A lot of what is mentioned seemed fairly normal/expected but not having the chance to renegotiate is wild.
I have a dream, one day, quarterbacks and kickers will share revenue equally, for four years of eligibility.
they have Duke and Southern Illinois for 2026. Mizzou was the 3rd OOC until now for 2032, the only game they have in place now is Western Michigan
it seems like they have had a run of good old boy politicians as school decision makers, entirely enabled by the entrenched gop state leadership. this era seems like its going to set them back a generation; which seems unfathomable to all of us who grew up with them finishing top 5 for like 15 years straight.
the thing is, this is who FSU is 2001-2024 they have averaged 4 losses per year with 18 of 25 years being 4+ loss seasons. I don't expect them to ever be a legit consistent contender again. they are poorly run and in an era when money matters more than ever, they don't have the resources to keep up; and I'm not talking tv revenue, they lack the alumni base and old money given they have only been co-ed since 1947
we'll agree to disagree on his recruiting ability. his lack of effort in HS recruiting is concerning and it's not like he's bringing in top 20 HS classes. 65% of his acquisition thus far has been via the portal
and yet he keeps going to the portal because he isn't getting volume from HS he's only signed 48 HS kids across the last 3 classes; he brought in 47 kids in the 2025 cycle and just 14 came from HS
That hockey national championship has the AD flush with cash. 6 years to build a football powerhouse sounds about right.
It hosts Grambling-Prairie View and used to host the Heart of Dallas Bowl. Unsure if that's still a thing.
I’m all for historic venues marching forward but the actual cotton bowl already sold their souls to jerryworld and it seems like a steep price for the city to foot the bill for 3 games a year and 2 of those 3 are Grambling / PVAM & Heart of Dallas bowl
Heart of Dallas became the First Responder Bowl; 2024 season featured Texas St vs North Texas but they moved out of the Cotton Bowl and over to SMU's stadium beginning in 2019 the game is the day after Christmas primetime game this year for anyone who cares
lol lol lol bama lol lol lol 🎮 Here are the Top 25 teams in EA Sports College Football 26:— Chris Vannini (@chrisvannini.com) 2025-06-27T18:15:54.491Z
I've been building a web-based simulation of a college football coach, inspired by football manager style games. Need testers, need some ppl to tell me if this is fun or not. https://web-1acl.onrender.com/
The portal has done much more for any parity than NIL and that is really only due to the top of the top teams losing depth pieces that want to start and don’t have that path at those programs. Looking at like UGA, Bama to a degree, OSU, etc. UGA has tons of examples of 2’s (or 3’s) that were promising and they would have otherwise liked to keep especially for depth that went elsewhere and started (and thrived). OSU has examples of that. List goes on.
Even then, half of the blue chips in the portal are still ending up at the top 18 programs Meanwhile 64% of HS blue chips are going there to begin with, the same ratio we saw pre nil and pre portal
Yes maybe better way of saying it is that it’s knocking the top 5 down closer to the next 10…imo. More parity amongst the top 20, not the whole of the sport
Doesn’t he have a sexual assault allegation against/ civil suit against him? edit: reading article now. What a predicament for Jake. The legal defense saying it was consensual sex but that disobeys and spits in the face of the church of Jesus Christ and the ladder day saints and the byu honor code
