When it comes to NIL, the power conferences never let anything like rules get in the way.

Wrong. Virginia has a beautiful campus, and their uniforms are really cool. And those Cavalier helmets are to die for.

Rematch of the 2002 New Orleans Bowl, only different Eagles and different Bearcats.

Josh Greer's cousin and Brock Berguland's little brother.

All 750 people at the stadium on gamedays will appreciate that

My justification for not donating to an NIL collective is that the wild west NIL era is harming college football and making the gap between the G5 and the P4/3/2 wider, so why would I fund that?

If G5 DID THEIR OWN THING. That is how 1aa happened . I still regreat my vote on that issue. I wanted to help Basketball and the minor sports.Do not go back to a smaller division.Money would dry up fast.

Anyone know if our coaches will be contributing to NIL?

its all about leadership at the University President and BOR level. Both schools have committed to moving up, while UNT is fine with status quo, decades of apathy can not be changed without help from the top levels.

We need upgrades everywhere. Porter shined at times but he isn't/wasn't going to take us to the promise land.

I find it hard to believe Marshall couldn't field 22 players. Surely this situation is precisely what the 3rd and 4th strings are for?

Marshall is also a victim, not one to be punished. And this couldn’t be solved by legislation in a thousand years. Besides, the legislators are mostly owned by bigger money programs that are best served by the current situation. So it wouldn’t be solved by that. I don’t see a good future for this as an industry.

1. The NIL isn’t supposed to provide the players a fair wage. It is supposed to allow them to take advantage of their name, image and likeness for marketing opportunities and to be paid by the video games for using their name and likeness in the games. It is not a wage for playing, but leave it to smuT to find a way to gain the system. 2. Wasting your college years is not getting an education.

We have Juan Soto?!? See if he can donate some of that $750 million contract to our NIL

Probably because he doesn’t have a future here and Cobbs is “lauding” him for his character. Cobbs is a class act.

American Athletic Conference commissioner Tim Pernetti believes teams should be held accountable in some form or fashion should they withdraw from a bowl game, leaving opponents and bowl organizers in tough spots. College Football Team May Face Punishment for Withdrawing from Bowl Game

Florida State coach Mike Norvell has restructured his contract and given $4.5 million back to the school for a new fund that shares revenue with athletes: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43003950/florida-state-mike-norvell-restructures-deal-gives-45m-new-initiative He makes $9.9 million next year so this is like taking a one-time 45 percent pay cut. He has a deal all the way to 2031 that's in serious peril if this year's catastrophic collapse becomes a trend.

They are donating to a shared revenue fund, which will obviously (but somehow legally) get into the hands of donors who will then contribute back to the players. There are almost zero guard rails on this thing. Edit: Nope, actually worse: Starting July 1, each Division I school will be allowed to share at least $20.5 million in revenue with their athletes under a House settlement agreement.

I think I saw that Brian Kelly was doing something like this at LSU. But how does that even work? The school/athletic department is not allowed to contribute toward NIL funds.

I'd choose Oklahoma State too. Mike Gundy is the kind of coach who will help you bury the body.

Well, he needs to commit.

Hard to process that we got invited into a better conference and this means our old bowl destinations aren't available?

Yeah, you don't know that. There is no predictable outcome with the current system. Every year looks like a rebuild now.

I wouldn't bash Sam Houston St too much. There's a good chance our defense has a bunch of their guys next year.

What a turnaround from 52-10 last season. Beat Westlake!

Respect to him for also playing in the bowl game. We will need him.

247 shows him as committed.

There was 2 of them

Don't forget about McGill, he was a pleasant surprise.

And second recognition:

Kind of a strange comment. He literally was a freshman All-American. Games are won and lost in the trenches, and losing our most promising young O-lineman hurts, no two ways about it.

Wow, so small time. One of the reasons this venue is such a beating. It's not just because SMU plays there.

Georgia Southern vs Sam Houston State How far we have fallen!

you forgot Uncle Rico

They are converting Gray from QB. As of right now, I would guess he, Porter, would be in consideration for the two deep considering everyone on the current roster that wasn’t injured was behind him. I would like to see Sibley and McGill to continue to develop. Evan’s is the head scratcher to me. Not sure what the issue is, but he is far from what he was rated coming out of high school. Have no idea what the HS recruit, Hawkins, brings to the table.

Guess not. 46-33 SC with a minute to go in the third.

$mut supplies his hookers and blow.

Look at his stats in 2021 and 2022 in what should have been his junior and senior seasons assuming a redshirt season at Texas. Also, Utah was 20-8 with 2 Rose Bowl appearances in those two seasons.

How impressive is it for them to learn that the coach is in NYC supporting his 0 star recruit; that he coached up to be a Heisman finalist? Coach O can step up.

No. At least Marshall will avoid being embarrassed in a bowl game. I'd gladly take any bowl outside of DFW against LA Tech, than what we got stuck with.

Sorry, dude! Some of us still love the games. I agree the games are watered down. You could say the bubble is popping.

Wow, that's incredible news for the Latex.

Opening up the transfer portal before the end of the bowl season is ridiculous.

I want to see a bowl get cancelled and college football/ESPN deal with that fallout.
