A couple hours from his hometown in Jacksonville, Tebow will "use his expertise and relationships across the state to boost the firm, which recently launched its first venture fund (GOVO Fund I) focusing on early-stage companies involved with government entities and government regulations," according to Sportico.

For all intents and purposes college basketball's 2024 transfer season is over although some schools could still add one or two more players prior to tipping off in November. However, in this age of highly paid transfers, many coaches could opt for quality over quantity, meaning they'll concentrate their NIL funds on several elite transfer prospects rather than scatter those finite moneys over more marginal prospects in an attempt to fill all 13 scholarship spots. They may prefer to roll the dice on injury and other attrition with nine or 10 scholarship players. Texas Tech, incidentally, has filled only 11 scholarship positions as of this writing and could stand pat. This is a calculated risk Grant McCasland and other coaches may be willing to run.

62 as in… the Mississippi State-listed 62 games played by Austin Williams. The wide receiver was active for five full seasons and participated in every varsity contest possible those years save one. Maybe, more on this in a moment. And, this does not even include the redshirt season which Williams did not see the field at all. Had the four-game allowance been utilized as a 2017 Williams would have pushed that mark even further beyond future reach, barring changes to NCAA eligibility policies. Or the outright end of such, but that's another subject entirely.
