Some have noted that the $20.5M for the House settlement is a difficult lift for more ADs. Donations and severe cost cutting are needed. Just want to remind that there is another way. ADs can just get $20.5 M from regular university funds. Sure, it’s an ugly look. They’ll get over it.

Well, she has probably been to Columbus more times than anyone should. Every couple of year’s I like to pop into Conan’s to get a Whole Wheat Savage. -
I went to damned near every game in 2005. There would be 50,000 “#10” jerseys in the stands. Probably about $1M net to Bellmont and zip to Vince.
-
Thanks. I wondered if it was as simple as: OU’s AD, even after layoffs, can’t make their $20.5M nut without 1Oklahomah, and Bellmont better be able to make its nut without TexasOne.
-
Question- I understand TexasOne is staying independent of the AD, while 1Oklahomah is being rolled into their AD. What are the ramifications of each choice?
-
That thread supports my theory- numeracy is hard for most people.

I think Sark may care more about defense than Kirby cares about offense.

No, I try not to post in DT. Besides the ad hominem and appeals to authority, there are (as you well know) plenty of posters that try to win arguments by crying to mods about “shit posting” when they don’t like what someone is saying. On another thread, I got a one week ban for linking a WSJ op-ed (Immamac said it was “shit posting”; I guess I should have waited a couple of days for the news story). I don’t feel like responding in kind, so I find DT interesting to read, but not good for engaging.

Aren’t the networks the ones supposed to be hearing this? they can keep things as they are, or they can get behind changing the CFP and get more SEC games and a set of play-in games. I get it, too. Everyone likes to say Bama didn’t deserve to get in, because it lost bad at OU and also at Vandy. Ole Miss lost to Kentucky, so didn’t deserve to get in. Meanwhile, there was no one in the B12 or ACC with two wins as good as Bama’s and Miss’ beat two wins. Adding a ninth SEC game means more “disqualifying” losses.

Well, Joey, here’s what you do- you call them up and try to schedule them. Announcing into the atmosphere, “We want to play LSU home and home” doesn’t make it happen.

I have a couple of theories/suppositions… 1. Last year, NIL was all booster-funded. We focus on Texas, Buckeyes, etc., but those well funded schools are the exception. There were several dozen programs that probably barely scraped $10M, if that, for NIL. Now, with the House settlement, they are required to pay $20M from their AD. They have to spend that. That doubles the player pay for programs like Baylor (and the rest of the B12 and ACC). Frankly, I’m surprised we don’t see more pissant programs win a recruitment like this. 2. just because the pissant programs have to spend $20M, they don’t necessarily have an extra $20M to spend. They have to get it from somewhere- booster donations, budget cuts, university payments. We will see the B12 and ACC schools seek new ways to whore out for media payments. -
That’s ridiculous. Albanese is just a hardworking impartial mediator, calling them as she sees them. Oops. Hey, maybe she is just a St. Francis of Assisi type, with a caring heart for all life. Oh, but hey, she’s not an anti-Semite. It’s not like she goes around repeating hackneyed anti-Semitic tropes like Jews are solely motivated by greed …or that there is some kind of shadowy Jewish conspiracy… So, she’s just your innocent moral crusader supporting murderous terrorists in their quest to kill Jews, in support of the larger goal to suppress a Jewish conspiracy to make money by controlling the world. (Note- the spoiled quotes are just a sample. There are a lot more). There are accusations of financial impropriety, but that looks like penny ante stuff compared to what is out there and available (Sinwar was worth $3B when he died). I have to assume she is a true believer.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2025/07/08/cody-campbell-college-sports-texas-tech-donald-trump/84408951007/ Campbell wants to “fix” college football by having the SEC and B1G share revenue from TV. And Matt Hayes is as much of a dumbass now as he was 20 years ago, when he wrote that Reggie McNeal was a better QB than Vince.

Matt Hayes is still a shithead https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2025/07/08/cody-campbell-college-sports-texas-tech-donald-trump/84408951007/ Campbell’s “plan” is that the B1G and SEC share TV revenue with the B12 and ACC
