Historically, was USC a top 5 or 10 program in ratings? I’m curious. The Pac-12s decline was truly led by the fact that in recent history they didn’t have an elite fan favorite. I also think Covid affected the Pac12 worse than other conferences by quite a bit. The Pac12’s lack…

Very few athletes can fundamentally change a sport — Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, etc. Caitlin Clark may be one of them. (Chart via @LevAkabas)
Too bad she’s gonna take a pay cut to play professionally, right?
It’s so cool to see how excited Caitlin Clark’s new teammates are to have her in Indiana, especially after some of the comments over the last few months. That entire city is going to rally around her.

A good explanation of new NIL rules adopted today. Nothing overly significant. Schools can pay for 3rd party services for athletes (think attorneys, accountants, etc.) & help facilitate deals. They (and 3rd party service providers they contract with) still can’t pay athletes.
