Apparently you can have post after post trolling and bashing UNT, and nothing will happen to you, but if you make a thread that says "Eric Morris Should Be Fired" it gets shut down. Mods:

They do. It's why in football Kstate played us the week of thanksgiving.

Agree on the polished comment. Ma'syn Howell and Tyran Mason look like great pieces for the future, maybe they get some more minutes as the year progresses.

Most of our conference mates are playing Saturday and they all have great match ups. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard/_/date/20241214/group/62

That's 1 more than we need to run the triple option.

That's sort of being addressed in the new House v. NCAA case we keep hearing about. Eseentially they want to move NIL inside the athletic departments and allow schools to directly pay players, they will also have up to 20% revenue sharing from the athletic budget. https://www.ropesgray.com/en/insights/alerts/2024/11/ncaa-proposed-settlement-receives-preliminary-approval This part is particularly interesting, as it seems they are trying to stop some of the bloated NIL deals:

Agree, there would be a huge drop off of the type of players we would be able to get. What people like FFR need to get is the only way FB goes back to pre-NIL is no more games on TV. With the way the court rulings are in place now you can't use a player's image to profit, ie: commercials, media deals, sports show highlights, etc., without them getting compensation. What players are going to go from highlighted on the national level to none? It also blows my mind that people who lived through the drop to 2A and saw the consequences it created want to repeat the same thing.

It makes me wonder if they were nervous that CM would be injured, and were trying to preserve his redshirt even if was forced to play. But in general I agree, the last few coaches been extremely stubborn with giving minutes to backup QBs.

They were trying to preserve his redshirt no? Post season doesn't count for eligibility so it will be interesting to see if he gets the start.

You said: From the article: Is it so hard to admit you're wrong? We all misspeak.

The anti-trust laws in this country are too strong to fight against. You can not hinder or restrict anyone from making income in this country, once players were paid it was a wrap. How do you propose the NCAA fight federal law? I'll add it's federal law that they have already lost cases in as precedent.

That's because it was never really about that, if it was there would have been heavy restrictions on how NIL could be used. Big schools were tired of having down years and rebuilding teams, so they instead want to buy the best players out there so they stay at the top every year. Everyone knew this would be the outcome when NIL was passed without any safeguards. Why do you think transfer rules have also been done away with at the same time?

Spot on, especially the bolded.

True, these players also get a lot of perks from local businesses. I've seen many get free leases from local car dealerships. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/avery-johnson-purple-corvette-car-kansas-state/fa9b60111c73c74bebac67e6
