Nice Article: Maintaining Success
What sucks about our NCAAT run was that had to be the year Covid limited capacity and pushed all the games to Indianapolis. It was anywhere closeby we would have had a lot of people travelling.- 2

"Hayden Fry NTSU Coaching Film Collection"
Corky Nelson was in 1AA about ‘83. Hayden’s were in ‘76 ( biggest guarantee NT ever got. Darrell Royal said if we were good enough to play we were good enough to split the gate. Also nice that President of UT was Loraine Rogers an NT alum). Earl Campbell beat us in ‘76 not UT (Miss. State clipped our best defensive player out of bounds and put him out for UT game). Jordan Case was QB for second Fry game against UT( about ‘79). We ran a reverse with a pass at the end of the play. The UT DB was soo confused that he tripped over his own feet trying to get back and a floater of a pass got caught at the one. Both UT games with Fry were thrillers. People who think we should have stayed in Missouri Valley did not know that the expansion committee in that league met secretly and added Indiana State and Illinois State when Fry wanted to add Southern Miss. We had the votes to get into SWC but TCU & SMU LOBBIED to keep us out. I was in NT President’s box for Corky’s game. UT Presidents box was right next to us. The UT President was profusely sweating when we were nine points up going into fourth quarter. Only time I ever saw UT students allowed around the end zone and on the field. The refs could not tell where the end line of the end zone was and called a TD even though they could not tell if receiver was in or out. Maybe the best job of scouting and coaching I have ever seen and we had 1AA limits on number of players which really hurt us in fourth quarter when defense was really tired.- 2

PAC is back
The PAC will have revenue outside the media contracts to lure potential new members: That money stays with the conference, to be used as the Beavers and Cougars see fit. The 10 departed members don’t get a dime. Combine the $100 million from the Rose Bowl with the NCAA Tournament units-based revenue (approximately $75 million paid out over six years) and the distributions withheld from the 10 former members ($65 million), and the Pac-12 should have $240 million or so available. And that doesn’t include the $24 million due to WSU and OSU from the CFP revenue-sharing plan (roughly $6 million each for two years). It’s enough to supplement athletic operations in Pullman and Corvallis, Oregon, fund the conference office and Pac-12 Enterprises and use for expansion-related expenses.
