Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

The "millions in NIL deals promised to athletes go unapproved" - Are these NIL deals being rejected or just pending at this point?

Also, the tweet hints that even if athletes are made employees, over-the-top NIL deals will cont
inue. If that is the case, they might as well stick with the currents setup because not much will change.

well that's just plain false, at least in terms of how they're being done now. Yes, if Nike wants to sign one of these guys to an endorsement deal, that would still be available. The entire point of making them employees is it allows you to collectively bargain with them. Currently, the NCAA can't actually enforce any of these rules because you can't just collude to dictate how much someone can make without their input. Once the players are brought to the bargaining table and an agreement is made, these rules can be enforced.

Polling people who go to such a film and getting a high positive score is no indication that it's a without question a good film. The results show just that people who go to horror movies liked it.

What about that is so hard to understand?
Asking if someone is being purposefully obtuse is not name calling. It is asking if you are intentionally not getting it because you enjoy the argument.

As for Miley I do have to admit that she has a very soulful voice.

He’s one of the most streamed artists worldwide is all you need to know why he was chosen.

Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

What's crazy about even $6-7 million NIL being reported, the 120% scale for rookie first year contracts at pick #7 is $6,889,200, so basically, the NIL game is going to blow up the NBA salary scales at this rate.
I'm wondering if the NBA's influence at some point is was finally creates an actual salary cap for the college game?
