There's a certain level of delusion required to build something no one else can see yet. Pressure is a privilege.

The College Sports Commission is spending an inordinate amount of time investigating specific schools for alleged rules violations that are purportedly occurring at practically every school in the country. The CSC’s mandate from the House settlement is very thin. It is trying to justify its existence and massive funding by slinging threats in the absence of subpoena power, praying it can score a “win” through the random discovery of a smoking gun. Meanwhile, every school is shifting strategy on a regular basis to more creatively circumvent the “cap” and the constantly shifting definition of an “affiliated entity.”

Want to solve the “problems” with college sports? Start with the CSC. It’s often referred to as NCAA v2. It’s worse.

The regular season is meaningless. Bowls are dead. Conference championships are dead. Regional rivalry is extinct. Conference rivalry has become a business partnership. Congrats to everyone who murdered the great American institution of college football. https://t.co/KCW5AjSKma

NEW: Tennessee AD Danny White negotiated a mock collective bargaining agreement with the Vols basketball team, @AndyStaples reports.

Some agreed-upon terms included a hard salary cap and a salary floor, postseason revenue sharing with players and bonus money for players who stay longer than two years.

Your voices were heard.

Then summarily dismissed.

It remains to be one of the most ridiculous things in sports that the company which has a broadcast deal with a conference also gets to create its own playoff format and pick and choose the teams it wants in that format.

[Anand Nanduri @NanduriNFL]

They killed bowl games, regional conferences that are a reasonable size, conference championships, and a lot of the regular season value of the sport so they could shift everything to a 24 team invitational where a 3 or 4 loss team can potentially get hot at the right time and win all for the sake of the almighty dollar. The people who run this sport don’t care about anything other than money.

I’m not going to be hyperbolic about Shedeur Sanders. I’m going to the film. I’ll form my opinion for facts, no bias.

The deep throws to Boston and Concepcion created chunk plays, but what impressed me most was his execution in late-game situations, particularly when the pressure was highest.

The Saints executed one play better, but Shedeur showed that the preparation he puts into these moments is paying dividends.

There’s plenty to unpack. #FilmDontLie

[BuffsBlog.com @buffsblog_com]

In July 2023, at the peak of Deion mania, Aflac quietly added an escape clause to its CU contract if Sanders leaves.

Then Ford. Then Blenders. And more.

The people with money on the line were hedging.

PLUS: the bowl ultimatum, a Butkus-caliber LB, and why it won't be Eck. 👇

Our Lady of the Lake is launching a football program, with its first season in the NAIA's Sooner Conference set for 2027. With startup costs backed by a donor, OLLU hopes the team will create new opportunities amid enrollment and budget challenges. https://t.co/5ZI9TjFPZF

It’s hard to argue a federal law needs to cap college athlete payroll when buyouts like this are being paid to assistant coaches.

Tulane AD David Harris releases a statement in the wake of Green Wave’s 60-10 home loss to Tulsa. He says the performance was “unacceptable, and far below the standard that we have come to expect in recent years.” https://t.co/kzMKTsDCwy
