Big, if true.

Damn, I would love that.

Today, in doing it for the kids

This seems fine.

"One conference source anticipated that USC and UCLA student-athletes will travel 159 percent more air miles and 44 percent more bus miles in the Big Ten, adding that even if sports are able to charter, travel times will at least double"https://t.co/KllrLyDSbF

But… all that money!

Wingin’ it

Today’s NIL story is a hoot(ers).

Restaurant chain Hooters announced on Monday that it has signed 51 college football offensive linemen to name, image and likeness deals from teams across the country.

The chain said it wanted to sign offensive line groups, rather than individual athletes, and is now working with players from Auburn, LSU, Oklahoma, Miami, Georgia Tech, Missouri, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Florida Atlantic and USF.

…”It is an honor to have Hooters promote the big guys up front and advocate for the work, dedication and spirit of offensive linemen throughout college football,” Quick said in a statement. “Like an offensive line, Hooters is all about comradery and having a good time, and I think I speak for all linemen by saying we are extremely excited to partner with a restaurant we already love and throw down some wings.”

The Georgia Tech promotion writes itself, doesn’t it?
