    Top 5 new football coaches

    He is making $8.3 million this year. More than we ever paid Gundy. I do think we should call the Vanderbilt coach who is making just around $3 million.

    OSU vs Houston Official Game Thread

    My hot take: Walters threw the best balls we've seen since 2023. Hopefully we can see him when a defense is actually trying.

    OSU vs Arizona Official Game Thread

    I actually think he is approaching this the right way. He is really loose. He has opened up the whole playbook, he is pushing the guys to have fun with trick plays. We just aren't a talented team. The whole approach to the portal and scouting was a complete failure. We assembled a roster worthy...

    Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. Oregon

    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...

    Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. Oregon

    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...

    Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. Oregon

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

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    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...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    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...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    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.

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    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...

    Head Coach Steve Lutz

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

    Head Coach Steve Lutz

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

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    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...

    Conference Realignment - What's next?

    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...
