SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Oh no. It is never good to be on the Acquisition side of the M&A game. And that is all it is: a game for executives to increase the value of their own options in the short term.

Per Front Office Sports, NCAA athletes are doing well in the era of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) marketing. Football players have received nearly half (47%) of the money so far spent. To my surprise, women basketball players have earned 27.3%, far outpacing their male counterparts who have picked up 15.6%. Perhaps this should be no surprise, because many of the more recognizable players turn professional after a very short college career.
