Well technically hasn't UTSA been robbing people for years by charging money for useless paper degrees?

So excited to cheer on the UNT 2024 team featuring... 11 starter defense guys 11 starter offense guys And a special teams unit! Half of who won't be here next year

I hate you for making me agree with you. But damned right. This might end up worse than NIL. "Our new QB has signed a 4 year college deal with Mountain Dew. Please respect our decision while he finishes his free nursing degree and we absorb 10% of your schools student fees for 10 years whether you are good or not"

This weekends college football brought to you by.... Carl's jr

Name an upside...any. I wanted litrell gone more than most, but we settled for thrift store coach instead? Sure, he speaks instead of mumbles, but there are no results

Solid point, except that player will be playing for Ohio State or Oregon the next year. They are fortunate to have the donors to buy a new team every year. It's hard enough to care about UNT football, less difficult to not care about SMU

Your rent-a-team is projected. Your school however is irrelevant to what your donors will pay.

Yes. But don't forget the apples.

Ok... as far as strawman arguments and equivalency go... that was just the worst. A terrorist attack vs a spirit group? I get we love football but that's not even apples and Oranges. Thats... apples and GMO modified asparagus grown from the enriched soil from the moon.

I honestly do not know how it'll shake out. This whole thing has been bizarre. But if I had to make a guess.. Rule #1 of money is you don't touch another man's money. This goes double for big money, and NFL owners are the biggliest. They also have a lot of influence over their alma maters. You're right, the floodgates are open, so you can't close it. You control it. I foresee contacts and salary caps becoming relevant at the school level. I also expect it to break into 2 divisions because unfortunately G5 just cannot compete financially. It will resemble the NFL control structure more, but obviously being higher education facilities there will be distinct differences. But anything that improves physical competition (not monetary) will be pushed for by these influences. I'm also 100% wrong on this because the shit show is just starting and who knows what will happen tomorrow

I have a diversive opinion on the pro side. We are about to see a generation of spoiled overpaid college kids demanding more as a rookie than ever before. They will work less and expect more because now they have expectations that can't last in terms of money or respect/experience The CFB correction will happen when pro teams realize they are getting a lesser product from universities that have enabled a the next class of spoiled kids.

3 or 4? I am rapidly losing interest in college sports.

Let's be 100% transparent. Our situation is apples and Oranges to theirs. We learn on the job and we have a ceiling. Most of our careers will max at what...250k? 300 at most unless you are a Harvard educated CEO. Most of us probably started in the 40k range. That's Pickles compared to their starting peanuts. Athletes have insane competition just to get hired, have a super high ceiling, but also a super short shelf life (unless you're Aaron Fing Rodgers. Please die already). The investment is before they get hired, and the potential is (imho) insane. There's no comparison here. Best not to try.

Just need to launch "NCAAF collective manager simulator 2025" instead. Who cares how your rent-a-team did as long as you can buy a new one next season. The Sims of college football. I'm patenting that. It was my idea first.

I uh... this is going to come as a shock... we kinda are the shallow end? Our blood runs green but we can't kid ourselves that we aren't a perpetual bottom 1/3rd of fbs

Interestingly it has gone the other direction, so I guess I'm way off on my ranting. Had AI run the % of draft picks from P5 teams 2014: Approximately 82% 2015: Approximately 80% 2016: Approximately 83% 2017: Approximately 85% 2018: Approximately 81% 2019: Approximately 79% 2020: Approximately 83% 2021: Approximately 84% 2022: Approximately 82% 2023: Approximately 80%

The days of getting players drafted are pretty much gone for G5. If you are good enough you transfer and build up your resume. Just another reason I'm losing interest in CFB. I'd be very interested in seeing how many G5 players are drafted annually vs before portal/NIL... oh wait no I just really don't care anymore. 🖕NCAAF

This is the internet good sir. Reason was abandoned for madness years ago. It's now 90% memes and ads for singles in your *insert city* area

Watching the packers shred the boys for yet another year might almost be something I could swallow if Zach was there.

I remember my first IPA... what a disaster. But I learned that, like coffee, its a process. Start with the absolute worst most bitter and pungent one imaginable. I recommend arrogant bastard. This is the palate killer. Next, go cheap and simple, something inoffensive like Sierra Nevada's entry level IPA. This acts close to a palate cleanser, but more of a palate reset. Finish with something high end. I recommend dogfish head 90 minute. After that, the flavor just sparks. You suddenly notice the notes and appreciate the hoppy bitterness. Or you don't, you unsophisticated donkey.

Guy was coaching into his 70s. The only things burning were his knees. Back. Kneck. Probably prostrate and who the hell knows what else. NIL may have been the final straw, but this guy went well beyond the standard and still did amazing work.

Like seriously... my daughter is about to go into computer animation..of which UNT has no degree. Texas state has one. UT as well. Should I curse her lineage because she went to another college for a better program? The green in me says yes... the dad in me tells that other guy to f*ck right off

Basically, if FSU couldn't make CFP against the current conference, then playing Cal or SMU is going to count even less against them and push the strength of schedule even further back
