  1. this is why Kent State is Kent State
  2. really nice QB keeper for the TD
  3. that was a nice run....MAC After Dark!
  4. womp womp womp.....good game though
  5. that field goal looked like it was shot with a dove load from a 12 gauge on the way to the goal post
  6. these are pretty good games the BS/BG game is really trading scoring punches Akron had a pulse (for Akron) with Bowden, but they are terrible now....Kent has always been terrible except for a season or two every decade to decade and a half
  7. shit is is a damn blizzard all of the sudden at CMU.....the field went from having cleared spots and lines and hashes you could see to about a total whiteout in 10 minutes
  8. Harbaugh is lucky he is such a dumb ass otherwise no one would believe him that he is a big enough dumb ass to not know this cheating was going on
  9. CMU has a scoop and score reversed after a penalty of "batting" the ball into the end zone and NIU gets the ball back plus a 10 yard penalty and a first down 24-3 NIU and now NIU gets a big play to the CMU 32 Toledo up 14-7
  10. Texas needs to hire this guy to fire chris plodsky......special assistant to the AD in charge of cutting the fucking heads off of dead wood
  11. These games look cold as fuck CMU beating NIU 7-3 and Toledo thumping Buffalo 14-0
  12. they are going to hire a hybrid of Kliff Kingsbury and Case McCoy
  13. the law may have changed, but I do not believe it has and I thought that Texas State was at the $20 mark I am pretty sure that is what they moved it to when they voted to move to D1-A I agree is is not massive money, but it is per semester and every year so if you skip summer school you are looking at about $400 more a year X 4 years or $1,600 more....with summer school and the 5 year "plan" you can be looking at over $2,000 which as you say is not a lot in terms of the massive cost of higher ed now, but you have to start somewhere to keep the cost down and good luck getting rid of regular administrative bloat.....plus with the NIL now and the dorms, cafeterias, and training facilities for athletes regular students are starting to feel a disconnect....they are working hard for an education while being told those that play sports are getting "nothing".....other than a free education, free housing, free food, free medical care, some free cloths, a cool place to hang out, free tutoring.......and when you tell the regular students about all the "money athletes bring in" well some regular students are smart enough to ask "then why am I being charged for that I am just here to go to school" it is too difficult to look up all past legislation to see if there has been a change, but Texas and the THECB (who really has no power at all to actually enforce or stop anything) have done a poor job keeping the cost to regular students for athletics in check in 2022 UH spent $48,451,950 from the academic side with $8,513,075 in student approved fees and $39,938,875 just straight transferred......north Texas state $33,326,873 with $13,251,782 in student fees and $20,075,091 in transfers......UTSA $23,864,888 with $14,049,104 in fees and $9,815,784 in transfers......Texas State $27,402,513 total and $18,924,463 in fees and $8,478,050 in transfers so if you look at UH with about 48,000 students it is costing them on average $1,000 a year to fund athletics......UTSA $685.....with north Texas state in the past you could look at the increase in their direct transfers and their student to faculty ratio going up, their number of tenured and tenure track faculty decreasing, and the number of adjuncts and lecturers teaching classes and see a direct correlation
  14. honestly that is not as bad as it looks.....it was going to be a $1.50 increase per year for each of 5 years that adds up to a lot of cash for students......students were going to go from paying $480 to $660 a year and the reality that people ignore is UTSA (and others in Texas) transfer other academic side money in LARGE amounts besides the athletics fee and most students are not even aware of that......and in addition I am not even sure that fee increase was legal although the legislature and THECB ha done a poor job of regulating things.....there is suppose to be a $20 cap per credit hour (capped at 15 hours) for all public universities in Texas.....but as stated the G5 programs in Texas plus UH all break that by simply transferring additional academic side money anyway which is probably technically illegal and in the case of this UTSA fee unless there has been a change in the legislation it would be illegal to have a fee over $20 an hour right now UTSA is raising $500 million for the university and they have $380 of it at the half way point and $80 of the total $500 million goal is for athletics.....of course some of that will be in "life trust" hat will not actually show up until years later or it will be "software" or "services" or "equipment" and not cold hard cash, but they should be able to fund their athletics long term some other way besides more off the backs of students and academics or they need to rethink things.....plus they have better contributions from the city and county than any program in the state including Texas (possibly excluding aggy, but who knows what goes on in college station and who fucking cares) as for Traylor he is golden there and he is not going to jump to a dumpster fire just to jump and he should be able to compete in the AAC it is not like being Iowa State or Kansas in the Big 12
  15. I think there are still major issues that could arise between conferences and various media partners enticing or luring a program to break a contract to come to you is generally not legal and the conferences first obtain the money from the various sources (mostly media partners) and then distribute it so they have assets to go after.....and one media partner taking the content of another media company and profiting from that is an issue even i it was ESPN and the ACC and SEC SEC SEC that ESPN owns 100% of the content of the ACC can still make some claim of damages for ESPN breaking their conference apart or moving members.....the loss of home game revenues when bigger name programs are pulled away is a meaningful loss I think that is the main thing that is preventing this from happening.....the media companies do not want to be drug into this and accused of collusion and enticement and face the massive potential damages from that....which is why Texas and OU had to compensate Fox directly for the loss of a single years worth of games in addition there is simply the cost.....ESPN has the ACC for a good rate (really I think they have the SEC SEC SEC for WAY over paying and the ACC is about right), so why in the hell does ESPN want to face major legal actions and pay more just to move teams from one conference to another when they own the content already I think Fox, NBC, and CBS are happy with what they have and they are only going to take action if teams fall in their lap for the right price like with the PAC 12 and Big 10.....right place, right time, right price....clean break at the end of a contract and GOR and not even a conference exit fee to worry about
  16. I have no idea of the arrested person was responsible for the shooting and the article clearly does not say that they were.....but people need to keep in mind in Louisiana they have the "120 day felony" and that means they need to bring charges AND bring you to trial in 120 days that was a big issue in Houston and other places after Katrina people from Louisiana were doing serious crimes and laughing to the Texas police about a 4 month felony or a 120 day felony not knowing that Texas (and most other places) can hold you for a lot longer and not bring you to trial as long as they can show they are still gathering evidence again there is no indication other than what the current charges are, but in Louisiana if they can hold you on one thing while looking into other more serious things it can be beneficial to not start immediately stacking on more potential charges I would think if they were looking for others they would be letting the public know that there are others out there they need to watch out for or that would be a serious lack of concern for the general public
  17. it looks like you were cold and since you said your son was born in Louisiana it does beg the question.....your dad would also be his granddad right?.....or are they doing things "differently" there?
  18. he this dude wins the Heisman then Vince Young needs to hire Sergio Kindle to smash his Tahoe into the Downtown Athletic Club
  19. so that 4th down play was "run a curl right up behind the defender" 🤪
  20. yea two ASU field goals and it is tied up
  21. ASU coach looks like any random frat guy from mid level state U that is about to throw up from drinking too much
