"Here in Peoria, where I live and raising a family, it's so important to still be what I hope to be a voice of reason for student-athletes locally..." How Mitch Gilfillan has become a nationally renowned expert in the world of NIL ⏬ pjstar.com/story/sports/c…

Cost of Attendance is every single penny associated with attending college. Grant In Aid is just tuition, fees, room, board, and books. If I'm at D1, I don't care as much because of other financial avenues (per diem, Alston money, NIL, etc). Anyone below that depends on Pell.

More Appeals: Tyler Phillips, Rivera Sebastian, and Ryan Deakin have now filed appeals to the Ninth Circuit. This appears to be seven total appeals to the House v. NCAA settlement.

Former Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton’s motion to dismiss was denied at a hearing today and will now be set for trial next year, according to Field of 68 legal analyst, Mitch Gilfillan. Judge found enough factual evidence existed related to promises to pay NIL to FSU

Legally, key win for FSU players. Their attorney, Darren Heitner, told me, “the judge seemed very knowledgeable about NIL, the college sports landscape and came to the hearing clearly having read through the briefing.” Heitner argued importance of the Tenn v. NCAA decision.

Former Fresno State and Seton Hall basketball player, K. Braeden Anderson, also filed an appeal this afternoon. He is now an attorney. CC: Sam C. Ehrlich need an update on how many appeals this is. Also, what is the record for number of appeals of a class action lawsuit?

A dozen cuts is substantial for any athletic department to absorb. This shift will ripple across campuses the next 2 to 5 years. While paying athletes is long-overdue, it brings financial trade-offs like ticket price increases, staffing reductions, etc. x.com/mitchgilfillan…

NEW: In a memorandum sent to Division I Athletic Directors across the country, the College Sports Commission has issued guidance on NIL Go and what constitutes a valid business purpose. Important: NIL collective “deals” are much more scrutinized than ever before. Memo ⬇️

Still numerous ways collectives will thrive under this guidance. Some Collectives shut down or merged when rev share started (a decision I thought premature) but NIL will still be critical. The best always adjust and adapt. Emotional frustration cannot influence rational

Here for NBA Summer League in Vegas. First game about to tip between Wolves/Pelicans. T-Wolves extremely high on Terrence Shannon, Jr. especially with his late-season surge. TSJ and Rob Dillingham both starting in back court vs. Jeremiah Fears + Antonio Reeves starting for Pels.

NBA Summer League Rules: A player fouls out after committing his TENTH personal foul of the game. It’s physical! Use ‘em if you got ‘em.

TSJ finishes with 20pts, 9ast, 6 reb in Wolves victory. Pelicans Rookie, Derik Queen, finished with 13pts/10reb after going scoreless in the 1st half. Queen, who crushed Colorado State’s hearts in NCAA tourney, arguably most skilled big man in draft class. Incredible skill/feel.

Bradley’s, Malevy Leons, starting for OKC Thunder along side rookie and former Northwestern star Brooks Barnhizer in his NBA Summer League debut. Game playing on ESPN2.

A new chapter begins. Fred VanVleet is your new NBPA President!

Two Peoria guys, Brian Randle and John Little, both working in the Phoenix Suns organization at NBA Summer League. Randle is back as an assistant after stints with the Wizards and Pistons. Little still the head coach of Suns’ G-League team. Two of the best.
