Probably wasn't eligible at the end of the spring, had to take summer classes to regain eligibility, but that didn't work out so well.

The story just says he was determined to be “ineligible.” I made the assumption it was academics because I couldn’t think of what else would make a player ineligible. Regardless, whatever it was they must have been trying to fix it right up until the last possible minute.

I was looking for a huge underdog to use my FanDuel ‘No Sweat Bet’ on and briefly considered Duquesne, but with Toledo being a favorite in the MAC I couldn’t pull the trigger. Went with former D2 Abilene Christian to pull off the straight up stunner against Texas Tech. $10 bet pays $300 if I win. Fingers crossed, lol.
Texas Tech 52
Abilene Christian 51
That’s just cruel.

They gave it one heck of a go. Sadly the only highlight most people will see/remember is their god awful attempt at the winning 2 pt conversion in OT. At the end of regulation, down 45-42 they had 2nd and 1 at the Tech 4. They got stopped twice and decided to tie the game on 4th down. Not sure I wouldn’t have just taken a third crack at winning it right then.
Ringgold then scored and went for the win. They came up short. Ringgold has lost a WPIAL-long 28 straight.
Always a tough call.

I didn’t think they’d be this bad, but they never should have been ranked this high. I am surprised they are looking like this tonight, but I was pretty confident in my pick of GT on the ML last week.
FSU lost Jordan Travis, their top two WRs, multiple OL, and MOST of their starters on that defense. People saw a big name QB transferred there (who sucks, let’s be very clear about that) and that Roydell Williams jumped to FSU from Bama. So the voters assume they’ll be good. Reality is that team lost everything from last year. Kirk Herbstreit picked them to go to the Playoff, but he also said that people need to check some expectations given what they lost. That’s coming to fruition.

Watching this is like watching Pitt’s offense last year with Frank Cignetti Jr. and Phil Jurkovec. Just terrible football.
Completed passes mostly behind the line of scrimmage. Rhythm throws are late and offline. Things down the field are under thrown, overthrown, or thrown to somebody with the wrong jersey. Nightmares.
DJ is horrific.

For anyone who hasn’t checked ESPN (or their CFB news source of choice) a federal judge put the big NCAA settlement wrt athlete pay/NIL/roster limits/backpay on hold and ordered the attorneys to hammer out certain issues inside a three week deadline.
The two biggest appear to be- A clause (or clauses) mandating that booster payments to athletes must be for “valid business purposes”
- Concern that future athletes who are not part of the deal are or could be getting their future earning potential restricted.

I firmly support that the payments for NIL purposes need to be for valid business purposes. That was one of the critical pieces of what this entire settlement of the House, Hubbard, and Carter cases were structured around. Part of the settlement was having an independent third party auditor evaluate that the deal was fair market value for "valid business purposes," as you allude to. Essentially meaning the days of a school with deep pockets calling up the best player not even in the transfer portal and offering him 750k to transfer with no valid business reason are over - or should be permitted this all goes through as planned.
I don't like where this all ultimately landed in terms of the money side of things, but if this reigns in NIL some and puts more transparency on things based on the revenue sharing approach and audited NIL deals, it is positive on the basis of where we are at currently.
