You're correct it was BYU, and according to reports it attracted the attention of the NCAA (for what it's worth). https://kslsports.com/474620/byu-football-ncaa-built-bar-nil-probe/ Same article mentions a 123 roster limit but I don't know for sure if that's correct. Point being, NIL can be a...

Had a similar thought back when some of the NIL craziness first broke into the news. As I see it, the 85 limit still is in place but NCAA enforcement is essentially neutered by NIL. I recall one school (Utah?) announcing that their entire team had been given scholly-level NIL deals. At some...

Interesting. Thomas Guerry is still listed as our Director of Player Personnel. Wonder if he knows?

Sometimes failure is the best teacher. Perhaps historic failure will result in historic improvement.

Doubled, that nearly offsets TFG's buyout!

My recollection is that he is not to be paid in a lump sum, but rather in installments over the remaining years on his contract. Similar to how we would have paid his salary if he wasn't terminated. Edit to add: This approach obviously improves our cash flow situation over what we would have...

Exactly.

You can also try a thought experiment - take any of the named QBs and imagine they swapped places with Bennett. Would they do as well or better in UGA's offense? Would Bennet do as well or better in their offenses?

Didn't we just do what you suggested? 5 new OL recruited out of 19 recruits total. Seems like we focused on OL more than any other position.

I was a couple of years behind you but can relate. Know exactly what you're describing in your first couple of sentences, especially "on the Interstate side". I too am hoping that Key will find success by leveraging his experiences at the Institute.

Mods - this is a good discussion...of note, I started a separate thread on this and related topics a couple of weeks ago to try and keep other threads on topic. In case clean up is warranted.

I was also surprised to see Helen on the list. But if you think about it, the same reasons that make it a tourist destination also could be the reason its #1 on the list for property crime.

Parity. Without some semblance of or at least a perception of relative parity, fans lose interest. The pros realized this some time ago.

It isn't clear to me that the money flowing to NIL, donated to the AA, or else directly to the S-As, is necessarily a zero-sum situation as you imply. I suspect there is some overlap, but if we are to believe that at least a portion of NIL funding is advertising that would otherwise have been...

Thanks for sharing the article. I found it enlightening with respect to the history of admissions and eligibility requirements for S-As. Also interesting was the court's take on the NCAA's authority over athletic programs: "As to the question of whether the NCAA maintained "controlling...

The contract terms don't prove this by any means, but they do support the notion that we may have been unable to meet the salary demands of some of our other choices who had HC experience.

Well, Tech's coach, AD, and Pres seem to want to play with the big boys.

More food for thought: The only overarching entity that currently has power over the entire realm of college football is the NCAA. Its power stems from an agreement among its member institutions. However, its power has greatly diminished in recent years via a series of court rulings, and...

The increased pool for assistants and staff may be the single most important part of the deal. Ken's tweet said it was a 30% increase, but it seems more than that to me based on what little I know of staff salaries. Someone remarked in the tweet's comments that the pool was only $3M when...

I thought about how this concept might work within the current framework of NCAA divisions and subdivisions. Currently, we have D1 which is further divided into FBS and FCS, as well as D2 and D3. The teams have agreed on differentiators mostly in the form of scholarship limits (less aid for the...
