In An Era of Big Money, the University of Illinois Shrugs Off Rules on Athletes’ NIL Deals
—

Records show that a fraction of the school’s athletes are complying with a state law requiring them to disclose endorsements. In the wild west of college sports, Illinois’ flagship university says the rules are losing relevance.

A few random #Photos from my #MarchMadness . The month went by so fast and life changes so quickly. Looking back over the month……it was a good one. A few things I’m grateful for…..
1-Photography of nature and the extremely talented people that teach me every time we go out together, brings me joy and keeps me grounded in this world. 2- And I live in a wonderful community surrounded by people who show me how much they love and appreciate me everyday. I am thankful and humbled

#Arizona down 19. Yup.

"He may not have the size, but he has the girth." Yeah, okay.

Well. The #Wildcats are within 6 at the half. I'm sticking with my prediction.

#MarchMadness #Sweet16 #CBB #CollegeBasketball @cbb

I'm pleasantly surprised. Thought #Arizona would be WAY out of this by now.

"That bottom man has to talk loud, early, and often." WTF am I watching again?

#MarchMadness #Sweet16 #CBB #CollegeBasketball @cbb

Hmm..#Arizona playing some tough defense. Interesting.

#MarchMadness #Sweet16 #CBB #CollegeBasketball @cbb

This won't end well, but here goes. #Arizona

Damn, #Alabama put up 113 on #BYU.

#MarchMadness #CBB #CollegeBasketball @cbb

2.5 hours until #Arizona gets hammered by #Duke, so I have that to look forward to. /s
