What the EA Settlement Could Mean for NCAA in Ed O'Bannon Lawsuit
Common sense—and a sense of right—prevailed months ago. Last September, Electronic Arts and Collegiate Licensing Company agreed to settle with current and former college athletes whose likeness was used in video games.
The settlement felt inevitable. When gamers played as "Texas A&M QB No. 2" in the NCAA Football franchise over the past few season, for example, it was the worst-kept secret that they were playing as Johnny Manziel. But, because it wasn't actually Manziel—even though the avatar was clearly modeled after him—the NCAA, CLC and EA Sports didn't have to pay him a dime.
That is no longer the case.
The money that current and former athletes will rightfully receive has been determined. Tom Farrey of ESPN.com reported on Saturday that EA and CLC have agreed to a $40 million settlement.
How was the number determined? Who gets paid and how much? What does this mean for the ongoing Ed O'Bannon suit and the NCAA?
Let's get to some answers.
The Ruling
The settlement is relatively straightforward, but like many big legal cases it took a while to come to fruition.
CLC and EA agreed in principle to settle with plaintiffs last year, but because of various issues the outcome was delayed. In November, the NCAA sued CLC and EA over their intent to settle. CLC and EA were originally listed as co-defendants in the O'Bannon case along with the NCAA. But, as the lawsuit progressed the two companies opted to jump ship and settle on their own terms, leaving the NCAA to fend for itself.
The $40 million settlement must be approved by U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken.
The Numbers
For all the hand-wringing about paying athletes for the use of their image and/or likeness, the individual payout doesn't amount to much.
According to ESPN, athletes could receive as much as $4,000, though the Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes that individual payout could be "from as little as $48 for each year an athlete was on a roster to $951 for each year."
These are just estimates. How many apply for payment, the number of game appearances per player and when that player appeared in the game are major factors in determining how much they'll get.
Here's more from ESPN:
The suits mostly cover players who were on the rosters of Division I men's basketball or Football Bowl Subdivision teams that appeared in the EA Sports video games since 2003. If approved by Wilken, players will be alerted to the availability of payments and will have to register to get paid, using a formula based in part on how many years they were on those rosters. Plaintiffs' lawyers estimate that there are approximately 140,000 to 200,000 annual roster appearances in all three classes.
O'Bannon, former Arizona State quarterback Sam Keller and former Rutgers quarterback Ryan Hart will receive $15,000 for taking the lead in their respective lawsuits. Former West Virginia running back Shawne Alston will receive $5,000 for similar efforts, and numerous other plaintiffs will receive anywhere between $2,500 and $5,000.
According to Jon Solomon of CBS Sports, EA can cancel the settlement if a certain number of players "opt out." The number of players needed for that option was redacted from the public filing.
If those numbers seem like small potatoes, it's because they are. However, the $40 million settlement is only part of the formula. The O'Bannon case seeks so much more than monetary damages. It attempts to change or otherwise eliminate the rules that prevent athletes from monetizing off of their brand.
For some players, that could be well beyond a few hundred bucks.
What Could This Mean for NCAA vs. O'Bannon Case?
It would be surprising—almost unfathomable, at that—for the NCAA to settle with the O'Bannon plaintiffs in the same fashion as EA and CLC. College athletic's governing body is the sole holdout in the case, which is scheduled to go to trial on June 9. (However, the NCAA has asked for a delay in the start date.)
Fundamentally, the NCAA and EA/CLC are different. Therefore, plaintiffs want different things from each. Since all the latter can do is offer compensation for past wrongdoings, that's what plaintiffs demanded.
But the O'Bannon case—and the NCAA's role in it—is bigger than video games. There is television revenue, rules and the power to make (or toss out) those rules at stake. As NCAA guru John Infante explained in a special contribution to the Sporting News in April, plaintiffs are looking for more than straight cash, homey.
It's not that the NCAA would be unwilling to settle, either, but its terms likely wouldn't be enough to satisfy the plaintiffs, per Infante:
From past cases, we know what the NCAA is likely to be willing to offer in settlement talks: a significant settlement fund ($100 million is more than doable for the NCAA) and relatively minor changes to NCAA rules like expanded benefits for athletes and cost-of-attendance scholarships. Maybe if push came to shove, the NCAA would take the significant step of offering to adopt rules allowing athletes to profit off their likeness or reputation.
But if you are the O'Bannon plaintiffs and are all but undefeated in the case, is that worth giving up what appears to be an increasingly likely shot at getting up to half of the millions in television dollars that the NCAA and conferences take in each year? For the O'Bannon plaintiffs, the only reasonable settlement discussion might be what percentage of television money athletes will receive, not whether they get any.
There are platforms—like cost of attendance—in which the NCAA has shown a willingness to negotiate. But there are also core principles of amateurism that are the reason the NCAA exists in the first place. Deviating from those in some capacity, while not impossible, is a last-resort move.
And the NCAA likely won't budge from that position unless it is ordered to by law.

Texas Football: Position-by-Position Preview of the the Longhorns' 2014 Roster
The Texas Longhorns' next crop of freshmen arrives on June 3, officially locking in the players available to Charlie Strong and his staff this season.
Because the Longhorns, according to ESPN, return the most starting experience of any Big 12 program, few of the incoming players project to start. But given the lack of depth at key defensive positions, guys like Edwin Freeman and Poona Ford may be thrust into key roles.
Then, of course, there is the looming possibility that Jerrod Heard could bust his way to the backup job and end up starting before season's end.
Broken down by starters, backups and projected redshirts, here's the outlook for Heard's and every other Longhorn's position in 2014.

