While possible, it's not as simple as getting the NCAA to pass a new rule. The Blue Bloods will need to lobby Congress to get legislation passed. Currently, any restrictions are illegal unless agreed upon via collective bargaining.

Some of y'all seem like you just woke up and noticed NIL. It's been in place since 2021. Player agents. Lamborghinis. We make a splash and suddenly there's hand-wringing.

I hope so. I may be recalling this incorrectly but I seem to remember King mentioning "consistency" several times in the pressers. No doubt our coaches have made it a point of emphasis.

Appreciate your detailed response. I may be looking at our offense through the golden haze of comparison with prior seasons where Shanahan got a serious workout. As for Bowling Green, yes overall they were indeed a “middling G5 team”. But if you look at their season defensive stats, they were...

There’s always room for improvement. But I wouldn’t describe an offense that nearly doubled its previous year’s scoring output, led the league in rushing and was 3rd in total offense, as “sputtering a lot”. Our offense struggled more against elite defenses (Clemson and UGA) as would most. Our...

If that's the case I would not expect his absence to be much of an issue during the game, unfortunately.

He's just suspended from their games, so yes they will have a plan to work around that. But that's still a handicap if he was expected to be making the play calls. This article does a deep dive into the NCAA penalties imposed on FSU. Frankly, I was surprised by their magnitude - they really...

I wasn't aware of this, which could be significant. If Buster Faulkner was suspended, I would be concerned. Key and Weinke could probably manage the game ok, but it would be a handicap.

Thanks - found it on page 266.

Your experience aligns with my earlier comment (maybe in this thread but perhaps in another) responding to a poster complaining about vacant seats in the club section and assuming they were unsold. When I checked ticket availability, there was none. Lack of demand for premium seating options...

I think you either misunderstood my point or I wasn't being clear (probably the latter). I wasn't intending to suggest that we spend money simply to reduce stadium capacity. However, spending money to improve the seating and offering an improved fan experience could help bolster our attendance...

I'm not following your point about underperformance. Can you elaborate? Also, can you share your data source? I'm not an advocate of lowering our capacity below 51k, but it makes sense from a revenue standpoint to have the capacity better aligned with expected ticket sales.

Interesting stats. But they seem counterintuitive. How do you manage to have 3.16 yards/carry after contact but only 3.2 yards/carry average? I realize that sacks lower the yards/carry number, but he only had 10 for the season. Haynes King had 15 sacks, but still managed to net 6.1...

Thanks for sharing this. Some of this appears to be a lazy take by ESPN. They claim to factor in returning production, transfers, and new recruits to go along with recent stats. I’m not convinced their rankings reflect this accurately. I don’t have access to last year’s SP+ rankings, but we...

As I said, growth in other program's ticket sales is irrelevant to GT.

The simple fact is that college football is an entertainment business that desires to maximize revenue. There is a relationship between stadium capacity utilization and ticket prices (supply/demand). There is also a positive relationship between total ticket revenue and the supply of premium...

You make a good point, which I am hoping is the case on the 24th.

To expand on what you cited, I am less concerned about how we match up with FSU's athletes and more concerned about them coming to play with a chip on their shoulder from the CFP snub.

Given the discussions in this thread about updates to BDS, reducing capacity, and related issues, I’m sharing this info about the renovations currently underway at FSU’s Doak Campbell: FSU Stadium Updates Bottom line – FSU acknowledges the facts of lower attendance trends and the need for more...
