    Now you've got parents trying to be agents, you've got the homeboys trying to be agents, you've got the friends trying to be agents. 

    We all know this isn't a new development. It's just gotten a helluva lot more expensive now that it's over-the-table.

    I mean he’s proving the point of what’s broken, he’s purchasing players within the current wild west landscape. I absolutely hate that we’ll have to compete with that going forward but how can anyone criticize someone buying players for his alma mater when it’s completely legal? The article was tldr but I did browse and his primary proposal is that media rights be pooled instead of sold by conference. I think it would broaden the overall pie significantly. I would assume distributions would be based on ratings though so the more popular programs still end up way ahead. At least that’s a valid metric.

    Yes, let's attempt to go back to the time when the NCAA pooled all TV rights.

    An antitrust ruling broke up the NCAA's monopoly back in the day. 0u was at the forefront of that lawsuit way back in 1984

    I've got two beautiful kelly green and gold A's jerseys in my closet that I've barely worn for a couple years. Thanks John Fisher.

    How long before A's ownership changes their colors to some combination of black, silver, and/or gold?

    Vegas, baby!

    A plain logo is just fine. It's obviously perfect for Texas. It's only when the letter is the nickname - the Bengals are the only pro team I can think that does that off the top of my head. The A's sort of do, but they're cool and vintage.

    Plus, the Athletics have moved around a lot. Philadelphia -> Kansas City -> Oakland -> Sacramento -> Las Vegas. The A's KC ensembles were their best, IMO, bc they repped their hometown on their caps. Awesome, unique color palette, courtesy of Charles O. Finley.

    Next year they add UC-Davis (non fb for now) and Northern Illinois (fb only).

    NMSU and Sac State are still available, plus they might be interested in Cal Poly as well.

    Too many FCS and D2 options are trying to move up. Dilutes the overall FBS strength to accommodate programs without the fan base and resources.

  6. Good to see Auburn football will look the same no matter who is sewing their duds.

    Nike outsources their custom uniforms to other manufacturers, anyway. So does Under Armour.

    GTs dark alts are the definition of GFGS. Where is the blue that is actually in their brand kit?

    I will never understand why Miami insists on this nonsense and left FIU the vice alts. 

    I think FIU's "Vice U" alts were gaudy, but okay for a one-off. It fits Miami's art deco culture & beach vibe and will sell merchandise. I don't know WTF grey does for anyone.

    FIU Football's New Vice U Uniform ...

    Agree that GaTech should've gone with NAVY as an alternate uniform bc it's a primary color. "Grey Matter" is an approved secondary color, though.

    Black is fierce!

  9. If Charlotte is the "gold standard" why did they remove that color from their home & away uniforms? Bricks on the helmet stripe look stupid, but whatever. "Brick by brick"

  10. Cincinnati's new jerseys have a custom "Speed Block" numbers font, which is okay. Nike's marketing team must think they're getting paid by the word for their promos. Overdesigned?

    To echo my earlier point, I thought these were pretty good as a one-off. They kept it simple and only used the dark grey.

    Miles away from that over styled Arena League shit

    Yeah, that one is much better than the Vols' latest iteration. I'm just not a fan of grey, dark or light. "Anthracite" in Nike marketing jargon.
