NEW: This year's @Players_Era Championship, despite media reports, is *not* guaranteeing teams $1M in NIL money. In fact, @UNLV's deal, which @Sportico obtained via FOIA, was set to pay $800K in NIL while requiring school to buy $200K in tickets.👇 https://t.co/NE0udoZ9Fx

Indicted NBA Player Terry Rozier Resolves $8.2M Federal Tax Lien https://t.co/O5m024hXmy via @sportico @DanielLibit

Saban is such a hypocrite. He literally fired Lane Kiffin after the CFB semifinals because Lane couldn’t handle being Alabama OC and FAU head coaching duties.

Not a single person I’ve spoken to in the industry of college football, including agents(!), would allow Lane Kiffin to coach a SEC team in the playoff after accepting a job with a rival SEC team. This narrative has been manufactured by CAA and filtered through ESPN.

NEWS: Terry Rozier has resolved an $8.2M federal tax lien, per Broward County (Fla.) records. @pinepaula & @DavidPurdum first reported on the IRS lien from '23—the same year Feds accuse Rozier of participating in a sports-betting scheme. For @Sportico👇 https://t.co/WppZ6CjTyF

Sure. Lots of companies let an employee who leaves for a direct competitor stick around for a month, keep their log ins, maybe poach some team members.

I read the entire 65,000-word order in the AAF bankruptcy case. My policy is I won't write about a legal filing until I've read it at least once, and as many times as needed thereafter, until I feel like I fully understand it. That's not a great approach for breaking news or

Some college football powerhouses are clinging to one-sided revenue-sharing deals that heavily favor the schools. These programs are either too proud to adapt or simply haven’t grasped that the recruiting landscape has fundamentally shifted. Teams willing to offer players fair

NEW: Kalshi has been hit with a nationwide class action lawsuit in the SDNY for operating an illegal online sports betting platform and for "duping" customers into believing that they are legally gambling against other consumers when they are actually gambling against the house.

The six-year bankruptcy litigation for the bankrupted Alliance of American Football—remember the AAF, the league that abruptly collapsed, and players & staff weren't paid?—ends in a judgment for $1. Not a typo. I have details + analysis for @Sportico: https://t.co/WPpuTIvT2P.

I suppose the good news for @Players_Era is that even if they aren't actually guaranteeing/paying every participant $1M this year, @ESPN will continue to report that they are. https://t.co/NE0udoZHv5

In its debut year, Players Era made a splash by guaranteeing $1 million in NIL money to each of its participating teams. This year, the financial ground has shifted, and Players Era has subtly massaged its messaging around its promised payouts for the current event, saying it

COMPELLING STATEMENTS: Judge Montgomery-Reeves: “When markets change, so too must the antitrust analysis.” NCAA statement: “The NCAA will continue to defend its eligibility rules against repeated attempts to rob high school students of the opportunity to compete in college.”

No, Players Era Is Not Guaranteeing Teams $1M in NIL Money This Year https://t.co/YBVUSCf4mE via @sportico

Should heavily subsidized and floundering programs like UMass Football continue chasing FBS dreams? @Sportico's @DanielLibit, @novy_williams, & @LevAkabas tackle the issue: "Since 2012, UMass has posted the worst record in FBS" https://t.co/KCtZKvT0XW

UMass may have gone 0-12, their first winless full season in program history (excluding 0-4 2020). But that means they can only go up next year!

UPDATE: @PoweredByBPS CEO Rob Sine counters @UNLV claim Blueprint is not handling Players Era deliverables for school, and provided @Sportico emails showing a Blueprint employee communicating with Players Era this week about tournament specifics.

This is going well.
