More sanity coming out of the UW QB fiasco! Guy signs his deal with UW, announces he’s transferring, school says you’re under contract and we’ll come after you AND your new school for the $$$. QB changes his mind and will stay at UW. So the situation begs the obvious question: why did he...

This is a noble intention, but as I’ve pointed out repeatedly, Tulane will not get the benefit of scheduling that game and losing to a good opponent, whereas Mizzou, Tenn or Vanderbilt will. Think I’m crazy? Mizzou and Tenn haven’t beaten any SEC team with a winning record. Absolute best...

This is the new ‘average’ in terms of hiring/transfers. You’d have to be really concerned if they’re weren’t a lot of players following the coach

Oh I don’t doubt it. Having said that, this season has also been one that’s shown the light on the middle of the SEC-which helps considerably in terms of opinion and the direction of playoff seeding. To hear him actually voice any weakness in the SEC teams is notable. He’s actually seeing...

The student fee is the one I mentioned

That would be a change in osu’s budget structure that existed for decades if correct. In looking at what’s posted for the’24-25 OSU system budget, I dont find athletics anywhere. Budget breakdown shows Big 12 $$$ accounts for over 40% of revenue, and over 55% from ticket sales, donations...

Fwiw Bama had one of the UNT transfers starting on OL

Thanks for sharing. Without the time right now to watch it, I am curious about IU’s financial structure vs OSU’s. It’s been a few years since I worked on campus but athletics and residential life were considered auxiliary departments to the university and did not receive their funding from the...

Next Xmas has come early with the 4 teams that are left! Would’ve been even better if Tech had won, but no UGA, no tOSU, & Bama getting blown out yet again. I’ve railed against the preseason polls and how they shape perceptions. This season 10 of the top 25 wound up unranked, 5 from the top 10...

The amount is great and all, if accurate, but I feel like the new staff couldn’t suck as bad at evaluating players if they tried. No amount of $$& was going to drag a dinosaur into modern times.

That argument was widely made, though, when TCU got blown out by Georgia, despite them beating Michigan.
