If you want a good illustration of how f’ed up the whole NIL process is, look up the saga that is Jaden Rashada.

His attorneys are hilariously positioning him as a victim. Unbelievable 

He lost out on millions of dollars because he was lied to. I can't blame him for jumping on the ~50% raise he was promised over what he would've gotten at Miami. I hope he wins his lawsuit.

Lying to players about how much money they'll get from NIL is pretty common.

I'm not even sure how you can lie. It should be pretty simple. Ban collectives, ban talking about NIL. If a business wants to give you money, then so be it. If you want to make money off jersey sells, then so be it. That's where the NCAA screwed up. No back bone. Completely incompetent.

Not sure how you can lie? Pretty easily. "The collective will pay you this much" followed by the collective paying much less.

Where the NCAA screwed up is holding on to the amateur, athletes are not employees arguments too long and hard then losing in court because they were trying to restrict the rights of students who were just amateur non-employees by their own argument. Completely incompetent, yes, but not for the reasons you state.

The NCAA tried to ban talk of NIL. They lost in court. The NCAA doesn't have the power to ban collectives and if they tried, they'd lose in court.

The only way this really gets sorted out is through a collective bargaining agreement.

I wonder if he even remembers the name of the school they were at before CU. He just refers to it as "HBCU."

"Everyone's Super Bowl." They were 4-8. lmao

Interesting story that fills in some of the blanks on that weird-a$$ temporary stadium thing that Northwestern’s doing. Not sure it’s gonna work all that well, but I admire what they’re trying to do. And IU plays there this year.

Their website seems to be having errors. When I looked at the list it somehow left out IU. I tried reloading the page but the error persisted.

My favorite version of this is Corey Lajoie running a Chili's paint scheme with QR codes on the hood this year at the Daytona 500. Yeah man, let me just focus my iPhone camera on your 200mph hood as you go by so I can enter the sweepstakes to win a free basket of chips and salsa.

Thought this was interesting. Not sure how accurate it is, but Colorado is throwing around some cash. Sorry if its already been shared.

Ok, this may be the greatest trivia fact in the history of trivia facts:

Deion Sanders, he of the HOF resume and dump truck-sized ego, had 14 career interceptions at Florida St and is tied on their all time list with:

Lee freaking Corso!

Almost drove off the road when I heard that one. Awesome.
