If limiting college athlete pay is necessary to "save" college sports, why not limit coach pay too?
Some senators want to cap coaches at $5 million.
Would that survive a legal challenge?
And is it good policy?

It really is fitting that USC is using the term “re-signed” when describing players returning to USC for another year.
USC, much like Miami, is a mercenary program with no soul or culture. The players don’t care about USC. They are there to earn a paycheck and nothing more.
This is why USC will ALWAYS be inferior to Notre Dame.

Must listen for every @NDFootball fan. The Pop Tarts Bowl rep didn’t realize how he implicated Jim Phillips and perhaps others.
Also, the Bowl rep said that the difference between ND vs BYU and GaTech vs BYU to Orlando (not even ESPN) is $75M!!!

Notre Dame nation, listen to this video:
1. Some shaaaaaaady stuff going on with Jim Phillips, the ACC, ESPN, and the college football playoff committee
2. According to this source, Notre Dame opting out of the Poptart bowl and being replaced with Georgia Tech is costing the Orlando area ~75 MILLION dollars

Here’s how Notre Dame can exit their affiliate membership and completely destroy the ACC as we know it:
1. Notre Dame’s cleanest exit from the ACC deal: Sue for breach of anti disparagement clause over the 2025 CFP sabotage. Win = walk away penalty-free
2. Partial-member buyout: ND’s buyout is ~$50-100M today (way less than a full member’s $165+), but a successful breach lawsuit makes it $0 + possible $20-50M in damages from the ACC.
3. Hypothetical future: ND flips to a Big Ten partial deal in 2027
- 5 rotating B1G games/yr + fixed rivalry
- Keep full NBC money + $15M affiliate check
- Auto bowl ties & stronger CFP path. Big Ten gets massive ratings.
In the end, ACC loses its golden goose and FSU & Clemson leave shortly after. The ACC collapses.

Joey Galloway knows ball! Miami had to burn timeouts to try and put more points on the board make it look like they blew out an abysmal Virginia Tech team. They didn’t! Joey knows it and so do we!

🧵1/
Nick Saban, Charlie Baker & NCAA brass lobbied hard for Trump to sign an executive order capping what athletes can earn. They said it would “save college sports.” But it was about greed, control & keeping power in the hands of the privileged.

If you dig deep enough,no one has ever has “perfect form”.
Its not had but should:
-Be aspired to, and
-Be something that a coach comprehends in theory despite never perfect application

Ohio State, Notre Dame, USC, Michigan and Illinois are now 8-1 against the SEC this season, which is stunning considering the SEC remains undefeated in hypothetical matchups

Canada has a fraction of the lacrosse participation compared to the USA, and they spend a fraction of the cost in programming.
In spite of the much smaller player pool, Canada has won multiple field lacrosse World Championships recently and they have produced many of the most skilled goal scorers ever.
They also produced the best field defenseman of all time and a recent PLL defenseman of the year.
They generate field lacrosse greatness per capita at a rate that puts the US to shame.
Do you think their youth development model is centered around playing in 10-20 field lacrosse tournaments per year?

This might be the most brilliant video from Tim Walz so far from this entire election cycle.

Curved Running Myths-
Posting a social media video of an athlete being exposed to radial runs on the field is convenient.
It certainly has value but it’s not pay dirt.
We can and need to do better if we want to raise the bar to team sports and track and field. 🧵

In my view, JuVaughn Harrison was one of the best performers of the US team, he tied his PB and the WL coming just a shade shy of gold in the men's HJ in Budapest.
Hopefully, he'll get back to his standards in the LJ a couple of years ago where he can do lots of damage as well.
