College athletes were unpaid for ~115 years before NIL!

The NCAA banned athlete compensation from its 1906 founding until July 2021, when a Supreme Court ruling opened the door to NIL deals. Top football rosters now cost $30M+, a seismic shift from a century of strict amateurism.

The Kansas-Missouri 'Border War' rivalry dates back to 1891!

One of college football's oldest rivalries, KU vs. Mizzou was suspended when Missouri joined the SEC in 2012 — ending a 120-year tradition. Their recent rekindling has reignited one of the sport's most historically charged matchups.
