  1. I doubt it. I think guys like Richard Justice, Kirk Bohls, etc. would be ready with articles every time Texas lost talking about how we fired a successful elite eight coach ... likely insinuating if not stating it was because of nefarious reasons.
  2. They could have settled the case, but it would not have mattered. They would just need to settle every time the issue of eligibility restrictions came up. Maybe it's better to have a rule in place and just grant everyone who challenges them an exception, but it's probably better to just rip the bandaid off. None of the eligibility restrictions are going to be legal under antitrust laws unless and until they let the players unionize and agree to the restrictions in collective bargaining (or unless they are able to convince Congress to basically except the NCAA from all antistrut laws).
  3. Yes - He's been to the sweet sixteen 3/9 years at Tennessee and won at least one conference game in 5/9 years. It's pretty similar to what he was doing at Texas - and definitely worse than he did in his first 9 years at Texas.
  4. The Shaka thing is the only one that is weird to me. He had success before here and after here, but was pretty terrible here. Although a lot of that was losing in the tournament, which can be a bit random. Rick Barnes - It's really hard to maintain a really high level of success over a long period of time, and I think Barnes at Texas had gotten a bit stale. Plus, there were some bad losses in the tournament that likely doomed him. He also has not exactly been tearing it up in the tournament except for last year: Beard - I mean, I'm pretty sure that one did not have much to do with the Texas job. He was likely going to have success here, but after the arrest and the statements by his attorney, Texas did not have much of a choice but to fire him.
  5. My toddler used to call of his figurines (little people, lego, etc.) guy. For example: "where is my blue guy" "I need Batman guy" "Give me that guy" (pointing to Princess Peach). I am not sure if that affects the rankings, but it always made me laugh.
  6. It's more money, at least for now. I do wonder whether the MAC will let them keep all of their other sports in the MAC if they take football out? I do not see why they would.
  7. Neither ABC nor Fox/CBS/NBC want to put the SEC and Big Ten championships on at the same time. I think the SEC championship has generally been at 3:30 because that is when CBS had the SEC game of the week throughout the season.
  8. It would probably help if we didn't get a 10-15 yard penalty and end up with 3rd and 20 something every time. It would probably help if we didn't get a 10-15 yard penalty and end up with 3rd and 20 something every time.
  9. States fighting back against limiting collectives and boosters.
  10. I know tOSU lost a 5 start recruit to Oregon and I think UGA and Bama lost at least one high four star recruit today.
  11. It definitely will embolden the strategy of promising NIL money to get kids on campus and then just not paying it, at least for G5 schools.
  12. Yeah - I cannot imagine he's going to switch to Texas with all that OU stuff, including what I am assuming is his mom wearing an OU shirt.
  13. Obviously from watching Venables' electric offenses the last couple of years.
  14. Each commit has an actual value, so while the start system makes it look like all four stars are the same, the class ranking is based on the recruit's actual ranking value, which can vary quite a bit even within each star level.
  15. What? Scholarship limits may technically be gone soon, but they are being replaced with roster limits.
  16. LOL. I know there was a lot happening behind the scenes, but if you do not follow recruiting minute by minute, it just looks like he committed a few weeks ago and signed on the first day of signing day.
