Bill Belichick not being in the Hall of Fame right now isn’t confusing. His record without Tom Brady is losing. His playoff record without Tom Brady is losing. New England declined every year once Brady left. Other coaches have won Super Bowls without Hall of Fame quarterbacks. When you remove Brady from the equation, the results speak for themselves.

Then I shift to the Duke NIL lawsuit and why it was such a bad look. Duke didn’t resolve this quietly. They sued their player publicly. I break down what NIL contracts actually control and why that level of control should alarm people. When a school owns your name, image, likeness, persona, jersey number, and signature, the question becomes simple: what part of the athlete is actually theirs?

This is about NIL moving from opportunity to ownership, about institutions using legal power to restrict movement and labor, and about how college sports now operates like a professional system without professional rights.
