I rarely see a point in early/midseason hirings unless something ethically unacceptable has occurred. Does firing him make anything better? Unless it means there is a huge donor who is willing to suddenly double or triple our NIL budget, I don't see how it does. Do we believe Meacham is...

Two first year NFL head coaches this season Mike MacDonald is at $9 million a year Ben Johnson is at $13 million a year

The best I could find estimated O'Neal's NFL earnings at under $20 million. Thomas looks to have been under $30 million. They put Sanders at a little under $34 million. And that is all pre-tax, agents, etc. A lot of money, but not enough to prop up an NIL program. We need several hundred...

I know South Florida in the American Conference spent $9 million this year, which means we are behind them.

Bedlam should be our Week 0 game every season, on-campus. We'd get a prime TV slot, we'd land Game Day some years, local and national media would talk about it. We had 1 true rivalry game, no matter how lopsided, and we've lost it. We talked a big game after the OUT news and said a bunch of...

ND will take them all to court for antitrust violations before they ever join a conference as a full member. As long as ND has direct access to the CFP they will be football independents, if that access closes, they will go to court. If the ACC collapses, they will move their non-FB sports back...

I'm not sold there are more than 3 teams the P2 will care about from the ACC, definitely not more than 4. I believe we are on shaky ground with NIL and need to have some great seasons leading up to 2030.

Nothing will happen immediately. There is still no real evidence that anyone in the ACC brings money to the table for the P2. Oregon/Wash had to accept reduced shares with the Pac-12 future ahead of them, FSU would be taking a pay cut with reduced shares. In a good season they'll be banking over...

Which ones? We couldn't afford those great teams Eddie and Sean put together today.

NIL all in on 2 draftable guys. Build around them the best you can with what's left.

That Sac State committee is official now with a couple of state politicians, CEOs, etc. https://sactownsports.com/ncaa-sacramento-state-football-pac-12-mountain-west-committee/ I think their attempt to push a PAC 12 narrative is to oversell and land in the rebuilt Mountain West. That makes...

I was reading on the Athletic that they are hoping for a media deal between $10-$12 million per school. There was also talk of them looking to shore up basketball by trying to go after Gonzaga and potentially Wichita State if they managed to get someone like Memphis. Other articles point to the...

I like the idea of creating a best-of-the-rest eastern division. 12 teams, divide them up the way the old Big 12 was and it cuts down on travel. I think you have to have at least 2 if not 3 Texas schools in it. So UTSA, UNT and maybe Texas State. Then Memphis, Tulane, and USF. Maybe FAU instead...

https://knightnewhousedata.org/fbs/mwc 2023 athletic expense numbers San Diego State - $96.6 million Colorado State - $64.4 million Boise State - $58.2 million Fresno State - $51.7 million San Jose State spent $44.5 million. I'd expect the new PAC 6 to make $50 million a minimum expected...

If the PAC 2 dissolved and merged into the MWC, OrSU & WSU would forfeit much of the leftover cash from PAC 12 and it would be distributed evenly among the former PAC 12 schools. They could've conducted a reverse merger, bringing the entire MWC into the PAC. The reasoning behind that is the PAC...
