Playing in the Canadian Football League was seen as one option for Brendan Sorsby but the league clarified the former Texas Tech QB is not eligible. https://t.co/ZxCaQYBpeJ

There's a clear top-tier to the B1G, but there's a second-tier team that may have a wider path to a playoff berth than many realize.

[John Kurtz @jlkurtz]

Texas Tech won’t be playing Brendan Sorsby.

That does not mean the Red Raiders are ready to play nice with the Big 12.

NEW: Rich Rodriguez tells @PeteNakos he tried convincing Pat McAfee to spend on West Virginia NIL instead of the Jell-O Shot Challenge in Omaha😂

"I stood by Pat’s side the whole time so he wouldn’t write a check for them. I was trying to get him to write a check for us. I hung out at the bar with him for two hours just to convince him. I said, ‘Hey, listen, I know the Jell-O shot thing might be fun, but I need a three-technique.'"

A statement from our CEO & President, @ColeG13, concerning today's ruling:

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

What should the revenue-share cap be?

College sports executives are holding accelerated conversations around that question. $40 million? $50 million? Some in the SEC and Big Ten want $60 million.

Opendorse is projecting college athlete compensation - rev-share + third party pay - to exceed $4 billion this coming year, per its annual NIL Report.

A Big Ten school’s annual average spend exceeds all others at $48M, followed by the SEC ($44M), ACC ($28M) and Big 12 ($24M).

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Will conference realignment finally… sleep?

The Senate bill crystalizes power league membership - freezing out G6 and ACC programs hoping for promotion. There’s now a “shot clock” on accelerated expansion talks, says one AD.

NEW: Curt Cignetti tells @Clowfb he was "pissed at the hopelessness, the prevailing attitude" on his first day at Indiana:

"By the time I got to that basketball game, later that night, I was f****** livid. We'd won conference championships and been to playoffs my whole career as a head coach, and you had these two worlds collide. I wasn’t going to sacrifice the standard. I wasn’t going to settle. I had to find out if the fans were dead or just on life support. I had to get them riled up."
