June 07, 2025 FRAUD: House Settlement Approved, But Clearinghouse Will Be SUED!
The House Settlement case is finished! College athletic departments will pay athletes for their services. However, there’s the issue of the so-called Clearinghouse, to approve or disapprove of NIL deals, that must be discussed.
America is capitalistic society. A player is worth what a school, or collective, is will to pay that person. Look for lawsuits to start flying, and soon. I explain in today’s episode of The Portal Podcast!

June 06, 2025 Baylor Recruiting Hits CRITICAL Visit Weekend!
Baylor’s 2026 recruiting class hosts elite prospects like Shadarius Toodle, an Auburn commitment, and Vincent Johnson, a top-notch road grader from East Texas. Will Baylor’s recruiting class take a major step forward with big-time prospects in Waco?

June 05, 2025 Florida & Notre Dame Will Be BIG Recruiting WINNERS
From June & July, look for Notre Dame and Florida to be recruiting winners. Adding commitments from elite recruits, and keeping them away from several of their rivals. There are more winners to discuss, and some losers, too.
Wisconsin’s staff is on the hot seat, and recruiting at critical positions like defensive line and cornerback is not up to the par they need to be.
