Another issue they had was they got gready. I'm not sure how many races they ran in their peak but they started racing every weekend. And they went to more cities. Previously you mostly had to be in...

I think it's possible this could implode with fewer fans similar to what happened to NASCAR. But time will tell. Fans have been threatening to leave for various reasons over the past few years but...

They are telling each of the recruits they have the next 3 years they will start but only one will win the job. They may each start eventually due to injury or transfer, but every school brings in...

But they all think they can start at those schools or they often won't go there. If you think you could start for 3 years at Ohio State or 4 years at Toledo, you are going to pick Ohio State. Not...

Cities have stadiums because they are great venues to host and recruit many events. Think of the Fargodome. Take away the 8-10 Bison games and maybe a couple other events that are Bison football...

No guarantee of that. Also in the article:

Kalieb Osborne, a three-star commit from Waterford, Mich., has committed in the 2024 class. Walter Moses, a three-star prospect from Perry, Ohio, is...

A local kid verbally committed to Toledo today over offers from Georgia, Indiana, Washington, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia. He's only a sophomore so 2 more seasons before he can sign,...

The only reason there was loyalty before was because the athlete had to sit out for a year if they transferred up or within the FBS level. NIL gave schools another tool to help recruit so that added...

Nothing you said is wrong. But the athletics programs within a university are their own entity in many ways. They are a great marketing tool for the school in many cases. Butler is another good...

The money comes in both direct and indirect ways. The economic impact of those stadiums is greater than the revenue generated for tickets but the related business of people who attend events. Hotels,...

That's not true. Just a few I've attended it am familiar with. Monster Truck. Super Cross. Concerts. Final Four. College Football Championship. Super Bowl. NFL Combine. Big Ten Football championship....

The one we have in Indy is used for so much more than the Colts. I'm guessing it's used 200 days a year for something. Only 10-12 of those are for the Colts. It makes sense for someone other than the...

How many head football coaches are there at that university? How many professors? How much revenue is that football program bringing into the athletic department? How much indirect revenue does the...

The student athlete as given a scholarship to be a member of the team for that academic school year (or possibly semester depending on when they transfer). Their role may vary in a given season, but...

They earned that in the season they played. They fulfilled their commitment. If they were prepaid scholarships for the following season I could see paying that back. But that's not how this works.
...

The money would go back to whoever provided it (i.e. collective). The schools aren't involved in the money itself when it comes to NIL. Again, they provide input on who it should go to. I wonder if...

Theoretically the college isn't involved with NIL money. There is at a minimum conversations between the coaches and NIL funders (collective in our case) to identify the players the Bison want to...

Trey is a prefect example of the role luck sometimes plays. Opportunity is also key. Sometimes getting the right coach or team at the right time lauches a career. Nothing about sports is prefect....

I think a certain percentage of those athletes would have not been on scholarship the following year before the portal. They either would have decided to quit due to lack of paying time or other...

I haven't seen any specific numbers recently but I'm the first couple years of the transfer portal I remember a number around 50% did NOT get a scholarship elsewhere. Some may have gotten walkons or...

I don't think it will change it that much. They are only so many who will watch it. It could see a slight bump, but being on ESPN, I don't see it getting to 3 or 4 million. Still like the move...

The number of scholarships increase. NAIA has fewer restrictions around recruiting so you'll have student athletes that maybe couldn't get accepted so many D2 schools. From a football perspective can...

I believe this is all taxable income, but I'm not 100% certain. Not sure why it wouldn't be. If you get scholarships that cover not then tuition and fees, that excess is also taxable.

You are considering Bloomington as Peoria. Although Peoria is only about 30 minutes from BloNo. BloNo is about 170k and Peoria MSA is about 400k. Downtown Chicago is only about 2 hours away.

Compared to Fargo, Normal is balmy. Yes, they'll get some cold and snow but similar to Indy their normal winter is like the one Fargo had this year. And BloNo is a pretty cool smaller city with a...
