#6 and #8 weaksauce imo.

Penn St. and WVa is a rivalry that isnt except for bootleggers in Wva.
Tennesse and NC St... really now...

I knew it was far but had no idea we beat teams like Wyoming.

But this would be a big deal if it were 1950. I mean, USC is now in the same conference as Rutgers.

I like Van Gundy.
I went to Austin when UT with Casey Thompson as our QB in 2021. We were winning at half time but Van Gundy just knew he was the better team and just ground us down. He ran the ball, attacked on D, took no real risks and just beat us soundly which one would not know from the score. Van Gundy knew exactly how to win. This is why I miss some of the Big 12 coaches. They were not necessarily more talented with an entire team but they knew how to get the best out of their team against us. They schemed wonderfully to beat us. Really innovative coaches in the Big 12 that put us in our place. This made our leaving the Big 12 with a title very sweet.

But the hair...? This man is very interesting. Leach like in his own way.

He can’t leave any bar in a short amount of time with that hair.
And He is slamming 2 out of 4 beers onto his scalp.

It fits the commissioner’s MMA advertising theme.
Only thing is it’s a short term deal imo.
Colorado has a tough schedule in the Big 12.

[pgardn]

1811107918722330950

Deon wanted it that way and he got it.
You want Primetime you got it. Just win now.

[Blake]

Not just short term. Colorado might have been able to hold out to move to the Big 10. I think prime or no prime, I think they were more important than the other 4 corner schools.

[pgardn]

Not just short term. Colorado might have been able to hold out to move to the Big 10. I think prime or no prime, I think they were more important than the other 4 corner schools.

Short term coach imo.
As far as how all the moving conferences plays out, I have no idea.
Imo opinion I see Fla St., Clemson moving. I just dont know where for sure.
If this happens, the ACC does what?
Notre Dame being forced to move? Or they make an example of playing an easy schedule of their choosing every year and get into the expanded playoffs every year.
ND is a true National brand. We still got the wild west going on imo.

[Blake]

Not sure why the SEC doesn't want Clemson and Fla St. And they don't want the ACC or Big12. Funny situation.

[Blake]

1810936697535807750

[Blake]

That would be huge for the big 12 media deals

[Blake]

"....And it won't end there. The talk is the B12 will take six from the ACC."

The Big 12's foray into private equity could lead to a massive financial windfall for the conference that'd help facilitate the ACC's biggest brands, which besides FSU and Clemson could include Miami, Louisville, UNC, and Duke, making way to a conference on the rise..."

https://glorycolorado.com/posts/fsu-clemson-four-other-acc-schools-join-big-12-stunning-development

This would be cool.
However, getting into private equity can make the schools beholden to the investors and not the big alumni (some of whom are very kind to the school with their money)
Maybe it is being done through investors who are the "big" alumni. This could theoretically lead to investors making the coaching decisions. (Which who knows, could be more systematic. Or it might just be the same people who hold the money but rely on the deeper knowledge of ADs, coaches and other more knowledgeable or prejudice folks)

In any event this is getting wilder which makes it more fun to follow.

[Blake]

I could see the other 4 schools coming. Would definitely cement the conference down as the premier basketball conference.

I just think Clemson and FSU and maybe Miami are gonna hold out as best as they can for the SEC.

Damage payments
The plaintiffs in the House case are responsible for doling out damages. Included in Friday’s filing was a chart breaking down the categories of eligible athletes along with four different types of payouts they could be in line to receive.

According to the plaintiffs, about 19,000 power conference football players and men’s basketball players will be in line to receive an average of $91,000, with payments ranging from $15,000 to $280,000 just for what is referred to broadcast name, image and likeness.

Some of those same athletes could also be in line for tens of thousands of dollars more related to lost opportunities to earn NIL money while in college and what is deemed by the plaintiffs as pay-for-play. Plaintiffs’ lawyers say a few athletes will be eligible to receive upward of $1 million.....

Lol seriously. All Vanderbilt does is collect their SEC payout each year while the fans wear bags on their heads

I'll be disappointed if Texas doesn't put up 50 on them in October.

Without looking at his contract details, I don't know if Lea makes it through the year.

He's currently 9-27 going into Year 4 and coming off of a 2-10 season.

Piggy backing off of that, Texas has Vanderbilt, Florida and Arkansas on the back half of the schedule.

It'd be funny if they contributed to knocking off three SEC coaches in one season.

I think it's more likely than not that Napier and Pittman will be fired.

The staffs are so big, even at the smallest schools, you can just sneak right in there.
I wonder who he was disguised as on that staff. Or you just have to look "coachy"
And then, "nobody will recognize me?"

"Makeup! get the fk in here!"
