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?

A lot of smoke around the Ringer and Substack -- why are Ringer writers launching Substacks vs... writing for the Ringer?
Substack CEO finally commented Weds: âWe didnât pay them anything and thereâs no special deal.â @EllynBriggs @BenAxelrod @FOS

Asked @PabloTorre his reaction to *that* ESPN story from before the Clippers punishments came down:
"They didnât ask for a comment, but once the story came out, I was informed that if you give us a comment, we will include it... it was disappointing that the comment I gave... was not included. The thing that was disappointing about that chapter was just that Iâd worked with all those people. I had respect for all of those people. And thereâs an opportunity to reach out to me, not that Iâm owed it, but perhaps that would have saved a lot of people some headaches... I can only bring a horse to water on that." @FOS
You can read @colincsalao story on this and watch the full intvw with Pablo from our Tuned In summit here:

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 doesnât 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.

Apollo's Sam Porter on buying into the NFL, onstage at @FOS Asset Class last month: "We have to look and figure out what is a place, a position, where we can enter, either through a partnership with a club or whatever that looks like. Weâre still in the early stages of that, but weâd be remiss if we didnât take a hard look at that league given how big it is" @AEricFisher
