  1. I'm beginning to not like this "PK" fellow. Sounds like he (and his scheme fit) sucks.
  2. Parties to a contract have the freedom to renegotiate as they see fit. The requisite members of any given conference agreeing to let a member out is not technically "breaking" the contract in the sense that a departing member is not leaving in blatant violation of GOR and saying "sue me" (the exit is done with approval of the remaining members), and the GOR isn't torn up (it is continues to apply unaltered to the remaining members). And it's not an implicit agreement that the remaining members will give (or are obligated to give) the same deal to anyone else that wants to leave in the future. Won't derail the thread by continuing to harp on this subject, so will just agree to disagree with how we view these things. And corporate law is my 9-5, FWIW.
  3. That's not really how freedom of contract works. Just because parties are able to successfully renegotiate a contract does not mean that the similarly situated parties are obligated to do so in the future.
  4. Best guess is that it's the Old Cape Henry lighthouse in Norfolk, VA (his hometown), with an Ocean View Ave street sign above it.
  5. Not nearly as versed on realignment and the machinations of TV networks as many, but seems to me that "any new major channels" could stem from the streaming services not affiliated with the traditional giants (ESPN, Fox, NBC, etc.). For instance, wouldn't shock me to see Amazon swoop in at some point and add CFB to the Prime Video like they've done with the NFL. So many people already have (though seldom use) Prime Video just by virtue of getting Prime for regular Amazon purchases -- 150MM+ estimated members in America (roughly 6 of 10 American households), per quick Google search. Compare that to roughly 75MM domestic subscribers to ESPN's "big two" (ESPN and ESPN2). Add CFB to the mix of Amazon's live video offerings, and have to imagine that drives incremental subscriptions purely for that offering. End result being what I would consider a "new major channel" for CFB.
  6. Two weeks ago: "Don't care that sips got some DBs and Bama got Tony Mitchell. We just need one of Muhammad/Toviano and we're set." Now: "Muhammad is a JAG, don't really need or want him. Taviano is the prize." Not sure if I want Taviano more because he's a great player, or to see where the aggy narrative goes next if we were to commit to Texas. whynotboth.gif
  7. Even better, this rule was actually approved in January 2019 and made effective in August that year. I'm going to guess it didn't really come into play the last couple of summer because of Covid? Regardless, the rule has been on the books for three years! Hilarious that I could find it in ten minutes but aggy compliance was caught off guard (and their 9.95'ers are scrambling like headless chickens and having to confirm the situation with "sources"). It's literally a Google search away. Dumb fucks.
  8. Chad Simmons enters his prediction for Hale to Texas @ 1:13 p.m., followed by a On3 tweet/article @ 1:33 saying Hale told Simmons he knows where he is going. Very subtle, Chad. But that aside, dare I say....calculator? Or, maybe even:
  9. For those curious, confirmed that, with the exception of an August home game (which aggy does not have this year), CO '23 recruits cannot go on officials between June 27 and August 31, 2022. This is based on 13.6.2.1.5 of the NCAA Division I bylaws: Apologies in advance to @BurntOrange&White
  10. If GigEm247 uses the same admin system as my company, this guy's employee ID is AHAT. Which would be fitting.
  11. Full Howell "State of the Station" post for all of the fiends in the room, with all credit to Longhornfrenzy. Personal favorite is the Ashton Funk bit.
  12. Not sure I agree with the premise that I read you to be making — that a lowly sports message board user (much less one with the handle “derpyhorndog”) is going to draw the attention of some significant outlet/authority to anything nefarious that otherwise would have gone unnoticed — but cool, thanks again for BO&W’ing my genuine question.
  13. Yeah, don't you just hate when passionate fans are curious about the intricacies of a sport they follow year-round? Fun suckers, man. Appreciate you taking the time and space to provide such a helpful response!
  14. Question will make this obvious, but not very versed in NCAA restrictions re off-field coaches. Is GP (technically) allowed to provide on-field instruction?
