It’s after 5 p.m. PT, and there is still no decision on the House settlement. In 31 days, DI athletic departments are scheduled to begin paying out more than $1 billion to athletes. There are currently no real rules, very little enforcement and minimal regulation.

With the House settlement’s approval, a thread… The settlement - negotiated by plaintiffs seeking back-NIL pay and NCAA/power leagues - has 3 main parts: 1) $2.8B in back-pay to ex-athletes  2) $20B+ in rev-share to future athletes  3) New roster rules & enforcement arm

Opting in/out: - schools have a choice to opt out of settlement terms, thus prohibiting them from sharing revenue - many FCS & basketball-playing leagues will have a mix of opt-outs/opt-ins - there is on-going debate on competition between P4 schools & those that opt-out

Threw my wife a surprise 40th Birthday party yesterday, and that was my first time ever planning an event like this. To say ya boy got overwhelmed at certain points in planning these few weeks is an understatement, but o see that beautiful smile made it all worth it!

So an alligator was hit by a car by our house. This alligator that I've always heard of but assumed was a myth was in fact real! He had a name and everything. These folks are mourning this gator in ways they dont even mourn people!

The most un-athletic people always have the most harsh criticisms about athletes. Its crazy that you can't do a tenth of the things this person can do, but yet you're the loudest in the room and even go personal with the disrespect. Insane!
