they can contact their high school coach who can act as an intermediary. That definitely happens today.

I support this but the NCAA really needs to crackdown on the tampering rules if this goes into effect so you don’t have factories recruiting off lower-level P5 and G5 rosters.

Rice owns the TV rights, gets the gate, etc so it’s a home game but the NFL stadium has more suites, etc to sell. To go back to the same example, in its history, Rice has more P5 wins than any non-AAC G5 school (I think SMU and Navy have more). But ultimately, after we got left behind from...

Hate to burst anybody’s bubble but if you think GA Tech is above playing @GA St, my other alma mater, Rice (a smaller school than GA St), is hosting/has hosted in the last three and next three seasons, Baylor, Wake, Texas, and LSU. If LSU can play @Rice, then GT can play @GASt.

A sixteen team playoff would do a lot to keep more fan bases engaged for longer during the season. Now that game in late November between two 8-3 teams really matters vs. just being a run-of-the-mill game.

Bingo... The value in most players at the collegiate level is the name on the front of their jersey not the name on the back. I quite honestly wouldn’t pay $20 for a Joe Burrow autograph... Not because he’s not a great player, but rather just because I’m not a LSU fan. Now, obviously, there...

This is a bad way for the proponents of player pay to frame the conversation. There are LOTS and LOTS of people seeking a higher education who come from bad family situations. There is nothing unique about being a student-athlete when it comes to that. Player pay should be based on some type...

Former Frito-Lay CEO (a unit of PEP) and current Albertsons CEO is a GT guy so though Coke is the hometown team, there’s some GT influence on the other side!

Spoken like someone who has never had the (dis)pleasure of living amongst Texas Aggies.

Miami, TCU, Texas, Washington, Pittsburgh, NC State, Arizona State, Utah... Maybe missing some. Some people in this thread have the wrong perspective though... Besides it’s public status, GT has a lot more in common with Rice and Carnegie Mellon than it does with Auburn or UGA.

Does anyone have a screen cap of Laskey’s tweet? It’s since been deleted and I didn’t see it.

From what I know about his family, I don’t think funeral costs, etc will be an issue... That said, I think it’d be nice to start some kind of scholarship fund in his name or what not... But probably best to wait for the dust to settle until starting something like that up. Horrible, horrible...

Which is a PepsiCo product. The dirty little secret in College Athletics is that despite most teams being sponsored by Coca-Cola, the Powerade coolers that adorn the sidelines are often filled with Gatorade powdered drink.

Belichick and CPJ are friends. Pretty sure there’s plenty of mutual respect.

Preston has coached at Stanford, Notre Dame, Washington St, etc.. He’s made plenty of money, etc... He has a kid with autism. Why uproot your family to go chase a few extra dollars at age 60 when you can retire and enjoy your life? For the people hating on Lamar, he’s lucky he got a college job...

Preston retired.

No, I have been inside BDS recently. I agree that it's not very raucous. But lots of schools have that issue... Notre Dame, Michigan, and Texas all are pretty quiet stadiums for their size.

Lamar Owens named WR coach at Georgia Southern.

Could also go to Texas. They’re looking for a grad transfer OL.
