@DynastyDadFF I received the Burrow side

Might be the best commercial for a video game we’ve EVER seen.

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

Nah man I’ve NEVER seen a back to back MVP with worse PR than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lmaooo

Jay Williams just introduced a new segment called ‘Life Alert with SGA’ 😭💀

“Help me I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” 🤣

[Matt Sosland @CoachSosland]

@JagSays @SuperrNova38 @UriahDawkins Historically, I believe TLaw throws to his RBs at a below league average amount on 3rd down. With their group of WR and TEs, I don’t see that changing. I believe Allen had a low amount of 3rd down targets relative to his 3rd down snap count last season as well.

@DynastyDadFF @JUST_N1TRO Is Guerendo possibly the guy to get and we’re all missing it?

[Bryce Butler @bball_brainiac1]

Rajon Rondo closed his AAU timeout by preaching one thing — play off two feet.

Not a play. Not a trick. Just jump stops.

And watching his son Pierre and his teammates execute it is all the proof you need that this concept works at every single level of the game.

The jump stop puts you in control. Not the defense.

[Matt Sosland @CoachSosland]

@DynastyDadFF Thank you. I’m torn on it as well, and haven’t been able to pull the trigger on it.

[Matt Sosland @CoachSosland]

@DynastyDadFF Would you trade Baker and Hampton for Purdy and Walker? QB1 is Stafford SF TEP. Other RBs of note are Chase Brown and Henderson.

$1,200,000. College Athlete. 1099 Income.

Here’s what nobody tells NIL athletes pulling real money:

The moment your first revenue share or NIL check cleared, you became a small business owner.

The IRS doesn’t care that you’re a student-athlete in college.
They don’t care that your earning window might be just a few years.
They want their cut. Today.

Here’s what we did to keep serious money in his pocket instead of sending a check to Uncle Sam:

1️⃣ LLC taxed as an S-Corp
Put him on his own payroll and paid him a reasonable salary. The rest? Taken available as distributions.
Stops 15.3% self-employment tax from gutting every endorsement check.
→ Saves tens of thousands of dollars.

2️⃣ Maximize business deductions
Training. Recovery. Content production. Travel. Equipment. Agent and legal fees. Home office.
The real cost of running a 7-figure brand, finally run through the entity.
→ Saves tens of thousands of dollars.

3️⃣ Solo 401(k)
$24,500 employee + $47,500 employer = $72,000 deferred for retirement.
At age 20 with 45 years of compounding ahead, that single contribution can grow to millions of tax free money.
And we plan to do this every year that we’re earning 1099 income.
→ Saves roughly $26,000 per year.

4️⃣ Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax
State tax paid at the entity level. Sidesteps the federal SALT cap.
→ Saves about $30,000

5️⃣ Backdoor Roth IRA
$7,500 in. Tax-free growth for life.
At 20 years old, this is the highest-leverage account he’ll ever own.

6️⃣ Donor Advised Fund / his own Private Non-Profit
Builds a giving legacy. Aligns with his personal brand. Generates real federal deductions.
→ Saves $15,000–$40,000+, depending on giving level

Total tax savings for 2026: $150,000+

This is what we do.

Same story every time with NIL athletes earning 6 and 7 figures:

→ Treating the income like an allowance
→ Spending before structuring
→ Trusting the same tax preparer their family used for W-2 income their whole life

You’re not a college kid with a side hustle.
You’re the CEO of a 7-figure personal brand.
Your team should look like one.

The NCAA moving toward 5 years of eligibility in 5 years would be one of the most important business changes in college sports.

Not because it’s cleaner, but because it changes how schools value, recruit, develop, and pay athletes.

Here’s what it impacts:⬇️

[JUCOadvocate - Brandon Goble @JUCOadvocate]

Schools already cancelling visits saying they’re going to stop recruiting and wait out the 5 in 5 thing.

Absolute chaos.

[Luke Falk @coachlukefalk]

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story.
The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid.

The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better.

The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else.

It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch.

But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice.

You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel.

Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be.

It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start.

The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel.

In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.

[Matt Sosland @CoachSosland]

@JohnnyVenerable Minshew is getting 5 mil guaranteed while Brissett has 1.5 mil guaranteed. This is part of the problem.

If you think Minshew will be better than Brissett, I don’t know what to say.

[Matt Sosland @CoachSosland]

@chambershoops Oh man, I just saw the news about the UTRGV HC position! Congrats Coach! It feels like yesterday I contacted you about getting a kid a managers position at Nevada. Look at you now!

@Alina_with_Ai What does Claude do that Chat does not?

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

Trainers are still teaching kids 700 dribble combo moves

Meanwhile, Kon Knueppel is terrorizing the NBA as a 20 year old Rookie and barely dribbling

[Random SEC @therandomsec]

This is the funniest college basketball video I’ve seen maybe ever.
