Me, @Sirhornsalot, @MBHORNSFANand @DMAC approved it at last year's end of the year meeting. Remember, you had to miss the meeting for another Christmas party you had to attend that night. Dmac was supposed to send you the minutes from that meeting. Guess he had partied a little hard during the meeting and must have forgot.

And, of course @DBut82laughed at my post since we voted him off the board that night. He partied even harder than @DMAC did and wasn't taking anything seriously during the whole meeting. We finally had had enough. The good news is that he is up for reinstatement at this year's meeting.

I've been pretty salty about how it all went down lol

I wasn't sure if it was allowed,  thanks for clarifying.  In my Mind it's too bad. The NIL basically makes these athletes professionals,  but puts some artificial constraints on exactly how their compensation can be structured. 

Even in the NFL you are compensated for prior performance. There is very little pay for current year production.

Been a huge issue with Olympic athletes for decades. And most importantly the reason we don't have EA sports NCAA Football anymore!

The biggest money is going to have a huge leg up (if they play it right) and the smaller outfits are going to get left behind.  

This is how it's been for decades.  The powerful have always ruled over the peasants

Recently that has been less true. With the big TV contracts any P5 team could largely keep up with the blue bloods in many ways. I suspect this will change that.

Yeah, I'm afraid I would be in favor of going back to the times when we beat Utah 70-3 in pre-conference games back in the day of DKR. We don't need parity as bad as we thought. lol

Beautiful, but imagine being the roofer on that building when safety was not an issue as it is today. Hats off to those guys.

I'm sharing a post from someone else on another board because I think it breaks down the 85-cap pretty well.

"The scholarship limit remains 85. Impact of Seniors returning to use their COVID year is an open question I have with respect to their inclusion in the 85 hard cap. 

The 33 new additions is because we had 1 unused initial counter from prior cycle which allows us to backcount on of this year's early enrollees +25 normal initial counters allowed +up to 7 additional initial counters on a 1:1 basis for attrition lost this cycle through 12/15 - we're well over the 7 to allow 7extra initial counters:
