In an alternate universe, Texas Tech at Cincinnati is the Brendan Sorsby Bowl. He's not playing but a lawsuit still looms. More on that, and a question I posed to NFL Draft analysts: Where's Sorsby's stock in a year with college QB uncertainty? @FOS frontofficesports.com/articl…

1. Excellent article by @achristovichh, who is establishing herself as one of the top sports business journalists. 2. Also, wow, is this college sports industry dislikable! As much as we teach students that might doesn’t make right, higher ed sure behaves as if it does!

We have reached the stage at which well-financed interests are deploying scare tactics to pressure members of Congress to support deeply flawed college sports legislation.
First at FOS: College sports now has a dedicated Super PAC. The College Sports United PAC was created to ensure the current version of the Protect College Sports Act passes the House without amendments. Story by @achristovichh ⬇️ frontofficesports.com/articl…

"It's been proven that having a salary cap does make sense for the business." White Sox part-owner Mat Ishbia tells FOS his thoughts on the MLB labor negotiations and why pairing a salary cap with a salary floor could actually make it "pro-player."

Replying to @hshaban
We didn’t pay them anything and there’s no special deal. They’re launching these substacks because they think it’s a good idea. And I agree. It’s a very good idea to build a network of substacks. Networks are powerful.
