IntroWe previously wrote about NIL in relation to NBA G League Salaries and the options that young players now have when deciding to go pro or not. That article was strictly about basketball, and it's important to note that NIL is applicable to all college athletes.

Have you ever wondered what footballs are used are various levels of the game? Better yet, have you ever actually thrown an NFL football? If you're like me, you quickly gain an appreciation for the hand size and arm strength of NFL quarterbacks when you pick up an NFL football.
Today, we look at the regulations for high school, college, and the NFL, the size of the footballs being used, and the differences between the three levels. Tags:
Can We Confidently Name the GOAT?When it comes to GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debates, NFL quarterbacks are near the top in terms of popularity. While their are certainly still fans of franchises, as some of the greats have left their mark, fans have increasingly shifted their allegiances to players. For example, their are Tom Brady fans all over the world, despite many never having stepped foot into the Boston or Tampa areas.

The Best Books About College FootballCollege sports books can be tricky in that most people show the alma matter love or follow a specific team based on family dynamics or geography. There are certain programs that seem to transcend that, usually due to national prominence and success. I can't say for a fact that the University of George has more football fans today than they did five years ago, but I'd be willing to bet that they do.
And Georgia is investing accordingly. The Bulldog's spent $4.51 million on recruiting in 2022, which may not seem like a lot until you see that 2017's budget was $2.27 million. With winning comes more money, which is spent on better players and things, which the Bulldogs hope will lead to more winning. While the college game has certainly evolved, never has the business of college football been more scrutinized. I've written previously about books about college coaches and even more specifically, Nick Saban. Today, I'm going to bypass the biographies of college coaches and focus more on the sport itself: *The crossroads of business and college football *The history of the sport and the impact it's had on broader society *A unique look at a season at Michigan and Mississippi State Here are five books that go beyond the game itself and are worth your time.

There have certainly been a plethora of movies made from popular books, but what about sports books specifically? Here are five sports books that made their way to the big screen. If you've seen/read one, I'd love to hear your take on which one was better! Tags:
Into to Nick SabanGetting a book written about you is an honor of a lifetime. In Nick Saban's case, there are so many books that he's either the most fascinating man in the world or has been great at his job for a very long time. We know the latter to be true; jury's still out on the former.