AL.com Names Alabama, South Carolina Preseason Favorites for SEC Championship
There is still a month and change between now and SEC media days, but as an early-June treat, the conference has released its first set of (unofficial) preseason predictions.
According to Charles Hollis of AL.com, the sports information directors (SIDs) of all 14 SEC schools voted on how their opponents will finish, and Alabama and South Carolina came out as the favorites in the West and East, respectively.
Here is the full list of division predictions:
Auburn finished neck-and-neck with Alabama for the lead in the SEC West, slotting in slightly behind its rival despite having beaten the Tide in the Iron Bowl last season and won the conference at large.
Interestingly enough, though, not every SID was keen on the Tigers' chances. Per Hollis, they received mostly first-, second- and third-place votes but also one ninth-place vote that stuck out as an outlier.
That wasn't the only outlier, either. As noted by Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee, one SID voted defending SEC East champion Missouri No. 13 in the conference—the lowest a team could be voted (as the SIDs were not allowed to vote for their own school):
This is an example of the variance in the SEC East, which also included a fourth-place Florida team that received one vote to finish last in the division. It seems like a free-for-all of sorts that any team could win.
But South Carolina is the small favorite, in large part—one has to assume—because of fifth-year senior Dylan Thompson, who is one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the conference despite spending much of his career behind Connor Shaw.
"We feel good with Dylan," said head coach Steve Spurrier, per Hollis. "He's a fifth-year player, and he wants to be our quarterback. He's played in some big games and played very well for us over the years."
As good as Thompson is, however, he was not voted to either of the two All-SEC teams by the SIDs.
Instead, Auburn's Nick Marshall checked in as the SEC's top signal-caller, and Mississippi State's Dak Prescott graced the second-team.

Georgia Recruiting: 5 Reasons 5-Star DT Trent Thompson Will Sign with the Dawgs
Trent Thompson is a big defensive tackle at 6'4" and 292 pounds (according to 247Sports), but he's an even bigger recruit. According to the latest 247Sports Composite rankings, Thompson (an Albany, Georgia native) is the top overall prospect in the country.
Thompson has offers from many of the nation's most elite programs. Alabama, Auburn, Florida State and others have all offered scholarships, but the home-state Georgia Bulldogs won't disappear without a fight.
Here are five reasons why Trent Thompson will sign with the Dawgs.

LSU QB Hayden Rettig to Transfer: Top 5 Potential Landing Spots
A former high school All-American is leaving LSU. Quarterback Hayden Rettig, who signed with the Tigers in 2013, will transfer elsewhere, according to Jim Kleinpeter of NOLA.com.
The 6'3", 205-pound passer spent his first season on campus as a redshirt reserve. Following spring camp, Rettig faced an uphill battle to supplant heralded true freshman Brandon Harris and sophomore Anthony Jennings atop the depth chart.
He enrolled at LSU as a 4-star recruit just 17 months ago, rated No. 9 nationally among pro-style quarterback prospects in 247Sports' 2013 composite rankings. The Southern California product threw for 3,400 yards and 40 touchdowns as a senior at Cathedral High School in Los Angeles.
The redshirt freshman finds himself back on the open market and may consider several schools for his second collegiate landing spot. We explore five programs that appear to present possibilities in terms of positional need and personal history with Rettig.
Position-by-Position Preview of Auburn's 2014 Roster
Spring practices may seem like ancient history for Auburn fans who are anxiously awaiting the start of fall camp and the 2014 season.
The remaining members of Auburn's 2014 recruiting class have arrived on the Plains for summer workouts, looking for a chance to break into the experienced roster for the defending SEC champions.
Several position changes have been made since the Tigers ended their conference title-winning campaign in Pasadena, with a host of newcomers making an instant impact in spring practices and the annual A-Day Game.
As the Tigers hit the weight room in preparation for fall camp, here is a position-by-position look at the names expected to make an impact this season, from the expected starters to the reserve role players (projected starters are in bold).
College Football Blue Bloods with the Hardest Path to the Playoffs
We know a little but not much about the due process that will determine which teams play in the College Football Playoff.
Which isn't to say the selection committee has not been forthright. They have been. It is only to say that because the system is so new, and because there are pieces of the process that seem more subjective than the BCS, we will need to wait and see before we fully understand how it works.
Specifically, we will have to see how the committee balances on-field merit with on-paper resume. Committee head Jeff Long made waves in May when he told the media, "We don't think in terms of most deserving on the resume. We're focused on the best four teams and the best ranking in the [playoff] top 25. Again, our focus is the best, not deserving."
This seems to open the door for potential biases.
The SEC is, in many peoples' opinion, the best conference in America, and this statute of "best, not most-deserving" could make it possible for a two- or three-loss team from that league to make it over a two- or one-loss team from another.
Which is why, for the purposes of this list, the SEC teams included were not all ranked at the front. They probably have the hardest schedules in America—i.e. the ones with the most SEC opponents—but because they might be granted slack for an extra loss here and there, they do not necessarily have a harder track to the CFP.
Furthermore, the only teams included on this list were ones with a realistic chance—as deemed by the writer—of making the CFP.
Teams with difficult opponents that never would have made it anyway were ignored. Tennessee, for example, probably has the toughest schedule in America, but it was not considered a modern "blue-blood" after posting four consecutive losing seasons.
This list is a group of teams that have found success the past few years, that are good enough—on paper—to make the College Football Playoff in 2014 but might have trouble because of whom they face and where they face them.
Sound off below if you disagree.
Meet the Next Deion Sanders, DeSean Jackson Combo: 4-Star WR Ykili Ross

