No Vegan on today’s buffet. It’s all meat.
- Revel in the depth of Georgia’s defensive line.
- If you had Dominick Blaylock in the pool as Georgia’s leading receiver going into October, give yourself a pat on the back.
- Reason #864992 why the NCAA is screwed up.
- Greed is good, baby. For schools, anyway.
- “Can you get here by Saturday?”
- Matt Hinton makes what should be a reasonably obvious point in any Fromm-Fields comparison: “Maybe that says more about their respective offenses and the roles they’re asked to play within them than it does about their actual abilities.”
- Lots of questions about Title IX and changes to amateurism. Here’s a piece in response to that.
Get The Picture 
For both men and women sports, ending the monopoly of the NCAA over labor, will help both to make money through sports that they won’t have the opporunity to make later. I would imagine that is especially true for the women. Hard to see how paying athletes would be a negative for women’s sports or title ix.

If the schools were to partner up with their athletes on ways to monetize their NIL, then I would think they would be able to meet the Title IX requirements by ensuring that male and female athletes get the same percentage of the profits from those deals. If the men get more sponsorships (or youtube subscribers or whatever), then they get more money, but percentage-wise it would still be equal.

Third party payments aren’t subject to Title IX requirements.

Would they still be exempt if those payments passed through the school in some way?

No idea. I suspect the issue might be if the school were nothing but a passive holder, or an active co-receiver of such funds. But the legislation out there doesn’t appear to be headed that way.

The “eat what you kill” payment model is the least pollyanna option. When you sign your LOI, you and the university grant an image and likeness license to one-another for the duration of your scholarship.

Regardless of where we are today, or where we may be in a year, there was NEVER a day when he was enrolled at Georgia that Justin Fields was a better quarterback than Jake Fromm.

Sudge named names like Beal and Tindall on the LB depth chart without bringing up Ojulari, Walker, or Grant. Do we have another Conor Riley on our hands?
