Did anyone know Jonathon Brooks tore his ACL he just rehabbed last year in December? He's out for the entire '25

Hopefully he can make a full recovery, but usually stuff like that is tough to come back from mentally knowing you've done it twice already In as many years.
It's tough. I had torn ACL, LCL, dislocated kneecap and torn cartilage on one knee and torn ACL and LCL on the other knee.
 
For better or worse,It's now official. Texas can now start paying players directly.

"HB126 will allow colleges to directly pay athletes, putting Texas in line with the recent House v. NCAA settlement. It will also allow high school athletes age 17 or over to sign NIL deals, whereas only collegiate athletes could previously."

Buried the lede here.

The house settlement allows Texas to pay players. This new Texas law allows NIL deals for high school athletes in Texas.
 

This part is news to me, and hopefully brings some order to the NIL chaos.

"The settlement also imposes new restrictions on college sports. An NIL clearinghouse will be established, titled “NIL Go” and run through Deloitte. All third-party NIL deals of $600 or more must be approved by the clearinghouse. If not approved, the settlement says a new third-party arbiter could deem athletes ineligible or result in a school being fined. In a gathering at the ACC spring meetings last week, Deloitte officials reportedly shared that 70% of past deals from NIL collectives would have been denied, while 90% of past deals from public companies would have been approved."

Is this part bad news for USC and Miami who have been throwing money around wildly?
