A telling comment from Seeley: "Agents were demanding guaranteed NIL for student-athletes. Schools felt pressure to guarantee those things even though such guarantees are not within the rules."
CSC CEO Bryan Seeley enforcement: "Some of the deals that we were concerned about that prompted us to put out communications during the portal have since been submitted into NIL Go. That's a good thing because they're reporting it, they're not trying to hide it."
Notably, CSC says the Power 4 aggregate deal value of associated party deals increased by 364% between Jan-Feb 2026 compared to the two months prior (i.e. the Portal).
The CSC says $166.5 million worth of NIL deals have been approved on NIL GO since last summer.
Could take seven games in late May of Thunder-Nuggets.
That dude went 10-10 last year lmao
Meanwhile, sixth seeded Furman tops No. 1 ETSU to win the SoCon. Welcome to the dance Paladins.
The dream of six games in six days has died. Valiant effort by Georgia Southern in the Flying V bracket. Alas, top seed Troy wins the Sun Belt and is headed to the big dance.
🚨🏈🏀New pod: Trump calls a meeting. Is the Sankey-Petitti power duo slipping? Concerning firing trend in college hoops. What's the best tourney structure for one-bid leagues? Husky Hoosier shooting legend rises. More. @bryandfischer.bsky.social, Kevin Sweeney youtu.be/EZgl8skFZ54
Darryn Peterson makes… second team All-Big 12 🤔
The MWC schedule. NDSU opens in Week 0 for their first ever FBS game against JaxState.
The NFL is spending all day celebrating tampering while in college sports, that's just a regular old Monday.
Tremendous news, heck of a crew to add to ESPN. espnpressroom.com/us/press-rel...
North Dakota State is going to the Big Dance. Bison win the Summit. Another top seed clinches an AQ.
Oregon State, zombie member of the WCC, is two wins away from the Big Dance with a fired head coach. March!
Kenpom ranks (within conference):
Queens: 181 (3rd, UCA 1st at 149)
LIU: 217 (1st by 67 places)
TSU: 185 (1st by 38 places)
UNI: 70 (2nd behind No. 67 Belmont)
HPU: 92 (1st by 60 places)
So, yeah, can't ask for much better from a "let's send the strongest teams to the NCAAs we can" standpoint
Jeremy Fears Jr. has turned into Grayson Allen 2.0, and not in a good way.
Seeds of NCAAT AQs in their conference tourneys so far (MBB):
No. 3 Queens
No. 1 LIU
No. 1 Tennessee State
No. 6 Northern Iowa
No. 1 High Point
Queens is king of the ASUN. First ever DI NCAA Tournament for the Royals just four years after moving up from DII (and right before school itself merges with Elon).
That's a rough one for Navy, the class of the Patriot League during the regular season but on the losing end of a buzzer beater from BU.
Don't think it's Iowa or South Carolina's day based on early returns in the WBB B1G/SEC title games.
High Point: also dancing after winning the Big South.
ARCH MADNESS! No. 6 seed Northern Iowa goes dancing after winning the MVC. What a run.
“I like this caaaaar, I like theeeese engines!” — George Russell, saying this while doing this in his mind:
And that’s not even getting to the new teams and Ferrari strategy decisions!
Overtakes and random blown engines. This new era of cars will not lack for entertainment.
Tennessee State, dancing. The OVC champs are headed to the NCAA Tournament.
Kim Mulkey’s late game strategy has broken Ryan Rucco’s brain.