Top 4 College Football Recruits Who Could Be Selected in the 2014 MLB Draft
A generation ago, athletes played multiple sports as a way of life. The only thing that changed was the season, as football bled into basketball, which bled into baseball, which bled back into football.
Modern times have brought a trend of specialization. Today, young athletes are far more likely to pick one sport early on and stick with it, playing on travel teams, AAU squads and training in the offseason rather than broadening their horizons as multi-sport athletes.
However, a number of talented athletes have continued the tradition of multi-sport success.
Russell Wilson excelled at baseball and football at N.C. State. He even spent time in the minor leagues, with the Colorado Rockies, before transferring to Wisconsin and being drafted by the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. He also spent time this spring in the Texas Rangers' minor league camp.
Notre Dame receiver Jeff Samardzija turned down a shot at an NFL career to focus on a baseball career, and he is now a mainstay of the Chicago Cubs' rotation.
2013 Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston excelled as a member of the Florida State baseball team this spring, compiling a 1-0 record with seven saves, a 1.08 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 33.1 innings as the Seminoles' closer.
With the 2014 MLB draft set for this week, a handful of college football recruits are on a similar track.
While some will be early round selections and others later round choices, these players could have an interesting choice to make, or at least a nice footnote for their biographies.
Rich Rodriguez's Unorthodox New Contract Could Open Pandora's Box
What if, as part of its courting of Nick Saban, Texas was able to offer him an enormous salary—say $7 million a season—and ownership in a handful of gas stations spread throughout the state as a cherry on top? What if—in an effort to keep Kevin Sumlin from dashing for the NFL—Texas A&M backed up a Brinks truck of guaranteed dollars and threw in a small percentage of ownership in a line of car dealerships spread throughout the Lone Star State?
Hypothetical? Certainly. Outrageous? Perhaps not anymore, or at the very least it appears to be where we're trending.
In a decidedly copycat sport—from uniforms, to scheduling, to salaries, to facilities—Rich Rodriguez's new contract at Arizona could serve as an icebreaker, a light-bulb moment for administrations and boosters to form an lucrative alliance.
The money, according to Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples, is just lovely by its lonesome. Rodriguez's new five-year contract will net him $2.2 million per season. This contract is also incentive-laced, including triggers like a $200,000 bonus for winning the Pac-12 South and a $1 million bonus for winning a national championship.
This is nothing groundbreaking, of course. Shoot-for-the-moon incentives have become a fixture in the coaching world, and the Rodriguez deal is no different. It's the other aspect of this contract, however, that could soon set a blueprint to follow, for better or worse. At one point in time, incentives were a trailblazing addition to coaching fine print. Now, such contract clauses could have company.
An Arizona donor has helped pad this deal further, offering up equity to Rodriguez, basketball coach Sean Miller and athletic director Greg Byrne. This "major university benefactor"—as outlined by the Board of Regents—has offered 500,000 units of a master limited partnership. Each unit is currently valued at $35.36 for a total of $17,680,000.
Rodriguez was granted 175,000 units of the 500,000, which equates to $6,188,000 right now. The only caveat for him to cash in on such options is that he has to stay at the school for eight years to receive this payout, whatever that payout becomes. If the price of the unit goes up in that time, Rodriguez's payout will go up; if the company struggles and the units drop in value, his payouts go down.
Unlike any coaching contract until now—at least the deals being celebrated publicly—this fluctuating incentive is not tied to record or national championships. It's built on longevity, a strategic attempt to slow down the coaching carousel and keep the Wildcats coach on the same sideline a while longer.
It is both brilliant and vaguely alarming, mainly because there's no telling what's next. If there's one thing we know about this sport, it rarely stops with the first move. The one-upping is consistent and expected, and that could certainly be the case here.
As FootballScoop.com points out, universities around the country are playing close attention:
Rodriguez could, in theory, be among the wealthiest coaches in college football - with only a small portion of that wealth coming from Arizona's athletic budget.
In talking with both coaches and agents within college football, there is no question how massive this contract clause could be within the profession. The word "game-changer" was used by multiple sources. It is impossible to overstate the proverbial eyebrow raise this news caused among college football's top-tier coaching ranks.
This sport has money buried in the mattress, tucked away in safes and stored out of sight in offshore accounts. It's not just the coaches, athletics directors and television money padding the pockets of school employees, either. It's the alums standing patiently on the sideline next to their Scrooge McDuck vaults, anxious to spend their money and perhaps buy a winning program.
It's why stadiums are being upgraded around the country at a greater pace than ever; why college locker rooms now have waterfalls; and why football facilities are starting to look more like five-star hotels and less like buildings dedicated to collegiate athletics. The money is flowing—sometimes from relatively mysterious avenues—and teams are taking full advantage by spending it.
Even though booster impact has long been a part of college football, the ante has been upped in recent years. This latest move by Arizona brings the entities a little bit closer, however, and the results are to be determined.
If wealthy donors are poised and willing to offer up equity in their companies to individuals, the entire coaching landscape could theoretically change. In a sport built on competitive advantages—i.e. whoever has the most money—this is just another way to widen the gap between those programs with remarkable means and everybody else.
On the bright side, this newfound equity could help stabilize the coaching carousel, which has become especially active and volatile in recent years. If coaches have a reason to stay, then perhaps they won't sprint from campus to campus as often.
Or, perhaps the booster involvement will escalate to the point where equity is now assumed in certain deals from certain teams—a part of the regular ol' pitch to coaches during the yearly reshuffle. That's where this brilliant endeavor could grow teeth.
It might not be a matter of where you are or how much your athletic department profited in a given season, but rather if you're on the good side of a one-percenter willing to share. At a time where the sport is becoming seemingly more corporate, the direct influence of corporations becoming the negotiators only elevates this to another level.
Perhaps what's most concerning, however, is that this sport rarely stops to admire moderation.
It doesn't stop with 500,000 shares, not when there are wealthy alums sitting quietly in the back willing to double this investment if and when the time is right. With as much money and resources as some of these wealthy donors have to offer—some of the wealthiest individuals in the world—there's no telling where this movement might take us.
If Rich Rodriguez—an outstanding college football coach—has already set a steep market, what happens when one of the nation's elite signal-callers and recruiters get involved?
Eventually, we'll likely find out.

