Penn State NIL news

Without giving this much thought, and hoping to generate some discussion.
  • Get off my lawn moment. Some part of me thinks this is the beginning of the end of college athletics as we know it, and I long for simpler days. Then again, every change that came before this was, too.
  • Who am I kidding? NIL has been going on under the table for years, at least in football. I have a friend who coached a recent backup QB at Alabama. This kid told him that the stuff they were getting from supporters was unbelievable. And, this kid will never take a snap for Alabama. Maybe this levels the playing field...
  • For the haves. The rich, and the big, get richer and bigger. How long will the have nots continue to have not and still support niche programs?
  • The law of unintended consequences may have dire, well, consequences.

Mine is, get out of my frking pasture before you get run over by a bull. Other than that.. yeah, this to me is the Olympics when the pros started playing. It's over as we know it.

Just saw someone do the joke about the agent that shows up at a ranch, and the rancher says, "Just don't go in that field." The agent says, "See this badge? I can go anywhere I please." As the bull is chasing him across that field a little while later, the rancher says, "Your badge, show him your badge!"

Sounds like The Ranch. What the F are Uggs.
 
This has me very intrigued - great group of leaders spearheading this

Interesting.... very similar to the HV Talent concept that was released by the Chamber and Adventure Bureau but more expensive to join. Are these two competing now for NIL? Oh, PSU can’t be involved. So let’s get the locals to design and conceptualize and we’ll hijack it.
 
Perfect Storm... Rangers dominate in the reg season but get thumped in the post season! I'm with the Pens but not putting much $ if any on it :)

I figure this is a good opportunity to engage in mindless trash talk with a Rangers Penguins first round commencing on Tuesday night, and the Rangers pretty much owning the Pens all year long.

Yinz are older then Iowa's lineup and are gonna get swept.

I can't even defend my Pens. They're limping into the playoffs. The Iowa analogy is unfortunately accurate. But there will be no sweeping.

Throw out anything that happened in the regular season. Need a hot goalie, minimize injuries, and stars must shine.
 
I hope they're also doing market surveys to understand what is possible for the less heralded athletes.

Loved the BYU Football deal where all the walk ons on got free tuition.

Something Iike that would be huge for nonrevenue sports, where almost nobody gets a full ride and most get just an attaboy.
I agree completely. I was also impressed with byu when I read that.

Which makes the New York Islanders record of 19 consecutive playoff series wins in the early 80s one of the least likely to be broken team records in North American professional sports.
