Callahan and Sipp were saying it seems like HH is the clear #2 right now, FWIW.

Worth watching to the very end.

Thse college students were 9-11 years old 10 years ago.

I don't imagine it starts out with some company having an explicit goal towards a nefarious and obviously troubling use case. In terms of audio, a handful of years back Adobe was showing a demo of a new feature in which their new AI protocol could help you clean up audio from an interview, and even possibly add or replace words based off an algorithmically built voice profile of the recording. As a filmmaker, this has been awesome for me in certain jobs where I need to cut an edit down for time and a speaker isn't being concise or to the point, or stumbles over a word, or the audio isn't clean from background noise, etc. But there's no reality in which you can only have a tool used for positive and beneficial use cases without it being available for bad ones. Same with Chat GPT. I use it to help reword emails, come up with pitch deck points, re-order and reformat data values such as lists of names or email addresses, and it even writes code for me sometimes. All immensely helpful uses that have helped me professionally and creatively, but it comes with the inevitable downside of being used to cheat/lie or being used as evidence even though its conclusions are wrong, and so on.

I haven't heard about the format, but I do know that Rhule said it will be fairly vanilla.

Oh no, the grass will never recover from the violence. Some other gems in the replies from the OP:

Very cool.

Why do all of these so called champions of the free market turn around and act like little whiny b!^@h victims when the market forces decide that their products are s#!t? It's the same energy as kids playing in the cul de sac and the kid that makes up the new game keeps inventing new rules when he's not winning and then rage quits.

Has there been a single game all season on the reguular big ten network or any other non paywalled network? I've been fairly invested in keeping up with their success but refuse to pay for B1G+ and feel like I've never been able to watch.

This might (mostly) be the case now, but seemingly always wasn't so. SSO has had a series of relatively informed/insider accounts of the state of NIL over the last few years: https://herbieshangout.com/2023/12/22/nebraska-and-the-collective/ https://herbieshangout.com/2022/12/22/nil-reality-for-nebraska/ https://herbieshangout.com/2023/01/09/we-arent-getting-you-here-with-our-nil-bid-with-that-said-we-aint-losing-a-bidding-war/ Some highlights: The reality is the fact that Nebraska was probably closer to 50th in terms of what we were paying guys and how we were organized. Don’t forget, we grabbed Trey Palmer by telling him he would sell NFTs to our fans among other things: PRESENTING… Nebraska x Trey Palmer NFT. LIMITED quantities of these NFTs will be available for purchase beginning Saturday, April 9th at 12 PM CST until Sunday, April 17th https://t.co/IroV6Oktqe #PoweredByABM @treythekiid3 — Athlete Branding & Marketing (@_ABMusa_) April 8, 2022 That site can’t even be reached anymore. We did a little better grabbing guys like Ben Scott, Billy Kemp, and Jeff Sims the following year. But lost out bidding wars for guys like Walter Rouse to Oklahoma. Things just weren’t right. We needed a ton of help. 1890 Collective I apologize for the language, but it was a f#&%ing s#!t show for Nebraska and NIL collectives the first 2 years. Luckily we had some of Nebraska’s most powerful donors Tom and Shawn Peed decide to reach out and ask what they could do to help. With Matt Davison no longer in a football role with the University, and having a pretty extensive resume for fundraising in different capacities, it almost made too much sense for them to have him heading the efforts of 1890. After all, Matt had already been doing most of the heavy lifting for securing the funds for the new football facility. Him being an alum helped, as he was going to have to have conversations with players on what the football team can do for them. And by the way, if football doesn’t work out, look what playing for the team can do for you like it did for him. There was only one problem, Nebraska was trying to do it the way the NCAA intended it to be. We would talk to recruits and say “you can tweet about Runza” or other companies like that. “We have so much fan support here that as soon as you take off businesses will be lining up to get you in a commercial.” It made sense, there’s a ton of support for our beloved Cornhuskers. What Nebraska didn’t see coming was the fact that many schools were going to just give recruits money to sign. No need for the tweet or to spend time on a commercial, just ink your name and we are good. Want me to really blow your mind? So we figured out that we needed to pay people to just come here… and we did a great job at that shortly after. Casey Thompson commits and Trey Palmer comes on up with Mickey with a sweet NIL deal. Only one problem, we actually ran out of money. Don’t believe me? One of our top transfers was told he had to wait to sign for us to get the cash to him. It’s almost too crazy to believe, but i’ll add some more points to this to let you guys see just how far behind we were. We were scrambling to scrape up any booster donations we could get to add a few more pieces. According to On3 sports, Nebraska only had one player on the top 100 for NIL dollars, and that was Trey Palmer. You have schools like Illinois, Purdue, Minnesota, Northwestern, all with guys that according to On3 have higher NIL grades/deals than our top guy. Now, do I fully believe the valuations and those things on there? No, but they aren’t as far off as us being #3 18 months ago for NIL then finishing with the worst class since joining the conference. So again, either we are really good at NIL and just don’t promote that we are which would be the dumbest thing ever, or we just aren’t there yet.

I played in a bunch of intramural soccer games on that field. It's a hell of a time when it's nice and an absolutely hellish time when it's cold and windy.

What do we want? Primetime! When do we want it? Uh, at primetime!

Console video game sales are 70-80% digital, so I don't see how this could even be a thing.
