A deep dive with @MattNorlander into how much each high-major basketball roster costs. It ranges from $5 million to over $25 million. The top dawgs: Duke, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, Louisville, Michigan, UNC, St. John's, Tennessee, Texas and Texas Tech cbssports.com/college-basket…

Plenty of people have expressed their opinions on this, but what do actual college decision-makers think? Here are 3 quotes from current general managers in college football.  P4 GM: "Exposure has never been easier.  College summer camps, summer combines/camps, increased unofficial visits, larger game day visits, easy access to putting your film online (HUDL).  Most kids that aren’t being recruited by the schools they want to be isn’t a visibility issue; it’s a talent issue.  High School families don’t need to be paying to get evaluated.  They should start with their HS coaches and find out how to become a better football player."  P4 GM: "They’re just trying to make money on the dreams of the players who wouldn’t get recruited anyway. Are there now more spots for FBS teams to take players? No. They’ll just rank more players who paid for it, but the opportunities don’t expand. The number of scholarships given out by programs remains the same. Excited for the meltdown because On3 is a market driver for NIL and this opens the door for families to pay them to rank them higher for more NIL."  G5 GM: "To me, it's all stupid. Anybody who's paying for these rankings or evaluations is already in the wrong. The priority should just be to be a really good high school football player, and you're going to be recruited, and you're going to get ranked.
 "Are these parents even going to listen when they get a rating back that says they're an FCS-level player? Probably not. They'll probably just spend more money trying to change what they are. They'll keep spending money on things until they get the answer they want to hear, but the film isn't going to change from Friday nights."
Rivals is charging high school athletes and parents $499 for an 'evaluation' by a Rivals scout. The fee includes a scouting report, grade, film evaluation, coach interview, and consideration to be ranked on their site.

"I am adamantly opposed." "This doesn't move the needle at all." "It should be a privilege to play in the tournament, not a right." As we wait for official word, some of CBB's biggest coaches share their gripes with March Madness expansion to @CBSSports.cbssports.com/college-basket…

The Dan McQuade news is incredibly sad. defector.com/dan-mcquade-198… Incredibly creative and funny writer, who captured Philadelphia's quirks better than anyone. And just a really good dude on top of all that. He will be missed.

You hear this complaint most from people at legacy programs who suck at their jobs and fail to innovate. Previously, they had so many advantages it almost didn’t matter if they were clueless. Now? Adapt or die
"The current state of college football is not sustainable." BS. Indiana had the same access to the players in the portal as everyone else. It's one thing to spend money -- Indiana did but not as much as you thought per Cignetti. It's another to coach it up, put it in the right place and call the right plays. Texas Tech was close. Ole Miss, a mid-major in the SEC, was too. Indiana weaponized the current land$cape. Try to catch up. There will be others. Turns out, the portal and NIL weren't separators. They leveled the playing field. For decades, what Indiana did was not possible. Now Cinderella is driving a Maserati. As messed up as things are off the field, the game has never been more accessible, enjoyable and fun.

Here's how tiny New Haven convinced a Big Ten team to play in its tiny, 867-seat gym Saturday. And guess what? There are plans to get another P5 team to come next year. "We're taking the NCAA by storm. We don't have the money, but we have the creativity." cbssports.com/college-basket…

This guy is the tailgate king of the world. 4am every single Eagles opener like clockwork. Can't even count the number of beers in his cooler. Some guys never reach their full potential. Not this guy. This guy was born to tailgate. Give him whatever trophy there is already.

Michigan is set to name five-star freshman Bryce Underwood as its starting quarterback with an official announcement set for tomorrow, sources tell @CBSSports. Had been the clear favorite to win the job throughout the offseason. Now set to officially be named the starter.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. I’ll always remember when the New England Patriots played Crazy Train when running onto the field for Super Bowl 52 (Eagles won that game)
