NEW: College sports leaders are now openly calling for a higher revenue-sharing cap, collective bargaining and employment💰

Ideas once considered unthinkable are now being discussed in Congress.

Finally got a chance to read this. Really interesting piece on some of the NIL questions I’ve been thinking about (and I’m sure others have too) - where does all this money keep coming from, and what are the school/donor conversations between seasons? Great work by @brauf33

[Brian Rauf @brauf33]

College basketball rosters keep getting more expensive. Donors keep giving, knowing they won’t see a direct financial return.

Why?

I talked to donors and coaches about NIL motivation, ROI, & what programs are really selling.

More big-time early season non-con games! 🤩🤩🤩

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Breaking—A huge new event is in the works involving a majority of CBB's blue bloods, sources tell @CBSSports. It's called the Diamond Cup. The debut is planned for 2027. It's a major, unprecedented scheduling idea. Can it all come together? Let's hope so. https://t.co/GSukG6ojoJ

@TheFieldOf68 Finally, a much-needed, long-awaited portal victory for Tennessee

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

@CJMooreHoops It’s almost like this should have been foreseeable and avoidable by passing the rule before the season ended

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

@madeformarch @TonyPatelis You guys talking about Cuonzo Martin? What’d he do this time?

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

@trillydonovan The 2026 Battle at T-Mobile will be read about in history books for ages

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

@onballcreator No he’s already heading to Georgetown

@ryanhammer09 @OtterBrackets “ROLL HUMPS” goes SO crazy

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

@CBB_Central Sweet 16 starting off in flow state?

Merry Madness Eve, fellow sickos 😴

@BarstoolBigCat LOSERS

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

Yeah weird just the most loaded freshman class…ever

You guys go watch C-SPAN, leave us and our perfect tournament alone

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

None of my friends/groupchats have had any March Madness banter yet. The tournament is starting to move towards that Kentucky Derby level where people are excited about the pageantry of the event but there aren’t any stars or storylines.

Another angle of Tramon Mark's game-winner 👀

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

OH MY

ARE YOU SERIOUS

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

And that was a bad foul call followed by a “ball don’t lie” FT miss

This is a perfect First Four game

[BracketBound @bracket_bound]

WE’RE MAKING BIG SHOTS

MUST BE MARCH
