Should have known they were up to no good when they started trying to convince people that numbers weren't real

Michigan and USC want no part of Petitti’s brain fart.
Listened to Tyler Kai UNL Deputy AD for Revenue Generation yesterday.
stated that the only reason Michigan & USC refused was because their cut wasn't enough (smaller than Ohio St.)
Said he fully expects this or something very similar to come around in the future and be accepted by the conference
said too many athletic departments are deep in debt and struggling to compete

yup, it's inevitable.

When Michigan gets the value they want, they'll be first in line

Yuck.  

Soon I'll probably have to pay a subscription to be able to use the tiger in my avatar.  

I'll owe a tiny royalty payment every time I type LSU*TM

Good thing for me is that nothing the Badgers can do impacts my quality of life.

Sure, it sucks when they lose, but when they win, I get nothing out of it but pleasure.

I miss that pleasure, but I can live without it.

I'll miss college football too... 

Actually, I already do.

not sure about quality.... as you know college football was a bigger part of my life back in the day.  Perhaps that wasn't good.  Perhaps I should have been more concerned with more important things.

my life had more passion, enthusiasm, and was perhaps a bit more happiness when college football and the Cornhuskers were better back in the 70s, 80s, & 90s.

the excitement is gone but, at my age, life just isn't as exciting as in the past.
it's OK, it's just different

“I gave money to a kid, I won’t mention who. I’ve done it one time at UCLA, never met the young man. He was there a year, he left after the year. I wrote a sizable check, and he went to another school. I didn’t even get so much as a thank you note. So, it’s one of those deals, to where I’m done with NIL. I want to see UCLA be successful, but I’m done with it.”

And Troy took a few shots to the dome, but when giving under the table payouts, my assumption is you don’t want to document with a thank you note.
