It sounds like we traded Riley for him.

Cooper Jones is 6' 5". I like the fact that he has confidence in his abilities to move "up", but if Cooper thinks D1 college ball is anything like Texas 2A ball he is in for a rude awakening. Very pleased to see this commit for the Mean Green. Sounds like the kid is excited to be part of the Mean green. Welcome Cooper. Also good that he is fairly local as his parents, grandparents, friends, etc. can come see him play...more rears in the seats. YIPPEE!!!!

Go Mean Green!

My guess is that what he was really trying to say is that the jump from 2-A to Division 1 college ball would not be that much different for him vs. a quarterback from 4-A or 5-A high school ball. Not that I agree with him, but I would guess that is what he was trying to say.

"I don't think it will be a big adjustment moving up from Class 2A," Jones said.

Football is football?

Cooper Jones doesnt have a high school plan, or a college plan...

He has a football plan.

What the hell? I know peace loving hippies suck, but can't you let it go?

Let what go? I'm just making the observation that SFA recruited him and Riley may transfer there. I really wasn't trying to be a smartass. But hey, way to take the high road.

He'll, I wanted Riley to stay. I also want him to succeed. It sucks that it won't happen here.

Cooper seems like a nice get.

When people say their comment is going to receive -1s, does anyone else find the red button irresistible? I apologize for any hurt I may have caused.

To the person who negged me: I did not say my comment would receive -1s. You are cold, man.

      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.
