On3 Buys Rivals

[nja13]

people on InsideNebraska or HOL will be able to read everything in both networks, including message boards on both sites, with one subscription but will only be able to post on the board they subscribe to

Hmm. Wonder why they're letting Georgia post on both boards but not Nebraska. Must have been a decision by the local staffs.

It said it was contractual. I don't know if that was a provision in Zack's contract or Callahan's but given this is the only market with this situation, I'd bet it was in Callahan's. I am guessing when he was enticed away by Shannon he knew the vision of the future included acquisition at some point and he didn't want non-subscribers on his board. Or maybe he had a provision preventing a second site and this is a settlement of that until Zack's contract runs out. Just guessing (except it seems very likely it arose from Callahan's deal in some way).

You mean Sean is fucking everyone else over for his own benefit? I'm shocked.

Soooo by "giving" Rivals the high school recruiting beat when high school recruiting has never mattered less, they are basically just putting it out to pasture, right? Damn shame.

Not really. They bought Rivals and are integrating Rivals into On 3. They believe the Rivals brand, which they now own, has value within the HS recruiting space. They are not putting it out to pasture. They are deploying it where they think it has the most value. I think Terry has said the plan is to use that platform to expand into HS sports coverage. He thinks there is money to be made in HS sports coverage.

Will miss Zach if he leaves Nebraska. Good dude.

I think it's recognizing that Rivals still has more brand recognition in recuriting coverage than On3.
The way I see it, Rivals is getting the sweet end of the deal. While high school recruiting is less important because of the portal, I think it is still a draw for subscribers. People are going to stay with On3 for NIL coverage?
Not that the way they split it up matters a whole lot since subscribers will have access to both.

Yeah I was never dialed into recruiting, other than seeing headlines and checking in on signing day to see who we got, but now my interest in HS recruiting is 0 haha. Maybe other people still follow it enough to be a moneymaker though?

I still don't understand what "NIL Coverage" is.

Serious comment: it must be coverage of the 3rd party "true" NIL deals players will get, what is and isn't approved by Deloitte, comparable, etc. If the schools adopt principles consistent with House (even if House is not finalized), NIL will exist and these items will all be worthy of some news coverage. If House isn't adopted, there will be NIL, but the coverage will be more along the lines of covering the wild wild west

maybe, but will the Deloitte process be public knowledge? I'd assume that would be private information.

NIL Coverage = At least to me is nothing more than spreading rumors and guesses

Zack Carpenter pushed out the following yesterday. I'll definitely have curiosity about reading some of the posts over there.

I know some news has already been announced, but I wanted to (finally and formally) update you all on where things stand with the site/board. Cue up the Leo DiCaprio “Wolf of Wall Street” GIF.

We’re not leaving, and there won’t be a merger. IN and HOL will continue to have separate boards. We won’t have any changes to how we operate, and there’s no change to my ownership of the site + board. We’re going to continue running things as-is (i.e. independent from On3 as our own team site).

For all intents and purposes (or, I guess, most intents and purposes, as it were), we are continuing on as if there had not been an acquisition – with the notable exceptions that we will 1) have a different look to the site + board when we incorporate On3’s visuals + branding and 2) have access to the On3 database, resources, etc., beginning on July 1.

Everything will remain as-is visually until that tentative July 1 switch-over date.

As for subscriptions: A subscription with us will get you:
>> Full access to IN (obviously)
>> Read-only access to the full Rivals network (articles + message boards), which includes Rivals national content
>> Read-only access to the full On3 network (articles + message boards), which includes On3 national content + HOL content

In other words, if you have a subscription with us, you’ll be able to read their content + access their message boards but will be unable to post comments. That goes for everything in the On3 network, including national stories + message boards. I believe the leadership folks at On3 are working on putting together a deal/package/promo of some kind to get full access to articles + posting on boards for both sites. But that is TBD, and I’ll let you know the details if/when that happens.

In other news: I just celebrated my three-year anniversary last Sunday (June 1) of taking over as publisher here. (And I’m also celebrating Corina and I’s three-year anniversary today. YOU tell ME which one is more important. No wrong answers.)

Took me until June 3 to realize the three-year mark came on June 1. (Thankfully, I also realized on June 3 that my other three-year anniversary was on June 9 lol)

So!

Just wanted to say thank you for everything over the last three years – staying on and giving us a shot in 2022, or joining us for the first time at any point over the last three years, loving our content, criticizing our content, loving the way we run things, criticizing the way we do things, correcting my grammar errors (and any of my other errors). All of it has been extremely rewarding, and I’m happy we’re gonna be able to keep this thing going.

As an anniversary gift to me, all I ask is that we keep it nice and civil ITT and that you also shower myself and my team with overdramatic, over-the-top compliments and praise.

Show goes on!

I used to love to be the first to know Husker stuff. Now, I just prefer accurate information from people who are not conceited or full of themselves.

Zack's writing (and Steve and Tim) is sooo much better than Dean. The only thing Dean has is they put out so much content.
