No reform is going to be even remotely coherent until someone says the quiet part out loud: the kids are now professionals and employees of the university.

I think BG and the rest of the MAC will be fine. The NCAA is going to get its antitrust exemption which will finally protect it legally, a federal NIL law will go into affect superseding state rules and the whole entity will have to pool together similar to pro sports for media deals. That’s exactl...

If this is how desperate we are for cash, is it time to admit we can't afford to stay in D1? My dwindling interest in BG athletics in the era of NIL and the transfer portal isn't going to be revived by an 11pm EST kickoff on a Tuesday night.

You heard it here first, folks.

Was my high school athletic association engaged in an "illegal conspiracy" when I had to affirm I was an amateur to play freshman baseball?

I get that this lawsuit is written in legalese, but I'm having a hard time taking it seriously. Why do we expect the kid to win it?

A thought: Ferris needs to stop letting Bob Daniels tank their program. He had a good (and extremely long) run, but they clearly need a reset. After 8 straight losing seasons, you’d think they would pull the trigger. I’d contend that the best hire they could make is Jeff Blashill, who played there ...

Great to see Jerry York was involved with the search. What a guy to have in your back pocket. Definitely looking forward to the press conference tomorrow. Assuming Dennis will be remote. Hoping this is the first step in bringing this program back to relevance. Interesting to see a quote from Wayne ...

Recruiting marginal talent from the USHL/NAHL and smaller Canadian junior leagues gets you here. I posted an article a few months ago that CCHA programs looking to Europe for talent, namely Sweden and Finland. Hockey is lagging behind the NIL curve, but I suspect things will start moving in the nex...

I view BG & Miami as equal in respects to the work that needs to be done with their programs. Obvious there's more money available in Oxford, but the path to an NCAA berth is likely met with less resistance in the CCHA than the Nacho. It'll never happen, but this would be the ideal opportunity ...

This post is laced with hate. He should know when to hold his tongue. I guess some men have no sole.

From McMahon's insider update this afternoon: The swiftness of this decision suggests that AD Derek Van der Merwe made up his mind a while ago. Bowling Green was specific in its statement that the move was made due to on-ice performance, which was to deflect away from the hazing investigation. Stil...

Wilson leveraged Berge's departure into a better deal at RIT. I have to assume he's off the table. Peter Mannino? He's helped resurrect Colorado College. What I had actually heard about Wayne in 2019 was that he wanted the job but Bob Moosbrugger told people privately that he thought Wayne was “too...

Close to home, close to a holiday, beatable P5 opponent, and a decent payout. Other than having Liberty's spot, this is probably the best bowl for us.

Keith and Fannin weren't hurt but we didn't use them at all the second half. Inexcusable play calling If this is true that is a fireable offense. They were dinged up/in and out of the game. Fannin was obviously limping on the last drive, and Keith had to be managed after leaving with an injury last...

He was 3/11 passing. We would have been better off taking a knee on his drives to kill off 2 minutes before punting.
