For the longest time, I couldn't remember the last name of a girl I dated for 15 months in college. I think it was my brain trying to protect me from the social media age and looking her up. 

I ended up meeting up with a mutual acquaintance who ended up out here in SoCal during my divorce, who I think thought she and I might hook up at the time (although I had already met / was dating / had my now wife at the event) and found out her name. 

And then I looked her up. I dodged a bullet getting out of that college relationship!

Clemson Sues The Acc (rivals.com)

How much longer can that conference go?

The B1G would probably take at least 4 schools, probably 5 with Georgia Tech.

So, UNC, UVA, FSU, Miami and GT all want out as a result. Possibly Notre Dame?

Clemson wants out.

That's 7 including ND.

The SEC will take (in addition to Clemson) NCSU and VT.

That's 9. Can the remaining members even stop them?

Will Stanford and Cal bail and re-join the PAC, which could merge with the MWC?
I read some of the FSU pleadings, not the Clemson pleadings. If the ACC has the money to defend, they would have a reasonable chance of winning, and holding on until 2036. In any event, I see no way the ACC continues as is beyond 2036.
With the Clemson suit, which I have not read, It is increasingly questionable whether the ACC has the money to pay attorneys to defend on two fronts. I am no longer as certain the ACC can hold the conference together without renegotiating media rights, or without nabbing Notre Dame as a fulltime member.
Notre Dame would be the ACC’s lord and savior, but if it doesn’t share their NBC contract proceeds, it won't be enough to supply the needs of the schools. I doubt Notre Dame would join if the ACC isn’t given another playoff team.
As much as I want to see my alma maters play in football, I don't like the direction this is going. I liked the Big Ten with MSU, and even with PSU, and Nebraska. I like the regional rivalries, with occasional games against outsiders.
As the two super conferences solidify their hold on college football by holding onto an increasing share of the playoff teams, Notre Dame will someday have to join a conference, and I think that will be the Big Ten.

Who are the idiots who still fund the NIL groups?  I cant imagine giving two shits how MSU does.  If they are good, Ill bandwagon.  If not, whatever.  If I didnt go to the school I truly have no idea how you could possibly care.  Its just a random collection of kods

I never even knew the last name of the girl that I dated the summer after my freshman year of college, until much later in life. For whatever reason, I never bothered to ask.

I most times wish I could remember more of my college daze 40 years ago

and then sometimes appreciate the lack of memory

I didnt even know Purdue offered education majors.  During my one year at IU, I assumed I met the full spectrum of aspiring teachers in the state of Indiana.  And it was a WIDE spectrum

At UF, they'd have mixers for College of Ed and Engineering.  I didn't go. 
I've gone back and read some very sporatic journal entries, and have read women's names and couldn't remember who they were.  That's probably sad.

As for college football.....if everything proceeds how it looks like it's going to, it becomes the XFL or AFL:  a second-rate football product that people will not care about.
Money would be made along the way, but then it would crash and die.
BUT
if some decision-makers with foresight could format things in an old-school way under the coming umbrellas, things could be fine.  They could actually turn back the clock while progressing forward, which would keep college football different enough from the NFL (as it has been, historically), to be successful going forward.

That's what makes this all so frustrating.

There should be contracts with NIL. This would be a breach. F that kid and the idiots who enabled him.

There are contracts for NIL.  They're typically one-year deals, and they often require some kind of action by the athlete, in order to remain valid.  Public appearances, endorsement videos, etc.  If those aren't fulfilled, then the contract is in breach. 

And if the NIL group DIDN'T protect itself by writing those restrictions into the contract, then they're stupid and deserve whatever they get.  Or more to the point, whatever they don't get.

Every ag teacher in the state graduated from Purdue. I'm only slightly exaggerating.

Of course. Purdue is the land grant school. Same goes for UW-Madison. It has the Ag College.
