@SportsBizMiss I cried. I fully intend on crying from 9-noon next Saturday.

More lawsuits to come.

[Sam C. Ehrlich @samcehrlich]

She finds that the revenue sharing cap is a reasonable compromise... and regardless she says that class members will still be able to sue for claims arising out of the Pool cap... which is an interesting interpretation of the release clauses. Very interesting.

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

And there it is.

[College Sports Litigation Reporter @collegesportlit]

@A_Henderson31 @MasonAthletics @MasonAD_MLewis Congrats, Ashton! What a hire for @MasonAthletics!

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

@tedcahill Great hire though

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

Some thoughts on the Dept of Ed decision: (1) I think it's possible new admin reverses course almost immediately; (2) schools will consider employment of athletes, which is not subject to the same "financial assistance" proportionality requirements; or (3) football and men's basketball will get spun off from college sports/university control

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Significant news out today from the US Dept. of Ed, which classifies future revenue distributions from a school to an athlete for his/her NIL rights as “financial assistance,” which “must be made proportionately available to male and female athletes” or risk violating Title IX.

[Sportico @Sportico]

BREAKING: NIL money must be Title IX compliant, the Department of Education has ruled.

Tyree Wallace has been an amazing client, change-maker, and friend. Today he shares his story with ⁦@jaketapper⁩ on CNN after 26 years of wrongful incarceration and shares the amazing things he has planned for the next chapter!

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

@_willcompton Many reputable agents are taking 0 on collective deals, and then a negotiated percentage (10-30%) on off field endorsements. I've seen some 1-5% on collective deals if the agent is taking an active role in negotiating the amount rather than just reviewing a form agreement.

More on how the NCAA perceives the schools functioning that opt-in and opt-out of the House settlement

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

The NCAA today sent to members a second Q&A related to the House settlement. The 8-page document is intended to be a starting document. More information will be made available at a later date.

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

A lot of comments about how no one would play. Simple fix: incentivize them. Get sponsors to put up $50M in prize money that is 50/50 rev share/NIL between school and athletes, that was say $2M for each school for participating, then stair-step up for each win. Eyes would watch

[RedditCFB @RedditCFB]

CFP NIT, who says no? 👀

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

@xx_Gory @Pogitoed @Jcumberland__ @joelklatt I don't necessarily have a problem with that. You'll get the same gripes from people that you've artificially inflated seeds such that now Texas and Georgia have a worse second round opponent than No. 1 Oregon, as both potential second round opponents are ranked below Ohio State

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

I've seen all the complaints about Oregon's path vs Penn State's path. The flaw is in giving byes to conference winners.

The fix is this: Give the 5 AQs, but seed them 1-12. Then Boise, SMU, ASU, and Clem would be seeds 9-12 in that order and would be the 4 road teams in the first round. Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Penn State would be your four byes.

Clem @ ND to play Penn St
ASU @ Ohio St to play Texas
SMU @ Tenn to play Georgia
Boise @ Indiana to play Oregon

Solves all the gripes of the path to the title for Oregon, who put together the best regular season by far.

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

Right, if you do AQs and seed them 1-12, Boise, SMU, ASU, and Clem would be seeds 9-12 in that order and would be the 4 road teams in the first round. Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Penn State would be your four byes.

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

The issue isn't with rankings or re-seeding, it's that the 3 and 4 seeds aren't the 3rd and 4th best teams because of the tournament's format. (If they win) Penn State and Texas will both be favored in the second round game as the lower seed, that's not a ranking or re-seeding issue, it's a format issue by doing AQs for conference champs

[Cody Wilcoxson @CWilcoxson]

Joel--serious question: how does re-seeding after the first round fix what your complaint is? Penn State's path is easier because of the automatic qualifying into the byes. If the favs all win, Oregon WILL play the worst remaining team by seed, but Penn State gets Boise, and Ohio State on paper is a better football team than Boise State. But reseeding doesn't help. The committee didn't do this, the P5 (at the time) conferences did this when they created this format.
