@JTERogan Genuine question for clarity: under NCAA bylaws, room & board is part of the athletics grant-in-aid. Are you saying some schools are reducing that aid and replacing housing support with NIL/rev share, or is this about additional money on top of the scholarship?

Excited to be part of the 2025–26 Earl Edwards Inclusive Development Program.

Looking forward to learning with this cohort.

Thank you @NAADDevelopment @NACDA, @JamarThompson45, and @CamTrudell.

I’d like to announce that my recruitment is now 100% open, and I am no longer committed to the University of Akron. Please respect my decision as my focus remains on finishing my current season & competing in the state championship. @On3Richie @247Sports @RivalsHS

Since October, I’ve been exploring what’s next for my career.

While deep in interviews, I recently was invited to speak to 150+ @UOSOJC students on entrepreneurship (thanks @damianradcliffe!).

Grateful for the journey ahead

🚨 BREAKING: A new bill just dropped that would let college athletes unionize + collectively bargain.

Today, Congress is weighing two competing visions for the future of college sports. More in the thread below (1/6) 🧵⬇️

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

On a potentially historic day on Capitol Hill - when an all-encompassing college sports bill could advance out of committee - two Democrats are reintroducing a bill that does permit what many within the industry crave: collective bargaining with athletes

@SenatorCantwell @Vol_Sports @AD_DannyWhite This could be the most important day in the history of college sports labor rights.

Which model wins:
— Bargaining tables 🧑‍⚖️

or

— NCAA guardrails 🏛️

All good things must come to an end.

My time with @TempleUniv working for @Temple_FB in Player Development & Business Development (NIL) has been a surreal experience. Every moment has been a lesson in growth and impact.

Excited & grateful for what’s next for me!

House v. NCAA settlement is a big step forward, but some athletes stayed on scholarship but were barred from school-run NIL programs due to medical retirement, roster status, or other policies.

If NIL is about fair access, I wonder how these cases will be handled.
