I don't think the sport is dying but it is changing. Attendance at games has been decreasing consistently for over 15 years now (with the exception of 2021 being bigger than 2020 due to COVID). What's interesting, most plans to update college stadiums now look at reducing the number of seats...

Hall has used all his eligibility.

We definitely need some experience in the WR room. Lane suffered a season ending injury in 2021 during game 7. Best year by far was the COVID year with 29 catches for 409 yds and 2 TD. Played in 8 games this season with 7 catches for 79 yds (was tied 8th in receptions and 10th in rec yards). I...

Reading back over recruiting articles it looks like Long was known as a good run blocker in HS (for a run heavy team) and then got G5 offers after catching the ball well at a 7-on-7 competition before his senior year. He originally committed to Tulane in July 2021, but decommitted in November...

The weird thing that stands out to me about Wade is the 3 year coaching gap. After his one season as OC/OL at UT Martin he did not coach again until 2021. He coach at GA Southern in 2021. It then looks like Tulane hired him to be their OL coach for 2022 but App State came along and hired him...

Ken's article is very helpful. It is clear GT didn't have a huge pool of money, but maximized what they could. The fact that the incentives were largely in line with what I believe the incentives were for Collins suggest this isn't a result of decreasing the guaranteed and increasing the...

If Dontae is gone, he walked during Sr day, our skill positions on offense are going to have to be almost completely rebuilt.

Keeping money separate between Academics and Athletics is not an unusual position for most public universities. Also, the vast majority of money given to universities (that end up in their endowments) are given for specific purposes and cannot be used for anything other than that specified...

This just reiterates to me that the end of the decade is the likely next window. That is when the B10's contracts are up. At that point they could be interested in PAC and ACC teams and will likely make moves based on who they think brings the most value and how easy it will be to bring teams in.

We really don't know how good of contract this is until we see the details. The biggest positive is the bigger salary pool for assistants. We really don't know much about the buyout except for it going to 50% in year 4. What is it in the 3 years before that? He will be the lowest paid HC in...

I still wonder if we aren't headed to a situation that the former Notre Dame AD mentioned a few years ago might eventually come to pass, that the day may come where there will be a league of the schools that just want to operate as an NFL minor league and a league with schools that still want to...

That's a good hire for them. He turned them down in 2018, but I suspect is likely to win faster there now. This article says he is likely to make over $6MM year. He's been quite successful at both Western KY and Purdue...

If a coach is fired or resigns than a player can transfer and not have to sit a year. I believe that was implemented by the NCAA back in 2019 or 2020..

Whether we like to admit this or not we never had a shot at Deion. We lack the money he was seeking. They are talking $5MM yr + an additional potential of $2MM more in incentives. I doubt we are paying CBK more than around $3MM. We pretty well know that GT was unable to pay Fritz in the $4MM...

I think the 2 most interesting comments were these. “The models for GT are Stanford and Northwestern,” he wrote. “They just need to figure out how they can make the academic restrictions and situation work for them.” This comment of course flies completely in the face of the whole "GT needs to...

The difference in money level is important as is how it alters the process. In a good situation, the hiring of a coach would be left to the AD and/or search committee. They would determine who would be the best candidate for the job is and then go to the 'big money' men and lay out who they...

My expectation is that Pastner will have though next season before he is in serious jeopardy. GT didn't really have the money to fire Collins and hire a new HC for football and with all that money tied up it has even less money to make a change in MBB. Unfortunately, GT's athletics are just...

I am really pleased to see that Key seems to be moving quickly to evaluate the changes he thinks need to be made in the program. I get the impression that we will makeover most of the offensive staff and keep most of the defensive staff. I don't get any sense that we have a significant amount...

It will be interesting to see how attractive the GT OC position is. If McCollum stays in the portal and Smith doesn't return, next season's O could be worse than this season's O. The OL appeared to be getting a little better later in the season, but depth appears to be a significant concern...

I don't see the number of regular season games being reduced. That would likely mean a lost home game for most programs, who won't want to do that and give up on the revenue from that home game. AA's are completely drunk on money and will not do anything to reduce the amount of revenue generated.
