From today's NCAA decision:

"In the 1940s, Hugh McElhenny, a halfback at the University of Washington, 'became known as the first college player ‘ever to take a cut in salary to play pro football.’ Zimbalist 22–23. He reportedly said: ‘[A] wealthy guy puts big bucks under my pillow every time I score a touchdown. Hell, I can’t afford to graduate.’" Id., at 211, n. 17.

9-0 decision holding that the NCAA restrictions on education-related payments to student athletes are illegal, with a concurring opinion by Justice Kavanaugh saying the rest is also likely illegal.

This decision will make the need for a federal NIL law clear, and possibly lead to more thorough action by Congress regulating college sports and generally precluding ordinary antitrust analysis.

Ohio Statr is leaning heavily on the NIL angle with head coach Ryan Day making that presentation:

AJ's DSA TV spots look like Meet the Press in comparison. Our market share is safe, I think.

Coruser in Shot Put.

Now this article seems more balanced than Adam Gorney's interview. I still think we are 50/50 with ND.

As many of you probably know, Oregon freshman, Micah Williams finished 5th in the finals of the 100m with a school record time of 9.91!!! Ironically the old school record of 9.93 was set by Cravon Gillespie who finished 6th in the same heat. It is very possible that both Cravon and Micah sprinted their way into the US Olympic 4x100 team. The relay team always has 6 people, two of which are in the “pool”. If the relay team should medal, any members of the pool that contribute during a preliminary round will also medal. Stay tuned !

Michal is refreshingly humble.

Rates CFB QBs in four groups. Tyler Shough remains in the "unanswered questions" category BTW.

Somehow this visit slipped through the DSA cracks…

To all the dad-joke telling, barbecue grilling, plaid shorts wearing, daughter and son embarrassing old codgers in our DSA family, we salute you.

Top Oregon LB target Cyrus Moss just checked in at Notre Dame. Hot, humid and rainy there in South Bend for his visit. 😰

Cook the highest rated Oregonian of all time...too bad he wont finish in state...or maybe he will.

We may again realize that it is easier to derive truth from error than from confusion.

After all, the man is only 5-10.

Briefly considered by Oregon before they hired Willie Taggart in 2016, the Minnesota coach has a new book out, appropriately titled "Row Your Boat."

Beware coaches who rely too heavily on slogans and motivational tricks. Still, Fleck coached the Gophers to an 11-2 record in 2019, a win over Penn State and #10 final ranking. They slumped to 3-4 in 2020.

Not sure what he has this season, but it's of some interest to Duck fans: they host Ohio State on Thursday night to open the season, national TV on Fox.

Maybe Fleck can whip his team into another motivational frenzy and soften the Buckeyes up, perhaps reveal a couple of softer spots.

From the Sporting News. List includes UCLA's Dorian Thompson-Robinson at 25, ASU's Jayden Daniels at 14, Kedon Slovis of USC at 6.

CJ Stroud of tOSU, Alabama's Bryce Young and Clemson's Daniel Uiagalelei place high despite limited experience.

No sign of Anthony Brown, Ty Thompson or Jay Butterfield, as expected. Maybe by the end of the year.

In an effort to get everyone acclimated to a 12-team playoff and how it would work, I propose we try to form a playoff committee and seed the 12-best desserts.

Here's how I would rank them. Please submit yours and we'll determine the final 12.

1. Marionberry pie
2. Warm chocolate brownie with a scoop of Tillamook vanilla ice cream
3. Strawberry shortcake, fresh whipped cream, homemade biscuit
4. Watermelon, served cold, with seeds
5. Peach cobbler
6. 4 squares of dark chocolate with a glass of red wine
7. 3 chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven with a glass of cold milk
8. Chocolate mint Yasso bars
9. Skip dessert--nothing enters this temple except protein shakes, brown rice, sweet potatoes, chicken breast or albacore tuna
10. Chocolate pudding
11. Raspberry sorbet
12. Lemon meringue pie

Others receiving votes: Greek yogurt with frozen mixed berries, vanilla pudding, chocolate cake

Relegated to the FCS: Oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, butterscotch pudding, tiramasu, baklava

Hall of Fame inductee: my mother's lemon chiffon cheesecake (recipe upon request)

Playoff format: 1-4 get first round byes. 5-8 host a first-round playoff game in their home kitchen

Kelly inherited a mess, but he's had three losing seasons in three years.
