If I didn’t miscount, Tulsa has 23 players listed in the portal.

They had a coaching change, so it’s expected for them. The offensive defections here are a worry. Defense not so much with the new DC/scheme change

UNT has 14 players in Portal. Arkansas has 25, Tulsa 23, Marshall 22 so it could be worse. Also Stone who transferred  from North Texas to Marshall is on the move again.

Morris is getting paid $1M to transfer to Oklahoma State…we can’t compete with that kind of money! Good luck to him and break a leg pizano!!! 

Outrageous if true.

I want to be in a position in life financially where I can throw stupid, generational money at my sports team with little or no guarantee of ROI...and be okay with it.

Is that amount confirmed by any reputable source?  

I have never seen a reliable source for NIL figures.  Not sure you can expect an answer.  It's all handshake figures until a kid enrolls and even then, I don't think official numbers are disclosed?

Maybe they should start giving player generous bowl bonuses like they give coaches.

You might be onto something here. The payment structure could be tied to KPIs for student-athletes. To receive compensation, they’d need to remain part of the team through the end of the season. Afterwards is when the portal craziness opens up.

Yeah but it might be too late for that.  The media revenue generated by the bowls outside of the CFP have never been lower.  Now if they are getting a piece of the CFP money that might be a different story.  I just don’t see how the lesser bowl games make financial sense looking at the attendance.   Some of them will still remain somewhat important for their region but I pretty sure the “Plug in Large City’s Name Here” Chamber of Commerce will bend over backward get an event with less than 25k in attendance.  Makes me wonder if a multi-use indoor venue capable of seating 35k for a football game near Winstar or Choctaw casino would be worth the investment to steal a “Servpro Level” Bowl.

      A tiny bit of good news alumni-wise on a tough Monday. Kemon Hall promoted by Cowboys

      Understood. Sorry for your repeated traumatic football events. I'll be like you one day.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      Harbaugh was considered "too costly" by Gretchen Bataille, our President at the time. He basically used us for interview experience and got the Stanford job. RV basically realized that to keep his job, as always, he just had to stay in budget, so he hired Todd Dodge from Southlake Carroll, who brought over his coordinators from the high school to be our coordinators. The good news was that Dodge didn't cost us too much, so we fired him after he was deemed affordable to let go, as it only cost us $325k to fire him, after his spectacular 6-37 record. And thank goodness we didn't fire him after his third season, or else that $325k we saved by letting him coach again for a 4th season got us one extra win for Coach Dodge and it allowed us to have our best season since 2006, at 3-9. RV got to keep his job as AD for another 9 years after hiring Dodge in 2007. Even though he hired the worst football coach in our history (Dodge), the worst women's basketball coach in our history (Shanice Stephens), and a men's basketball coach that absolutely destroyed a program that had been in the NCAA Tournament and had a great 5* recruit herein exactly one season (yet still got 5 years to coach). He was only let go after the 17 boosters he had fleeced for years to pay for access to our program decided that paying off the contract of Dan McCarney for over $2 million immediately following the worst loss in modern college football history on Homecoming against an FCS program in Portland State 66-7 was too much to swallow and eventually saw him leave in the spring of 2016. No matter how frustrated anyone is with our athletic department right now, its light years better than it was back then.

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      Can't believe he murdered that boy scout. That CEO was on his way to save a bunch of children from a burning skyscraper too...

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      I have no idea what point you are attempting to make. The basketball team is doing fine at this point, have you already decided this won't be a good year before the first conference game? Likewise the new DC of football is not worthy, based on what?
