Good, it needs to collapse! NIL, or the real name: Player Salary, will have to be placed under Athletic Department's supervision with a Nationally approved binding contract to be signed by player and school (coach) including provisions for pay, play, leaving, etc. Combine it with a scholarship and this sounds almost like National Letters of Intent! -

The American Athletic Conference (AAC) has a 12-year media rights deal with ESPN that runs through the 2031-2032 academic year. The deal is worth $1 billion and earns the AAC an average of $83.3 million per year. The deal includes: Football and basketball: Football, men's and women's basketball will be on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU. Most basketball games and many football games will be on ESPN+. Other live sports: Baseball, softball, and soccer will be on ESPN+. The previous seven-year contract between ESPN and the AAC paid the league a little over $20 million per year. -

Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal
The comment about visiting Assisted Living Facilities brought to mind something that Louisiana Tech did when Women's Basketball came into existence after Title 9. If I remember correctly (it's been a while and the memory isn't what it used to be), Louisiana Tech made it a priority to get nursing home residents to the games and develop a bond with the women on the team. This is when Louisiana Tech was a national powerhouse in Women's Basketball. Those residents became great fans and developed a true relationship with the team members. The generational gap made no difference...it was like grandmother/granddaughter and they always had good attendance. I think they may have bussed the nursing home residents to the game...the point is this was a unique marketing idea that developed a true fan base. It just shows how thinking out of the box can become successful. How long that lasted I don't remember, but it was a start. It may not have paid off financially but it did help develop a fanbase that truly cared about "their team." Any one else remember anything more about this? Would something similar work for UNT? I know they have a public school day at one of the women's games every year for the young fans. Expand this to other sports or for older people who don't have as many social options? Just a thought...any other ideas like those listed above? -

I’ve watched a lot of bowl games too and have enjoyed most of them. The playoffs were in the bottom interest tier so for, maybe that changes this weekend. Programs who lost their quarterback didn’t do well. They struggled mightily which doesn’t bode well for us. But that’s okay because I’m watching the bowl games differently too. An unexpected byproduct of this is that the guys playing are playing hard and having fun. It’s so freaking refreshing. They may be playing for their next school or for next year, but they are playing. And most importantly having fun. Something missing from most college football talk these days. GMG