Position-by-Position Preview of LSU's 2014 Roster
LSU head coach Les Miles is fortunate.
Not every coach has the luxury of Miles, who always has the talent at his disposal to fill in holes when players jump to the pros. This year's roster is no different.
The Tigers have a brutal schedule ahead of them, which includes eight SEC games and a tough nonconference season opener against Wisconsin. Miles will need both starters and productive backups in order to win to the conference.
Here is a glimpse of how the Tigers will look at each position.

ESPN Putting Mack Brown Right Where He Belongs: On Center Stage
This was bound to happen sooner or later. Maybe it's only surprising that it took as long as it did.
On Sunday, Chip Brown of HornsDigest.com tweeted that former Texas head coach Mack Brown would be joining ESPN as a college football studio analyst this fall.
An official announcement is expected to come later this week, according to Kirk Bohls of the Austin American-Statesman.
When Brown "resigned" last December after 16 years with Texas, it didn't feel like he would be out of work for long. The final four years of the Brown era in Austin were disappointing, but they shouldn't overshadow all the success he had before then.
He will get calls to coach elsewhere. Maybe he's already received a few. In time, perhaps Brown, 62, will return to the sidelines for a few more years.
For now, this is the perfect job for Brown. Working as a studio analyst keeps him visible on the national stage and caters to his strengths. Brown's personality and years of experience create a perfect combination for the job.
Some coaches just know how to turn on the charm when the cameras start rolling. Brown is one of those coaches. He's engaging, likable and smooth. College football, like all sports, is entertainment. The men and women who cover it may be called hosts, journalists or analysts, but they are also largely entertainers.
Former UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel of the Pac-12 Networks is entertaining because he sings. Lee Corso is entertaining on ESPN's College GameDay because of the headgear selection. Both have their quirks, and that's what they're remembered for.
Brown will be a good television personality, and if he can bring a unique voice to the set, he'll be entertaining, and the move will be reaffirmed as a natural fit. The real question is whether he'll be a good analyst, which is a distinct difference.
It's not that Brown doesn't know football; he clearly does. However, being a good analyst is about using that knowledge to break information down simply, but in a way others cannot. The best analysts are entertaining, yes, but they're also smart—and they treat their audience as such.
The jury is still out on Brown, the analyst.
There's legitimate reason for skepticism. Brown rarely, if ever, had a bad thing to say about anyone—ever. Listening to Brown in the week leading up to a game, you'd think every opponent, no matter how bad, was the 2005 USC Trojans.
To be a good analyst, he'll have to call things like he sees them, not sugarcoat everything. It would be a departure from the Brown that people have come to know.
But it could be a welcome departure.

Freak Notre Dame Recruit Quenton Nelson Destroys Two Boards with One Punch
Offensive tackle Quenton Nelson, a 4-star recruit according to 247Sports, is at it again. This time, he broke two boards with one punch in taekwondo class.
If you don't remember, Nelson is the Notre Dame signee who outbenched some of the top players in this year's NFL draft.
Nelson will enter his freshman year in South Bend in a few weeks, and his summer workout routine is in full swing. According to Nelson and his sensei, Kyong Hoon Kim, taekwondo improves his hand fighting technique—a skill any top offensive tackle needs to excel.
Taekwondo is just one aspect of Nelson's workout regimen. The 6'5", 295-pound freak athlete played on Red Bank Catholic's basketball team and participates in a cross-training program called RYPT.
He also does a more traditional strength and conditioning program with Joe McAuliffe, who has trained many NFL players, including Knowshon Moreno of the Miami Dolphins.
Look for Nelson and his incredible athletic skill on the field for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish next season.

