's athletic budget; however, there seems to be plenty of NIL money to go around.....

Them pretending cryin Sherrone is the reason these 5* guys are commiting there is funny stuff. Without the sudden NIL influx they don't even get a look from these guys.
I still think this seems like is a PR "look everything is fine" move by them to just suddenly unleash a ton of NIL at the current time to get these commitments on board.

I took a picture earlier this month of the right size hammer for the NCAA to use on scUM:

Sonny Dykes Demands Strong Action on Michigan Sign-Stealing After Blasting ‘Absurd’ CFP Agenda
The mic drop moment didn’t come in a big playoff win or a trick-play touchdown. It came in a June presser, when Sonny Dykes let it fly. No filter, no sugarcoating. Just raw honesty about the mess college football’s tiptoeing around—the Michigan sign-stealing saga, and Big10 & SEC politics. While others danced around the issue, Dykes didn’t blink. He called it what it was: a moral headache with no clear fix and a culture problem festering in plain sight. The college football world might be ready to move on. Dykes? Not so fast.
The 2024 season marked a gritty bounce-back for Dykes’ TCU squad. After a 5–7 mess in 2023, the Horned Frogs locked in at 9–4 with a bowl blowout. But when asked about the Michigan sign-stealing scandal that tainted the Wolverines’ 2023 title run, Dykes kept it unfiltered.
“I think that’s the biggest thing…I mean, you know, you’re just now seeing the Michigan thing come down, and that’s really none of my business. I don’t know anything about that. But you know, that was a long time ago. And you know, the person that was responsible for that — or most of that — isn’t there anymore. And so do you punish the people that are there? Do you punish the young people that had nothing to do with it? I mean, that’s the problem that you run into,” Dykes said. “And so it’s a complicated thing. It’s not an easy fix. But you have to do something, you know what I mean?”
Dykes voiced concern that the longer the NCAA drags its feet, the more damage it does to the credibility of the game. “If you polled college coaches right now,” Dykes continued, “Nothing’s really being done. And nothing’s been done for a long time that we’re aware of. And we’re always told, hey, there’s stuff going on behind the scenes, but nobody sees it.” That lack of transparency, he argued, only fuels the perception that programs can cheat, win, and walk away clean. When punishment gets delayed or diluted, it signals that cutting corners might just be worth it.
