His highlight film is deceiving. It starts with seemingly every dunk he's ever had (and most look like the same two-handed jam). However, then it shifts over to seemingly every block he's ever had. Keep watching. By the end, you will see really great footwork, dexterity, and a nice touch on...
"Pittman also reports scholarship offers from Boston College, Iowa State, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Northwestern, Syracuse, Texas Tech, Wisconsin and others."
Pulled this one from some serious Big 10 and Big 12 competition.
It isn't "rabid fans" v. the NCAA. It is university presidents, conferences, TV, and streaming services v. the NCAA. Rabid fans may not overpower the NCAA, but others might. We will see.
I think we are going to find out just how much authority the NCAA really has. Lots of stakeholders are posturing. College presidents (e.g. West Virginia), governors, conference commissioners. Ultimately, it may be the negotiations with TV and new streaming services that makes the difference...
He's certainly getting attention. It seems that Iowa State is featured in USA Today articles nearly every day (sometimes more than once per day). And in the real USA Today, not just in the Des Moines Register sports section that borrows heavily from it.
Minor point. Cal, USC, and UCLA are not part of the California State University system. Cal and UCLA are part of the University of California system and USC is private.

Regardless, it...
Compare the presentations of Barta/Ferentz to those of Pollard/Campbell and Harris/Farley with regard to plans for playing football in the Fall. None of them seem to be relying on talking points from the regents, except to say that none of us really know for sure what is going to happen.
I would love to know about the positioning that is taking place behind the scenes about who will be making the decisions, who will be taking the credit, and who will take the blame.

How do you think this will be decided?
University by university? Each school decides whether it will play and under what conditions, both home and away. This would seem to create some terrible unevenness in the schedules.
Conference by conference? Each conference decide what it...
Hard to imagine a scenario in which games are played with restrictions of fan attendance because of the culture surrounding games. It is one thing to not allow fans into the stadium, but quite another to prevent tailgating. Perhaps they could restrict it on university property, but it would be...
This was the first time I've heard any official of any university speak that specifically about the order in which they would consider welcoming fans back. Very interesting to think in terms of the economic impact of letting in only high end donors. How much would it be if only suites were...
