Bloomingdale for me. The antenna we had was gigantic. Probably 10 feet long and 5 feet wide. Had 2 dozen elements. It was rated for 250 miles. Thank goodness for Radio Shack.

I wrecked it one year pretending I was a UT punter (Neil Clabo) and launched a football through the middle of it. Let's just say the Emperor was not too pleased with his apprentice. Lol.

It’s your land, in TN we don’t even require licenses to hunt our own property.

Grandparents always kept a fighting rooster & dogs to deter foxes though, but same philosophy existed if seen during the day near the coops they were dropped on sight.

NIL by its actual definition isn’t the issue. True NIL is (hypothetically) Jermod McCoy getting a commercial for a local car dealership. It’s the fact that what we got isn’t NIL: we got an unregulated pay for play system with no guard rails whatsoever.

We have NIL, and no one has the right to limit an athlete's ability to profit from their NIL. "True" NIL is an athlete getting a commercial, yes. It will also look like a lot of other things. You or I have no more right to limit what that looks like than the NCAA.

The problem is not NIL. The problem is that the NCAA's greed and inability to think outside of the previous century have put it in an untenable legal position, so they have largely washed their hands of managing the situation. The NCAA tried to take control of the student athletes' NIL, and were crucified in court so many times that it's now become an existential threat for them. So, they seem to have erred on the side of covering their eyes, ears and mouths as opposed to working out a feasible system.

If NCAA sports is to survive at all, it will have to figure out how to do so within the NIL era, and within antitrust laws. Simply bemoaning the athlete's right to profit from NIL will not cut it. (Hint: I can imagine only two solutions: The fedz give them a legislative exemption from antitrust laws, thus infringing the athletes' human rights, or the NCAA implements collective bargaining, which would include rules to stop these wild-west free agency issues, etc...)
