Anyone listen to Jay Williams’ take? Said the time of winning with freshmen is over due to people staying longer in school as a result of NIL. Will be interesting to see if Cal adapts again, as well as how other schools adjust

Also, Mandel reported (or speculated) via The Athletic, that ESPN might've had first right of refusal, which kept the price down. And for those hoping the games will be carried across other networks, ESPN reportedly has the options to sub-lease the broadcast rights to other networks

I'm no expert, but NYT did a study that highlighted how much revenue ESPN was receiving from cable subscribers who don't watch sports (I.e. non-sports viewers are highly subsidizing ESPN). I think ESPN receives around $10-$15 a month from you cable subscription. NYT concluded that ESPN would...

agreed, you'd think the TV networks would step in at some point (then again, they've kind of created this at the same time)

Looks like a whole other level. That being said, anecdotally, it seems like a lot of NYS high schools have at least started to venture into weight programs, but are 20-30 years behind the like of Ga, Texas, Florida, etc. programs. Not sure if that gap ever closes, but I can see the perceived...

I didn't listen to the podcast, but are they saying the "death penalty" has legs? I've read an opinion (I forget the source) that the NCAA will have to carefully navigate anything contesting NIL as people will quickly throw "antitrust" back at them, to which there is already precedent, as it...

I am saying, if the NCAA allows schools to donate directly, that opens up the opportunities for tax deductions. In the scenario that schools can donate directIy, if I donate $1M to the athletic department and the school uses it for NIL, I would still get my tax deduction. Even if the $1M isn’t...

What’s the difference between a linebacker, a coach or even a professor?

I believe the NCAA proposal would enable tax deductions since payment to athletes would be through the school

I think it has a lot of room to go up, unfortunately. I believe Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, and the likes have $50M+ in donations a year directly to the school, which significantly outweighs what is going to NIL today. If schools can eventually pay directly (which NCAA put forth), there is a...

Kingsbury is at USC as a QB coach (after getting fired as Cardinals HC), so no impact to the portal, but point taken

FWIW, Thamel thinks they both will not be serious candidates. He doesn't think Sark will leave Texas and thinks Burns won't hire Kiffen since he was fired from Alabama. Per Athlon Sports/college Gamdeday Podcast: "I don't think Steve Sarkisian would leave Texas, so that's why I did not put him...

I imagine there are a few other candidates higher on the list, but could see him at play if it doesn’t work out with them Prior to this announcement, I heard he was likely to stay in Oxford for a few more years. However, in an interview towards the end of the season, he did seem a little...

I don’t see Kirby leaving to go to Bama. Not sure what he would gain from it? Many aspects of what he has built at UGA are on par with what Saban built in Bama

Title IX is likely a big hurdle (not saying it won’t be solved for, just hear it’s a big hurdle to clear))

Wouldn’t be surprised if they light up the scoreboard. They want #2 in the polls (assuming Bama wins, etc.)

The would tell you they trail the big boys in terms of money, especially when compared to the school he is transferring from

I had forgotten how much talent is in the PA/NJ area… until Fran Brown was hired

I couldn’t read the whole article, but from what I could read, is it the average power 5 team is spending $2-3M? I think I saw 100k per starter

Yep, and look at DJU as well. He turned his career around as well

Yes, I think there are 4 or 5 where he is highlighted This one was predominately positive on him and said no doubt has an elite arm when he has time: Ohio State QB Kyle McCord enters transfer portalOhio State QB Kyle McCord enters transfer portal. What’s next for Buckeyes? This one said he...

They didn’t disclose the coaches. Just cited defensive coordinators who went against them this year And the bold part is a double negative, so essentially say he would be an upgrade

I don’t think people are saying he is not good enough. I think some (including myself) are saying something could be going on where you have a former 5 star with not a lot of offers exit the portal

Week 2 has Texas at Michigan. Could see Gameday there, especially if it ends up being a rematch Week 4 looks somewhat light right now ok the SEC side. UCLA at LSU is probably most enticing If Kansas does get slated week 4, could be at option

Zeed has promise, but there is a chance he doesn’t see the field next year if he stays at UGA Granted, some thought McConkey would never see the field when he first came in, and look at him now

Fair, but would more go off the coaches commentary on him. Again, not saying he isn’t a viable upgrade

Not to say he isn’t an upgrade for Syracuse, but a lot of schools seem to be staying away from him for various reasons. The Athletic cited some coaches who were not high on his capabilities. The Athletics also doesn’t have him in the top 25 available transfers (4 other QBs are listed). Again...

Do you know if the players already know, or are some players playing for a spot in the bowl game (or a combination of both or neither)?

.

I don’t see anything wrong with that!

Army has 2 wins over FCS teams (and you can only count one), so the winner wasn’t guaranteed to be bowl eligible, but still valid point you make (I.e. most people would probably like to see a military academy get in over a 5-7 Minnesota)

Not that this is a primary reason for the NCAA’s recommendation of a separate division, but I’ve heard a lot of boosters have been pushing for schools to be able to pay. Boosters today do not get tax credit, nor credit in schools point system for tickets, since NIL doesn’t go thru the school...

I wonder if that’s driven by both coaches willing to use NIL “within reason” and some boosters from those schools (and others) still on the sidelines of NIL since they don’t get “credit” with NIL vs donation to school

No fault of the defense though. I believe they are a top 10 defense statistically speaking (edit: top 15 per a post above)

Aren't the values shown on On3 a hypothetical calculation (i.e. based on On3 own estimates, which heavily skew to social media followers) vs. what a player actually makes?

Not sure if posted before, but in relation to Robinson, Elko reportedly has an $11M pool for his staff (includes coaching, analyst, Ops, S&C, etc.). Not sure what Jimbo had. Edit: Appears Jimbo had $8M (I believe it is apples to apples comparison to Elko, i.e. includes staff/assistants, per...

Whoops you’re correct

The coordinators get around $2M??? (Brown is just a bit under $1M) I would assume SU is playing him more than that Kirby is noted to tell his coaches that there aren’t many places to coach so make sure it’s a job they really want….. or something to that tune In short, I don’t think they will...

This hire could go either way. Likely Brown has a lot of endorsements (e.g. Rhule) that say he is HC material At the same time, you can’t fault any fans for being hesitant as this would be an “outside the box” move hiring a guy primarily known as a recruiter. I quickly glanced at the top 247...

Thought I posted this earlier, but don’t see the post Could see him being released early since his primarily coaches CBs. Muschamp handles Safeties (or the other way around). Kirby also helps with the secondary

He primarily coaches cornerbacks. Muschamp coaches safeties. I believe Kirby helps in secondary as well

He came after the first (of the recent two) national championship

Neither do most Georgia fans

What the heck am I looking at, lol? Now I just want Oreo cookies

No, I don’t believe he would

Sorry, not saying he was interviewed or wasn’t. Was more saying it as if they interview him, then there are likely things that must’ve been appealing/make it look like he is HC material beyond what we can see I’ll fix my statement

They were right around there the year before he got there as well. The previous DB coach (also known for recruiting if I remember correctly???) went to be the DB/recruiter at Miami

I am getting the sense that outside of recruiting, there is not a lot known about him. If he does get an interview, the search committee knows/sees things that make him HC material

Not dismissing Brown, I would just look at him without the UGA credential. UGA is a recruiting factory

I think UGA has had an assistant (position coach) on the top 10 recruiting list for the past 10 years and Brown has only been at Georgia for 2 years
