How long before FSU or Clemson tries this with a football game?
I have it on good authority that he's going to pick a P4 school.
No but hey, his nephew got a sweet gig. (Or whoever the relative was.)

# | OT: Duke was allowed to make a unique deal with Amazon for men's basketball so you are telling me a tobacco road school did something that would probably not be allowed by any other school in the conference and that there will be no repercussions to that action whatsoever?

Wait a minute, ot is just for the Clemson football players and not every student, well thats an impremissible benefit then, they should get introuble for that. If everyone got a bag then it just a normal student benefit.
Is he still announcing today? Does anybody have any between the tea leaves insights outside of anything that's already been posted here?
But wouldn't this move also reduce the overall pie of revenue that the conference members are sharing? Yeah definitely interested to hear the details, and it seems really strange that this would be allowed.

# | OT: Duke was allowed to make a unique deal with Amazon for men's basketball Because duke is probably giving up some rev share in exchange. We should learn more after the ACC meetings this week.

# | OT: Duke was allowed to make a unique deal with Amazon for men's basketball Why the F@#$! isn't the rest of the ACC colleges suing the ACC about the nonpropriety in this?

Porque no quieren pagar lo que sea el precio, en mi opinion. Sorry, I can't resist a Spanish moment.

# | OT: Duke was allowed to make a unique deal with Amazon for men's basketball This was coming NIL or not. Like you said its in the pro leagues already, it was only a matter of time until colleges followed suit.
Find it hard to understand how a Conference commissioner allows a team to just go out and make their own deal without some level of revenue sharing.
Philips quote in the article essentially defers the decision to ESPN and not the ACC. Jim is an empty suit.
On a more macro level, this is the obvious future of college sports---Broadcasting Paywalls.
The NBA already has half its Playoff games behind Amazon paywall, NFL is right on their heels.
Non-con games going behind pay services is going to become the norm soon.
Always been the problem with the NIL era....somebody has to pay for it--and Disney and Fox have no interest whatsoever in paying a 19 year-old $30k to make 12 catches on a season. The Fans will eat the bill, particularly once the mega-donors grow tired of throwing their money into a non-ROI entity like NIL Collective slush funds.
Pretty soon attempting to consume college sports is going to become like one of those old cartoons where you get turned upside down at the door so that your pockets empty out.
My interpretation was that they are not sharing that money, but forgoing what would be the ACC share for those games.
He could become a classic 3 and D player if he learns to defend the perimeter, and there's no reason to think he can't. The NBA is dying for those guys. His shot already shows potential.
Do we start Layton or not mess around and go with Mazz? I'll tell you what, Layton looks like she could be a dominant starter. Freshman hitting the gun at 72, and imagine with another offspeed and better command what she'll be as a Jr.
Anyone know status of Carico?

# | OT: Duke was allowed to make a unique deal with Amazon for men's basketball Been following this story for a few weeks now; it's really unclear if Duke has to share the money, or what.

# | Tobi Lawal has entered the NBA Draft with the option to return I noticed this as well, but not has funny as the UFC Jim Miller post resurrection.
Just so it's clear, this was last year, and he did return for his final year. He's out of eligibility now.
Hokies face University of South Alabama (32-25) at 4pm Friday on ESPN+
Dont care, just win. Winning game 1 makes the rest of the weekend a lot more manageable and the ability to take a lot more risk in game #2.
