🚨 Big Announcement🚨 Today I’m launching something new: NILnomics — a newsletter about the 💰 and 📊 behind college athletics. 🔗newsletter.nilnomics.com
Not sure which fanbase's cope I'm enjoying more tonight - @ToledoFB or @UMassFootball. There's a smorgasbord of the stages of grief going on.
There's actually a lot of insight here even though I know it's sarcastic. Where is all this PE $ going to be spent? Does the past give anyone a sense that it won't be spent frivolously on buyouts, facilities, and blown out coach's salaries (yes, and player salaries too)?
Penn State is going to blow all their private equity money on James Franklin.

Seeing David Ortiz do this to Jeter and ARod fills me with such joy
Papi to the Yankees: "Join me in Cancun, baby." 🤣
Wait... the CSC paperwork isn't actually signed? The wild Wild West of sports always gets wilder I swear
P4 schools have yet to sign the infamous “participation agreement” that would bind them to CSC rules & penalties. One league is delaying as it is against a postseason ban, thrusting enforcement into “no man’s land.” Our sports biz column for @On3sports on3.com/news/big-tens-…
This is so good
I’m drawing a bright line: college sports are not for sale. They are highly subsidized public goods and should be managed in service of their public educational mission, not carved up as a new asset class for private equity or foreign sovereign wealth funds.
EXCLUSIVE: A new bill has been introduced to block private equity deals with athletic departments or conferences, according to a draft of the bill obtained by FOS. No school or conference would be permitted to sell ownership stakes to a sovereign wealth fund, PE, or hedge fund.
ESPN's Mike Farrell produced and directed this amazing piece for our ESPN Triple Header tonight. A brilliant idea and flawless execution. There is nothing like hockey. Find a quiet spot and watch this. Stay present. Stay grateful. Keep doing hard things. Game 1 is here. 🫶🏻❤️

I'll tell you one thing I DO NOT MISS - managing people. It’s hard enough to manage myself.
I love how my states flagship constantly shoots itself in the foot when it comes to athletics

I learned so much from this episode of @SportsLawPod - greet chat with the @HorizonLeague commissioner. Worth a listen podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spo…
Bingo 🎯
Here’s what’s going to be contextually hilarious about this: How are the schools going to argue that it’s both NOT pay for play AND that the payments have been terminated b/c they’re not playing? 🤔
HOLY HELL HOW DO I GET THIS FOR MY DISSERTATION?!
