Man, it's a weird weird world where actually going up to the NFL is a massive pay cut. Everything is stupid now.

Going to be pretty blunt here... thats a horrible horrible idea. We already struggle with attendance. Raising prices AND diverting more student fees to the program only makes that worse. We need that one or two years with a donor windfall to get us into Boise (or maybe a lesser g5) territory. This is a clear example of building up not working, but being pulled up. Just enough to light a fire.

If you guys don't want to read a thread about SMU, the answer is super simple. Don't read it. It isn't gonna bite you if you ignore it

Funny comment on the whole thing, you can legally buy players from the opposing playoff team via portal to secure a win. Thats just screwed up!

Playoff teams are actually paying players to stay for their games because they worry they don't have enough kids available for practice. Sure the big hitters will be there, but the full truth is this situation is impacting the sport horribly. There will be changes now that the snowflake P4s are impacted

We've also been spoiled by the quality of opponents, which honestly, are mostly terrible

Yup. He totally went there for the degree. He grabbed a quick check and will likely be riding the bench all season on his way to a... technical writing degree?

This isnt a bonus of the portal, but a necessity. Trading QBs every season isn't an upside, even if it is...uh...puffinbarger? Wtf...

All 750 "announced" attendance. The other 600 couldn't be bothered

Man, what an absolute joke of a landing spot.

Probably some title IX stuff where it has to have some application across all sports and genders. But that's just a guess

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 would love to see us and a dozen others do the same. That's where the rebellion happens. Hurt them at the bank!

Hunter should have this locked down. He's an absolute monster on both sides of the field, completely deserving and doing things few ever could

I have no words for how poor an investment this is for OK state. Of course anyone would take that money.

Until contracts become a thing I will never donate a dollar to NIL. That's a horrible investment for a 1 year player

We should just use this one since we won't have any starters left. Gonna have to recruit for our bowl game

I don't even see CM getting a big boost either. He's ranked as the 8th QB transfer... so far. Highly likely he gets a bit of cash and ends up at best a p4 backup or just playing for his dad.

You can still play up to 4 games before losing a redshirt now. We easily could be prepping him knowing that CM was going to bolt the moment the portal opened.

This opportunity just turned into a nightmare in a matter of hours. We are going to get rail roaded by them...

Screw you for making me agree. But the bar couldn't get much lower after the exits today. Honestly, wth happened with Cash McCollum? He seemed like our next hero QB and we've seen nothing but a walk-on backup...

It's because half the board is too old and crotchety too enjoy the banter, the other half too young to really know true frustration, and the other half unable to admit they failed college algebra

Best advice i have for you guys.. I really don't see how this goes your way

Even with a loss, SMU will probably make CFP. Plus side is watching all that NIL money get nuked when the other teams do very disrespectful things to SMUs remains afterwards.

We still keeping this gem in you're post history? (Yes, I did it on purpose)
