They can leave the conference, but the income from their TV rights (even if in another conference) would revert to the the ACC. So Clemson could join the SEC, get their 100 million a year... and it would go to the ACC to be distributed to ACC members. That's what is going on right now with OU...

How did yesterday change any of that? ISU was never getting in the SEC or Big 10, and we've known for years that those two conferences were going to get the lion's share of the cash.

Again, the ACC has a grant of rights until 2036! That's still 15 years away basically! I mean I'll never say anything is impossible but that will be incredibly tough to overcome.

To be honest it's not a meltdown. It's kind of funny from our perspective because for once we're not the punching bag. If we're being honest here, the PAC is in real trouble. The PAC 12 already made less than the Big 12 from their contracts and now they lost their two biggest draws. The Big 10...

Yes, the 76ers said it was one of the reasons they signed him, they could be lying though.

Niang has turned himself into a very good defender.

Again, I was at ISU when Joe Heskett and Cael were wrestling and the program was very solid under Douglas and getting top 3 finishes, and you could walk up and get tickets anytime. As for my kid, he was 9, just turned 10. He's small and has limitless energy and honestly would be a great...

I'm not belittling it, I'm stating facts. I was at ISU when Cael was actually wrestling, I worked for the student TV station and covered some of the meets. It wasn't a big deal then and it is a much smaller deal now. I went to the CSU Bakersfield meet this year, somebody gave me center mat...

I mean nothing against ISU wrestling, but it's not in a big 4 or anything at ISU. My middle kid started wrestling this year so we went to a few meets and if I'm being honest it's just not a big event at ISU. That might change in the future and it might have been different in the past but as it...

USC is probably the most NIL crazy school out there right now so I'm not sure the PAC 12 commissioner has a whole lot of say here.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but when Aimaq announced his list including TT and Arkansas, that should have told them all they needed to know.

ISU has 541 student athletes. 10k per kid on top of the scholarship is basically about 5.5 million a year. If they had to, they could have figured it out and gave up some projects and stuff like that. Let's be honest - Iowa is going to double their TV revenue. That's probably another 30-40...

Looking back on it now, when those Northwestern football players were trying to unionize we laughed it off or poo poo'd it. Things would be SO MUCH better with players having a union at this point. Scholarships are great, but in an era of billion dollar TV deals for conferences, and 10 million...

Big time boosters. Supposedly they spent 2.5 million on this basketball recruiting class, obviously I can't verify that. But when your family is worth 238 billion 2.5 million is nothing.

Which is why Arkansas is going to be a contender for the forseeable future now unless the rules change.

Let's be honest with ourselves. You know exactly what it is.

Honestly I have no idea. But you don't announce a transfer, and immediately have UK, Arkansas, and TT on your list without looking for a payday of some kind. For the record I have no problem with players doing it either.

ISU was unable to match the NIL offers that he's getting from other places. That's it and that's all.

I mean this in all seriousness - Iowa will be putting together a big package for Aimaq if they end up landing him. You were going against TT, Arkansas, etc., and those schools don't play when it comes to NIL.

Honestly I think it doesn't stay as crazy as it is right now. The #'s getting thrown around right now are absolutely crazy. It's a new thing now and people are throwing serious cash at it but I don't think it's sustainable. But yes, ISU needs to get organized and get in the game. I don't blame...
