1. Goodwine is choosing Bama unless he a receives a larger offer

2. Daniels is choosing Miami unless he receives a larger offer 

3. Burris is choosing Aggy because OU told him they’d like to see him after his injury first (aka not commitable) 

4. Crownover is choosing Aggy because they gave his brother a scholarship 

5. Taleeq Robbins is choosing Aggy unless he receives a better offer.

TE to OT's can take a long time to materialize, especially if they don't know that they're moving to OT yet

A few more failed crossbar dunks and he'll get the memo. Schmitty is going to love this kid, all his best practices will be used and this kid fits the profile to just eat all of it.

This can’t be a real quote, can it? Holy shit that’s hilarious. aggy really is all in on the “we’ll pay you whatever you want and play you wherever you want, please just commit to us. We beg you!” recruiting strategy. They’re gonna have so much attrition every single year. 

On the very day he committed, he basically just said, “I’m committed to A&M right now but I don’t really what to go there and I’ll ditch them for a better offer in a second. “

It's legit. I just read the story in The Oklahoman. It's an article by the guy that covers high school sports for that paper. Besides the quote above, he later says in the story that OU called him and said "they filled up on commitments".

Someone should tell Susan that NBA players share is 50% of revenue.

NFL players get 48% of revenue.

MLB players get ~44% of revenue (this was in the high 50's in the early 2000's).

Asking for 50% isn't out of line with the pro sports leagues.

Those organizations are also not non profit

Ok.

The point is that Lucci seems to think its ridiculous to look at revenue as a starting point in negotiations - when in fact thats exactly what the pro sports leagues use.  You've have to be an idiot (or a bad hollywood agent) to structure your negotiations/contract around profit.

Ha, this is a great article by Tarp. Some prescient quotes. 

  Quote

"Based on our season ticket sales, all season ticket holders who have a ticket as of today would be accommodated in that plan, but we would have to reduce the number of students" said Bjork. "Normally we sell about 34,000 student tickets per season, all sports passes, but we would have to reduce that down. But right now, we would be able to accommodate all of our season ticket holders. And as big as Kyle Field is, the capacity is actually more than what the number of seats is with the concourses and the club spaces and the capacity gets to a little bit over 110,000 for spectators, even though we only have 102,733 seats. So our normal operating capacity gets us to a point where we have plenty of room to accommodate season ticket holders, and then we will have to reduce the student number."

Other college programs expect to have even more drastic cuts in attendance. Texas has stated that the school expects to operate its facility at 25% capacity for the 2020 football season.  Ohio State plans to cap its attendance at 20% of capacity for this year.

You have a similar look in the NFL where so far teams have either said that there will be no fans in attendance or that the number allowed in will barely reach five digits (with capacity in some instances based on local guidelines). Even the Dallas Cowboys (which are operating under the same attendance guidelines as A&M) have stated that season tickets will not be available in 2020 and that seating at AT&T Stadium will be "limited".

So what does A&M know that the NFL or other college teams don't? It's really hard to say.

Of course, face masks will be mandatory for attendees but how difficult will distancing be?  As an example, the New England Patriots made an announcement that “Ticketed parties will be asked to maintain physical distancing of at least six feet from other parties, tickets will be arranged in blocks of 10 seats or less, and the first eight rows of stadium seats will not be used".

In addition, Bjork noted that those college programs currently can't bring invite prospects for official until the end of August and that he expects this prohibition to be extended into the ball. 

Thus, if it's difficult to bring in a family of four to your campus, how is anyone going to be able to accommodate 50,000 people? 

Getting football back should be feasible given the safeguards that have been put in place and if everyone figures out what's at stake.

Anything beyond that may be much more problematic and it will be interesting to see next week how A&M plans to handle things
