    Conference Realignment

    To go further down that path, one argument for another conference taking FSU is that their media rights would be worth more in another conference (better matchups). When a reasonable businessperson sells an asset, they don’t sell it for less than it’s worth to the seller—they sell it for more...

    Conference Realignment

    There seem to be two contradictory ideas that FSU is holding at the same time FSU is competitively disadvantaged by lower ACC payouts and has to get out ASAP FSU will solve this by paying penalties, repurchasing their media rights, hopefully getting full shares from another conference—but...

    The ACC wants FSU’s Florida case dismissed because FSU isn’t actually suing for anything tangible—they haven’t filed to leave. https://247sports.com/college/florida-state/article/acc-files-motion-to-dismiss-or-alternatively-to-stay-in-leon-county-court-on-friday-227273418/

    GT over/under 5.5 wins in 2024

    Stansbury was a “fix the stadium” or “capital campaign” hire. If you look at what he did elsewhere, fixing up the UCF stadium and bringing in new concepts is what he did. You can see someone’s priorities by where they put their time. Before Batt, the emphasis was on hiring ADs that build...

    Kenyatta Watson- Gone to AU

    With a few exceptions, coaches and staff should move occasionally. It was a coup getting Watson from FSU. I hate losing him, but we need to get someone as good. That’s the job market

    GT over/under 5.5 wins in 2024

    Bobinski did some damage before TStan, and so did the ADs before him. The last couple of seasons were really bad because they drove fans out of the stadium. It’s easier to keep a fan than to make a new one, and we lost a lot of fans.

    It’s a “what have you done for us lately” kind of world. On the other hand, recruiting and NIL shouldn’t be a limitation in Columbus

    It got sold. The founder left. The acquiring company stopped paying people last year. Updates stopped in the spring, I think. By September 2023, the site was shut down. Aaron Schatz (founder) is over at a sports book kinda site

    GT over/under 5.5 wins in 2024

    Agree on how you break down the opponents Based on past history, we come out of the “easy six games” with 3-4 wins, and pick up a few wins in the other group. As much as I enjoyed last season, I think last season’s team wins 5 games against this schedule. To win 7 games against this...

    Here you go—DeShaun Foster is the new UCLA HC And apparently Arizona’s brand new coach did interview for the UCLA job while he had barely started the Arizona job.

    Conference Realignment

    It was rumored that a previous AD (Bobinsky) turned down a large donation when Johnson was coach. Maybe this is the same one?

    Sports Reference is pretty good in that respect too. I just grabbed the overall stats. Regarding the 7’4” Purdue center, we could use a beast in the middle. And a Kyle Korver type player.

    Our best stats are 67th in blocks 69th in offensive rebounds 81st in total rebounds All the rest are in the 180s or 230s or thereabouts—below average and way below P6 average. I don’t know if Ndongo or Reeves get honorable mention, but no one is first or second team this season. Ndongo...
