I can testify to the fact that Chandler is being offered north of 1 million dollars to play at Oklahoma State via their collective.

Just being testy but have they been? EM = SL even minor regression Hodge finished 7th after taking over NIT Championship team Stone looks solid will take another year to get tennis moving, Lama had very good players but could not keep them happy enough to stay in Denton, 2 very different coaching styles.

I think you need to research that. I highly doubt that was more than a made up rumor.

A favorite son should always have a home at his Alma mater.

I think that is a short sighted solution to minor temporary problem. My educated speculation is that financially the current bowl system isn’t sustainable long term. The lessor bowls without bigger brands in them aren’t a good TV product. And even watered down version of the bigger brand teams in are Not much better TV products. I don’t know when or where these other bowls games will be played so it is likely I will miss them on TV. I don’t think my perspective as a College Football fan varies that much from the average fan when it comes to bowl games in 2024. G5 is going to establish some kind of “NIT” alternative for teams left out of the CFP. Or bowl games featuring G5 teams 7-5 and below (who aren’t 3rd place or conference championship losers) are going to go away. So until that happens it is foolish to craft your team to make sure you retain players for your mediocre bowl games that will likely draw far less than the best home game on when people are still dreaming of bigger accomplishments. Being in a bowl game is no longer a good measuring stick of your program’s success. It literally means you are average. Recruits aren’t changing their opinion of a program based on a bowl appearance.
