How did Yogi not get relegated to the CW

Good post about the needs on the DL, but why are you so stuck on the house settlement? It will change nothing. The big boys will still be able to buy what they want and need. We need to do the same. No house settlement is going to drastically change things in our favor.

Has 6 🔗 in his Twitter bio, 4 of which go to old shit he did years ago that ngafa, and the other 2 are just broken.

Because a source told me that one of the reasons why Oregon had multiple decommits (including Kodi Greene) around the time it passed was because they couldn't just throw NIL money at players to buy them. The Clearinghouse and the fact that programs like UW are well-funded via Tyees (but don't reach Oregon / Ohio State levels of NIL money) helped the level things somewhat. I don't know if that is a fact but the timeline makes sense.
I'm sure in the actual reality is somewhere in the middle in that the House Settlement isn't the end all be all and Chun will still need to work harder to bring in more NIL but it does help a program like Washington somewhat.

Sources?
I don't think clinging to the Clearinghouse thing is a great idea. I assume if it's truly enforced you would just see the biggest spenders pivot back to backchannel payments. I do think Caple's podcast said a really high percentage of the proposed deals apparently so far have been denied, which I like. I'm all for players getting paid actual value but not a fake market inflated by a handful of boosters who drive everything up.
I also think it's naive to just say Clearinghouse etc is great for UW. Are you sure it's not just that UW is willing to overpay for guys like Green and DCB because they're local and that won out? Or, outbid UW-level programs for the guys we do get?

The Caple data point is a good one. I'm not sure about UW willing to overpay or not, hopefully we'll hear about that later.

The clearing house is apparently fine with the typical 5-7k bags that were rumored 10+ years ago in that story about the SEC.
You can just take whatever amount of money you want and divide it up and have our player take N pictures in front of Simply Seattle to get them all cleared, I'm assuming.
Or have Bo go serve N Chick-fil-A sandwiches, etc
