Everyone would benefit except the NFL which would probably have to put up the money to start it. Kids who don't care about school won't have to deal with it, schools won't have to babysit kids to keep them eligible, coaches won't have to worry about losing a starter to a bad GPA.

TV money will decline over time, and you can only hike up ticket prices to a certain amount before people stop going (the NFL is starting to learn this) so that just leaves donors. You either have to have a large base like Big10 schools or a small but generous/rich base. There's also the chance...

If Roof voluntarily leaves $1.6million on the table and takes a shadow staff job at Tech we should build him a statue. That would be crazy on his part and I would not disagree with it. It takes two sides to make a deal and he's entitled to that salary.

The accrediting agencies are about the only real power left to level the playing field. They need to do what the NCAA did to SMU and set an example and revoke the accreditation of a major school for having joke classes for their athletes. Nobody is going to be able to cap salaries, and there's...

We aren't keeping a guy on for that paycheck unless it's as a coordinator.

Give them the best S&C program in the country. We get pushed around way too much on the line. Even Duke pretty much neutralized our entire DLine.

The more I think about it, I think it will even itself out if we get rid of the "shadow staff" and "analysts" or whatever. With 6,7,8 million dollar salaries come expectations of winning big. You don't invest that kind of money to go 7-5. This leads to some good (although maybe not elite) guys...

You can hold on to coaches if you find the right guy who cares about where he's at and isn't in it for the biggest paycheck (like Jimbo). Boise State, TCU, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Stanford, and others all found coaches that will stay even when bigger schools come knocking. Peterson left...

Yeah, don't ask about if a guy is losing his job right before Christmas. You aren't going to get an answer because stuff like that is sent out in press releases when and if it happens. The only answers are "No" or "You're a jerk for asking because you know how this stuff works". I'm 100% ok with...

Our LBs may be the worst coached position group on defense. I would not want Roof to continue overseeing them.

If we don't fire him now (and I don't think we will since we haven't heard about any staff shakeups or even rumors) I don't know what the plan is. We have so many new starters, why not start fresh with a new defense? If we keep Roof and we decline we can easily look at the schedule or the new...

Are you so enamoured with the guy that if someone says something negative it's the equivalent of not giving him a chance? Everything he does and has done is perfect and he's a perfect human being and if you don't agree then you must want him fired and you don't want to give him a chance...

He has signed us up with an apparel company under FBI investigation, signed a deal to play AT Temple, and given Ted Roof a raise and an extension so far. We've also had three basketball players suspended and a coach suspended for recruiting violations. There's hype surrounding him, but if I'm...

I can only give anecdotal evidence, but I have family from SC and I would wager they have always had a bigger fanbase. The entire state is half USC, half Clemson and you see Clemson stuff everywhere. On the other hand I can go days without seeing a single piece of GT gear when I'm back in...

I get this, but again we aren't the ones wearing them we just look at them. I'll be the first guy to admit I'm probably out if touch with what young kids are into these days, but I'm willing to bet Adidas has a better idea of what appeals. The uniforms are for recruits and we just have to trust...
