There are elements of truth to both disparate viewpoints about star rankings – it's not an either/or issue. It has been shown that recruits committing to a major factory school often get a bump in their ranking. Conversely, it was almost a running joke during the CPJ era that when a recruit...

247 ranks “Team Talent Composite”, a reasonable proxy for Blue Chip Ratio. https://247sports.com/Season/2023-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite/ While the usual suspects are highly ranked, there are a few outliers. Michigan won it all with a 14th-ranked roster. Washington came close with a...

Just a quick update on the legal proceedings in case anyone remains interested...on Tuesday in Leon County, FSU alum Judge Cooper denied the ACC's motion to dismiss based on jurisdiction. Shocking, I know.

You may be correct, but when I logged in and selected "Tickets" at the top of the page (I'm on a desktop), the drop-down linked to SeatGeek as the GT official ticket marketplace. Following this link, all games had seats available. If you are a season ticket holder (I'm not currently), you...

Did you go through SeatGeek? That's where I was directed for tickets after login.

Agree that the goal is money. Also agree with @RonJohn that 20 doesn't seem like enough to avoid viewer fatigue, or tap into other fanbases enough to achieve NFL-like viewership. Outside of their immediate fanbase, folks will tire of seeing Bama/uga/Ohio St./Michigan plus an occasional wild...

I may have seen you play. Don’t remember many games (didn’t follow basketball much then) but as a freshman in 1970, I recall some of my fellow students talking me into going to some games to see if we could score 100 points - which we did from time to time. Yunkus was quite the star player...

Pretty good list. Win 8-9 with that schedule, and we are a darn good team.

I agree with everything you said except the bolded part, where the opposite is often true. Case in point: https://247sports.com/player/haynes-king-46049892/college-246038/

I’ve seen complaints on this board about the stadium PA for quite some time over multiple seasons. The solution to the sound problem may be simple, but like most issues, there needs to be: A recognition by those in charge that there’s a problem; A high enough priority by those in charge that it...

Thanks, that explains a lot. I don't think that GT's current fee is all that much relative to the total cost of attendance. Also, most of our students live on campus and can easily access multiple events (many free of charge). In contrast, many GSU students are commuters, so their pushback...

The main campus undergrad enrollments are in the same ballpark, although GSU's is about double GT's if you include Perimeter College. Turns out the AA revenue difference is mostly due to the amount of the individual student fee. GSU's quarterly athletic fee is $275, while GT's is $127. This...

Thanks for sharing this. So their AA was a) practically gifted a relatively modern stadium by the city ($30M doesn't come close to its value or construction costs), and b) somehow got the school and private equity to pay for renovations and surrounding new infrastructure. I thought the BoR...

Speaking of the Ted...does anyone know how Georgia State has funded their facility modifications and upgrades? The Knight database lists their debt as zero. Have they snagged some state funding? Just wondering how they've managed it. Edit to add: Georgia State's student fee income is triple...

NFL games are more boring to me as well, but you can’t dispute their viewership numbers. The NFL sets the standard for a well-managed entertainment business that has had sustained growth and outstanding audience numbers. As @RonJohn indicated, the college game is lacking a few things that will...

I know several fans with mixed allegiances and catch the Tech games if we are playing a marque opponent or in a bowl. In a few cases, they may watch hoping to see us lose, as I sometimes do when ugag is playing an important game. But many actively root for us to win as long it's not COFH. I...

Perhaps these were forward-looking statements, but admitting Texas already set the precedent.

This is the reason I feel that there needs to be a strong academic connection to the school in order for the sport to continue to thrive. Paid players or not, if they aren't students, then it is truly just a minor league for the NFL. And I agree that the popularity would decline if that were...

I'm not disputing your comment, but can you provide a link? The reason I ask is...Stetson.

In basketball, the coaching change clearly affected some transfers. Regardless, you may want to check these links out. In the first, note the year-over-year improvement, which runs counter to your statement: https://ramblinwreck.com/ncaa-gsr-2022/ https://ramblinwreck.com/grad-spring-24/...
