I’m not an expert on betting..but I gotta think with NIL they could have made more money than that

NCAA penalty: loss of college eligibility

All 3 players were seniors that season….

Pure comedy

I looked the players up on S-R.  Robinson was listed as a Jr. last season.  Not that it matters.  

On other note.  Would the Feds get involved in this "case?"

Probably not, just 3 players relatively small amount and not sure if it’s a fed offense- — but then I’m a civil litigator I don’t practice criminal law so don’t have specific knowledge here

I don’t know where to put this, don’t even care, needs to be here somewhere. 40-something Chinese hooper in business casual putting on an absolute footwork clinic on some young dudes. Imagine when he was younger that guy got some work done against some pretty legit players.

SEC schools trying figure out how to cheat by circumventing NIL Go (what a ridiculous name that is). Who could've guessed!?

"Our visits are later, which is a good thing for us so we can see the market based on the visits they're already taking," one SEC assistant said. "The biggest unknown is what our budget's going to be. We know what our rev share number is potentially going to be. But are collectives going to come back in the fold and can we get that money back? NIL Go, will there be substantial deals? Will we be able to go around NIL Go? One of the biggest things teams are working on right now is how to circumvent NIL Go, figuring out areas that NIL Go can't touch."

That is a great article.

What a mess.  I would hate to be a coaching staff in this environment.  I've heard enough about CDD to be confident he can navigate this chaos.

I assume if there is a need to work around NIL Go with schemes like investing in a player's "business" vs. paying them for their N/I/L, IU will do what's needed to be competitive.  The money must flow.

A fight breaks out in Kentucky you say? I picture something like this:

 

Cletus: "Hey Pa, get your grubby hands away from my girlfriend!"

Pa: "Listen, son, that's my wife and your mama. You git and go a-courtin with Verlene over there."

Cletus: "But that my sister!"

Verlene: "Thanks, Pa, Cletus sure is a handsome one! And with so many teeth!!"

Jeff Goodman -

Lawyer Mark Peper, who represents the majority of the Wofford players who were deemed ineligible due to NCAA rules, told @TheFieldOf68 that the players have been reinstated by the NCAA. “All players reinstated. No suspensions, no penalties, no repayment,” Peper said.
