I talked w/ Darian Mensah for a while for @GQSports. He had never heard of the Protect College Sports Act, which I would argue is aimed directly at his money specifically. When I asked what he is earning this year he said "as much as God allows me to" lol https://t.co/OWCaXh3xYK
Cody Campbell could lose his Texas Tech board seat—but his money may keep his influence alive. 💰👀
When one billionaire can help build a roster AND shape a program, how much power is too much?

Cody Campbell’s board seat at Texas Tech is in jeopardy.
In Texas, the governor appoints university board members. Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa, a Democrat, could replace Campbell, a Trump ally and one of the most outspoken voices in college sports.

Update: Bron AI appears to have pulled the ad that evoked the likeness of LeBron James from Twitter. For now, it's still up on Instagram.
This comes after James's camp sent a cease and desist letter earlier today, as reported by @FOS.

Sam Darnold says a Seahawks rookie made $800,000 in NIL before entering the NFL and getting just a $20,000 signing bonus, and says some rookies are now arriving in the NFL having already made more money in college than they’re getting to start their professional careers
“We had our first little rookie show right before we ended minicamp. We all went to dinner and had a rookie show, and you get guys saying their name, school, signing bonus.”
“We had guys saying their name, school, signing bonus, and what they made in NIL.”
“One of the kids will be like, ��My name’s D, went here, got a $20,000 signing bonus.’ And we’re like, ‘NIL? NIL?’ And he’s like, ‘$800,000 NIL.’”
“And you’re like, ‘Ain’t that nice? I’m taking a pay cut to play in the league.’ That is insane. Your dream is going to cost you. Literally cost you.”
“I was like, ‘Dude, I would do the same thing.’ Some of these kids, I would try to play seven or eight years in college. It is wild.”
Politics doesn't stop at the stadium. 🇺🇸 The 2026 U.S midterms could shape college sports, from NIL deals to financial fairness. Social media will also shape how fans react to these changes. Are fans informed or just following viral headlines? #USElections

75% of Canadians are fans of women's sports, yet 62% don't know where to watch them. 👀
Is women's sports' biggest problem a lack of interest, or a lack of media coverage?
You can't support what you can't find.
