Adam Schefter vs. Doug Gottlieb is the sports activities beef the web by no means knew it wanted till Monday night time.
Within the blue nook, the king of NFL insiders, a person who will fortunately parrot something so long as you retain feeding him data, Mr. “Bruce Allen is my editor” himself … Adam Schefter.
Combating out of the crimson nook, the Mouth of Milwaukee, the person of 1,000 horrible takes, he’ll steal your coronary heart (and your bank card) … Doug Gottlieb.
Right here’s how this all went down. On Monday night time Schefter tweeted concerning the potential of Michael Vick turning into head coach of Sacramento State by saying the varsity had “$50M of NIL cash,” indicating that this made it a horny place to land.
Sacramento State is in discussions to rent former Professional-Bowl QB Mike Vick as its new head coach, per sources. Sacramento State plans to maneuver as much as FBS, is constructing a brand new stadium and has over $50 million in NIL. Sacramento State would construct an skilled teaching workers round Vick…

Clearly that is ridiculous. There isn’t any planet through which Sacramento State has over $50M of free money move accessible to throw into NIL. That’s greater than nearly all of Energy 4 faculties. In actual fact, there’s proof that the $50M is definitely over the following 10 years, which remains to be very spectacular for a faculty the scale of Sacramento State, however it’s nonetheless a deceptive technique to phrase this by Schefter.
Finally no person ought to actually care, however Doug Gottlieb determined to name out Schefty on it.
Usually Schefter is one to let water roll off a duck’s again, however not in the present day.
The SAC-12 main the faculties NIL efforts already introduced it has reached its preliminary aim of elevating $50 million in NIL funds to strengthen the varsity’s case for an invite to the PAC-12 or Mountain West convention.

Prepared for the haymaker? Schefter had it prepared …
This goes straight at Gottlieb’s ego. Inexperienced Bay made a giant splash by hiring Gottlieb to get their crew to the following stage after an 18-14 season in 2023-24, and to this point every little thing is off the rails. The Phoenixes are 2-10, six gamers transferred away, and so they’re dropping by 20+ factors frequently.
While you get dunked on this tough by Schefty all you are able to do is attempt to retreat along with your tail tucked between your legs.
Have to lift cash for a stadium, coaches, after which NIL. Saying it’s $50m in NIL is disingenuous.
