The NIL gravy train has not worked out too well for Jimbo Fisher and the gang over at Texas A&M.

Other than about a dozen or so schools, I’m not sure why they have football programs anymore.

In other news, Lionel Messi has turned down a billion dollar deal from the Saudi Arabian football team to play for the Miami team.

Why do I think the New York Yankees team trainer was recruited directly from the janitorial staff?

Don’t worry folks, good ol’ Charlie Baker will solve all those problems, just like he did as governor of Massachusetts and cleaned up the issues at the MBTA, the state police, the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and the incompetent leaders he appointed at the soldiers’ home which led to a large number of unnecessary COVID deaths. And if you believe that, then you must think the Red Sox will win the Series this year.

I’m a ’60’s kid. My college dropped its football program when I was a senior and has never brought it back. It was a tiny, lib-arts place then and now is a giant, world-class research school. I’m proud of them.

Wottsa big deal? There will soon be fewer than twice as many teams as the NFL.

After all, the ONLY thing that matters is The Playoffs. Just like the NFL.

And the gambling.

.

Education? Student body? Color an pageantry?

Sure. Just like the NFL.

a few actual rules and it all works fine.

1 – coaches moving teams cannot poach players via transfer portal from their prior team without the minimum 1-year wait (no exceptions).

2 – all NIL contracts must be filed with the NCAA (or another board), reviewed for conflict of interest (school bribery) and published.