3 Reasons 5-Star QB Torrance Gibson Will Sign with Ohio State
It's no secret that Urban Meyer needs supreme talent at the quarterback position for his offense to operate at its highest level.
At Bowling Green, Meyer had Josh Harris, who piled up 3,162 total yards and threw 19 touchdown passes while running for another 20 scores in 2002. At Utah, he had Alex Smith, who went on to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft. At Florida, he had Tim Tebow, who became the first-ever sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. And, of course, at Ohio State, he has Braxton Miller, who is well on his way to shattering every school record.
Five-star quarterback Torrance Gibson has the opportunity to join that list.
According to Luke Stampini of 247Sports, Meyer told Gibson in January that he was at the top of Ohio State's recruiting wish list. And despite the recent commitment of Joe Burrows, the Buckeyes are still heavy contenders to land the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, product.
With Miller on the verge of his final season at Ohio State, Meyer is hoping to land a 5-star talent to replace him.
Here are three reasons why that will be Gibson.
He'll Be Blown Away When He Finally Visits Columbus
Gibson recently announced his final seven schools via Twitter, and the Buckeyes came in at No. 5 behind Tennessee, Auburn, LSU and Oklahoma.
Of those five schools, Ohio State is the only program yet to host Gibson for a visit.
According to Ari Wasserman of the Plain Dealer, Gibson said that the Buckeyes are ranked low because he hasn't been to Columbus yet. Wasserman spoke to Gibson shortly before he announced his final seven, when the Buckeyes ranked fourth on his list.
"I just haven't visited Ohio State yet, and that's why they are No. 4 on my list," Gibson said.
That will change this fall, as Gibson is planning to make the trip north for a game. When he does, expect Ohio State to shoot up his rankings.
Ohio State's Offense Is Perfectly Tailored to His Strengths
Unlike a few of the schools in Gibson's final seven, Meyer's offense is a perfect fit for the the 5-star prospect.
Ohio State's base running play is the zone read, which is triggered by a quarterback with the ability to run. Gibson, who is rated the No. 1 dual-threat signal-caller in this year's class, can execute the zone read to perfection.
The Buckeyes will be able to pitch to Gibson how lethal he would be in their offense. While schools such as Auburn and Tennessee have the same advantage, Ohio State has something that sets itself apart.
And that would be...
Urban Meyer
While the current recruiting rankings don't reflect this—Ohio State is sitting at No. 53 with its three-member class—Meyer is widely considered one of the best recruiters in the country. He has backed that up while in Columbus, signing three consecutive top-five classes.
That should pay off for the Buckeyes down the stretch of this year's recruiting season.
Ohio State is in tremendous shape to land 5-star running back Damien Harris. Meyer could work that angle with Gibson, painting a picture of the two blue-chip recruits forming what could be one of college football's most dominant backfields.
Meyer has an incredible ability to put a class together and get players to see his vision. If Meyer can work his magic here, that vision would be tremendous for both Ohio State and Gibson.

Mike Slive's Division IV Threat May Be Empty, but It Will Get the Job Done
Change is coming, and SEC commissioner Mike Slive is going to make sure of it.
Slive wrapped up SEC spring meetings on Friday in Destin, Fla., and made a not-so thinly veiled threat to the NCAA in the process.
When asked what would happen if the "power five" conferences—the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC—fail in their attempt to push for legislative autonomy under the NCAA umbrella, Slive essentially said that, if the big five conferences don't get their way, they're taking their ball and going home.
Or, more appropriately, finding a new home according to Brandon Marcello of AL.com.
What if autonomy doesn't pass? SEC commish Mike Slive: "If it doesn't pass, the next move would be to go to a Division IV."— Brandon Marcello (@bmarcello) May 30, 2014
Autonomy, in this case, is defined as freedom within the legislative process. It would allow the "power five" conferences the ability to implement full cost of attendance stipends, expanded health coverage, transfer reform and other changes associated with player welfare.
How serious is this threat?
It's an empty threat, but a threat nonetheless according to John Infante of AthleticScholarships.net.
A fourth NCAA division is a non-starter since the NCAA has to agree to create another division.— John Infante (@John_Infante) May 30, 2014
If that ultimatum actually has teeth, the choice is autonomy or a new association, not a new division.— John Infante (@John_Infante) May 30, 2014
So what does this all mean?
Essentially, the push for autonomy is a push for progress—which is good for everybody.
The NCAA has dug its heels in for too long regarding player welfare, and thought it could get by selling the myth of amateurism even in an age when escalating media rights changed college athletics into big business. The Ed O'Bannon lawsuit and several others are attempting to change that, and the NCAA is becoming more flexible on defining amateurism more loosely.
But it isn't happening fast enough for the SEC, which according to Florida president Bernie Machen (via: George Schroeder of USA Today), is named in six lawsuits specifically pertaining to full cost of attendance. The "power five" conferences recognize the issues that are facing players created from college athletics becoming big business, and are doing something about it on their own.
With so much attention being paid to legislative structure this year, the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit reaching its most critical hour, Northwestern's push for unionization and the litany of other player-welfare battles currently taking place across the country, the NCAA can't afford even the perception that it's digging its heels in.
That's exactly what will happen if the "power five" doesn't get enough votes for autonomy (roughly 3/8th of Division I, according to John Infante).
The ideal Division IV would be for the "power five" to loosen the definitions of amateurism while still enjoying some of its benefits. The NCAA isn't going to let the "power five" have their cake and eat it too, but knows that the alternative would be worse for its own business in a critical time of its existence.
Division IV may be unlikely, but the threat is out there for very legitimate reasons. The "power five" conferences are basically saying, "if we don't get our way, we're wrecking the whole thing."
The big-business nature of college athletics won't let that happen, which means autonomy will happen one way or another.

"Photography and its use within the identification and representation of mental health"
I believe he would enjoy reading it but have no way of getting it to him, can anyone help? The reason for this is his programme on Bi Polar was a source of research for my work and I believe he is involved in a new campaign on the perception of mental illness.

MADISON (WKOW) -- The Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin says there's no question Joe Biden won Thursday night's Vice-Presidential debate.
DPW Chair Mike Tate is one of the featured guests on this weekend's edition of Capitol City Sunday.
Tate also says he's not surprised that Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin is still ahead of former Republican Governor Tommy Thompson in the race for U.S. Senate.
"We have Tammy Baldwin, who's spent a career fighting for middle-class families, fighting for health care and good jobs, versus Tommy Thompson, who's become a lobbyist in chief if you will," said Tate. "He's gone off and lined his pockets with millions of dollars from pharmaceutical companies."
But conservative columnist Christian Schneider believes Republicans are still in good shape in Wisconsin, specifically in state legislative races.
Schneider also joins Capitol Bureau Chief Greg Neumann this Sunday at 9:00 a.m. on WKOW 27.

