I have no idea if this is true or not but being in a city (as opposed to a town) in a place that loves wrestling would have to give them quality NIL opportunities, right?

And what "city" do you have in mind?

It should be, "Steel Town USA" if he's true to his moniker...

He is going to Cal Poly SLO because they promise to teach him Surfing & will give him his own board.

Isn’t the guy who beat Henson at Nebraska?

They're 2-2 against each other and both national champs, Caleb a favorite to become a 2Xer. Both have other guys around that weight that can push Bo as well.

I misread your comment.  I said it Ok St then and that's what I said now.

You said “it was always Okie st. Let’s not kid” to “ I think it’s going to be Okie St”.  
 

ya. That’s the same.

Someone somewhere said the bridge was burned between tOSU and Bo Bassett when he committed to Iowa. Anyone have anything to add to that? Did anyone else read or hear that somewhere, or am I alone and mistaken on this?

i don't believe it for a second. Ryan didn't know he was considering other schools? I guess he might have freaked out on him when didn't committ to tOSU and it got burned from bassett's end.

Is it true MP walked him to the bus stop but never saw him get on it?

He posted 4,181 schools In his theatrical committing sequence.  I feel tom Ryan knew he had a few on his list

So this is what happens when you read the headline, but not the article. You end up looking dumb.

Its the internet. I am allowed sarcasm and you are allowed to not understand when you are reading it.

In the sense of what NIL is supposed to be (sponsorships, etc.) yeah, there are tons of businesses that will do NIL stuff with kids at PITT. In the NIL world of it being a vessel for big money to be paid to the kids just for coming to the school, Pitt does not have the donor base for that (but my understanding is that NIL is getting capped with the new clearinghouse stuff, so it will be more even playing field)

Not a hard cap, per se. Any deal over $600 has to be submitted to the clearinghouse for approval based on its relation to "market value". I put that in parentheses because they defined market value (value in an open market) a little different than what we think of it (whatever someone will pay). If the deal is over fair market value it will be rejected. 

There are a whole lotta problems with their defenition, though. The stock market is, by any definition, an open market, and yet there are any number of stock prices that bear no relation to the value of their assets (Bed Bath and Beyond, DJT, Strategy, and many other crypto treasury companies). These stocks would probably spit out of the NIL Go algo as overvalued and get rejected even though their prices are decided in an open market.

I would think that someone will want to submit a big number immediately so that they can challenge a rejection in court.

In theory there should be, 90% of private NIL would not have met the threshold per some report I read a month or two ago so I am paraphrasing. In practice, I doubt it's that strict. People will figure out the loopholes - they always do.
