You know what, jeff computers? I agree. Let me start.

I think this guy's plans to bankroll Michigan football recruiting are stupid and bad, and I think more people should tell him that.

i think it's apparent that the lack of any consequences or guardrails or competition or any constraints whatsoever for these freaks has made them mottled and rancid (see, eg, good times, soft men or whatever). no one will tell them they look stupid or that their ideas are stupid. played themselves

Not the point here, but I also hate how everybody latches into the same advertising format because it works once. I see ads for “the Duolingo” of coding, of history, of sex, of religion…and I’m sure there a dozen other lousy apps making the same pitch. Be original!

Something I'd like to better understand:

Why is there a tacit assumption that a new B1G Enterprises will generate substantial "new" revenue? Other than broadcast rights, the most interesting IP is owned by schools. Unless those will be combined?

Instead of hiring a player personnel guy or an NFL person, William & Mary is hiring...the old dean of their business school to serve as an (interim) GM:

this feels like internet content that @edsbs.bsky.social would appreciate

I actually have not! But I should probably read it

I just did the actual math for this (will probably blog it for tomorrow's EP), and yeah, I think I'm right.

If we define meeting expectations as a five-star QB as like, "making third-team all conference at some point", I believe only three recent five-star QBs would qualify!
