Poverty franchise type

Just a reminder as to why Seattle probably won’t get a basketball team Surrounded by folks who can’t get the job done

Yeah I’d way rather have urias / rojas hold it down Devers is a bad defender Good take

Trust me the mariners will compete though Some teams want to win some don’t Is what it is

Hopefully more franchises follow suit

Down so bad

‘Great turnout’ While trump sells out stadiums we have the ‘president’ doing rallies in some MN gym. Might have 50-75 people there. I don’t have a dog in this race. Just looking at it from a 10,000 foot aerial view. However with 81m votes he was the most popular president of all time. Wouldn’t the most popular president of all time draw better crowds? Make it make sense.

Smart athletes never will need to pay for a car while at university This is not exclusive to football players.

But coaches will preach loyalty all day and expect players to do anything I’m telling you, care more about yourselves. Get paid and take care of your family & loved ones.

Absolutely thrilled to see college athletes diving into the world of NIL deals. These young talents have the potential to reshape the branding landscape. My predictions for the most exciting brand partnerships? 1. Cutting-edge athletic-tech companies 2. Sustainable fashion brands 3. Health & wellness giants 4. Local businesses with strong community ties 5. Innovative sports gear startups Can’t wait to see these athletes thrive beyond the field.

NIL has come a long way since 2021! It's been a life-changing initiative for college athletes, allowing them to cash in on their talent and hard work. Athletes are now partnering with brands, taking their social media more serious, and even start their own businesses. It's not just the top stars benefiting; athletes in all sports are getting a piece of the pie. But it's not all smooth sailing. There are challenges, like the risk of unequal opportunities and the potential for distractions from school and sports. What does this mean for the future of college athletics? Some believe its better then its ever been, and I am in that boat. IF you believe that this is killing college sports, then why are you still talking about it? What do you think, #NIL fam?

Let's talk #NIL disparities. Ever wonder if where you play affects the deals you land? Schools in major media markets often have stronger alumni networks and more corporate sponsors. This means more NIL dollars potentially floating around for student-athletes. Think about it - a local car dealership might sponsor a star QB in a small town, but a national brand might target a QB with a huge social media following. But hold on, don't count out the "small town advantage" just yet! Local businesses can still be huge NIL supporters. Think endorsements with hometown restaurants, sporting goods stores, or even community events. Strong local connections can be just as valuable as national exposure! Not everyone will be making millions and that’s ok. This is just the start of these young athletes professional careers. The key takeaway? NIL is still evolving, and location is just one factor. Building a strong personal brand (think social media engagement, community involvement) can help any athlete stand out, regardless of zip code. What are your thoughts? How can we ensure a more equitable NIL landscape for all student-athletes, no matter where they play? Share your ideas in the comments!

Are NIL deals stirring up tension among teammates or actually strengthening teamwork? Some worry that big-name players cashing in might mess with team spirit, but it looks like the opposite is happening. Lots of teams are seeing tighter bonds as athletes cheer each other on. The athletes who’re getting paid are sharing some of the wealth. Create a vibe where everyone respects, and understands where the other is coming from. Jealous teammates = bad teams!
