And, whats his phone battery charge %?
The US is one of the 3 nations hosting it.
If the US is hosting the World Cup, why is there a game in Toronto?
Extra Points should be all over this.
Is there an Oil Baron Fairy Godfather mode? You get all the players you want with your unlimited bankroll? Of course that didn't exactly pan out for Oregon last year.
I hope you mean returning to Blacksburg
Makes me want to vibe code an NCAA Lawyer Simulator.
> I don't know why anyone really needs more than 4 years playing college spots but it at least would set a consistent standard.
Every player that can cut it at the college level but would never make the pros, basically. I totally get that a large number of these players are being told "you have five years of high earning potential and then welcome to the worst job market in decades".
What we view as entertainment and fairness in sports, they view as their livelihood.
Can't wait for NCAA 27 release!

Point #1 - NIL is fine, but what's being practiced now is decidedly not NIL. It's pay-for-play and nothing more...honestly pay-for-showing-up would be more accurate. There somehow, someway needs to be a reasonable framework for how players get compensated and reasonable standardized contracts that are transparent. Maybe the CSC will become that, but so far it seems most are simply annoyed by it and are exploring ways to try to get around it. IMHO we should be able to FOIA NIL contracts to determine what is real and what is not rather than relying on hearsay and thinly-sourced media reports.
Point #2: Agree. But with one exception--for Juniors or Seniors that want to transfer down a level--i.e. FBS to FCS or D2-- they get a 2nd "free transfer" I have no problem with guys who simply want a chance to be on the field and compete, I have significant qualms with guys hopping in the Portal every offseason to field NIL offers.
Point#3: Agree wholeheartedly. Everything about conference realignment has been bad for college sports--ridiculous travel and logistics, killing natural rivalries, and generally making the conferences geographically idiotic.
Eligibility: there need to be firm, enforceable rules. 5-for-5 is fine, I suppose. I don't know why anyone really needs more than 4 years playing college spots but it at least would set a consistent standard.
Do these things and 90% of my gripes would be gone. I'm getting exhausted at this point trying to follow the trail of Lawsuits to determine who can play/can't play/might be able to play until the next appeal.
They blew away the Allmans for sure.
completely agree
Portal/NIL are also the reason we got the most entertaining CFP final four... ever?
I'll die on this hill - The game the best it's ever been if:
NILpay for play remains unchanged from how it is today- Players can transfer once without sitting out a year
- We return to 2008 conference alignment (OU/Nebrask/UT in the B12, PAC12 still intact, etc)
I have no doubt they would have lost a lot more than $5m if they pushed the issue further.
A bit Surprised Texas Tech is allowing Sorsby to keep the money without some effort to claw back....are we sure he is getting the full $5mil or just the portion paid so far? Internet rumors suggest he has probably received somewhere around $1.5-1.7M so far...
My guess is that when the B12 sued them, they basically 'settled' with Sorsby. "hey kid, this isn't going to work out for us, or you. I, Cody Campbell, am worth billions, so I will gladly throw $2m-5m your way if you just make this problem disappear.'
Moral of the story: bullying works
Anyone know the Kalshi odds???
Ball announced he will be returning
Maybe he had a prop bet on himself already. That would have been the "smart" move.
We don't get most of our current recruits without the transfer portal though. Possibly not even Franklin. You can't really separate the two.
This is ultimately what I thought would happen when he got the injunction. TTU has the donors to make this problem go away, and they did. If Sorsby were smart (jury is still out on that one) this was all orchestrated to get him the $5M, not about playing.
The big question is - what kind of parlay he's going to blow it all on?
Wife and I are house sitting for a friend in Newport and we went to the campus to walk around the Hahn Gardens and generally look around. While waiting for her to finish up looking at the flowers and such, I was sitting reading by the center. I kept hearing the sound, recognized it and immediately got sad that I had to listen to the Hokies doing some fielding practice. Wish they'd been otherwise engaged.
I also saw them in Burress in '89, though I was probably closer to row 30, right center. That auditorium is great place to see a concert. And they put on a great show - much better than the Allman's that night.
Yeah. What we've acquired is hype. We find out in 2 1/2 months if it's real.
...and it's pronounced "Kevin"
