Great questions!
1) I would pick one of the many fall Saturday weekends where me and a few friends would head out to Dragons Tooth and hike, camp, and build a fire. Just hang out with the boys and enjoy the time together before life and responsibilities arose.
2) hmmm, Italy (all of it lol, northern alps to south coast), Tokyo, Germany, Monaco, and Australia/NZ area of Oceania?
3) not long, maybe a minute

# | Kris Jenkins sues NCAA and every major conference for NIL backpay Yeah I was gonna say, if you aren't sure of why he has some pretty good standing in this case, you haven't been paying attention to college sports over the last 36 months.

VT career HR leader!!!!
2-1 now HOKIES going to the bottom of the fourth.
Girl for charlotte hit a homerun over the left field fence that cleared Beamer Way. Don't know that I've ever seen one go that far. It was a massive shot!
HOKIES lead 2-0 end of third.
Not enough $$ to buy a 15-man roster. Get a couple walk-on types to accept scholarships and a few Hardees coupons and you get to 15.

Mid-week game on now against Charlotte. ACCN
Quick Q for Flyguy and others...
best/recommended trout streams within an hour of Aspen?
But if others are getting money why should he keep to the legal agreement that he committed to?
They got athletic scholarships. And they were clearly aware that the games were televised, and advertised.
I feel certain that the basic scholarship agreement included signing over those rights. Otherwise, how did they advertise and televise those games?
As usual 'no respect'. Got to keep moving the $EC teams up for any reason possible.
At least we picked up one.
Bumping this, anyone have Ireland recs?
In response to VTNerf's inquiry on the KY bourbon Trail:
There are actually two "trails". the Urban Bourbon trail, which is made up more of tasting rooms near Whiskey Row in Downtown Louisville, and the actually distilleries, which are spread out largely along Bardstown Road South of Louisville.
We went with a group of nine. They have tours which will drive you and go by several with reserved tours, but we just picked where each wanted to go and went.
We started with Buffalo Trace (Frankfurt) - (Hopefully they recover from the weekend flooding soon) even though we could not get a distillery tour (they open up 30 days in advance and sold out in a few days). They do drop some limited release bottles every day, which often sell out around noon. The first day they dropped Eagle Rare and Weller's so we waited in line for them to open and got our allotted bottle of each. We then headed over Woodford for a tasting only and to shop around before driving all the way down to Maker's Mark. One of our team had signed up online as an ambassador, and the barrel they had his name on was in bottles (blended). Beatiful campus and a great tour. The tasting included a taste of the mash for those that wanted, their corn liquor, the standard Maker's, Makers 46, and a custom aged for the Derby where they add different woods slats to the barrel for the second aging. If you buy a bottle you can get a custom label and dip it in the wax for the top yourself. Included seeing old style open barrel mash and the rick houses and barrels. Great tour. We then headed back to Louisville to tour some museums, dinner, and a stop at the Urban Trail Evan Williams just to check it out.
Next day we started at Trace again, this time picking up that day's release (they announce it around 7:30 every morning on their website), which was Blanton's that day. Then down to Four Roses for a tasting and history. They go over their different mash bills, how to tell which one is in a bottle from the label, and let you sample four to get an idea of what you like. Cool, and also a beautiful campus. They typically have one or two single barrel distiller's select bottles for sale there ($99), as well as a standard single barrel and other stock items. On the way back we stopped at Bulleit Bourbon for the full tour. Very modern mass production facility, no rickhouse tour, with disappointing bottle selection at the distillery. Their tasting involved including different scents to see how what you are smelling affected the taste, which was interesting. We stopped at few small liquor stores on the way back to Louisville to see what we could find (I pickup a single barrel select Uncle Nearest I have not cracked yet). We hit up Old Forester on Whiskey row as part of the Urban Bourbon Trail (no single barrel select bottles for sale, only $20 pours which I skipped) before heading to 4th Street Live for some music and dinner.
The next day we toured Churchill Downs - great tour and museum and a few other sights downtown, with a great daily special bourbon tasting at Merles Whiskey Kitchen for lunch. Three single barrel restaurant selects for $20. Next day we headed home. Checked the Trace website to see what they had, but it was Weller's again and not the EH Taylor,, and we had already picked up our 90 day allotment, so skipped a third stop there.
Why is he owed a heck of a lot of money? Did he sign a contract?
I mean if that's how it works, can I go back and get more money from my past employers?
What? He was never employed. He was illegally blocked from making money from the video. If someone is going to use video of you for content that they're selling (at a high price mind you), you're legally entitled to your cut, just like any actor, model or artist, etc.
Yes, he signed a contract for a scholarship and Villanova and the NCAA can use his likeness. So everytime they show him hitting the shot it us fine so eith his permission whether he knew what he was signing or not.
He only really was known as a player from the big east tournament his junior and after. which means no one is really paying him for his NIL until after that shot. He could have gone pro then and cashed in. It's going to be hard to show he would have gotten actual NIL money (not pay to play money). How do you calculate NIL value as all the numbers we see are fake, I dont know how you prove his worth for hitting a shot, that I'm 99% sure I've watched live and don't remember.
