@Bratmaster73 @TaraBull You’re that guy who always gets a table with his back to back wall so you can see the secret agents coming in, aren’t you?

@TaraBull Why, pray tell, is she oblivious to her surroundings with her nose buried in her phone? That is categorically unsafe anymore. We all need to be situationally aware of our surroundings but it’s especially (sadly) true for more vulnerable people. 🤔🤨

Comedian Kelly Collette was slapped on the butt in broad daylight by a man on an e-bike in Cincinnati on May 15, 2026. She chased him and shared security footage. The suspect, Roger Styles, 24, was arrested the next day and faces multiple counts of 'sexuaI imposition'. Police say he has done similar "drive-by" grabs to other women in the area.

@jonejohnston @pfnnewmedia @WinterSportsLaw @B1Gfootball @NCAA I understand that when I voluntarily join a member organization, and agree to its rules, I need to follow them.

@pfnnewmedia @WinterSportsLaw @B1Gfootball @NCAA you understand none of this

Nebraska’s AD confirmed that if the CSC does not clear the resubmitted deals that were the subject of the recent arbitration hearing, the Nebraska AG will step in to challenge the CSC/NCAA. The state law says athletes & schools can’t be penalized for athletes being paid NIL $.

@heitner Yeah, because the state-level hodgepodge of laws is working so well. I am confident there is plenty wrong with SCORE. I am also confident that no matter what they do, someone will have something to complain about and sue them.

Members of Congress may want to consider the message from multiple state attorneys general before voting for the SCORE Act. "The Founders of our great nation recognized that the concentration of power inevitably corrupts and that only a system constrained by checks and balances and accountable to the people can endure over time. By eliminating any serious checks on NCAA authority, we expect the SCORE Act will ultimately deliver arbitrary and unaccountable enforcement by an NCAA fully empowered to be more overbearing than it has ever been before."

@RobertGC2001 @Brett_McMurphy Those are the talking points they have been given for the Coaching Extended Tenure Playoff - competitive (it wound't be), more Group of 6 (see Competative, above), more teams with opportunity, we get to keep our jobs longer.

I’m starting to lose confidence in Norvell. “24 would be competitive”? “Group of six options”? 👀 A lot of people said he was done, but I was holding out hope. I was hoping he could be redeemed. If this is the mindset FSU is dealing with it’s time to pull the trigger with him, sadly.

Florida State’s Mike Norvell on an expanded playoff: “24 is a good number. It would be a very competitive field being able to have some automatic (Power 4) qualifiers - whether it's half (the field) & then some at large & Group of 6 options”

@EdLawDude It's like you are new to all this. Shock, lawyers charge high fees. Shock, a new system is challenged, and roadmaps for further challenges are created. Who didn't think either of these things was going to happen? X NIL lawyers are posting a lot of nonsense today.

So CSC likely spent well over $1 million in legal and arbitrator fees to win a narrow, fact-specific case while creating a roadmap for future challenges.

Doesn't seem like much of a win to me. The arbitrator raised serious concerns about the valuation model, especially excluding cleared associated-entity deals from the comparator database. That is not a small issue. It goes to the heart of how NIL Go is supposed to work.

@WinterSportsLaw @TomMarsLaw Nothing is more stupid than high-charging lawyers complaining about higher-charging lawyers. Especially when it's the X NIL lawyers who are bringing the lawsuits that have to be defended. Goodness.

@TomMarsLaw Works out to something like 2 attorneys billing around 10 hours every day. Amazing

In the 56 days since it was announced that the Nebraska players were going to arbitration, the CSC says it spent $750K in legal fees, which amounts to $13,392 a day, seven days a week. I’d love to see those invoices. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@heitner A lawyer complaining about another lawyer's fees ... I am sure the man on the street feels terrible. The irony is that it's the X NIL lawyers that are doing all the suing - which is fine - that allows the other lawyers to charge their fees. Cause it and whine about it. SMH

The CSC paid $750k in legal fees in an expedited arbitration process?! I’m clearly not charging enough..

@gaypulp @DouglasKMurray @nypost LOL, Commie.

@DouglasKMurray @nypost Then don't let them leave, or have a leaving tax 50% of assets. You can't loot the city and then run.

‘Tax the rich’ is a student slogan. 1% of New Yorkers already pay half the tax yield. The city cannot afford to chase them away with dumb slogans and the politics of grievance. @nypost nypost.com/2026/05/07/opi…

@RSaintJ @HumorsTumor @Canes He’s laughing because we’re kicking your ass and all you can do is throw a tantrum!

@HumorsTumor @Canes He’s laughing cause they all know deep down they don’t want none

@T__Baloney @awfulannouncing No one is crying … many are pointing out why it would be bad. I’m not getting on board until it happens. Until then I will push back against it.

@awfulannouncing If you want to push back the tide with a broom, have at it. If there's anything we've learned from college football it's that money trumps everything. You can either cry about it and stomp your feet or get on board.

"I think that college football should be run by people who like college football. And every decision, every idea I've seen about playoff expansion seems like it's come from people who don't like college football, don't know why we like it... A 24-team playoff would be a disgrace." - Kevin Clark

@nicknactax @LukeSkywalkr @awfulannouncing We are at 12, nobody thinks we are going back to less than that. We may go to 16, which has some good aspects to it. Going to 24 is absurd and you have no evidence we are going to do that. Most people hate it. 3 and 4 loss teams should not be in.

You didn't actually present evidence that refutes that. You stated an opinion that Regional games are better. That's not evidence. Evidence goes towards proving or disproving a pre-stated position. Nothing you stated refuted the fact that this is where we are and we aren't going back.

