Kids are watching some claymation Santa movie now on AMC.
But will it be more difficult to be successful?
NIL along with the transfer rules are existential threats to Iowa St athletics
Yes, true. Change is inevitable. Maybe it will straigthen itself out with time.
Every generation has the vile elite who take advantage of others for their own gain. How to correct this is the issue.
We've all said it lately, 'killing the golden goose'. That makes good sense.
From a football skills perspective I like Freyler on an open field tackle.
I'm gonna watch YellowJackets and ponder how the entire fabric of college athletics is being slowly ripped away.
'Happiest Season' is a good one, a little under the radar.
I wonder how well they'd do if they were playing for WNBA triple G league out of high school instead of riding on the coattails of established brands propped up by alumni and often tax payers. They might be successful at monetizing their social media accounts but it'd have nothing to do with sports, they'd be instagram "models" or "influencers" and succeed at that or fail at it independent of sports.
It's all a house of cards.
There's no inherent marketing value for hundreds or thousands of women athletes (and almost to the same extent college sports male athletes). There's Olympic champions after the Olympics, a few established pro sports at a level where college athletes will never reach and that's about it.
The athletes have value because of the school and the school gets marketing because of the athletes, it's a cycle. The athletes on their own are minor league baseball players in Fargo ND or Sioux City IA with about a 1 in 1000 exception. They can live their dream, but they aren't marketable on their own without university branding.
The first step will be that D1 college sports as a heavily attended spectator event in most regions, then it will go away entirely when what is left is a regional minor league. I can see basketball hanging on, but college football has likely peaked in total national interest with this.
Might be a Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas kind of night.
Freyler made lots of amazing ankle-tackles, comes flying in and somehow hangs on to an ankle. Must be super strong.
Have you been to southern California? There might be a few girls in Big 12 sports as cute as the checkout girls at the the grocery store.
Almost none of these female athletes would be marketable because of their play without the tax payer and alumni supported brand on their jersey. Same is true of nearly every male athlete with the exception of a few dozen football and basketball players, maybe a handful of college athletes who got olympic exposure.
I'm not crushing dreams to compete, but top level elite-in-the-world womens pro sports struggle to survive. How on earth would 4th or 5th tier female athletes be scoring endorsement deals without the brand of a university?
It's a symbiotic thing. It's going to change and/or go away.
To me he uses better technique.
Young can close and hit hard but wrapping up has not been a strength and never seemed to get corrected.
I think they have an amazing case if wrestlers, male runners, male swimmers, etc... get more than they do at the same schools.
Not JorBo's car wash and fireworks stands deals directed to an individual endorsement, but the Texas "we give every lineman 100k/year" would be crazy illegal if male athletes nobody heard of are getting more than female athletes.
If a school has a general NIL fund for athletes outside of football and basketball and it's not equitable for men and women it's obviously not rational and fair.
