@Greg_Gaston $25 million to make the 25,000 Tigers fans in Memphis happy. Doesn’t seem like much bang for the buck.

Will be interesting to see if shareholder resolutions are presented. Looking at FedEx's institutional investors, not sure some of the pension funds from other states will be supportive.

Providence is hosting their second annual NIL Media Day. Why everyone should be doing this: 1. The first NIL deal is the hardest - Every athlete gets a deal 2. Quality content increases value - Athletes get a year’s worth 3. Deals = more deals - Athletes show they can deliver

College sports are being pulled apart by transfer chaos, constant litigation, shady NIL deals, disappearing rivalries, and a broken system that is leaving student athletes, schools, and fans without clear rules or real protections. The Protect College Sports Act: - Ends the roster chaos with national rules for transfers (one free undergrad) and eligibility (5-in-5) - Creates enforceable standards on recruiting, tampering, and NIL disclosures - Protects student athletes’ right to earn from their own NIL - Enables enforcement of House settlement on revenue sharing and fake NIL deals - Sanctions against agents that take advantage of student athletes, facilitate player poaching, and recruit tampering - Protects women’s sports, Olympic sports, and scholarship opportunities - Preserves historic rivalries - Keeps college sports tied to education, so student athletes become successful adults - Prohibits football coaches from quitting mid-season to be hired by another program - Guarantees safety standards, health care, and an ombudsman for student athletes - Makes TV money work for college sports with an option for schools to pool media rights - Stops Super League consolidation
