Neat-O, now do it by state......https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/what-state-produces-the-most-nfl-players
That definitely happens in HS recruiting already, why not College?
Interesting, Georgia is always touted as being a top 5 high school talent producing state, but we are relatively low on the NFL list.
Miami?
Fyi, that list is by college, not by high school. Probably less relevant to the discussion on recruiting.
Good point, by high school is here- https://www.maxpreps.com/news/Z1BdJ...h-nearly-200-former-players-in-the-league.htm
At 144, Georgia would have to be #1 in percentage of high school players who ended up in the NFL.
I’m really more than a little surprised that FSU, Clemson or someone with a reported “standing offer” to join the SEC or BIG haven’t filed a Declaratory Judgment action to test whatever theories they may have to vacate the GOR. In the scheme of things, it wouldn’t be that expensive or time-consuming and, if it failed, it would just confirm that the GOR is there to be reckoned with until it expires or until specific events occur.Anyone really surprised by FSU's demands? This scenario was always inevitable...I actually said something like this was going to happen in the expansion thread. Graham Neff (a GT graduate), the Clemson AD, is also pushing for uneven revenue distribution. The factory schools that view themselves as "national level" want to make sure they get enough revenue to compete with their peers in the B1G and SEC.
There's been rumors for years that FSU was a B1G target. FSU probably has a standing offer from the B1G once the GOR gets settled (either through expiration or in court). I suspect a few other ACC schools also have standing offers (by the B1G or SEC) once the GOR is settled. Right now, Clemson is the flagship football program for the ACC, so if they band together with FSU/UNC there could be some lawyers scurrying to undue the GOR or even the ACC. There are definitely outside factors influencing this. Anyone really surprised that certain programs are making noise right now? They see the revenue distribution coming in the next 3-5 years, and the ACC is about to get left in the dust by the B1G and the SEC.
Which brings us back to GT's decision to turn down the B1G. That decision keeps looking worse and worse as the years (and months) goes by. Not only did our loyalty to the ACC do us no favors (where was the ACC when the Demaryius Thomas stuff was going down, how about scheduling that favored our opponents.), but now members are openly demanding to what amounts to taking money out of our share. So instead of the prospect of making $75-100 million a YEAR with the B1G, GT could very well end up at the bottom of the ACC distribution share. GT needs to learn something that it obviously hasn't learned with the mistake of leaving the SEC: Romanticizing the Student Athlete and college athletics does not pay...in fact, it's hurt us dearly.
Moving on to PAC12/ACC merger. How prescient was this in 2021:
Expansion Talk 2021
Some of you guys act as if the TV contracts are gonna hold these schools, if realignment happens ESPN will want to redo the contracts also AND school media rights would be part of a new dealgtswarm.com
IMO, adding teams like Oregon/Washington/Stanford/Cal/Utah to the ACC mix would be great. However, I think it would only be a temporary fix for both the ACC and the remaining PAC12 schools. As soon as the GOR for the ACC expires, all bets will be off...and the B1G and SEC will swoop in and take their picks again.
Florida State in the SEC, Notre Dame in the Big Ten and more realignment 'What ifs'
College Football's biggest "What ifs": Would Notre Dame fit in the Big Ten? How about Florida State in the SEC? What about super-conferences? These topics and more are tackled by the ESPN staff.www.espn.com
Ivan Maisel: The poaching of Maryland and Rutgers allowed the Big Ten to establish a beachhead on the East Coast, but what if Jim Delany had succeeded in his sales pitch to Georgia Tech and convinced the Yellow Jackets to leave the ACC? The Big Ten would have set anchor in Atlanta, the national capital of college football. The league would be able to recruit more in the biggest treasure chest of talent in the country. And Ohio State fans would have learned the pleasures of a chili dog at The Varsity.
Great salesmen for Gt will have special place in heaven
ate at the Varsity last wknd and saw a large group of Auburn folks, turned out they were a rugby team on the way to play uga, we wished them good luck!
Not in the next few years, but out in the future years somewhere it would not shock me to see UF, UT Austin, TXA&M, U. Kansas ending up in the BIG All AAU schools representing good to great media mkts.