Outstanding performance from Cole, and congrats to Mr. Asche.

Best game of the year. It would also be great if Revere won the NL Batting Title. He is certainly within reach.

Papelbon is a potential HOF relief pitcher, and he still has plenty in the tank. He has earned the right to be arrogant, in my opinion.

French Drain
First, make sure you're talking apples and apples w/your Plumber. See Construct A French Drain for a description of a French Drain.
Maybe he's talking about a clogged sump pump drain pipe. Maybe he's talking about a French Drain that 'runs' the perimeter of the foundation. Maybe, just MAYBE, you can save yourself a lot of $$$ by doing the following.
During the next sustained rainstorm, don your boots, raincoat, and umbrella, and do a COMPLETE walk around your home, looking UP at the roofline as well as at the ground. See if you can improve your drainage by improving the landscaping around your foundation. 1/4" per foot (for 3 feet) is the recommended MINIMUM slopage (and distance) you should have for drainage around your home. The more slopage (and the more distance), the better. (For example, 1" per foot for 3' is better than 1/4" per foot for 3' ...) Also, look to see if your gutters are leaking. Look to see if gutters are MISSING where water is running off of the roof. Be sure your downspouts are extended a MINIMUM of 3' from the foundation, and that water isn't running BACK towards the foundation. (We're back to minimum slopage and distances again ...) Once you install missing gutters, fix leaks, fix slopage, and extend your downspouts, if you still have water problems, you have more work to do.
My best to ya and hope this helps.

My students have many questions about the gun control ban. is it possible for the Vice President to answer these questions.
1. What do you think about the recent events involving guns that have happened and how can these events be avoided?
2. Why didn't Congress re authorize the Brady Bill in 2004?
3.How do you plan on countering the NRA's campaign to keep assault weapons legal? What type of public opinion campaign are you planning to counteract the NRA's Claims?
4.How will the passage of the newly proposed gun acts effect gun collectors in the future?
5.Children are concerned that they may not be able to enjoy the freedom and safety of going to school, malls, movies or even walking down the streets if things continue, what guarantees will be put in place to keep us safe?

Do you think this year's 99percent movements push towards global unity?
In campaigning against 'the man', many countries are carrying out similar movements and are joining together under one cause.
Do you agree or disagree? Why?
I'm writing a feature on this, leave your email address if you're happy to be contacted to discuss this further.

Nov 1 2011: I'm inclined to agree. No one seems to be making any demands, or laying out, even in rough detail, the solutions to the problems they're pointing out. Sometimes, when asked, I get this speech, sometimes I read it in response to someone else's inquiry, about revolution and being heard, or about how it doesn't need to be organized (which then brings it full-circle to being something about revolution). It's sort of like protesting disease without any demand or recommendation for a treatment or cure. At least here in the US, there ARE things which can be put in place to curtail corruption and corporate influence on government policy making, and they are things people talk about openly, but there doesn't seem to be any real effort to get behind those ideas in an organized way. I would think Occupy to be ideal for such a thing...
Nov 3 2011: Well to follow your metaphor a bit I think you are somewhat right in that nobody has cure they are trying to prescribe. At this stage its all about making the body stronger. Its about trying to form create our own rules for how society, politics and economics intermingle. There will always be some who try to only get as much as possible for themselves without regard to the greater good. One way to counteract this would be to proscribe greater regulation, which I would argue for, but it is equally important to for people find way of meeting needs, and applying skills in a more peer to peer way. In many ways I don't see it as a protest, but rather partial start over. As for coming up with a message, there are many, but yes it will take time for them to flesh out a bit. Maybe this will work maybe not, but it is still too new a movement to tell yet.

