Notes: This is a big recruiting weekend for Johnson and the Wave. In addition to Powell, among those scheduled to visit are McMain running back Joshua Rounds, McDonogh 35 athlete Kedrick Banks and Helen Cox linebacker Royce Lafrance. Rounds (5-11, 195) and Banks (5-9, 180) were All-State selections respectively in Classes 3A and 4A, with Rounds being named Class 3A's Outstanding Offensive Player after helping McMain win a District 10-3A championship and advance to the Class 3A state quarterfinals. The district championship and two ensuing playoff victories were the first in McMain history as was the advance to the quarterfinals. Banks earned All-State honors as a wide receiver, but also played running back, defensive back and returned kicks for the Roneagles. . . . Lafrance is a North Texas commitment. . . . O. Perry Walker wide receiver Raymond Jackson has added Tulane to the list of schools he is considering, Coach Emanuel Powell said. Jackson is making an official visit to ULL this weekend and has visited Florida International. Tulane, Arizona and Memphis are in the running for his second and final official visit next weekend. . . . Karr defensive linemen Leonard Washington and Darrian Dyson committed to Florida International on Friday, Karr Coach Jabbar Juluke said. Washington (6-1, 285) and Dyson (6-4-300) were integral contributors to Karr's second consecutive season as Class 4A state runner-ups.

Royce update, he is playing as a true freshman this season for Tulane and had 1 tackle in a 41-13 loss to ULL on Saturday. Tulane is 0-5 this season.

On an interesting sidenote, Tulane Coach Curtis Johnson shares Mac philosophy for recruiting high school players. The Tulane fans are disgruntled about this because they would like to see some Juco's signed to help ramp up the talent level so they can recruit better high school players. I thought they recruited pretty well last class but when you stick with high school players it can take some time.

We seem to have lost a few players to Tulane in the recurring wars this year. If Tulane goes winless ( a possibility) I wonder if any would reconsider

Seems doubtful to me. Johnson likely sold them on the fact that they would bad this year due to lack of talent (which is true). He has accumulated a pretty good recruiting class and I'd bet that he can hold them together.

I don't think Johnson hinted to anybody that they would be this bad.

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

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      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.
