John Rhys Plumlee isn’t concerned with the amount of NIL dough that is hitting his bank account each month. Central Florida’s 22-year-old starting quarterback pulled a Tom Brady upon arrival in Orlando.
NIL is the heartbeat of college football in the modern era. Although money isn’t everything, it has always played a role in recruiting and that role is only inflated with the current rules.
Amateurism is completely out of the window. Players are going to the school that can pay them the most. Not all of them, but some of them– if not most of them.

Jaylen Waddle is one of the most important players in the NFL whose role seems to fly under the radar. With Tyreek Hill getting most of the attention on Miami’s offense, the third-year receiver has the opportunity to feast on mismatches on the second level.
Waddle has had 1,000+ yard seasons in each of his first two years in the league and is poised to be equally as crucial for the Dolphins this fall as Mike McDaniel’s team hopes to take the next step in the AFC East and beyond. There is a lot of excitement around the group in South Beach, especially if Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy.

Florida baseball star Jac Caglianone was putting on a show during Game 3 of the Men’s College World Series.
Caglianone, who was pitching in Monday’s game but also plays first base and was the NCAA’s leader in home runs this season, delivered a devastating strikeout against LSU first baseman Tre Morgan to record the final out of the top of the first inning.
Caglianone’s fastball clocked in at 99 mph and was high and inside on Morgan, forcing an awkward swing from the left-handed batter who fell to the floor after whiffing on the pitch.
Anyone who came up in a household with steep cable bills figured they’d never commit the same mistake.
Then came the Age of Streaming: an all-out war between companies to keep their content exclusive, which makes the slate of digital content as expensive or more than the cable days.
From YouTube TV to NFL Sunday Ticket, streaming no longer costs an arm and a leg but also a pair of kidneys and a lung.

Tennessee football held many of its top prospects on campus in Knoxville over the weekend. Fall camp is a few weeks away and the recruiting dead period began Monday, which led programs across the country to capitalize on their last opportunity to host recruits before the season gets underway.

The Men’s College World Series comes down to Game 3 Monday
Game 3 – LSU 6, Florida 2 In progress, Top 2nd (LSU batting)
Top 2nd – LSU has something cooking here in the 2nd. Gavin Dugas led off with a walk, and Brayden Jobert singles to left to give the Tigers runners at the corners. Jordan Thompson steps in, who has been struggling both in the field and at the plate, but he receives a huge ovation from the LSU fans.
And he comes throw, as a single to left plates Dugas. It is just Thompson’s second hit of the MCWS.
Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger kick off the podcast discussing the news of the IARP finishing their investigation of former LSU men’s basketball coach Will Wade.

Rocco’s says, “Give me your fanatical, your rich and poor, your huddled masses before football season, yearning to breathe free of humidity and drink Jell-O.”
And lots of it.
