SIAP: Ranking the College Football Facilities

[Hornius Emeritus 12420]

Ranking college football's facilities.  Oregon number one.

There is no reason in Hell that Texas should not be continually in the top 5 in this ranking. At least we're ahead of the Sooners.

That’s a good looking OSU helmet in that article.

I’m surprised we are in the top 10. We don’t have near the commitment that A&M does and haven’t for at least a decade.

I think that's a generous ranking

We'll be fine once we replace the bubble.

It's all good.

Texas is always going to be somewhat limited by space considerations. Aggies can just go out to the back 40, tear down a mule shed, and build the 28 million dollar Gomer T. Justice football player massage parlor in its place.

Here's a thought: we build our players a ranch out in the Hill Country.  We fly them in via helicopter to school/practice every day.  The ranch accomodations are cleaned by licensed massage therapist coeds....

They took into account the flashy SEZ renovations.

Other than the fact that spending tens of millions on player facilities is a stupid investment now that you can funnel tens of millions to recruits instead.  

The facilities arms race is what economists call "non-price competition" that results from price ceilings.  Now that price ceilings have been removed with NIL legislation, there's no reason for non-price competition.

Your argument makes a lot of sense, the only hook i see right now tho is that kids can still get a fat bag on NSD1 and transfer 8 months later. They’ve got to figure something better than a wink and a hand shake when you’re giving 400k to a kid who’s never played a snap for you. Hell, for 400k i probably would’ve considered aggy too. Probably…

If that’s the case then it’s a 1 year problem that just passed, and we recruit from/into the portal going forward and still get the best 2-3 years of a player.

It seems like the portal is going to become a humongous part of the game, even more so than many of us estimated.
