  1. The PAC2, will have no bids in any sport as a two team "conference". They are not even a real conference in the NCAA next year. A conference needs six members, which is why Johns Hopkins is in the Big 10 in lacrosse.
  2. I am pretty sure that as a Canadian he cannot get NIL money. All foreign students, except possibly Canadians, cannot get NIL money because it is work. They are only allowed in the country as students.
  3. It is live! https://ubgivingday.buffalo.edu/giving-day/85918/donate

  6. He has been all the way to Rhode Island as well.
  7. I am not sure that I would want to follow Calipari. Leaves UMass followed by NCAA violations. Leaves Memphis Followed by NCAA violations. Leaves Kentucky... I think the only head coaching job he had that he left that was not sanctioned by the NCAA was the Nets.
  8. Are people really upset that a basketball player who only had scholarship offers from Albany and Fairfield and decided to walk on at Arkansas State and was not recruited by UB? Is that the level of recruit that people want?
  9. Apparently, setting up a NIL group as a 501(c)(3) to allow donations to it to not be tax deductible is now the IRS' position and that the earlier approvals were in error. https://www.sportico.com/leagues/college-sports/2024/irs-letter-nil-collectives-tax-exempt-status-1234774152/ Here is a recent letter from the IRS denying 501(c)(3) status to a group. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xuA1L2pmZJQ04Ipr0D0LfpX_w64Yrsg4/view?pli=1
  10. As an ex-Lehigh coach, there is nothing bigger than beating Lafayette.
  11. I have no idea if they would be a cost and if there is a cost I have no idea as I am not an underwriter. Also it would not be football. It would have to be the cost for every single athlete, because if one is an employee they all are employees.
  12. It is much more complicated than that, in setting benefit rates and New York allows for rates to go down as people recover from their injuries. If player is "benched" but is dressing and going to practice they would not be entitled to any money, because they are still "working".
  13. Actually, SUNY would be in better shape than most to handle workers' compensation. The State of New York for all intents and purposes is a self insured employer through the State Insurance Fund. Syracuse, although a self-insured employer would have issues because they would have to increase the value of surety bonds given to New York State to cover athletes. A school like Colgate or Hobart would have major issues. The you would have Army and the Merchant Marine Academy exempt from workers' compensation liability in New York State because they are federal.
  14. That is a $7,000,000.00 per year average. There are bot enough hats in Western New York to have raised that type of money. Also Oats is from Wisconsin. Speak for yourself. Some of us give as much as we can, if not a little more than we should. I disagree. There are haves and have nots in college athletics. When a have drives a Brinks truck up your driveway you are going to accept the offer. If someone offered Schmidt to quadruple his salary, it would be bye bye Bonnies.
  15. The relationship between the school and player is no different from Division I and Division III. Both will fit the definition of employer-employee relationship under New York Workers' Compensation Law. https://store.lexisnexis.com/products/new-york-workers-compensation-handbook-2015-edition-skuusSku13149 (The link is to the 2024 Edition, due to be officially published in the next two weeks.)
  16. I do not see RIT moving all sports to Division I. To join the MAC they would have to bring back football, which they dropped after having to come from behind to tie UB, when UB had not played a game in seven years.
  17. As more and more people see this, or people not finding another school to play for, I believe the portal will have fewer entrants.
  18. Unless he reached a deal with St. Bonaventure for some money on his way out, his buyout was $0.00. Remember he quit, he was not fired. Buyouts have to be paid when an AD or a coach is not fired for cause (cause is not bad results, cause is for violating rules. See Cohane, Tim).
  19. Assuming academics still has something to do with college athletics, how does this guy have interest and offers from these schools and UB, Penn and Columbia? UB and the two Ivies would seem strange given all of the other schools listed, especially the Ivies and a JUCO transfer.
  20. The courts will decide. As of now there is no enforceable requirement to make someone sit a year for a second transfer.
  21. Well money is not a guarantee of success.
