I still remember exactly where I was, in the living room, thinking the game was over, ironing a shirt before a date, then I was jumping up & down and almost burned my shirt. I can't believe it's been 30 years ...or that I dated that butterface.

If judges are now allowing both Sorsby & Chambliss to play, despite clear cut NCAA rules saying they can't, RJ Luis should get to play, too. LSU just needs to find a La. judge to give an injunction.

Highest Bidder Board makes a better alliteration.

2 for 2

Sorsby & Coleman

A DL that's 247's #1 player in the country & a TTU commit, now I'm wondering if CEO was brought on specifically as an all-hands-on-deck move to assist with this flip.

Now let's bring back 24 hour Walmarts.

It was probably a coincidence, but all but one Walmart stopped 24 hour shopping in Greater New Orleans when Katrina hit in 2005. (The Kenner location stayed open 24 hours until around 2010.)

I get why the stores affected by the storm would only reopen with limited hours, as workers weren't back, but the unaffected neighboring cities had a massive influx of residents/potential employees and the stores still cut down store hours.(???) Walmart as a company must've been looking at cutting hours and jumped on the opportunity.

Then it took another disaster (COVID) to make it a permanent nation-wide.

In 1984, Hokie as a Saint led the NFL in rushing average with 6.0 per carry. This was in the era when defenses were built to stop the run.

That year had some all-time greats, too. Eric Dickerson (a record 2100+ yards), Walter Payton, John Riggins, Marcus Allen, Tony Dorsett, etc. and ratio-wise, Hokie was outpacing them all. Beast!

Apparently, LSU has access to their own rev-share (revenue from tv contracts,etc shared amongst all SEC teams). The amount available for football is $20.5M annually in June. (IIRC, the number for basketball is $10M or $15M.) I wanna say that rev share has to be spent before being allowed to use NIL.

For supplemental NIL, LSU uses a sports agency that has aggregated a gazillion companies that are willing to pay for an athlete's endorsement. The packages can be diversified. For example, if LSU wants to offer a prospect $1M NIL package, he might get the bulk of it from say, Raising Cane's and some car dealership, but the rest might be comprised of 10 smaller businesses that the athlete also has an minor obligation to represent in some way. All NIL deals have to be approved by some regulatory clearing house

If I'm not mistaken, the new rev share rules effectively outlawed the use of collectives (where fan or alumni or or business donations could be be put in a money pool to pay out to prospects they want.) I believe colletives & TAF funds now have to be used on ancillary projects, like say, stadium upgrades, arena renovations, etc.

LSU can use up all of their annual $20.5M rev share in one class, and if they want more prospects the same year, they can basically give an I.O.U. to a signee willing to wait a few months until June when LSU gets access to another $20.5M. I think LSU dipped into this upcoming rev share funds to sign a lot of their $40M+ portal class.

That's my understanding. ButI could be wrong in parts.
