There’s literally not one industry that has been better off by PE entering . ESPN is gross

It's even crazier that ESPN is bringing this up now when you think of what private equity money has done to sports illustrated in the past week.

They completely stripped it for parts, got rid of almost the entire staff and now with the shell of itself.

Also pretty rich that ESPN is running that as they are the main cause of why the thought of PE being introduced into the sport is even out there or being considered

Did FSU kind of get that ball rolling with the talks about Saudi money?

 

[N41D]

Disney, Fox and CBS caused this.

There’s no two ways around it.

**** ‘em all.

 

[JustBlaze.]

Sensational.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Did FSU kind of get that ball rolling with the talks about Saudi money?

Yeah, because of the differences between ESPN/ACC deal (+ GOR) vs the ESPN/SEC & Fox/B10 deals

homies kid is Ashton? Nice. Good kid. He made the right choice to leave Bosco. Go ball out at Loyola.

 

[justincredible7]

Was Jimbo helping Dan Campbell coach tonight?

 

[witnesskb24]

I wonder how many (if any) Michigan players leave. Right now if they were to transfer they can’t enroll in classes wherever they go which means they’d miss spring ball and could transfer right after

 

[swendro]

Nobody is more committed to not doing anything than Warde Manuel.

Yep we both served in the Navy. His dad is about to retire.

That's not a rule that's ever really enforced. These kids aren't normal students.

A bunch of schools are steadfast on their belief that paying for HS kids is the wrong approach and the NCAA/govt will eventually do something and the schools who have been breaking the rule will end up in a worse position. It's not just Michigan. USC, Bama, until recently Ohio State... All of them have been pressuring the ncaa to make a decision one way or the other.
