I'll take another Deron Davis before he got hurt. He was a player.

Costco HQ is only a couple dozen miles from American Airlines Arena. Maybe the intern was just asked to find things with local flair.

I was visiting my gf's friend in Seattle and watched that game in a bar in Ballard. When we hit that go ahead shot late, I jumped and sprinted out of the bar with multiple fist pumps. I came back in and realized I had cut the hell out of my arm and was bleeding. I have no idea what I cut it on or when, but I also didn't care at all.

someone might have even said the s or a word. It was like living through Pandemonium.

This is just fun Breaking News: Mackenzie Mgbako Has Reached A $205.8m Deal decommited From New Indiana Hoosiers and flipped Commitment to Kansas Jayhawks basketball… Dated March 4, 2025. AI has a long way to go.

Can't you get around this just by contacting the player's agent and not the player? This used to be done all the time but with the AAU or HS coach of the player.

Ah so you personally need to ask journalists to do something for them to do the job.

Is he supposed to make things up? I’ve been critical of him for turning into an entertainment blogger over journalist, but I’m not sure what he’s supposed to do here.

Eventually, but it's skyrocketing and not showing signs of slowing down. I don't think we've hit a ceiling that can't be stomached by an increasingly large number of mega-wealthy folks whose NIL donations aren't even statistically significant to be a normal accounting rounding error. These people can spend millions on a single vacation. The entertainment, connection, and excitement donating directly to your favorite team to win is probably amazing.

Why is it unsustainable?

There are laws everywhere in this country that aren't followed because they are old, stupid, and would cost more to remove than just keep ignoring. Dancing is banned in some counties in this country.

Rules do not equal morality. It used to be a rule that women couldn't run the Boston Marathon. Kathrine Switzer is a hero.

Just because it's a rule doesn't make it right.

Yeah I get that part, but aren't we top 5ish in NIL then the bidding war part just wouldn't be true.

If it's a bidding war, why would an SEC school have a better chance than us?
