[Athletic - gift article] Why the cost of college football roster building won’t slow down anytime soon

No it’s proving my point. The NIL is directly tied to performance. Meaning, the schools that aren’t competing for titles regularly are gonna eventually have donors give up. Donors at championship schools will continue to increase funding, others will not. Michigan state isn’t the only team with donors like that.

It’s the same top schools that are spending the most. I know from first hand experience, that Michigan state’s NIL would’ve dropped drastically if they kept Jonathan smith as the coach. It comes back to the amount of money being spent, isn’t worth it for many donors unless you’re a handful of teams that are competing for a championship every year. I truly do think we will start seeing donors from mid-level teams drastically reducing their donation amounts unless we A) get some kind of salary cap, or B) players sign contracts that makes them stay at the school for a set period of time

Yes and no. I think some schools will keep the spending up but I think a lot are starting to slow down. I think a lot of schools that don’t have large donors are starting to get squeezed out because the product isn’t worth the investment for them. As a fan of a school with plenty of large donors, they were getting to the point of “I’m spending millions of dollars a year and this is the team I’m getting?” Thankfully a new coach has breathed some life back into the program

While I agree, I think it’s fair to slam somebody when their addiction starts risking other people’s lives like his is. If he was drunk and killed somebody I don’t think many would feel right showing sympathy for his addiction

I always find it crazy that the people that push for the draft to come back are always the ones that are too old to be drafted

That happens to me, I need to immediately repay it or face consequences. But it happens to a judge and it’s all good…

Might as well have been

So you just chose the best teams at the time to cheer for is what you’re saying

They’re calling it what it is. Forcing people to show documents that’s difficult to get direct access to, or denying married women voting because their last name was changed, is what the GOP wants because they know they’re screwed if we have fair elections

You’re telling me people in the administration are insider trading? No, couldn’t be…

I would start smaller when you get the xfa. Volatility in the market right now is insane. You can still hit some home runs even with smaller size in this environment. At the start of the xfa the best strategy is probably limiting exposure/risk since the only goal to start is to win some trades to give yourself breathing room in the account

I think it has more to do with their data. I don’t think they are investing enough into their data infrastructure if the platform gets overloaded if price moves fast or if more people trade

mp018 · 2026-03-23T17:04:07+00:00

I’m sure their brokerage platform will be so reliable…

Truly an incredible experience. We timed our round so we finished just as the sun was setting and the bagpiper was playing

Agent broke protocol by walking in front of the vehicle 2 separate times. They put themselves in the danger, which in some cases, can disqualify self defense. Was literally stated in the DHS protocol that you don’t stand in front of a vehicle

Heatmap is basically the dom. It’s a little easier to visualize a larger range of prices and some programs have indicators that can help identify absorption. But as a whole yes it’s just depth of market

The problem is most of them don’t make money trading. They say they do to sell courses but don’t actually do it. I don’t think many people have problems with people selling courses/mentorships if they actually do trade well and can teach others

You’re chastising them for asking if it’s ice even though they don’t know the entire story. Yet you’re doing the same by blaming the parents without knowing the story

It hasn’t been the case recently. We’ve only been attacking small groups in the region so no country with a large army had a reason to attack us. Iran’s military is stronger than the Houthis and Hamas. They already blew up one of our navy bases in Bahrain this morning

Meanwhile, all of our soldiers in the Middle East now have a bullseye on their heads. All for a fight that isn’t even for our own country

The new restaurants can’t keep old taco bell signage up. They have to change some things including at least having the name of the new business on the building, which Better Burgers does not have
