  1. Pretty sure Sark was hired within a day of Herman being fired so I don't think that job posting time matters
  2. Gotcha. But how much are they making in their current PAC deal? I assume less than $30. And they know that number is jumping to $50+ in the future. edit: think I fuond the answer - they get $37mm total from the PAC-12 (TV and other stuff) and expect $45mm in year 1 of the Big 10. Then $62mm in a couple years. Big Ten: $62 million for Oregon and Washington if they join Big Ten? Analyzing the current conference distribution value in Pac 4 (sportskeeda.com)
  3. Is South Dakota Midwest lol? But yeah exactly my point - everything on there is Midwest or Northwest
  4. I think Deboer is from the midwest too. He might even like being in the Big 10. True for NIL but can't the extra money from the Big 10 TV deal easily pay for a big raise in his salary? Doesn't seem like you even need donors.
  5. You're assuming UW won't offer him a raise, which is definitely not true. ATM doesn't have to just beat his current salary, they have to beat whatever extension UW offers, plus pay a $12mm buyout. UW is also about to get that Big 10 TV money next year which could fund a new salary easily. Looking at other factors - ATM has a better recruiting base in TX and more NIL cash. But UW is objectively a more successful program with plenty of NIL potential in Seattle. Plus he'd be starting over with always brings risk. And personally, Deboer has always lived/worked in the Northwest/Midwest. His daughter is also committed to play softball at UW. So moving to College Station probably isn't too appealing. Now, I'm not saying there's a 0% chance, but it doesn't seem likely to me.
  6. Looch said on Twitter that Lanning is not happening. Lanning also very explicitly said it is not happening (unlike a lot of the deflections you hear from others). Also - would ATM boosters really fly up there (on a 737 no less) before Jimbo was announced, right before ATM's game Saturday, and right before Oregon's game vs USC? Btw - that might be where Oregon St flies out of too
  7. You talking about the original 9.95er stories or the Pete Thamel tweet that pumped the breaks?
  8. Has DeBoer shot it down or been ruled out? Haven't seen that. Although I have always thought he's a major longshot for multiple reasons.
  9. Quinn has a tough decision to make. On one hand, 2nd round picks still make a lot of money and theoretically he'd get to free agency sooner. And there is some risk in coming back. On the other hand, he should improve his draft stock if he comes back, at least on paper. He's only really had 2 years of college experience and that third typically makes a big difference. It's also interesting bc he originally thought he'd be eligible for the 2025 draft (before the last-second reclassification), so in a way it would just be back to the original plan. Plus, he wouldn't exactly be starving here at UT.
  10. Idk what to believe. I really didn't think QE would be back until these reports started coming out this week. But now the Ewers fam mouthpiece is throwing water on them. Probably will come down to NIL I guess
  11. I still think it'll be Elko. Makes sense for both sides. Imo jury is still out on him as a HC but he could be a good hire and would definitely be more affordable than other options. I still don't see why Lanning would leave and how ATM could afford him after the Jimbo buyout. Really surprised to see Kiffin #1 on those odds. He's already at $9mm/year which would be tough for ATM to afford. Plus Kiffin has been openly making fun of ATM non-stop the last two years. He even got caught calling Bryce Anderson a pussy during last year's game. Schumann and Traylor would likely take the job.
  12. I'm saying Athletics are part of the university btw in case that wasn't clear
  13. Bjork is a clown. He was the AD at Ole Miss for Hugh Freeze. He also pulled that stunt leaking the TX/OU SEC news at SEC Media Day.
  14. So $19mm from donors and $58mm from the university. Very wise spending as an "academic institution"
  15. Not a lawyer but yes, that is what it means. He's getting that money no matter what.
  16. Do you have a link to where he said that? Insane if true.
  17. You're right, I missed that extension. And Oregon will probably offer him another raise given how they've done this year. So yeah ATM would have to offer that and pay his $20mm buyout.
  18. Is this legit / have you seen a reliable report on this? If so that's truly unacceptable as a state taxpayer.
  19. He's also an Oregon St alum so he'd maybe turn both down and stay put
  20. The SEC basically already does that. Look at the directional schools they all play this weekend.
  21. Interesting. Gundy is the lowest-paid on that list at $7.6mm. For comparison, Norvell is at $7.3mm, Lanning at $6.6mm plus a $20mm buyout, and both undoubtedly in line for raises from their current schools given how this year has gone. Daboer is below $5mm, but again, UW will up that a bunch so the number to beat is certainly much higher.
  22. Did Barron get hurt against TCU? Was wondering why Guilbeau was in so much at the end
  23. I didn't realize Lanning has a $20mm buyout. So to get him ATM would have to pay that and then likely give him a long-term salary of $9mm. All after paying Jimbo $76mm to go away (plus more for assistants). No university should be spending that much on a sport.
