No no. To save money, they will eventually package a bunch of them, like 80 of them, into what's called a "bundle". And then your ISP will sell that bundle to you directly. They could call it "cable" or something.

BREAKING: Tennessee and Virginia's request for a TRO against the NCAA has been denied.

The TRO would have lifted the NCAA's ban on athletes talking to collectives about NIL during their recruitment.

There is no principled difference between paying NIL to an incoming freshman and what Kirby just did in paying his QB more than a million a year to play for UGA. (Bama and) Georgia's NIL pay-for-retention is exactly pay for play. The players are retained to play. (And for the record, $10 million is "more than a million." That way of reporting the news is unreliable.)


The "distinction" is just something Saban and Kirby made up to attack Nico.

What it really means is that Bama and UGA are still throwing bags with impunity: that's their high-school NIL. And why not they have a carte blanche to break any rule or cap? And then (according to the stupid story) they arrange NIL pay-fo- play once the players sign. But nobody in their right mind believes they don't discuss NIL opportunities before signing day. And if it weren't a lie, it would make no difference because it is still pay for play.

I swear I fear people can be talked into almost anything by media repetition and excited tones.

So was Kirby "caught out"? Oh, hell no! Just like Saban did, he advertises to the recruiting pool and his own fans what kind of huge NIL he is dropping. Meanwhile all the handringing is aimed at gullible fans of other teams. Trying to deceive those fans of other teams into moralizing and handwrining against their own interest.

So, does this TRO being denied mean we are about to get absolutely boned by the NCAA and we might as well start looking for a new hobby? What does this mean?
