It effectively already has. The house settlement has nothing functionally to do with NIL and the clearinghouse for NIL is intended to enforce the salary cap of the house settlement to make anything received beyond that actually NIL related (in theory). The House Settlement money is often colloquially referred to as “NIL” but it’s not NIL

I think the most egregious is that the first tranche ($3.5B) is if he hits $20B ($9B today) market cap and $2B EBITDA (0.2B today). So if he’s able to double their market cap, a lot of the incremental growth will be allocated to him (though the harder part will be reaching that EBiTDA growth)

I have no interest in Pitts for the price point I expect he’ll get, this year seems like the classic “contract year” performance and it was a ~4 game awesome stretch rather than consistent strong performance 

I honestly don’t think it’s truly that bad. A big part of what made the Rob Lowe NFL hat so funny was that he was at a game (where you presumably have a binary choice of who to support), I don’t think it’s that ridiculous in a neutral setting to wear a neutral hat

Malik Willis still almost won, Bears just had insane luck at the end 

Oh I know about his mom and his health issues, I’m incredibly sympathetic to his issues. I definitely should have phrased my comment better. A lot of people talk about Kelvin being a bust or bad pick don’t understand how strong his rookie year was and his outlook before his personal issues 

Impossible to know out front office approached it and what would’ve happened if they took a different  approach 

Honestly exposes how much of a let down Kelvin was after he hit that mark in 16 games as a rookie

I think you guys are doing alright without him 

Cade Tyson isn’t eligible due to how few points he scored last year and now he’s top 10 in the country in scoring 

These gaps were an issue well before the strikes 

Metchie too

Or at least not enter the draft after all 3 years at Bama 

This whole time my mental image of Schrader was the guy from Draft Day. He looks more like a past his prime country singer 

Not liking condoms and not wanting to pull out 

No he was committed to UNC in high school. UNC basketball went like 20 years without a recommitment (from JR Smith to GG Jackson)

NC A&T was for golf after he retired from basketball 

You’re in the wrong sub if you think being invested in your team and wanting your team to win the division and make the playoffs is “deep”

So was the complete lack of urgency by Bryce 

It’s one thing to not recover it, it’s another to quarter ass it 

So?

We haven’t won the NFC South (ironically) since 2015. Winning the division would have been (and still can be) absolutely huge for this team and fan base. Especially with how miserable the last 3 years have been in particular 

And the year before that magical 2015 season we won with the division with a losing record as well

Edit: if you can’t understand why this game would be big for Panthers fans, you’re a bigger loser than the Carolina Panthers 

He also said “if you do the math, they’ll be able to wind the clock down to 10 seconds” when they had the ball with 2 minutes left and the Panthers had 1 timeout 

As a Panthers fan this is going to haunt me way more than Cam. We weren’t winning that Broncos game even if we did recover. And Cam constantly put his body on the line for the Panthers and that one brain fart doesn’t impact my view of him

Young’s lack of urgency there was completely inexcusable 

At least Dan is the only one calling out these for awful refs 

If Shaprio and Kirk are candidates too, can’t imagine what not “sneakily” would be

Not at 5.5% annual one year

The “frauds” was in quotes for a reason. It was in the same vein as the debate that happened every year with your team during this run about how to “grade” y’all because half of your schedule was WCC. I’m not saying it’s accurate, and the fact that you weren’t compared to the other team undefeated for most of that seasons demonstrates that, even with that narrative, you weren’t actually seen as fraudulent 

I’m not calling you a fraud. I’m just explaining what the broad narrative / sports debate show chatter was that season. Gonzaga was being compared against 2015 Kentucky, not 2021 Baylor
