Texas Longhorns highly successful recruiting; Janikowski's record deal with Raiders; Illinois commits violation by wearing ESPN GameDay shirts?; NFLPA says league violated CBA terms regarding supplemental revenue sharing
February 17, 2010
As reported in yesterday's SLT blog, the Texas Longhorns feel that they have been singled out, to their disadvantage, under a new NCAA rule that places an assistant coach who has been "publicly designated" as head coach under the same recruiting restrictions as an assistant coach. Well, according to the link below, Texas is doing all right recruiting, just the same.

NFLPA: NFL did not share as much supplemental revenue with lower-income teams as the CBA requires
The NFL Players Association's outside counsel, Jeffrey Kessler, said, "The NFLPA is filing this new proceeding because it has discovered that the NFL did not provide its lower-revenue clubs with all of the supplemental revenue sharing that was promised in the CBA for the years 2006-08. Such funds are important to insure that the lower-revenue teams can field competitive teams, offer competitive salaries and provide their fans with hope for success on the field each NFL season."
