NCAA really cooked up a masterpiece here! The college football calendar, portal, and NIL are basically a three-ring circus at this point!

@lambo_raby10 Why are we paying a “Talent Fee” when we get by Vandy at HOME?

Drew Gilbert may be one of the only Vols happy to see Vitello go to the Giants🤣

[Ben Upton @Ben_Upton5]

There’s nothing wrong with college baseball teams who build there rosters from the transfer portal and NIL $

But you better be ready to fight in the postseason when a team full of players who share meal swipes, tarp their own field, and love each other come to town

Some kids watch the game from the stands, but my son is in the dugout, soaking it all in as the batboy! The start of something special! Memories that will last a lifetime! #ProudDadMoment

@BillyBerry13 killed it today at #ABCA2025 Conference today! He brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for the game, and I know many of us walked away better prepared because of his expertise! #GoKnights

Hitters….free advice coming. The most important part of ur body, while hitting, are your eyes! If u keep ur eyes as still as possible, ur chances of correct pitch recognition, go way up. How do we do that? Ur base!!! As solid as possible. If u limit lower body movement, eyes won’t move as much. Lotta lower body movement, more chance of eyes bouncing. Also, and this ties in with the eyes…..best piece of advice I ever got was from Willie Stargell….he said ‘fast feet promote slow hands, slow feet promote quick hands’. Slow feet in the stride, promote minimal eye movement and quick hands. Boom….let it eat!!!
