I write Extra Points, a newsletter about business, policy and off-the-field stories in college sports. I do not make the college football video game.

good morning

sorry to blow up your feeds, but I do have some important

*personal news* Extra Points is back on the market.

The publication will likely need a new buyer or a new strategic partner in order to continue into 2024.

If I can't find that...I guess I'll need to go find a job.

Everything is on the table: Image

I'm not normally somebody who spends a lot of time on the NCAA infractions beat, but I'm headed out of town for a few days now and have heard *a lot* about this Michigan business. Here's a quick thread of what I'm hearing and my big Qs moving forward: For one, I've heard basically the exact thing WaPo reported earlier about a third-party law firm/risk management company (based outside of the B1G footprint) investigating Michigan's operation for an extended period, and then turned over a file to the NCAA. Video, audio, etc.

Read through the text of the proposed Ohio NIL law:

* Prohibits athletes from entering into deals with alcohol, marijuana, adult-entertainment or gambling related firms

* Prohibits athletes from entering deals that conflict with existing deals held by the school

(1/thread) * Requires athletes to disclose all deals to the university 15 days before they go into effect...something I haven't seen in many other NIL bills. This clause is supposed to give the school a chance to review for potential conflicts, then give the athlete a chance to revise
