As you know, I'm a Packer fan. But I can't support them here, a rule targeting a specific team that has a skill that no other team has.

Translation: “Our previous leadership had their head in the sand for 50 years.”

What so many haven't understood about the new governance of the Wild West of college sports. It won't be the NCAA; it will be the Conferences.

The 49ers and the Chargers are selling off small stakes of their team, both approved today by the NFL. Liquidating hundreds of millions of dollars without giving up an ounce of control. Incredible business.

Just Packer stock certificates.

For non-Packer fans, a worthless piece of paper. For Packer fans, most valuable thing they own.

Andrew Brandt I view it as a voluntary tax. My family's shares helped pay for the Lambeau upgrades. My involuntary tax via the Chicago tourism surcharges from working in the city for 15 years helped pay for the Solider Field abomination. One is acceptable, the other is not.

On day of vote to ban the Tush Push, this is a familiar script: When Commissioner (and certain owners) want something that doesn't have the votes at the March meeting, they "table" until May. Then the politicking and language tweaking begin. Then they "find" the votes. On brand.

Also, using the no-owner Packers as a stalking horse for this was, in my opinion, diabolically strategic.

Brilliant moves by Lurie. Countered the injury-risk BS with his own injury-risk BS. Brought in the uber-popular Jason Kelce to counter the mistaken narrative attributed to him about the play. Tush Push remains; competitive advantage continues. Another win for the Eagles.

Have been consulting and advising Louisville Athletics and Josh Heird since January. Visionary and well-positioned in this transformational time in college sports.

Well kept secret. I've known Andrew Brandt for a very long time and he's 1 of the best in the biz. Have already negotiated numerous contracts with him in his new-ish role. Louisville is lucky to have him in a great athletic dept led by Josh Heird.
