What kind of stadium drunk are you?

Hello! Welcome to Thursday’s FOIAbites. If you’re coming from your email, feel free to skip this intro.

If you’re coming from the web, this post is for our paid subscribers. If you aren’t one, I wrote a whole post about why I think you should subscribe. You can read it here. The short version is I think we’re building something really cool, the kind of college sports coverage that isn’t happening anywhere else.

It’s fun, it’s absurd, it’s revealing, it’s damning. It offers a truly unique, behind-the-scenes look into a world that wants to be opaque. In the past few days, we’ve blown up the math behind Sacramento State’s absurd valuation and showed you confidential details about how Deloitte’s NIL Go platform operates. 

Those are scoops you can’t get anywhere else. And they are stories that are only offered to everyone for free because people are paying to support FOIAball.

You can be part of this community, helping build the foundation of what I think is truly one of the most inventive publications in a media landscape where everything feels the same. It’s only a few bucks a month.

And if you pay today, you get to watch the absurd videos used to train alcohol enforcement staff at college football games.  

I got kicked out of a Virginia Tech game in September 2007 for drinking. Except I wasn’t drinking. And the police officer who escorted me to the exit agreed I wasn’t in the wrong.