@WinterSportsLaw @NicoleAuerbach Why would anybody in the world think there wouldn’t be litigation. With all due respect to the Twitter NIL lawyers, of course they’re gonna keep suing. Sometimes justified sometimes not. It’s just the way the system works.

@NicoleAuerbach Yeah, not an easy position. I’m just acknowledging there will likely be litigation.

Don’t be surprised if lawsuits are filed relating to the decision to not grandfather athletes into the NCAA’s age based eligibility rule. It’s similar to the situation after NCAA rules allowed Alston awards (Hubbard case) & NIL pay (House case). Tough spot for the NCAA.

@WinterSportsLaw You guys keep forgetting the rule of reason. That’s why they keep winning these cases, especially in federal court. Interesting you guys never mentioned that.

This is why the NCAA will keep getting sued regardless of what its eligibility rules are.👇 We’ll probably see a class action relating to the age based eligibility rule change.

@McCannSportsLaw @DanielLibit Good thing they win about 80% of these. This is one rule we should all agree on.

New NCAA eligibility rules won't stop eligibility lawsuits, since the same issue remains: an athlete deemed ineligible on account of having been in college sports too long contends they are in a sports labor market where they sell athletic services to schools in exchange for NIL and revenue-share opportunities, and that schools want to buy their services and would offer them money but for the rule. The rule is subject to antitrust scrutiny, since it isn't collectively bargained and it excludes members of a labor workforce (who are also college students, but college students can be in a labor workforce; those two statuses are not mutually exclusive). The NCAA wins most of the cases but not all, so it can't enforce the same set of rules nationally. So some schools get a leg up over others by playing seasoned athletes who courts deem can play despite the rule. If this script sounds familiar, it is, and it has been playing out since 2024. sportico.com/law/analysis/2….

@mossman86 @Blank_Takes That’s just not true. The coverage of the canes has been extraordinarily positive. I am a Canes STM, and have been very pleased at how positive the coverage has been.

@Blank_Takes And I watch some of the NHL Network on tv and listen to some of NHL radio on XM and we get little to no coverage…and what we do get is not very complimentary.

Nobody watches the Canes play hockey all year and then convinces themselves they are beatable bc they don't have a "superstar" forward on the roster. And yet, every year the Canes lay belt to ass to every single team that isnt a top notch cup contender. I always say, Carolina embarrasses good teams in the playoffs. And then they GET embarrassed by great teams in the playoffs. Lol Picking the Sens in this series just shows that these people know nothing, and I do mean NOTHING about the Canes. Probably still don't. Because this dominance isn't new.

@ReinhardStindl @HitchTheHitch2 @thomaseisenhuth Seriously? Satire site? They have literally flown plane’s and driven trains into it - no problem. And terrorists will have no chance of getting to a nuclear plant, and if they did what are they going to do? They can’t blow it up. Not the issue you want it to be.

@TimBrando What leverage have they lost? They still make the calls with the B1G by contract. Their viewership numbers dwarf everyone else. Results are cyclical with new parity. Fox could have bid before and didn’t or lost.

Ross it appears Greg fails to understand his Conference no longer has the same kinda leverage. It’s only a matter of time. Advancing this further means having to cooperate with more than one media entity. That’s clearly outside his comfort zone. If you’re searching for an answer as to why? I’ll only speak for myself. That’s my opinion on the matter. 👍🎙️🎧

@heitner @AaronGogley What’s funny? You know what they were trying to do … get rid of pay for play. I get that your meal ticket is chaos but some of us want the players to get paid and the sports survive and thrive.

@AaronGogley lol

Good for Kalen DeBoer! That’s market forces at work. He’s getting $12.5 million per year because Alabama believes that’s his worth. The school is the arbiter of fair market value and there’s no third party that can reject the deal. Yet, athletes must submit deals to a College Sports Commission so that it, which has no basis for making “fair market value” determinations, can unilaterally and arbitrarily decide whether deals are accepted or rejected. It’s such a perverse system.

@hokiebobby @nickatnocap They are the only sports that generate profit, that’s why all the emphasis is on them. All the other sports lose money and are subsidized by football and basketball.

@nickatnocap How much money does there other sports get? Tired of this football bball special treatment

I have gotten a look behind the curtain at a lot of athletic departments over the last few years. Built relationships with the leadership at a lot of these schools. Seen how they operate, how they budget, how they think about what comes next. Out of all of that, I have not seen anyone thinking the way Florida State and @SeminoleBooster's are right now. Not just on the fundraising side, but on the revenue generation side. On how they engage fans and alumni beyond just asking for donations. On how they look at the operating spend that already exists inside their ecosystem and find ways to optimize and monetize it. On how they plan to provide real, measurable ROI to the people who invest in the program. Most athletic departments are still running the same three plays: Tickets, Donors, Media rights, and using the same strategies for each of them. And when the math gets tight, they ask the same people for more money. FSU is asking a different question. How do we build revenue that scales? How do we create value for the businesses and alumni in our network, not just extract from them? How do we make this sustainable? They are thinking like a real business, but they have the speed and mindset of a startup. That combination is rare in college sports. It is almost nonexistent at least from what I have seen. FSU is building that infrastructure right now, and I think people are going to be talking about what they built for a long time. It is already starting to show up in their recruiting during this basketball transfer portal powered by @lukeloucks Excited to be a part of FSU's future with @NOCAPSports 🗡️

@Nando1542674 @LanceHathorn @B1OBEY0ND @crimsonvad3r And yet seems like Indiana play crap OOC schedules. What’s funny is I think you’re being smart, while we were stupid to go along with it. But either way you’re being a hypocrite.

@LanceHathorn @B1OBEY0ND @crimsonvad3r Playing the same amount of conference games as other conferences is a fair ask. Now you will.

Indiana and Curt Cignetti should be ashamed of themselves
