Man it sure sounds sleazy. College sports keeps going further and further down the drain.

Wonder what that is all about.

Just heard that SMU (in the AAC) is giving every football player and every basketball player $36,000 base salary from booster's NIL pool. I just don't see how the FAUs, UNCCs, and UTSAs are going to keep up with that. I really hope we don't get into that kind of arms race in the Belt. Though I did already see the CCU quarterback signed a big deal for an undisclosed amount of money.

Oh man. Get the popcorn ready for when we start hearing the reaction from the female athletes at SMU.

Its for the football and basketball squads, not segmented on male vs. female.

This was the article I hit when following up on his post. It just said "mens" basketball. Maybe it's poorly written and omitted the womens basketball team?

Last night Malcolm Britt announced an NIL deal with Crocs.

ODU student athletes can now use ODU trademarks and logos in their NIL deals with this new deal with Brandr.
