I assume this means other schools will learn this, cut their entire humanities departments, and invest 35 million in NIL money and 20 million in support staff because this is all stupid.
SOURCES: Penn State is committing roughly $30 million in NIL money and $17 million in staff pool (assistant coaches, support staff, etc.) to Matt Campbell.

I think it was real bad for both fans and players that the supreme court legalized sports gambling
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.
