Don't worry, private equity is here to save the day.

Nothing has ever gone wrong when PE firms get involved and pitch themselves as the benevolent white knight solution to a problem.

Shaka right now must think he is behind the eight ball on many of these recruits if he keeps on offering new offers or he sees a better kid then who he has offered already, it will be interesting for sure!

Or Bayern

Shocked that Kompany’s name is coming up for the Bayern gig.

Yes his Burnley squad last year was an absolute monster, but it was a EPL level squad that got relegated and had substantial talent.  This year they stunk back in the EPL.  Yes they had lacking talent, but he was also stubborn in his tactics and tried to play how he did when he had the talent advantage in the Championship.

Plus, his time at Anderlecht was fine, good but not great.  Certainly not a feather in the cap of a potential Bayern appointment.  I honestly think it would be generous to be a front runner for the Brighton gig he was also named with…much less Bayern

I dont think this means we are missing on our top targets at all.  There is a good chance we are going to sign 4 in this class, throwing one additional offer out there to kid putting up huge numbers in AAU isnt crazy.

Plus, we dont even know if the offer is actually committable right now.  This could very well be a plan B offer where we wont bring him in for an OV until all of our top targets have made decisions, this "offer" could be to keep the kid interested just in case.

This……people like to make assumptions when this kind of thing happens without information or context. It could be Shaka just starting the relationship with a player he likes before others get in ………he might sign late……and we could easily have another spot open……..you just never want to assume anything so you keep working.

So...

Marquette, along with every other non-FBS school, will be subsidizing back NIL payments to FBS football players.

Dammit, that would have saved a lot of typing. Exactly this and with apologies, I'm going to quote you going forward because it's perfect.

Nothing good, either in a literal financial sense or in an overarching narrative sense.

Here's an example of what it will look like in practice.

Either you got very unlucky or spent a whol lot of money on improvements that didn't increase the value of your home. Because over that 28-year period, the housing price index in the Chicago market more than doubled.

Lens:

Much depends on where your house is, when you bought it and how much you have invested in it over the years.

Two years ago, we sold our home in NE Illinois. We owned it for 28 years and it was a very nice home. But it was and is in a part of the state where economic growth was sluggish. After factoring in capital improvements made on the house over that period, our capital gain was less than $1,000.

I could have done better in a passbook savings account.

Owning a home is more an emotional issue than an investment.
