The secret handshake and don't tell club has mastered the concept. Nothing left the inter circle. 100% positive.

I think there is a leak that causes the administration the enormous duty of fielding premature questions.

Seems this is a necessity simply to keep NIL in line without crossing NCAA rules, like performance based pay and such. Smart move.
