This just underscores the stupidity of the NIL system. The argument was that schools made too much money and needed to share it with the athletes. So they come up with a system where the schools are prohibited from sharing any money with the players. Let's make the fans pay the players!
-certainly not the end of the world... and he's earned a mulligan in my book. But it is noteworthy.
^I wonder if y'all are worried because Brady said he reads this thread. Soft

This can’t be emphasized enough. Begging fans who already have to pay through the nose for seats, parking, etc. to pony up money tor players - and guilt tripping them in the process for not doing enough - is pathetic. College sports have managed to make a broken system even worse.

Just finished up our last Official Visit for my son for Cross County/Track. He took 4 visits and will decide this month.
-Lee University-Top 10 D2 distance school. They made a very strong offer. He could flourish there but I worry that town is a little too small for him.
-EKU-Top 20 D1 distance school. Best in the state. But they recruit internationally and were sort of arrogant and very unorganized. We left pretty put out. They have not offered yet.
-Bellarmine-Since they really have just moved to D1 there are little behind. He really liked the team and coach and they made a good offer but it is pretty expensive school.
-Lipscomb-Very good D1 distance school. The best visit we had. Extremely organized and had great coaches. We should get an offer this week. My son loved all the things to do in Nashville.
We are going to let him decide and I think he won't go wrong with his top 3. From what we can see for Cross County and track the offers are about 60% of cost of attendance. You only get 12.6 scholarships for the entire team so there are pretty much no full rides. What is crazy is that started following this thread when he was born and he will be 18 on Sunday. Life is a vapor.

We are all intelligent enough fans to say a) that is an incredibly stupid comment and b) he's earned a few.
I do agree with the theory of the NCAA's initiative of putting the collectives back in the hands of the University but at this point I think cats out of the bag. The NCAA screwed all of this up they are to blame for their own demise.
^ This has nothing to do with getting our asses kicked by UGA.

I don’t even understand who put together the current NIL “rules”. Was it the NCAA? The schools? The whole thing is a mess with no clear direction or regulation , I mean good lord.
-yup. I *love* the grouch ***. Perfect fit for UK. He's put the work in to get UK to top 25 program status. Amazing. Halcyon days and such. No one is above reproach.
- 73's son about to go to the Ivy League to play football (and hopefully not join a pro-Hamas organization).
- Booker's son about to go to Lipscomb to run cross country (and hopefully not spend all his nights drinking beer on Broadway)
Columbia's great because it has a self-contained campus so students still get the college feel in the big city. Contrast that with NYU which is just a bunch of buildings in the Village. My wife went to Barnard (part of Columbia) and apparently didn't attend a single football game while she was there. Probably typical of the student body.
My daughter hung up her running cleats after high school, but somehow has joined the Ultimate Frisbee club team at her new school, so somehow we kinda, sorta, if you squint really hard, have a D-1 athlete in our family.
It's not quite the same, but she'll get to try and beat Duke a few times a year, so that counts for something in my book.

Congrats to everyone on being genetic jackhammers.
My understanding is the SCOTUS told them basically to get f*cked and that they can’t place any restrictions.
Rasputin was packing heat
I’m glad coach said what he said, it was a real response to a BS statement and I’ll take that over lame *** coach speak all/air.
You can’t want fiery redhead and when you get it try to shame him over it.
No issues whatsoever

When you add Oklahoma and Texas we rank around 13-15 in NIL dollars compared to other conference “rivals” spending in the NIL world.
UK coaches are doing more with less. Not saying the NIL thing is right. I think it’s a load of crap, honestly. With that said, Marrow/Stoops have us about the same position we were pre-NIL. Perhaps even a tick above. With far less NIL agreements than our conference rivals.
To compete, in the SEC, talent wise we need 6-8 million in legit NIL agreements. That’s my opinion from talks with reps from players all over the country. I’ve looked at other players, at other schools, like USC and UT. It makes zero sense for my small business. So I passed.
UT has a single back up QB with more NIL $ agreements than our entire roster is my educated guess.
*I am considering opening a business in KY that is an autograph memorabilia store/shop and that will get more legitimate NIL $ in our football players pockets. We would sell all over the country but these players just need some more opportunities to earn $. That’s all they want in my experience. In the Nashville area, it’s not going to work with UK athletes obviously.

I’ve said it before, schools like UK (I.e. don’t have unlimited booster $) would be better off pushing for legislation to share the TV rev $$ with the athletes. Better chance at long term survival.
UK should stage a kidnapping/ransom of Reid Sheppard. They'd raise $50M in Eastern KY alone.
I was hoping to see Booker's son suit up for Bellarmine, simply bc we havent had a top tier alum from their since TFields and B$... But the lure of the Nashville streets is just too much for a kid who grew up under the heavy hand of a tyrant like Booker.
73- thats amazing for your boy. Especially with that new sports bar opening in Mid-Town.
Went to a wedding for the duration of the game on Saturday. That worked out pretty well for me. Nice, formal black tie celebration, Blanton's was the bourbon they were pouring at at least 2 of the 5 full-service bars- which I hadnt seen before.
Jealous of those hitting Keeneland for the fall meet. Fall meet is superior to the Spring, imo.
Is Tod Lanter in on the joke or is his whole facade legitimate?

I cannot believe people to continue to pretend that if we try really super extra hard that we’ll have facilities, recruiting, and NIL that stacks up to (or surpasses) Alabama, Florida, UGA, etc.
Sure, peaks and valleys and what not, but over the long haul it just kinda is what it is.

Since 2018, we're 1-12 against the top 10 and 7-0 against teams ranked 11-25. There's a ceiling when you're recruiting the 25-30th best classes. Stoops and Co. are outperforming our recruiting rankings handsomely. He's stretched the talent as far as he can. If we want to play with the big boys, we simply need more talent, and in the NIL era, we have to buy it.
That said, we didn't outperform anything Saturday, so Stoops' comment was ill-timed.

Watch the
So the whole “how does he do that after batting down the pass” argument is all bs.
Watch the replay. Number 8, Oxendine batted the ball down. Then Walker just hit his man thinking it was a fumble since we had a player running towards the end zone.

Congrats on you guys raising champions.
Said it before, we'll live and die with the portal as players become disenchanted with their initial choices and NIL will play a smaller role with their next choice..

Just watched the replay, and posted about it in this thread. Deone Walker batted it down then hit him after the play. Even if he was fooled by his own guy picking it up and running, he knew he batted it down and, therefore, cost us a 3-and-out there.
Upon review, however, there isn't a blown whistle. So, he's taught to play to the whistle as well. With the way the refs love letting anything "questionable" go, I think he was just trying to make a play.
B$ isn't even an alumn, dick hole.
My bad- sorry B$... thought we had someone else who graduated from Shenanigans
How much would a picture of Eddie Cooper handing Anth his diploma be worth in the GYERO marketplace?
Ahem. I had a diverse college career that spanned multiple campuses. Hit the transfer portal, if you will.
There's a picture of us in cap and gown taking jbombs with him.
Told y’all. My kid has Bellarmine covered.
I don’t know if one can put a price of a photo involving the man serving the coldest beer in all of Greater Louisville and the young HVAC Czar of Kentucky.
Baby Billy is the greatest character of all time.
Yes! But Judy Gemstone reminds me of one of my in-laws, which didn't go over to well when I mentioned that to my wife.
