Solid zip representation around the arena tonight

Let's get our guy to Los Angeles for All-Star weekend - vote for Enrique for the NBA G League Next Up game! NBAGLeague.com/Vote

We should get full coverage, already under 6 minutes.

The Sweaters are kicking the crap out of Turdledo. I think I just saw someone in the stands wearing an Akron hat with the current logo. Is Bud funding a secret Harbaugh-Stallions scouting budget or does he just use interns?

Yeah, I hate when they put games only two hours apart but it was a quick first half and Miami is up 20 so there likely won't be any fouling at the end. Should be over by 8, hopefully.

Be ready for the likely runover of the Miami-Toledo game into the start of the Zips game. Maybe the alternate feed in the CBS Sports app will even be the Zips game. 🤔

Likely-- we got him over WKU and UAB.

They effectively had NIL even before NIL. A local sugar daddy endowed their basketball program for big bucks.

It appears he started 7 games at Center this season. Not sure if he missed the others with injury or lost his spot. I would think he lost his spot and that's why he's transferring.

Good to see these guys still living their dream. I wasn't aware that either was playing professionally, so thanks for the news @Zip_ME87!

Both Big 12

All true, but it's better than nothing and what would happen if the Federal government legislates it.

When pay to play was being bandied about years ago one of the things schools and the NCAA were wary of was unionization of the athletes....ALL athletes. I am ALL in favor of unions! But think about all of the issues that come with collective bargaining and unionization. If any of you were/are in a union you realize there are issues above and beyond pay. We will see.

They are one of the few MAC teams that I haven't seen play this year either. I'm not saying they aren't good players. Just that I don't think BG had to outbid other P5 or even high majors for them. They probably had some offers from mid-majors, but BG was likely the best they received. A lot of players in the portal either get overvalued or undervalued.

I would have thought it would be the other way around.

Bruno to UCF, Delvin Morris to Kansas State

They weren't lighting it up but they were contributing. When I think of BG getting a P5 player, I generally assume they're getting someone who was getting very few (if any) minutes. I haven't seen BG play yet this year other than a few minutes against Miami so I guess I'll see tonight what kind of players they are.

The problem with non-competes is each school would have their own. A collective bargaining agreement would make everything universal. I think at this point the universities would welcome a collective bargaining agreement because it will allow them to focus on other things.

All the MAC schools I believe opted into revenue sharing so they all have some amount of NIL. Some, like Akron and UMass, alot more than others. Neither of those players were exactly lighting it up at their P5 schools so it's not like they would have needed 100s of thousands of dollars to sign them.

Time will certainly tell as I'm sure in the coming years the case will make it to court. I will say that many employer contracts for R&D or sales positions includes non-compete clauses and those have held up in court over time. I do think it's possible the same could hold up with college athletics, but I am no lawyer or a legal expert. I'll leave that to the legal experts.
