Looks like the return of "a win is a win."

On the plus side, really cool to see Brandan Walton not let this be his last game. We needed him to will us and he did. Fun to see.

This game really shouldn't affect anything. He's either going to be fired or he's not. If the bar is set so low that a win like this is a big deal for the program, well, he probably wasn't going to be

Interesting that the Rice fans seem to think their coach may be done after this loss. Benford really pulled off a win when he needed it.

If he does come back I hope he proves everyone wrong.

An OT win over the worst team in the conference probably just saved his job.

HIs job was safe before this game even tipped off. His job would have only been unsafe if this was Year 4 instead of Year 2...

Serious question.

If the AD doesn't give a f!#% about having a winning program then how can they expect the alumni, city residents, and the mean green nation to care either?

It can be argued that none of those groups care (enough) for it to matter, but this program WAS on the rise and fan interest was as well. So the program killer will be brought back to lead(?) us through another mediocre (at best) season before he can be fired. If this season is any indication we can look forward to another crappy home schedule next season to make sure we kick what's left of the fan base right square in the nuts.

Brilliant, just f-ing brilliant.

Because you're called the MEAN GREEN NATION. That's a through thick or thin type thing, but Benny needs to go. :)

If we are the Mean Green Nation, would Bendford be Crimea?

By now, you know the answer to this question. As you can read in my recent post on another thread--its a cost containment question. Everything else is secondary.

      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.
