The Sorsby ruling is the best example yet of how the NCAA operating model is built on a house of cards.

You don’t get the power of a pro sports league, to legally enforce rules that place limits and restrictions on athletes, without the requisite labor relationship.

Since I'm the cashier, I'm just applying my employee discount. That's how it works, right?

[Matt Schick @ESPN_Schick]

The judge's decision on Brendan Sorsby is indicative of where we are.

We've confused compassion & empathy with excusing behavior. This is what happens when the person who broke the rules is increasingly viewed as the primary victim.

Accountability is now cruelty.

Embarrassing.

Wether they are good or bad, these fanbases are the most welcoming of them all. I'm sure everyone agrees

@EMAWCaleb @LifeofFitz Exactly! This is why it's hard for most fans to get behind NIL. We are used to cheering for men on the field that shared our love for K-State and called themselves K-Staters. That is about gone now and it's hard to cheer for hired guns that don't give a crap about the school.

More extensive look at Big 12 FY25 data, both EADA and available MFRS data (see screenshot tables):

"Actual Athletic Profitability" (Generated Revenue - Tot Expenses):
K-St: $12.6
Iowa St: -$1.8
Ok St: -$5.4
Kansas: -$6.4
Utah: -$7.9
WVU: -$10.7
Texas Tech: -$13.9
UCF: -$26.0
Arizona: -$34.2
Colorado: -$43.3
Houston: -$47.3
Cincy: -$52.6
ASU: -$54.4
** K-St is the only Big12 public school to acheive net "Profitablility" by having the 3rd LOWEST Expenses & receiving NO subsidies (I'm sure they'd love to be dealing with a larger Revenue/budget/Expenses though...)

Total Subsidies (in millions;MFRS):
ASU: $59.7
Cincy: $51.7
Colorado: $43.5
Houston: $41.2
Arizona: $36.8
UCF: $31.2
Texas Tech: $14.8
Utah: $12.6
WVU: $8.1
Kansas: $1.9
Iowa State: $1.8
Ok St: $0.1
K-St: $0.0

Subsidies include:
-Student Fees
-Direct or Indirect Institutional Support
-Any Governmental Support

**Private schools don't make MFRS data public. The MFRS data is more detailed and transparent, but available EADA data is included for all schools as a reference and to get a "ballpark" figure for the private schools to slot them into the leauge data (the recruiting figures for EADA and MFRS are pretty consistent FWIW)

The face of college sports is the coaches. The players come and go quickly.

Completely different than the pros.
