It is a terrible deal for the non-P4 conferences. They get hit with 60% of the damages even though realistically the vast majority of the damages are owed to players for the P4 conferences I am less than informed on how TV money gets currently split but I assume the vast majority of the TV/media rev...

Not to mention being able to sue other teams for interference with contract

Looks like he had some good options. I wonder what his NIL deal offers were?

Interesting article. Player is suing coach for failed NIL promises. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/former-florida-signee-jaden-rashada-sues-coach-billy-napier-and-others-over-failed-14m-nil-deal/ar-BB1mMXh6 Brilliant legal strategy. It will probably settle before discovery because the coach...

I wonder if anyone will do a public records request for the contract details.

Just read an article about Rasada the QB who is suing Florida for more than $13.8 Million because they reneged on his NIL deal. According to the story Florida got him to decommit from Miami who had promised a $9 + Million deal. He is now at Georgia following a season at ASU. No doubt there were NIL ...

I guess Wicks needs to field a team which at least looks competitive, but this was not a good signing

That and I’m also wondering if Linder didn’t line something up at Texas Tech for DeWeese. Linder’s timing can’t be overstated. He f***ed us so hard for next year. Retaining DeWeese probably would have allowed us to field a team next year but I don’t know how we get there now. I suspect we sign a co...

They are no longer student athletes. They are minor league professionals who just happen to be sponsored by a college. I wonder how long it will be before there are some schools specifically designated as farm clubs for a professional team. Heck it seems like half of the NFL Eagles defense is from ...

Something that might be getting overlooked is how Svboda was recruited. He was like 3rd string on a JUCO team. If he hits, that's some seriously good scouting or just damn lucky. Svoboda was set to attend UW as a preferred walk on out of high school. Then the pandemic hit and he decided to go to Sn...

What? Without bringing Noah back? Say it isn't so!!

Too late to transfer ? Or maybe his NIL deal would have to be repaid if he came to Wyoming?

This is stupid. At what point is "college" basketball going to directly compete with the NBA? It's just another professional league. Everything unique and beautiful about college athletics is being ruined. Osobor is currently making more than any 2nd round pick in the NBA draft this year ...

IDK, I appreciate the reconciliation that happened with the Black 14 and UW, and I think it's bad what happened to them and the story has sort of a happy ending, but I do get tired of hearing how racist I am all the time just for being a white male that resides in Wyoming. It's been beaten to death...

Burmans continued time as AD will depend entirely on how Sawvel and who he hires to replace Linder work out. Womens sports coaches have all seemed to be pretty solid hires but the real money is in FB and Men's BB.

This is bad. Linder was touted as some sort of coaching savant when hired and granted an extension. His leaving and taking a step down leads me to believe he saw the writing on the wall and wanted out. Burman knows that his own job would be in doubt if there was another poor season. With new coache...

I hate to see UW's reputation take another hit like this.

Peasley is smart, gutsy and tough but is unlikely to be more than a training camp arm at the next level. I do think he would make a great coach and hope that he catches on in some capacity if he intends to make a career in football. I just do not see him as having the playing talent needed.

My wife and enjoyed going to Arizona for last year for the game. Saw some longtime Cowboy fans who I generally do not see at the games in Laramie ( I suspect because they sit on the west side of the War) and the final score turned out right so it was really fun. Still I hope that if Wyoming gets a ...
