  1. Well he basically just dropped 4 of the 5 newest P5 members, keeping BYU. SMU, UH, UCF, Cincinnati are out in his list. Find it hard to justify Wake Forest, however.
  2. https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-oregon-state-washington-state-working-on-agreement-with-wcc-for-non-football-sports-195102049.html 2Pac looking to affiliate with WCC on basketball and several non-revs. They have a deal with the MWC for football only.
  3. https://footballscoop.com/news/ucla-coach-chip-kellys-radical-college-football-plan Think the horse is out of the barn with Big 10 and SEC expansion and mega-contracts, but this is Chip Kelly's proposal to partly put the Genie back in the bottle. 4 sixteen team regional conferences each with 8 team divisions in one TV contract but in a separation from the rest of FBS who would be in a separate 4X16 group and TV contract.
  4. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39150367/florida-state-discussing-future-acc-following-cfp-snub FSU seriously looking at their options. This report is from Pete Thamel and ESPN.
  5. We got our hotel room in the quarter pretty cheap a couple weeks ago, but they went way up the next day. Driving in from Houston as we waited too long for reasonable air fare. Haven't gotten tickets yet. Kind of waiting to see.
  6. I'm tempted to give you a neg for not showing the bonus feature.
  7. https://www.sfgate.com/collegesports/article/pac-12-death-date-networks-layoffs-san-ramon-18554440.php So Pac 12 network dies a couple days before the LHN. Everyone laid off by June 28.
  8. aggy is still Texan. They are like the obnoxious cousin who got sucked into a cult. You feel sorry for them and don't want them around, but not so much hate.
  9. No, that would have to be an Xer. aggy won 3 gains against us in the 35 years after they won their MNC in 1939. DKR was told one thing when he was hired. "Beat OU!"
  10. Well 8 SWC schools, OU, Okie St., Nebraska. I don't know who was on the list, but I get to 11 pretty quick.
  11. Most long time SEC fans don't really consider aggy, pig or Mizzou part of the SEC.
  12. Georgia hates Florida, Auburn and Georgia Tech the way we hate OU. And Tennessee, South Carolina and Clemson (when they play them) are pretty solid rivalries as well.
  13. When I was in school it was Land thieves Pig 7-11 thieves A&M The pooooor aggys had been bad for so long, they weren't in the top 3. At least Cougar High was competitive.
  14. "...The most important questions for fans: Who’s in The Club? Membership in the new division is murky. How many can afford it? That number is probably 30-50 universities, industry experts contend. How many will afford it? Maybe that number is higher, as programs scratch to avoid being left out. Twice during his speaking engagement Wednesday, Baker mentioned 100 universities. FBS is at 133. The Power Four is at 69. “Most of the schools in the autonomy conferences will feel that’s something they want to do,” Livingstone said...." Interesting that the Baylor president is considered one of the more powerful people.
  15. https://sports.yahoo.com/how-will-we-pay-for-this--college-leaders-react-to-ncaas-new-subdivision-proposal-165436131.html Dellenger talked to some movers and shakers on their reaction. "...While plenty of questions go unanswered about the model, Baker answered a few during his time on the dais Wednesday. In the most important reveal, the NCAA needs congressional assistance to make his proposal work. Baker is asking for a “little” antitrust exemption as well as protection from college athletes being deemed employees. Why drop his proposal now without congressional legislation needed to codify such? Maybe it’s a way to show Congress how serious the NCAA is to change. Or maybe Congress is well on its way to passing that legislation. “Does he know something we don’t?” asks one athletic director. “If not, we are going to get sued again.” To be sure, the congressional wheels are turning. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) and their staffs are making progress on federal legislation, U.S. Senate aides tell Yahoo Sports. There seems to be a compromise on at least one important subject: addressing employment. Discussion continues on granting the association at least a narrow legal protection...."

    2023 Heisman

    It actually used to be for the best player. Now its for the best QB on a top 10 team.
  17. https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-proposing-new-college-athletics-subdivision-rooted-in-direct-athlete-compensation-145051537.html Big realignment stimulator. "Of the many recent changes in college athletics, the most transformative — and revolutionary — may be on the way. NCAA president Charlie Baker is planning to introduce this week a proposal to create a new subdivision within Division I that grants certain schools more autonomy around policy-making and permits them to compensate athletes in a new and profound way. In a letter sent to Division I members, and obtained by Yahoo Sports, Baker outlines a groundbreaking and radical change to the NCAA Division I athletics model, describing it as a “new forward-looking framework.” According to Baker’s proposal, schools that choose to be part of the new subdivision — they can opt in or out — are required to meet a strict minimum standard rooted in athlete investment....
  18. Bunchner entered the portal again---for lacrosse! He wants to be a lacrosse player. He was apparently one of the top lacrosse players in the country in HS as well as football.
  19. I see Texas is off the next 11 days, so he has some time.
  20. Yeah. It would be hard for him to stay. He has to be real busy at Nevada the next two weeks until signing day.
  21. I calculated a 6/6 model playoff from 1998-2023. Roughly it came out to 4 SEC teams, 3 Big 10 teams, 4 between the ACC/Big12 and Notre Dame and 1 other. Obviously the new lineups and schedules and move to 5/7 w/o a Pac would have an impact, but with that caveat, here's how the 2024 conference lineups fared over those 26 years: SEC 103 teams, 3.96 per year Big 10 88 teams, 3.38 per year ACC 49 teams, 1.88 per year Big 12 46 teams, 1.77 per year Notre Dame 9, 0.35 per year MWC 9, 0.35 per year 2 Pac 2, 0.08 per year AAC 2, 0.08 per year MAC 2, 0.08 per year CUSA 1, 0.04 per year Sun Belt 1, 0.04 per year
  22. We got the shaft in 2008. So I can't help feeling for FSU. The BCS/Committee has frequently done it to Southwest teams. Texas in 2008, Okie St. in 2011, TCU in 2014. Either Bama should have been left out, or they leave out Washington for Georgia.
  23. I don't know what they would have done. FSU looked really, really bad. So did Louisville. Plummer made Case McCoy look like an All-American.
  24. I think anyone who chants SEC-SEC-SEC after we join the conference should lose season ticket privileges.
