Former Notre Dame walk-on football player Mick Assaf says his company, Yoke, has onboarded hundreds of college athletes since midnight on Thursday. The Yoke app allows athletes to make money by playing video games with fans. Rates for athletes range from a few bucks for a game to a few hundred bucks for their biggest clients, such as NFL receivers Antonio Brown and Chase Claypool. Yoke expects to have several thousand athletes from a wide variety of sports and schools on the app by the end of the week.

I'll just leave it in here for consistency but Master P's son who no one has ever heard of and is an incoming freshman to play basketball at Tennesee State supposedly signed a $2million endorsement deal with a company called Web Apps America.

Recruiting inequities (already exists I know)
Dirty money, exploitation, etc

Not official, but latest is it could be finalized within weeks for OU and Texas. Not sure when they'd start playing games in conference though.

Looks like it's an $80M buyout each if they leave the Big 12 before the '24 season.

Yep, I didn't see the numbers, but i read that they'd recoup that pretty quickly from being in the SEC.

They didn’t even show up to the big 12 conference call. Apparently only 2 teams to object them from the SEC are TAMu and Missouri

4 SEC teams have to say no to veto move. TAMU, Mizzou are hard no. Ark will be a no.

Alabama and Auburn will move over to East having an old school SEC royalty division( Bama, AU, TN, Jawja, Florida) ).

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I'd hate for LSU to lose the yearly rivalry with Bama.

The 1 time per decade we beat them is sooooooo sweet!!!
