@iugradman don’t worry about Texas. They are being cheap. He’s a Hoosier from my standpoint
We already have laws that address issues like breach of contract and tortious interference with a contract.
Just need schools and collectives that are willing to sue to enforce them.
Of course, they have to prove damages, which might be hard, but it also might not be hard. They'd know better than me.
Also this is ridiculous. Maybe Congress can step in a force college footballs hand.
Yes, that's exactly what we need to fix this. Congress.
You think it's screwed up now, just wait until a bunch of professional politicians get their hands on after the wannabe and former politicians have done so well with it.
Unfortunately there are no other alternatives.....states were beginning to pass legislation respecting regulating college athletics/compensation that was out of left field......and if the schools ever DID get their shit together and come up with a plan there'd be 15 lawsuits in 15 different states filed attempting to abrogate it, unless it had the stamp of approval of Congress.
I get it, but I stand by my statement.
Congress can screw up a wet dream.
That's why you have ex-jocks, administrators, coaches come up with the plan with Congress just to vote on it. Keep the politics out of it as much as possible. Leadership is required.......I think the conference commissioners should be leading but there are too many divergent interests.
This is one reason why I thought it would be helpful to college football to have ND in the BT.......to advance a plan for going forward.
Congress has passed anti-trust exemptions before and that's what it's going to take to get college sports under some level of control. The NCAA & the schools cooked their golden goose for being far too greedy for far too long. The pendulum has swung back HARD in favor of the players now. While I'm happy for them, there also needs to be something that gets it a little more under control vs. it turning into a truly professional environment.
Cig is elated there. Don't often see that much emotion.
Joe Brunner leaves Wisconsin, Fickel adds Lucas Simmons from Florida State. Fairly highly rated RS sophomore Off. Tackle .
I know Fickel hasn't done a lot there yet but I think he's gaining ground. I'm sure he wanted to add a lineman not lose a guy add a guy, but still nice pickup for them.
@tjinman1987 and don’t we have to assume some of our younger players and back ups are ready to go? We’ve had pretty good luck with that.

Don't know if this has been posted, but played with Hoover.
Bostad for the win as far as I'm concerned. Really the only positive from that last Allen staff.

Diligence is the mother of good luck. Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and keep. Work as if you were to live 100 years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow. All progress springs from work. Work has laid the foundation of every fortune in America. – Benjamin Franklin

@tammany all year we’ve heard how “Uncle Mark” gave us a blank check and that’s why we are winning…be careful what you put into the air. We were spending good money, but now we are going to be true heavy hitters!

I knew @unclemark was secretly wealthy.
@hurryinghoosiers the other Uncle Mark, but if he wants to start dropping those checks on the team he can be my uncle 😂

Indeed. In addition to Mark, I know Cook and everyone that works with them have been going all out with fundraising/donations. Plus I think our whole alumni base is excited and all those checks add up. Amazing how fast our resources ramped up.
Credit Scott Dolson too on this, in addition to everything else he's done and got right.