Trainer Tom Proctor has written his fair share of history at Tampa Bay Downs in recent seasons.
On Jan. 23, 2011, Proctor saddled both winners of a dead heat, Barbara Hunter's 5-year-old mare Keertana and Craig Bernick's 7-year-old mare You Go West Girl, in a mile-and-a-sixteenth turf allowance. "I just tell everybody I must really be good to be able to do that," Proctor said jokingly at the time.
Three months ago, Proctor earned his 1,000
career victory with Donato Lanni and John Youngblood's 4-year-old gelding Avanzare in a 1-mile Tampa Bay Downs turf allowance. "Winning 1,000 to me is basically a credit to a lot of nice horses, good owners and the people who work for me and make good things happen," Proctor said then.
The 2013-14 Tampa Bay Downs meeting has continued to be one to remember for Proctor, who trained exclusively for Ocala-based Glen Hill Farm until going public in 2005.
Through today's action, Proctor's 30-percent win ratio is the best of any conditioner with at least 30 starts. He has also sent out three individual stakes winners, the most of any conditioner (H. Graham Motion also has three stakes victories at the meeting, two by 5-year-old mare Cloud Scapes).
With better luck, Proctor could have gone 4-for-4 last weekend. After Glen Hill Farm's 5-year-old gelding Old Time Hockey won the $75,000 Tampa Turf Classic on Florida Cup Day, Proctor won with both of his starters the following day on the turf, 5-year-old mare Double Ante and 6-year-old horse Guest Star, both for owner George Krikorian.
Only a disqualification of 4-year-old Lori's Store in the Florida Cup Pleasant Acres Stallions Distaff Turf kept Proctor from a perfect Oldsmar weekend, but it was more than enough to earn the Zerillo's Italian Grill Trainer of the Month Award. Proctor has trained a record six Florida Cup Day winners in the event's 12-year history.
He extended his victory streak to four with 4-year-old gelding Chief Cochise's seventh-race victory under jockey Ronnie Allen, Jr., before his Empire Road finished third in the ninth race.
While Grade II winner Old Time Hockey, Suncoast Stakes winner Please Explain and Wayward Lass Stakes winner Dress the Part have excelled at Tampa Bay Downs, Proctor has enjoyed even more success with his West Coast string at Santa Anita in California.
The stable star is Glen Hill's 4-year-old filly Pontchatrain, who won back-to-back Grade II turf stakes this winter and is on a four-race stakes victory streak; she is sidelined with a minor ankle injury, but Proctor expects her to return to full strength by the fall. Other top Proctor charges include graded-stakes winners Global View, Temeraine, Customer Base and Pataky Kid, stakes winner Diversy Harbor and up-and-coming filly Theatre Star, winner of four races in a row.
How's this for symmetry: Through today, Proctor is 21-for-71 at Tampa Bay Downs and 19-for-67 at Santa Anita, while also competing at Gulfstream and other tracks. "Our whole stable is pretty strong across the country," Proctor said, "and that really helps us at Tampa Bay Downs, because if we're strong elsewhere, the talent trickles down. Tampa Bay Downs is a good home for us in the winter."
Proctor's late father, Willard Proctor, is a California legend, training such standouts as Convenience, Gallant Romeo and Major Impact. After taking over from his dad as Glen Hill's trainer, Proctor won the 1994 Breeders' Cup Distaff at Churchill Downs with 47-1 shot One Dreamer. Proctor was second in the 2012 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf with Marketing Mix and third in the 2010 edition with Keertana.
Proctor now trains about 75 horses for 35 different owners. "I'm lucky to have some really nice horses and be training for good people who have the same theory on racing as we do: Let the horse be what it is, don't push too hard and later on, they develop into a nice horse sometimes," he said.
His long-time assistant, Nicky Carrillo, handles the Tampa Bay Downs string when Proctor is in southern California and was on hand to saddle Avanzare for No. 1,000. "He is probably the biggest reason for my success at Tampa," Proctor said. "Not only is Nicky a great assistant, he is a very good horseman and friend.
"He's a guy who can tell me when I'm wrong about something, and not many people have that authority," Proctor added, laughing.
. When trainer Gary Patrick learned about 10 minutes before post time that today's second race was named in honor of late Tampa Bay Downs trainer Walter Abner, he was flooded with emotion.
The two grew up together in Ashville, Ohio, and rode at bush tracks in Ohio and Indiana as youngsters, as well as competing in barrel racing. They were also training rivals for decades, and to Patrick, it seemed as if Abner almost always got the winning hand.
"He was hard to outrun," Patrick said. "Walter took good care of his horses and knew where to place them so they would win." Abner, who died last April at 68 of a heart attack, saddled more than 800 winners, according to Equibase statistics.
Regardless of one's belief in fate, Patrick did indeed win the second race on the turf, a $16,000 claiming event, with 3-year-old filly Winning Forecast, who is owned by his wife Cindy Patrick. Huber Villa-Gomez rode the winner.
"I was sitting at the picnic table thinking how nice it would be to win the race for Walter, and dadgum, I did," Patrick said. "We were pals. We had a lot of fun together, and there are a lot of memories."
Also in the winner's-circle picture were Abner's life partner, trainer Barbara McBride; his stepsons, Jason McBride and Randy Klopp; and numerous close friends.
Today's sixth race, a six-furlong, starter allowance/optional claiming event for older horses, featured an oddity, with five of the seven entrants having been trained previously by perennial Tampa Bay Downs leading trainer Jamie Ness.
You probably can guess the rest: The ex-Ness horses finished first, second, third, fourth and – oops – seventh. Houston Bull, a 7-year-old gelding owned by Amaty Racing Stables, now trained by Herman Wilensky and ridden by Daniel Centeno, pulled away through the stretch for a three-and-three-quarters length victory from See I A, with Rocky Gap third and King Rock fourth. The winner's time was 1:10.41.
Ness had no starters on today's card.
Thoroughbred racing at Tampa Bay Downs resumes Friday with a 10-race card beginning at 12:42 p.m. The track is open every day except Easter Sunday, April 20 for simulcast wagering, no-limits poker action in The Silks Poker Room and golf fun and instruction at The Downs Golf Practice Facility.

