Just when you think James Dolan might be turning the corner, he does some diabolical shit like this.

In the "second tier" of college sports' caste system, Miami is positioning itself for a conference move while exploring football independence and fighting against a federal bill.
"If we have to go independent," the president says, "I like our chances."

Reading through the Pinioin/Simpson decision, the federal judge was quite a bit more deferential to the NCAA's role as a rulemaking body for college sports than most courts have been.
Bad luck for those two players, and for Providence.
A Message From AD Steve Napolillo
ALT Earlier this week, legal counsel for Joseph Pinion and Derek Simpson presented arguments before the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island in support of a temporary restraining order that would permit Joseph and Derek to compete for Providence College during the 2026–2027 men’s basketball season. Providence College Athletics is deeply disappointed by today’s ruling. We believe Joseph and Derek’s case is compelling and is supported by decisions issued in other states where Big East member institutions compete. It is important to note that Joseph and Derek are the only men’s basketball Big East student-athletes who sought temporary restraining orders and did not receive their TRO at their initial ruling. After consulting with their legal counsel, Joseph and Derek are proceeding with the next steps in the legal process, including seeking a preliminary injunction. As that process continues, Providence College remains fully supportive of these two student-athletes.

The CFP describes itself as a non-entity, a pass-through that only implements the desires of its members, college football's conferences.
So why in the heck has it spent $5 million lobbying Congress?

Ezekiel Elliott is the latest former college star to sue the NCAA and others over lost NIL earnings.
So far, none of the athletes who have sued have won, mainly because they waited too long to bring their claims.
Will Elliott be any different?

Worth two minutes of your time to hear Jimmy Rogers lay bare one of the main ills facing big-time college sports and the athletes themselves.
Iowa State Daily's @henry_annen asked Rogers what he needs from new AD Jared Benko to elevate Iowa State football.
Good stuff.

Sports agencies are a fascinating business.
- Top 6 NBA Agencies = 64% of market share
- Bottom 70 Agencies = remaining 36% market share
Tough business to build… but VERY lucrative once you reach scale.

College football's top donors used to fund buildings. Now they buy QBs. What's the payoff?
I wrote about the Mega Booster Era of college sports, and why the only "donor fatigue" is a fear of their favorite school falling behind.

The Brewers were in a 6-year playoff drought when they sold Timeless Tickets for $1K, promising a seat for any home game—even a World Series clash.
Fans held onto hope for over a decade. But now some feel the Brewers didn't fully live up to the deal...

✍️ A year ago at this point, nine teams had fired their coach. This year, it's zero.
After a decade of normalizing midseason firings, we may be moving back to normal coaching carousel timeline.

Not unsurprisingly, higher player payroll leads to a higher chance of winning in college football.
As noted, financial advantages which translated to wins were previously expressed through facilities and coach pay.
Now you can add player payroll to that list.
How much does a college football team’s roster budget matter? We're tracking the results!
So far, teams with a $5M+ advantage have won 68% of the time. When it’s at least $10M, they have won 80% of the time.
And we're updating live through the season:

NEW: Urban Meyer admits he "misfired" about the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on College Football:
"I thought the rich would get richer. What it’s done is make parity in college football. I’ve talked to many of my colleagues in the last couple weeks. You flip on UCLA and then you flip on Alabama, what’s the difference? I don’t know. One team runs the ball a little better, and that’s UCLA. It’s amazing what has really happened to the game of college football with the NIL and with the transfer portal."
