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

incredible shade by wvu here though

Wanna feel poor? Here's what the biweekly payments sent to a coach on a $10 million buyout really look like.

The Rao's at the Ryder Cup pop-up (presented by Crypto dot com) costs $2,750 per person

TIL Bronco Mendenhall’s son is named Breaker

Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State officially "parted ways." The timing makes me wonder if there was a negotiated buyout. He's owed $15 million paid through 2028, per his contract. We may not know for a while.

The Mike Gundy story I could never get to the bottom of was why a guy who listed Gundy's personal address as his own and Gundy's dad Ray as his emergency contact kept getting arrested in Stillwater.

Unfortunately, you won't see any fun public records about Mike Gundy's firing for some time because the school has been inundated with requests ever since its president resigned after an audit found $41 million in state funds were secretly steered to a pet project of hers.

lmao this makes me feel like I was shot

Neal Brown makes more every two weeks from a job he got fired from than I make in a year. That’s fine. That’s fine! After all, I’m a single parent raising three kids, and he’s a mediocre football coach. Sometimes this sport really does make me sad.

An opening for an EA at a Silicon Valley startup pays $180,000. At an SEC program, the EA for a head coach is making $21 an hour. In this week's FOIAball, we look at how underpaid the women (and they're all women) who make these programs go really are. foiaball.beehiiv.com/p/underpaid-...

Well that was quick. It's the Iowa Hawkeyes

nope!

Fun fact: We found just one P4 program that still calls its EA role a "secretary." We've got a free one-year subscription to the first person who can guess who.

THIS is the content I am here for! 🤣

We did not cover it in the piece, but Sark did have a yoga session scheduled so... sort of.

We cannot let the antisocial inventors of social networks, who hate food and find eating inconvenient, come for our kitchens.

That's cool, because i generally ignore the big 12 at the same rate i ignore barstool.

BYU's AD was left off the Zoom invite for the Big 12's call with Portnoy

The Big 12 wants to position itself as the "natural partner for Barstool's style and audience," according to a rundown for the conference call ADs had with Dave Portnoy, obtained by FOIAball.

Warm up for college football with some … college sports/politics reading? Eh?

A week into its 2021 title-winning season, Georgia sat a star defensive lineman for a game without explanation. Only a few people knew that cops were looking at him for assaulting his girlfriend. Took the paywall down, so give the full piece a read! foiaball.beehiiv.com/p/georgia-fo...

Wow! I lived in Athens when my sister was at UGA for undergrad, and the football program was/is a major cog in the Athens identity (including calling the stadium "the house that Hershell Walker built").

Incredible investigative piece here on UGA football and their relationship with local law enforcement and uhhhh it isn't a pretty picture that's painted!

FOIAball obtained years of emails from top Athens deputies to Bryant Gantt. They show Gantt was sent dozens of police reports almost immediately after incidents happened. And they show the police department used private, personal social media channels to share bodycam footage of player arrests.

In Georgia's 2021 opener, Devonte Wyatt powered the team to a win. The next week, he didn't play snap. Why sit a star player after a dominant performance? The answer, like so many questions swirling around the team's conduct, lies in Bryant Gantt's inbox foiaball.beehiiv.com/p/georgia-fo...

When my witness crumbles under cross.

The Georgia Film Board has its in for Michael Clayton 2 here.

just want to note David Covucci's newsletter, FOIABall, which looks at college (American) football through the lens of public information requests! super super interesting application of FOIAs, and a pleasure to read, even as someone who doesn't follow sports much
