Never said it was wrong. But the usual suspects cannot bother to read what they post and take it a step further and read what is referenced in what they post. Instead they latch on to what they want to believe is true. The funniest part is that they are complaining about education while showing their own lack of education.

The irony is that none of you so-call education experts took the time to educate yourselves. Instead you let someone do the thinking for you, even though they got it wrong. Can't make this shiit up. Even though it is made up.

For real. Seems like an intentionally low number to try to eliminate pay-to-play arrangements.

Let's take a look at Quiver Analytics. They say her portfolio has returned 745% since 5/16/14, while the S&P was up 242% in the same time period. They also have a graph of her net worth. In May 2014 it was $121.59. Now it is $256.72 for a return of 111%. So which is it? 745% or 111%? Beating the index by 503%? Or missing the market by 131%? The use of AI to get these answers is the least intelligent thing you can do.

You just aren't thinking creatively enough.

I think I found the site. I hesitate to share it, though, as the numbers do not add up. For example, when you look at "position" by position breakdowns the 174 data is not consistent (how can you have an average deal size of $5k and average total earnings of $2,931?). The position graphs would imply there are roughly 7 reported deals so far for wrestling. But when you look at the all positions graph the smallest whole number that fits the percentages in the donut chart is 264. But here it is anyway. https://nilassist.ncaa.org/data-dashboard/

I am very interested to see how the clearinghouse process plays out. Will data become public? Doubt it. But I can hope. I imagine it will be shared with schools (and maybe athletes?) though. How quickly will the first lawsuit be filed over a denied deal? Whatever number you produce, I will take the under. How much will we learn about deal sizes from court filings? Or from athletes' attorneys? Hopefully a lot. What will Deloitte reveal about how they are modeling fair market value? Likely the blackest of boxes. From NIL Go's FAQs: Range of Compensation (RoC) - RoC is anchored in valuation principles to determine if a student athlete’s third-party NIL compensation is commensurate with compensation paid to similarly situated individuals with comparable NIL value. The RoC is a deal level calculation that is intended to capture a student-athlete’s unique NIL value based upon multiple factors, including but not limited to, the deal’s performance obligations, the student-athlete’s athletic performance and social media reach, the local market, and the market reach of his or her institution and program. The RoC will also be informed by external benchmarks. In order to compare to "similarly situated individuals" you need to have a bunch of data. Where does that data come from? Is it Bob's past deals? Is it based on other sports? Minimum wage? Works/study wages? How do they value these multiple factors? What is an obligation worth? What is the athletic performance work? What is the value of social media reach? Why does local market matter if a school's reach is national, or international? What are the external benchmarks that inform? There are just so many toeholds for enterprising attorneys.

yes, everything over $600.

I always find you game of "this thing happening now isn't bad because some other thing from the past was worse in my opinion" to be amusing.

So, you have always been naive.

That Trump replaced with a bigger golf simulator. There is just no way around the fact that no president has wasted as much time golfing as Trump. Nor has anyone ever been as hypocritical about it. “If I win I may never see my property – I may never see these places again. But because I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks.” And you believed.

Mason went 0-2 as a freshman for Minnesota, 2-2 as a sophomore for Rutgers, and 0-2 as a junior for Rutgers. Not sure if he was injured his senior year, but Scott Theobold wrestled 149 at the 2013 EIWA tournament for Rutgers.

Amen

Air and Water Show

He has no idea how Trump spends so much time on recreation? Me neither. I remember when he criticized Obama for playing too much golf only to play 2.5x as much in his first term. Now he has spent over $52 miilion in taxpayer's money in 7 months on his golf boondoggles.

So you should also take the under on 4 since 4 is a push.

That is beautiful. This is ugly.

It sure seems popular in your twitter feed. Why would that be?

That they are even using a hotel printer, which requires connection to the hotels network, is stunning. Next thing you know they will use Signal to discuss war plans with a journalist.

The Trump administration hiring practices make one long for DEI. The level of incompetence from the cabinet level down is stunning. But competence is not the hiring criteria, allegience is. It is why Hegseth still has a job in spite of his epic, historical incompetence on top of his lack of qualifications.

From a BVI poster:

Retail sales data is not adjusted for price changes, so a 0.5% increase can be indicative of more units sold, or higher prices for the same or fewer units sold (i.e. inflation).

This is the kind of thread that makes me jealous that I do not have the same kind of shared history as you guys. On the other hand, I could do ear modeling.

Pistols at dawn. In one of the other threads I made the point that this was just accounting, not an argument for "best".

The 2023 bracket rules the roost (for now). The only substantive difference between 2023 and 2024 is the swap of Shane Griffith for Mitchell Mesenbrink. Once Mesenbrink completes his four years it is likely that 2024 will surpass 2023.
