There is a way but it would require the players to have a union and a CBA between the players' union and the NCAA/conference, etc. Pro sports have restrictions on making money off the field. They can get legit sponsorships, but an owner (i.e. booster) of a pro team can't pay someone the league minimum then give them a phony sponsorship to basically pay them under the table/skirt the salary cap rules.
Pre-COVID, the rule was you had 5 years to play 4 seasons. You can use the redshirt season at any point during those 5 years (most obviously use it the first year because they're not ready to contribute as freshman). Once that redshirt year is used, you have to petition the NCAA for an extra year if you missed another season (or majority of the season) due to injury.
Bringing in someone else that plays the same position as a HS recruit is not recruiting over them. Recruiting over someone is bringing in a younger guy to take their spot.
This is just feelings-ball and not related to any actual digging into the data, but I'd assume it just felt that way because Washington had more explosive/big plays than Michigan. Not that UM didn't have any, but the preferred MO was ground game/control the clock and only bust out the passing game when necessary. UM certainly had a lot more possessions that were long, methodical drives compared to Washington's approach of trying to hit a home run on as many plays as possible.
Also JJ had a bum ankle that game. But most importantly, the coaches knew that PSU wasn't going to score with their mediocre offense against the best D in the country. The only way PSU wins that game is by getting points off of a turnover, so they weren't going to risk a strip-sack or JJ getting hit as he threw it leading to an INT.
Yeah it seems like there are a few incorrect statements in there.
Like, if you redshirt your freshman year, you aren't guaranteed a fifth year. You're guaranteed the initial 4, then the coach is welcome to give you the "firm handshake" instead of giving you a 5th year.
He's going to be covering her for at least a few years as the Indy Star sports writer. I hope she just refuses to acknowledge him whenever he asks questions at a presser.
Do the payments have to be uniform to all players? Spending as it currently is (not talking about directly paying players) isn't even close to uniform (see different facilities between say the football team and women's field hockey for example). And mandating equal payments to everyone is just silly, you wouldn't run a business that way. There's a reason upper management makes way more than say a secretary, etc. So it would stand to reason that the school would have more funds for the teams that bring in money (men's football and basketball) compared to all others that basically lose money.
Or just fire him. I know he has a ton of shit takes (see his stuff pop up all the time given my location/fandom of Indy sports), but it seems like most of the time he's just trolling for clicks. I know I know, all online journalists do that to an extent, but it's just gotten to an absurd level.
NIL money doesn't come directly from the school, so not sure you have a point about "Michigan makes top 5 money but refuses to share it." However, the school/AD/program needs to do a better job of facilitating and getting the deals lined up for the players sooner to give May a better chance of landing kids like this.
Yeah OP screwed that one up. It was the move from Baltimore to Indy that happened in the middled of the night, I believe by Jim Irsay's dad. The move from Cleveland was announced halfway into the season.
Looks like they were all juniors last year (just going through the box scores and looking at top scorers), so presumably they should've been able to get undergraduate degrees already.
Didn't get "crazy" seems like he was still contacted by other teams but he was able to shut it down quickly. Not that the NCAA would actually do anything about tampering though.
The only thing the headline said was the he failed (in his duties as coach). Are you disputing that after they won only 8 games all year? Yeah admissions and all that, but 8 wins is a failure.

Cheapest tickets on the secondary market when they came to Indy last year were over $300 each...
"Z gon' give it to ya" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Related to Obi? ESPN is blocked on work computer so I haven't read the articles.

Tugger's agent only collected a small percentage of what he was going to make since MSU didn't have to pay him the full contract/fired him for cause.
What prevents that from happening is the salary cap/rules against those kinds of outside payments.

Why can't going to school be a requirement for their employment? I have to take continuing education classes for my job.
It's been about 8 years since I've been to a game, right around the time my oldest was born.
Lol at "phone jacking"
It smells like a urine trough because of all of the urine troughs (been a few years since I've been there though). I absolutely hate those things.

Right? I saw Semaj and just assume Semaj Morgan.

To your last paragraph, I don't know how much Kork really cares about the "long-term" portion of that. He's getting paid regardless.

No.

Jace isn't a walk on, he's already using a scholarship.
EDIT: I believe he may have used up his 4 years (but still has a COVID year?) So I guess his 4-year scholarship is up.
I stated in the previous thread I think he needs to go, but I just don't see it happening.

Wasn't PSU still putting 8 in the box on most of those plays? If so, doesn't seem like they were respecting the pass.
That's a lot of stats to back up an awful take.

This is a bad post and you should feel bad.
And JH. Remember when they wanted him to sign a lifetime contract?
And he's gotten into it a few times with opposing teams' fans. The thinnest skin.
Although JH should know if he's in SD or LA...
Isn't that from May's introductory press conference?
LSU's starting point guard played for Louisville the past 3 years...
You don't math, do you?

Prove it.
Also it would be tampering if he tried to recruit those FAU players who aren't in the portal. We all know how much the NCAA cares about tampering...
But his cooperation would be pretty important.

Thank you for answering my question. +1 to you
OP isn't selling them, but whatever store he finds to print it is.
Right, and I assume they had to pay to do so.
Wouldn't this infringe on 3 different trademarks? IP is not my area.
Natural Ice.
Genuinely curious why that matters? I've seen people have surgery to repair a torn meniscus and be back a few weeks later. ACL, not so much.
Is it just when both are torn it just takes that much longer to rehab?
Now you're just trolling.

What did it say then?
It said "Fab 5 Failure," how is that different?

Moore is a head coach (albeit at FCS level), so why would he want to be a position coach?
If Moore does well there for a few years, he'll certainly move up the ranks to a MAC level HC job.
