Week 1 is rarely a great indicator of what the heck is going to happen over the next 13 weeks.

The games played so far are not exactly a great indicator of CUSA either.

WKU fans are probably trying to figure out if hoops can start earlier. Charlotte is still a hoops school. UAB is a hoops school that just got the hit of losing basically a travel squad sized group of seniors they had amassed for the return to football. FIU managed two bowl appearances in four years of having one of the best players to come out of the Group of Five in the past decade, Davis is 67 so who knows how the recruiting situation is but he managed a 15-17 ACC record at UNC before the NCAA "adjusted" the outcome.

Not exactly a parade of the football first schools that have fan bases demanding football accountability.

FIU getting prison raped by Tulane, UAB looking pedestrian against Alabama State, WKU lose to FCS Central Arkansas. This truly is a clown conference. Embarrassing

Oh, and I hate to be the guy, but this drives me crazy. It is lose not loose and losing not loosing.

Non CUSA, but Cal looks mediocre against Cincy. Cincy up 17-14 in the 4th Edit, I am dumb, this is UCLA and not Cal. Too many beers.

WKU had multiple ten win seasons recently so they’re not a perennial lousy team. You can struggle against UCA but you gotta win that game. 

Butch Davis hasn’t won anywhere as a head coach not named Miami. 

Charlotte? Yeah, good luck winning there.

Gotta wonder what Coach Brohm is thinking.  I mean, I know he’s employed elsewhere now, but he really brought them up before heading to Purdue.   I bet it has crossed his mind that their leadership let what he built crumble within 2 years and are venturing close to rock bottom now.

WKU football had 2 10+ win seasons. Years 2 and 3 of CUSA which happened to be years 2 and 3 of Jeff Brohm.

Worst was when Fedora left USM. They repudiated everything Fedora did. Changed offense and defense and hired a staff much older than the one Fedora had.

Oh yeah!  Good call... And that was a next-year nosedive too.

Army only beating Rice 14-7 was a bit surprising. Don’t know what to make of it 🤨

I was in and out of that game. Weird that Army's two scores were on really long drives and couldn't score with better field position.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
