Great info @HuskerGarrett. I know I have had my differences with Dean in the past but I definitely feel for him. He's worked hard building his brand. How's this for a crazy COnspiracy Theory? What if on3 knew of this issue and could be taking advantage of Dean's shoddy lawyer. They get Dean to move subscribers over but knowing that he wouldn't be able to fulfill his obligations running the site. Site becomes more valuable to sell to someone else if it already has a big subscriber base.

I’d bet there is more to this than any of us recognize.

He owns the K-State rivals site.

Got some sauce on that? I mean it makes sense considering that he described the issue as "non-Nebraska related publishing obligations," I've just never heard that.

 

[HuskerDocCo]

Dean is a know it all maroon. His cheap skate ass definitely picked the lower middle tier lawyer and called it a "splurge."

Karma finds it's way.

Karma finds a way because that bitch ass Deab and his comedy of “mods” banned me so many times this why tPB is here

No sauce. It’s been rumored for a while. The board has no publisher listed on rivals, just staff writer and recruiting analyst. It’s also called “KStateOnline” so it fits the “HuskerOnline” naming convention. It’s the only thing I can think of that explains dean’s current pickle.

It’s probably killing him not to be able to post about the various Ireland ticket packages available and to tell some kneeslappers about having one too many stouts there.

You never know. Business world is filled with weasels like that.

Conspiracy wouldn't work from the On3 point of view though because no one would buy a site that cheated to get subscribers like that. It's one thing to cheat to get 5,000 subscribers at $1 apiece.... It's quite another thing to have those subscribers come back and renew and renew year after year.

Any buyer would know that those 5,000 subscribers aren't likely to stick around. Most moved bc of Dean. If he's out of the equation then they're out. No one would pay money for a subscriber base built this way. It'd be kn incredibly weak footing.

Either Dean didn’t consult a lawyer in connection with this (bad idea), he ignored his lawyer (also bad idea) or his lawyer messed up royally - how do you move forward publicly when there’s any risk that Rivals actually has leverage here?

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Siap,

Sounds like rivals is bringing back Nate.

I am a consultant and this rule applies to everyone who bills their clients by the hour.

Don’t fucking look at me when you do the exact opposite of what I told you and shit starts falling apart all around you.

 

[Turn Down for What]

So a poster on On3 asked if they can move the $1 promo to Sep since that’s when Sean will join…I wonder if some other blue hair will come in and ask for two years of $1

I asked.

 

[lee_carvallo_12]

In the past I would describe his legal representation as (at minimum) decent.


That being said, a lawyer can only do so much when they have a loser client. (like Dean)

 

[cwessel76]

So far Zack Carpenter, their new publisher, has posted more to-the-minute recruiting info about this weekend’s visitors than Dean has posted about anything recruiting related in a year.

Sounds like no TT anymore either. Whatever they call themselves now is essentially useless without that. Wasn't even a Chat on Tuesday

I have friends who frequent the site that the new guy came from and reviews are not great

It’s on the new site.

Doesn’t matter anyway…….will be announced later today that the game has been moved to Vegas. All PB members will be given a $500 credit at Bellagios…….😎😍💰

TT can’t hold a candle to the Erection Update or whatever @HuskerGarrett calls it.

 

[Fargo Husker]

He owns the K-State rivals site. I bet that deal isn’t up until September 1. Gotta be it.

Wait…is this true?
