In case you missed it, it was one heck of a Kentucky Derby.

Cherie Devaux became the first woman trainer to win the Derby.

Jockey Jose Ortiz won his first Derby on the 23-1 longshot Golden Tempo, coming from way back in the pack and narrowly edging out his older brother Irad Ortiz, Jr., who was riding co-favorite Renegade.

A thrilling race and well worth the just-over-two-minute watch.

No surprise. The NCAA stiff-arms Sorsby. Now, here comes the backup judge.

Unlike the judge in Mississippi, who is an Ole Miss booster and gave Ole Miss QB Chambliss another season of eligibility, the 1st judge in Texas, who graduated from Texas Tech (undergraduate and law school) and is a TT booster, recused himself.

😳 This is why BIG Ten or any school should stay clear of the private equity pitfalls.

Utah Sold its Soul for Private Equity. The Layoffs were Always Coming

This is what happens when you make a deal with the private equity devil, when panic supersedes sensibility and all that’s left is an all users emailand a skillfully-worded statement from a public relations hack trying to put out a fire.

Gee, who could’ve seen this coming?

A public university, desperate to stay relevant in an ever-changing college sports landscape, sells its soul for private equity cash. And now here come the layoffs.

“In preparation for the growth of Crimson Brand Partners, the university has begun the process of transitioning select units of some university operations to the new company. The first step of that process requires the discontinuation of the individual positions in those units through a reduction in force (RIF), to be followed by CBP’s hiring process.”

This is the problem with inviting the private equity wolf through the door: No matter what moves are made, it’s seen through the lens of green and greed. 

The university will retain a majority ownership of CBP (estimated at 66%) commercial operations, including but not limited to ticketing, licensing, NIL sales and sponsorships. Otro gets an estimated 33%.

The only way this thing works is if — and it’s big IF — Utah makes a boatload of cash in a college sports environment currently drowning in the deep end of inflation. A college landscape, mind you, that changes by the month and is wildly unstable.

But it takes all 10 FBS conferences (including the SEC and Big Ten) to earn a projected significant spike in media rights fees, and the SEC said last week it will keep its individual deal. The Big Ten is expected to the do the same.

A more dangerous scenario for Utah: The bill doesn’t pass, and the SEC and Big Ten are emboldened and break away as a collective unit to avoid the next bill(s) trying to prevent further conference expansion and a Big Ten/SEC breakaway (which the current bill stipulates).

Oregon Ducks Receiver Jeremiah McClellan Adds Major NIL Partnership

Oregon Ducks receiver Jeremiah McClellan's partnership portfolio keeps growing. Ahead of a potential breakout season, his newest NIL deal gives fans a new perspective on his acrobatic catches.

McClellan is becoming one of Oregon's most marketable players. The Ducks are aligned with sports innovation and cutting-edge products and this partnership fits the bill with McClellan's spectacular receptions.

McClellan announced a partnership with Oakley Meta, and used the smart sunglasses to show what it's like for the receiver to catch a football with first-hand video footage from the technology. It's a unique partnership that shows what no TV broadcast can - McClellan's point of view as he is making a one-handed or over the shoulder grab.
