None of us need another long A-11 thread, but I just want to point out that the author here is largely just covering himself. He wrote a rather infamous article called "A-11: The Next Big thing" (which, among other things, did not exhibit the understanding that it was illegal in college ball and therefore predicted its emergence there). Since it is illegal, it makes him look on the wrong side of the fence (to some extent), so it's no surprise to see him chime back in.
Stuff like this will trickle in for awhile. As it were, the A-11 has not (and will not) go with a bang, but with a whimper.
EDIT: I'm sorry, but I have to include this quote from the article (which is rather unbelievable, I must admit):
"The problem is that these concerns now seem both antiquated and exclusionary. This past college football season proved that the game has already evolved, and will continue to evolve (Bryan, in fact, recently returned from a clinic with a Pac-10 team), and while the NFL can be glacially slow to adapt, it will no doubt get there at its own pace (with or without Ronnie Brown).
Tell me if that bolded part doesn't make some people on here laugh. I'm sorry, low blow, but I can't help it.

I think there are a number of things interesting about the article.
1) The comment the KB goes out of his way for a good qoute
2) The tone of the interview as it goes on to say he was yelling
3) The comment about sharing and not sharing and being an a**hole for it. What they miss is they could share and not charge what the amount they did.
4) 1200.00 in royalties comment. The stuff has been out for just about a year and i am sure he and his partner split that income so I wonder if it is 2400.00 split 2 ways. While not great it is not bad money. It also came across as complainning about how much he was making.
You knew an article had to be coming since the first ESPN article. I would not be surprised if they are not hounding ESPN to get on OTLs or something to get more attention.
