WHEW. Things got heated on Tuesday when Doug Gottlieb — who is the head men’s basketball coach at Green Bay while still hosting on radio — questioned the reporting of ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Schefter reported that Sacramento State is “in discussions” to hire Michael Vick as its head coach, with “over $50 million in NIL” to help its efforts.
Gottlieb responded with this: “Jeezus Shefty, edit what agents tell you… 0.0% chance Sac State has $50m in NIL.”
Schefter replied with more reporting, along with this: “And Jeezus, Doug. A seven-game losing steak and last place in the Horizon League? Less time on social media and more time in the gym.”
OUCH.

The SAC-12 leading the schools NIL efforts already announced it has reached its initial goal of raising $50 million in NIL funds to strengthen the school’s case for an invitation to the PAC-12 or Mountain West conference.
