    The Trump Administration will not enforce Title IX, but it is still the law.

    I get the argument that Title IX does not prohibit disparities in NIL deals from third party sources.

    For direct payments on revenue sharing, I think things are much less clear. Schools spent most of the 1970’s and 1980’s losing the argument that women’s sports are not revenue earners and therefore should not be allocated football or basketball revenue.

    The Trump admin may actually over enforce title IX, they’re using it in their anti trans war.

    Looks like Blue Chip %, so % of 4 or 5 stars of the class as a whole.

    it's just the blue chip percentage (5+4/total) and then conditional formatting to get the bar laid over the value

    the top end high school athletes are repped by same agencies that rep the professional leagues. No matter the sport.

    "guaranteed rev share" seems not legal

    someone is gonna sign that and then try to transfer and be told they cant and then sue and then we can finally move on from all this

    him getting absolutely dominated and back flipped on recently is definitely worrisome

    but also the optics of landing him is cool

    so

    Seems like this year more than ever the 4 ranking services (soon to be 3) are less consistent with each other thus it’s seems like there’s 60 5*

    I am shocked that an agent would blatantly lie on a reported contract he negotiated. If I can't trust them I don't know who I can trust anymore.

    still 15th in the CFP era in talent acquisition

    also, 14 of those 18 teams have a national title since 1992 (ie modern era), Auburn being one of them while playing for a 2nd

    so between acquisition of talent, commitment to winning, and actual on field results, Auburn classifies among the elite 18 teams imho
