Essentially a breakaway from Division I/FBS - let’s call it Division I-Pay.
The schools would be required to pay into a trust fund for each player, to disburse those funds after graduation. The schools would also be able to cut out the middleman by paying NIL directly instead of depending on boosters/collectives for it.

Thanks for the insight, as I wasn’t aware of that. I thought the only stumbling block was A&M’s unwillingness to go along and instead join the SEC.

That was a distant third. First, as Jim said, was all the coaches rejecting it; second was the impasse over Longhorn Network.

Dillon Gabriel transferring to Oregon
The Army / Navy game had a really terrific finish. Navy on fourth and goal, needing 8 to tie, with time running out, attempts a last ditch rush from the one and a half or so. Enormous scrumpile of Army / Navy dudes. No dice, Midshipmen.

Not shocking, but it pretty much confirms the rumors that Ewers will return.

Yup and yup.
Nothing but the best for Maliik. I hope he lights it up where ever he goes unless it’s USC, A&M, or OU.

Absolutely. We don’t go 12-1 without him.

He made a few Freshman mistakes (which they all do), but it would’ve been much tougher sledding without him at QB2.

Is Ewers automatically the number one next year if, say, Arch has a better spring?

Unless Arch comes in looking like NFL Peyton, it’s Ewers.

No way Manning beats out Ewers. No way.

Yeah, zero chance Arch outplays Ewers for the job heading into 2024.

Manning is still a HS kid playing in college and learning. His family also is ok with that.
