Sports get antitrust exemptions, would be interesting to see how applying for one would shake out politically.

Get Congress involved and they will make the wrong decision.  I don't actually know what that would be but they would find it.

It can't be fixed without Congress based on the court decisions made so far. 

Once the floodgates opened on these suits, they just aren't going to stop.   College sports and football in particular were victims of their own success.  The money got too big to ignore.  People want some of it and are trying to exploit every angle to get at it.

The collision will be about entry not cutting.  I believe the sec and big10 form a superconference, adding a couple of key outsiders.  They will leave high school kids to the other P4 remnants and lesser programs and then pick from that pool of players. Those schools could then determine how long those players play. It would be to their advantage to keep those older players who are great college players but not likely nfl stars.  Arkansas has always had a lot of those players. 

They aren't employees but contract workers if the money flows thru the AD.  As long as it's nil then school gives a scholarship and training.  Players are 1099 from their moneybag.  Hope the get taught about taxes.

Marcus Dumervil signed.  1 year left.

6'5 330 lb OT from Maryland.  Played a couple years at LSU.

Nice get. Looks like we've decided to spend a lot of money on the O-Line at least.

Agree.  I do like the strategy for sure. 

Don't look now but we've got some really nice pieces, especially the tackles. 

It's obvious protecting Taylen next year is paramount, and the staff knows the breakdowns we had all year up front in protection cost us 2-3 wins. 

In fairness for all the wailing going on about our transfers out, we've done a really nice job in the portal.  I think we've even improved on the guys we lost.

Any Oline w/ E'marion Harris starting is not a good line.
Things of that nature

Harris would be better as a guard than as a tackle. That's always our problem and a lot of other programs can't get legit tackles to play that position against today's edge rushers.

Hopefully they gel before we play the Klansmen. The problem with the portal is that although we get some guys that look good and have some experience, they are not on the same page during the game.

This happens more and more. Hell, ya'll say wait till March for our basketball to get it together!

Not going to build much consistency these days with the portal and NIL these days, let alone BLS.

No way he has eligibility left.

He is going on his fourth school.  Pretty crazy when you consider he spent three years at Arkansas.

How the hell does he still have eligibility left?

Edit - guess he got a medical redshirt for 2022. That plus the covid year gets him to the 2025 season.

He's been an early and successful adopter of the nil culture. I don't blame him for maximizing his value while he has some, because the NFL doesn't want an undersized safety with bad shoulders. He played hard while he was here which makes him okay in my book.

Agree. It's too bad he didn't come back to Arkansas.