Hey there girl.
So I get lots of questions on the blog and in email form about either how to make it OR about thinking about how to start trying to make it OR getting stuck trying to make it. A gentleman named Paul emailed me a very nice comprehensive email and I started to write a very nice comprehensive email back.
Then, as I was writing, I decided to turn it into a large 4 piece post on what I think are the four most important things you can do to become a professional photographer. They are (to):
Today will be about initiative #1, assisting. I will roll the other three out every couple days or so. They're gonna be a bit all over the place but, hey, so am I. If you have specific followup questions, drop a line and I will answer them.
So here is what I have to say about assisting. People either love or hate assisting. I personally loved my time assisting. I always tried to come into shoots with the goal of learning at least one new thing by the end of the day, if not twenty. Now that I'm hiring my own assistants, here are some tips. First, stay off your fucking phone! Be observant. You're getting paid to take in what you like, and don't like, about the photographer's shooting style, lighting, rapport with the subjects. Notice what you like and what works, and what you think he/she is doing poorly that you'd change when you shoot. Assisting is a great way to make rent, develop relationships, get to know gear better, learn advanced and nuanced lighting techniques, gather advice, observed how to problem solve, manage your time well before and during the shoot. Geez, I could go on and on. I think it's one of the best tools to learn how to become a photographer. So stay off your phone. Twitter will be there at the end of the day. Don't tune out. See what can be done, and use the time to observe everything.
It's remarkably easy to keep getting work from certain photographers when you do your job well. It's also remarkably easy to not get any more work if you've got a bad attitude, don't work hard, space out, are constantly on your phone (can you tell it's a pet peeve?). I was guilty of it too in my assisting days, but now that I'm on the other side, it's just frustrating when something needs to be done, and I'm the one that needs to do it, while the assistant dicks around on his/her phone, not paying attention. Also, show intent, care, hard work, motivation to learn, and being a solid member of a team, and a willingness to make the shoot run smoothly. That's all it takes. I assure you, you'll get a solid rep around town and soon have more work than you know what to do with.
How to get assisting work: Net(work) your ass off. Research every photographer you can in your city. Write them specific and personal emails to them, call out shots of theirs and why you like them. It is the only way you'll get a response, and a meeting with that photographer. You know what sucks? Getting an email from a prospective assist or intern or college student that obviously is writing 15 different photographers with the same exact email. That shows you don't care. Why would anyone want to hire/write back/interact with someone who doesn't care?
Anyway, digression aside. Arrange meetings with every photographer who you can in your city. Even if you don't like their work, have some respect for their work. Don't meet with people whose work you hate. Not worth it. Meet with them for coffee, have a good attitude, demonstrate a solid knowledge of photography, show you know some gear. Ask them for 3-5 other photographers you should be meeting with in town. Reach out to those folks, meet with them, and do the same, until you've met with everyone.
Also important… very important: stay in touch with these people every month, even if they don't give you work. Do this for at least six months. Photographers (and photo editors) get courted all the time. Often just once. Be the guy/girl who rises above and stays in touch. That signifies you care, you're not a flash in the pan. Also, from personal experience, I need reminders from people…. I can have a great interaction with someone…. but if I don't hear from that person for 2-4 months…. guess what? I forget their name. I remember they were rad, but I can't look them up! So if you're reading this, girl that called me, and was moving to SF and doing the 'assistant hustle', and I commended you for it, get back in touch with me cause I forgot your name!
That's all I have to really say about assisting. Oh, I will say I personally value someone who has a good attitude and is a good traveling companion over a person who has alot of gear know-how but I don't really vibe well with. Preferably, the assistant will have both awesomeness and gear knowledge. Shoutout to my buddy Carlos, who fills this dual role so well! If you're looking to get into assisting, show this companionship side in your meetings. But even if you're the coolest dude in school, it's real hard to me to hire you for shoots, cause if you don't know how to set up a 7B, or octabank, or the right way an arm should go off a c-stand (clockwise, so the knuckle self-tightens), or meter lights individually, etc, I'll be the one who's gotta do it. They way to get to know gear is to offer to come work for free as a 2nd or 3rd assist and acquire gear knowledge, or work in a rental shoppe. Then, photographers will be callin you!
Good lord, these...incredibly useful been...night…....
You're a photography student and want to make it out there? Here's a few tips…
A must read for all photographers starting out there! This photographer is awesome. Seriously. As a photographer and as...
Reblogging Jake Stangel because he has...ridiculous amount
Here's to the next stage in my life….and for fellow photography friends

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Grant Green drove in three runs, Mark Trumbo homered for the second straight day and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim put themselves in position for a series sweep after posting an 8-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday.
J.B. Shuck, Mike Trout and Chris Iannetta each added an RBI apiece to back a solid outing from Garrett Richards (6-6), who scattered two runs -- one earned -- on six hits and a walk over seven innings.
"I was able to pound the zone," said Richards. "My breaking ball came and I started getting ahead of hitters. I feel like I'm making strides, just keeping it simple."
Los Angeles ended a seven-game losing streak to Texas with Friday's 6-5 win, and will go for its first three-game sweep over the club in almost four years on Sunday.
The Rangers have dropped five of their last seven, with the recent skid placing them 1 1/2 games behind Oakland for lead in the AL West.
"You hate to go through this in September, but we're not going anywhere. We'll be around," said Texas manager Ron Washington.
Derek Holland (9-8) was tagged for eight runs -- four earned -- on eight hits over 5 2/3 frames.
Both teams scored in their first turns at the plate, but the Angels answered an RBI single from Adrian Beltre with a three-run inning.
Errors by the Texas infield helped propel LA's scoring, as J.B. Shuck reached after a throwing miscue from Holland and then coming home to score when Beltre threw away a grounder off the bat of Trout. Trumbo then sent the Angels in front with a two-run homer to center field.
The teams traded runs in the second, with Jurickson Profar knocking in a run with a two-out single, but Green countered with a sac fly in the home half for a 4-2 margin.
Erick Aybar reached with a leadoff double in the third, then came home to score on Iannetta's two-out single.
Texas than created a comfortable 8-2 advantage with a three-run sixth, with Green knocking in two with a double and Shuck bringing him in with a two- bagger of his own.
A.J. Pierzynski's homer to begin the top of the ninth accounted for the final margin.
