What do we think @mikegolicjr.bsky.social ?

Wait fuck AM I autistic?!?

I'd love to! You can find my newsletter, which I use to pay my mortgage, my employees, and my debilitating energy drink addiction, at www.extrapointsmb.com

okay just about done editing this for tomorrow

currently writing a #blog for the sickos and anybody else that wants to debate how good or bad a potential college football head coaching job is for this cycle HOW TO TALK ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL BUDGETS WITHOUT BEING A DUMBASS. MY COLUMN:

Give me....24 hours and I'll look this up (the REAL revenues are gonna mostly come from tuition, so we dont see em, but I can get the biggest budgets and largest travel spends for sure)

Okay, that’s enough of “Matt uses social media as an assignment editor because he can’t afford a full newsroom yet.” Time to take turn off the computer and hit the phones for a while. Thanks for following along and humoring my broken brain!

Besides purchasing an affordable advertising package in the extra points family of publications? :) pitch the ADs, SWAs and student success associate ADs in your market to give free seminars. They bring in outside professional voices all the time

I don’t think it’s even lowkey. He’s absolutely one of the best coaches of my lifetime. Utah is very, very fortunate that they’ve nailed three hires in a row.

It’s been a few weeks since I made calls on this, but my understanding (on the bike, so double check this lol) was that the Gov signed a bill to commission a study. It’s real enough to contemplate and other D2 leagues are contingency planning

Serious answer? Conference TV deals and athlete rev share contracts. I’ll probably sue for some by the end of the year. Shitpost answer? The @noescalators.bsky.social UConn Batman college football PowerPoint

They’ll spend a shitton of money on the next guy and then learn nothing. Money isn’t real and virtually nobody will face any meaningful consequences for screwing this up.

I’ve worked from home since I moved back to Chicago in 2018, and honestly, rarely eat there now. When I went to Loop regularly, my favorite was Pierogi Heaven down by Clark and Lake. But if I eat out, it’s mostly in my own neighborhood these days

Gonna hop on the workout bike for a while. I’ll answer any questions for the next 40ish? Minutes. If they’re really good (or I can’t answer them in one tweet while I’m on a bike) , I’ll throw em in a mailbag newsletter.

hector, you did it. im not depressed anymore

you know what? thank you, that actually does make me feel better extra points is strangely popular with people who dont actually care about college sports business and policy

siri, feeling particularly down in the dumps. how do you make dopamine come out of this website

anyway, if you didn't get raptured, good news! You can read today's Extra Points newsletter, about me wanting to FOIA God, and also about loving something that holds contradictory ideas. Like college football. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/this-is-a-...

holy shit, this is an excellent guess, and I'm confident nobody is going to beat it. The correct answer is $7862.40 for 130 cases of uncrustables. Griffin, lemme know your email so you can collect your prize.

lets play a quick game who wants to guess how much money Indiana football spent on uncrustables last season winner gets a free month of extra points

filing a shit ton of open records requests this morning (mostly for contracts and revenue related stuff for a few future stories) you guys want anything while im in spreadsheet hell today?

There are like 300 people or so that regularly tell me "HEY WRITE ABOUT OTHER STUFF BESIDES JUST SPORTS BUSINESS, WE LIKE HEARING YOU", so newsletters like today are a good exercise to see that's true....or at least, worth another 300 people unsubscribing. It could be! idk!

@robertkelchen.com random question that I figure you might be one of the few people to may know....do you know if there are standardized reasons why athletics data from EADA and the MFRS report differ? I know which data set is "better", but not sure if EADA is wrong in a uniform way, or randomly

anyway, if you didn't get raptured, good news! You can read today's Extra Points newsletter, about me wanting to FOIA God, and also about loving something that holds contradictory ideas. Like college football. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/this-is-a-...

Time to hop on LinkedIn to post "what being Raptured taught me about B2B sales"

Please clap: I did some unironic church posting in tomorrow’s extra points and did not make a single rapture joke. I edited both of them out.

I’m sorry I’m so brain poisoned but I look at this picture and my first thought is like, that dude looks like he’s about the lead the Miami hurricanes onto the field

I feel like the most unrealistic thing about the Cyberpunk 2077 universe is how massively important elevators seem to be we figured out a way to jump 30 ft in the air and hack people to death using our brains but we still gotta wait 5 minutes to get to the 24th floor of an apartment? For real?

My man David Byrne released a new album this month

I’m not autistic, but I do take Prozac, adderall, and I’ve published thousands of words on the Airplane Conference. I assume that’s gonna be enough for these guys to put me in a camp eventually right?

Which conference will be brave enough to announce that they’ll move to a zero conference game schedule

I reached out to the athletic department earlier today to discuss this proposal, but was told they'll have no additional comments until after the board votes on the 30th.

IN ALABAMA!!!!!

doesn't look like I'm gonna finish this before the rapture tomorrow, but in the unlikely event that *doesnt* happen, I'm still working on this (and taking interviews! DMs open) and hope to have something out in the next two weeks.

This is not the professional background I'm used to seeing for college basketball GMs. Doesn't mean it can't work (I mean, c'mon, its Radford)...but it isn't what I usually see. radfordathletics.com/news/2025/9/...

Bingo. A great children's book can have a few winks and nods to the adult reader (Grover's Monster At The End of the Book is a great example of this, imo), but if it clearly and explicitly written for the adult, rather than the kid? Chances are, it's gonna be a lousy children's book then

I have no idea what Nanette is but if we’re talking about content that it’s now safe to say sucked, I’d love to nominate A is for Activist, which was a horrible children’s book that nobody asked for. Nobody wants to read that 400 times!

okay I've got this in for tomorrow's extra points newsletter (which will be free)

Does this mean I don’t have to write a newsletter Monday night

(Sitting in church) I’m trying, but sometimes this still feels so unfamiliar. New rituals. New traditions. Language I don’t totally understand. Can I still connect to this? (Sermon immediately interrupted by crying babies) Okay NOW it’s church. We’re back. I understand this now.

I SHOULD write this, good point. I even have reporting to add!

Hmmm. What should I write about for tomorrow?

Illinois right now:

Indiana's wideouts are playing like they're full of Homefield Magic right now

Finally, somebody has the guts to stand up to noted bigot @alexkirshner.com we don't use such hateful terms like "punt returner" on this website, sir.

EXCUSE ME?!?!?!

Unironically wondering if I should write about a school potentially trying to do this to get out of paying all of their buyouts

Most traumatic weekend for Gundy and Dabo since Cracker Barrel changed its sign.
