With all the #NIL amendments in the recent weeks. I hope someone is educating the prospective student-athletes.

#NIL after enrollment & signing of grant-in-aid offer as a student at the respective institution— is the right due process.

Don't get caught up in the fad‼️

Losing is a part of any game at any level or in any endeavor of life. We can agree that it can be disappointing, however, it doesn't mean we don't learn from them, and attack that same challenge to achieve our set goal(s).

The notion that every team or individual must win every year is a false narrative, that has been purported drastically over the years, especially in sports. In reality, there's one trophy at the end of each playoff run/game/competition, which ultimately goes to the sole winner. it doesn't mean a team(s) or individual doesn't deserve to win, it just wasn't meant to be at that particular moment, and/or the opposing team/individual happens to be a little better, and executed at a much better rate.

This is undeniably one of the most entertaining games this season‼️

Entertaining is entertaining, regardless of gender, age, or professional level.

This championship game between Iowa and LSU is undeniably one of the most entertaining sporting events of the last 12 months.

Kudos ladies! 🔥🔥🔥

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

The momentum shift in this game is wild. Incredible and entertaining first half.

LSU scouting on Iowa is on point, and the three point line definitely seems like a point of emphasis coming into this game.

[Michael McCann @McCannSportsLaw]

Very entertaining game. It’s almost like they deserve to be paid. #MarchMadness

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

Totally agree with @JasonStahl__ remarks. The issues in college athletics can be resolved by leaders within the industry.

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

He called it. I encourage those who haven't been to @FDUKnights to visit, and you will understand the significance of this victory for this team. #MarchMadness #ThisIsMarch

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

The sooner the NCAA reads the handwriting on the wall, the better off they're. First, #NIL, and now this is brewing slowly. Using the concept of "amaterism" or "inequities" won't stick anymore. Inequities in college athletics have long existed for a while, and anyone around college sports can attest to it.

[Michael McCann @McCannSportsLaw]

It was a disastrous day for the NCAA in court. A three-judge panel on the Third Circuit signaled they view college athletes as employees and that traditional NCAA legal arguments don't add up. My recap and analysis--and what this means for NCAA's future: https://t.co/gO8VbzJrF3

The refs clearly just bought the Celtics five minutes in overtime. #NBA

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

@Fullcoursemeelz Even worse, with the no call on Bron's drive to the basket.

Great atmosphere tonight at @MahoneyArena. Good win stags 🏆 (67 -55)@FairfieldMBB

Auburn paid $37 million in football head coach buyouts in less than 2years. That's ~$54,900 per day

The buyout cycle continues. Yet, when it comes to paying student-athletes, sustainability become a topic of discussion, but paying a coach to walk out the door is sustainable 🤔

[Steve Berkowitz @ByBerkowitz]

Per his contract, Harsin is owed a buyout of $15.575 million. The contract states that Harsin has no duty to mitigate and Auburn is not entitled to any offset from Harsin's future income.

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

It will be institutionally funded, and since there's buyouts clause in majority of coaches contract. The fund will continuously grow—as long as the clause remains, and athletic departments do what they do best– "buyouts".

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

This is problematic for college athletics. If athletic departments are willing to casually give away these lump-sums. Don't tell me student-athletes can't be compensated when they help generate the funds used for these ridiculous buyouts.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

The 2022 coaching buyout tracker is LIT and it's Oct. 2.

Chryst: $19.5M
Frost: $15M
Dorrell: $11.4M
Collins: $11.3M
Edwards: ~$8M 

Total: $67 million.

Last year was believed to be a record at $94 million.

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

A creation of "student-athletes universal fund"(SAUF) for athletic departments to match equivalent spent on buyouts would be ideal. The funds should be used to compensate student-athletes.

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

Cincinnati's Australian punter, Mason Fletcher, can't make NIL money as an international athlete.

Instead, he's giving all would-be earnings from his apparel sales to the team's walk-ons.

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

Apparently, this model has been sustainable for institutions for decades, but anything contrary to it isn't?

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

1. Collegiate athletic departments are very comfortable firing coaches & paying off the remainder of their million $$ contracts to do absolutely nothing.

However, when it comes to resources for student-athletes, #NIL, or pay increase for support staff, all of the sudden there's

[Vincent Eze @Vincenteze_]

budgetary issues/concerns. If departments are comfortable paying upwards of 15 million or 17.1 million for coaches to walk away, other than not winnings games. We can agree there's a much better way to allocate those funds to support SA's, support staffs of those institution(s).
