If this is true #1 that is a 25 times increase in one year if my math is correct. How can this kind of annual increases be sustainable even for the big boys.

This is why I kept saying until a contract is signed it is not over and people scoffed. The bottom line is nothing is ever over until it is over.

Do we know if this is a legit event - could it be a hack account?>

Giving a kid a schollie so you can maybe get a younger teammate is not something that often works out. Best to offer any kid you think will fit with your but not for other reasons.

Would seem to me if Schertz thought Nitu was better, he would place his emphasis there.

Well when players work-study there were probably not many international student athletes. The Federal Government laws have no reason to care about the NCAA

Agreed - also, with NIL any good local players who would show any interest in SLU will could be given a good NIL deal

International players not getting NIL is not an NCAA rule but probably a federal visa restriction. If you come to the USA on a student visa you cannot work and getting paid NIL is getting paid.

Don'r forget they are still getting a free education and room and board. I think some just discount that and it should nor be.

This not sustainable if it keeps going up by these significant numbers.

I wonder if all the mid majors and the P5 schools who are left out would be best to simply not form conferences but to form one big group who profit from a TV contract for the whole group. This way nobody is left out and you can spend as much as you want by getting your donors and other revenue sources to pay up. Conferences may be a thing of the past. This group could hold there own Dance.

Maybe he needs some one to get the coffee

OK

I believe there were those who have said the money was there but May dug his heels in - at least that is what had been posted here.

I am not saying he is worthless all I am saying is you can't take what he says at face value. As far as May changing his mind on Ford I am sure he eventually did once the tide had changed. I have no doubt that May will do whatever it takes to save himself. Never have I ever sailed under a false flag with any of my employees. It sometimes made them unhappy, but I was always honest regarding where they stood, and they knew it. As far as a good employee suddenly going south, I would have been remiss not to try to figure out what was going on in his/her life to cause this sudden change and see what help I could provide. I actually feel a bit bad for Ford because I am sure he feels a bit betrayed by May. By the way I never said anything about Schertz character either way.
