Think he'll stay for 2026 barring astronomical stuff. Just about every NFL team wants him. Read yesterday the Rams and McVeigh would love to get him in the next draft. If does go pro after this season, he'll definitely be the first pick. Nuss, Sellers, whomever, aren't even close.

I know Ogden's visit is scheduled for the Ohio State weekend. Miller told Rothstein a couple of months ago that he's going to the Ohio State game. How does that work? Are they taking Bo Ogden to the Ohio State game?

Keep in mind this was on that Pansy Podcast with Commie Mike, who loves anti-Texas schtick, thinking it will help him in the aggregate market.

Constitutionally speaking, there's really no foundation for the validity of the order. If the order purports to provide guidance to the departments of the executive branch about how to execute the application of federal law, the immediate response is there is no law. Conversely, if the order intends to establish a "legal framework" for departments of the executive branch to enforce legal restrictions established by the order itself, then it clearly violates separation of powers and is simply unconstitutional. Either way it has no chance of affecting the actual outcome of this saga. It's pure theatre.

Yeah, the crazy executive order train picked up major steam sixteen years ago. It's only accelerated since.

You guys are overreacting a little. Not the first time Bobby said a cuss word. I would say the keys are sparingly and not said in such a way as to be gratuitous or lascivious.

Again, even federal legislation that attempts to curtail Fifth Amendment rights of players absent their consent is unlikely to withstand judicial scrutiny given that the Supreme Court has already adamantly warned college athletics not to come back asking for an anti-trust exemption. There's no grounds for an exemption if the players aren't employees.

On its face, the order doesn't really bind anything because it doesn't do what executive orders have the power to do, which is clarify the application of federal legislation. The federal judiciary will view this as nothing but chatter. This has less legal standing than the House Settlement, which we've already seen is shaky.

I just figured out that the lead female vocalist from Jefferson Starship is Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane who sang White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. I literally grew up listening to both and I didn't know.

You can get consent from players without unionization. Most employee contracts in the US aren't unionized.

Yes, it would. Unionization benefits employees that don't have rare skills because it sets a baseline level of compensation above real market value. The reason some professional sports are unionized is to set a baseline level of security for all players.

Federal legislation that doesn't give the players the right to agree to the terms won't withstand judicial scrutiny. The Supreme Court has basically said that. Colleges don't want players of revenue generating sports to be employees, but they can't get around it as long as they are making money off the players.

Essentially the collective can operate just like third parties rather than as originally defined as "affiliated." Still needs CSC approval, but doesn't count against the "cap." I've said more than a dozen times on here that the idea of controlling marketing deals was patently idiotic. First threat of legal action and it goes away. Next will be the CSC itself.

It's a good thing Kirby prioritized relationships over transactions. He runs a wholesome program that values ethics above all.

Just the beginning. This "agreement" signals the CSC is already admitting they can't win in court. The only way to get the guardrails they keep clamoring for is to make athletes employees.

When I got to Palo Duro, I met two dopers (guy and girl) from Texas Tech. They asked me to go into Canyon to eat dinner. I did. They were good people, but they were dopers. I said let's go back to camp and hike up the canyon tomorrow morning. They agreed. They started with me at dawn. About fifteen minutes later they stopped, Barbecued with them that night.

Twenty? Remember driving to Palo Duro Canyon listening to Grace White Rabbit followed by America Horse with no Name in Clarendon, TX.

Grew up around Traylor in Gilmer. Mom says can't say anything good don't say anything. Went to Texas as undergraduate. University of Chicago as a graduate student where Rosen was my director. Go ask Alice. Bizarre.

Eagles fans cuss Santa Claus and Jesus. We got one here.

This is where we need mods to clearly differentiate good from bad. Since we have Eagles fans here, not surprising it's the same as dealing with criminal sooners.

I think the Longhorns would rather Lott admit he's a long term corner. Oregon will play him until he transfers or switches to defense.

True enough, I suppose. Never made a post I wouldn't want a ten year old to see.

Kinda stuff I could do without.
