It's probably a bit of an upgrade, but not enough to make the move.- Realignment talk not going away
Definitely sounds like the Pac-12 is hoping to get more concrete media numbers and then going back after one or more of the AAC schools.- Realignment talk not going away

Good to hear, as UTEP fits better there.- Realignment talk not going away
I don't necessarily dispute that a playoff is better than bowl games, but all but two bowl games had better ratings than the FCS championship game last year. Obviously, you would expect a G5 playoff to get somewhat better ratings than FCS, but I think the bowls are buoyed by being in the same group as the P4, so people that wouldn't normally watch G5 teams will watch the bowls because it is all part of the same system.- Its happening (stadium renovations)

This is why the most reasonable explanation for the whole situation is that during the recruitment, Marion told Sluka that there would be a QB competition, but if he ended up being the starter, he would get $100k in NIL. That would explain why nothing was in writing. UNLV would have told Sluka that it could not be in writing because such a contract would be invalid, but they would put it in writing if and when he won the starting job. He won the starting job and kept contacting UNLV and the collective about the money and they kept blowing him off, so he left. Either Marion did not tell others about the promise, or they figured that they could come up with the money if necessary and did not. We will likely never know exactly what was said and by whom, but that explanation makes the most sense to me.- UNLV starting QB: fuck this shit, I'm outta here (check bounced)
We’ll never know either way. However, the fact that the NFL needed a rule to prevent players from getting drafted out of high school suggests that teams would be drafting those kids if there wasn’t a rule. Given how hard it is to find a QB, I bet Arch would have gone pretty high straight out of high school just on potential.- UNLV starting QB: fuck this shit, I'm outta here (check bounced)
Baseball is an interesting example, because I wonder how many more young players would get a shot in the big leagues if the compensation structure was not built so that teams benefit from keeping them in the minor leagues longer.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!

As long as you have cable (or a cable-like streaming serveice), it is probably better. It looks like CBS Sports Network games are not on Paramount Plus, so if you don't have cable, it looks like you're out of luck.- UNLV starting QB: fuck this shit, I'm outta here (check bounced)
If the NFL had to allow its teams to draft high school athletes (and they do not because they collectively bargained for the three years out of high school rule), they absolutely would draft high school athletes, especially QBs. In this scenario, they obviously wouldn't play in the NFL right away (although great WRs might play as rookies out of HS), but the NFL would develop a system to train them up and then play them when they are ready. Do people really think that not a single team out of the 32 franchises would spend one of their seven rounds of draft picks on Arch Manning out of high school? They would do it just to take the chance on the upside, because they are unlikely to get that chance if he goes to college, unless they have the number one draft pick. Like in the NBA, eventually the teams will start drafting more and more younger players just to stash them for the upside and to keep them away from their competitors. Of course, this will never happen, because the NFL prefers to forbid it so that the players can be developed by the colleges and they do not have to waste that money. The NFLPA also has no incentive to change it, because they would have to give up something in exchange and none of the NFLPA players are in high school or college, so fuck them kids.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
It looks like all 20 of the newly sublicensed games will be on CBSSN, while the six already agreed to will stay on CBS, at least according to Paramount. https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-sports/shows/college-basketball/releases/?view=110338-cbs-sports-and-big-12-expand-partnership-with-multi-year-agreement-for-additional-mens-college-basketball-games- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

I know that the NCAA is just trying to get Congress to give them more power, but interesting that they seem to be siding with the player here.- NIL Recruiting News Megathread
Not really the 4th string RB. He's the fourth leading rusher, but the transferring QB is by far the leading rusher and they seem to use three running backs about the same amount: But yes, it was clearly about playing time that he thought he was promissed.- UNLV starting QB: fuck this shit, I'm outta here (check bounced)
It looks like this one was about failure to provide the playing time he thought they were going to give him.- UNLV starting QB: fuck this shit, I'm outta here (check bounced)
I thought it was pretty clear that I meant "one of the favorites to make the playoffs [in the G5 spot]." Obviously the Vegas Odds you provide list them as third; others list them as first or second. That seems like one of the favorites to me. Even if they are the third highest odds - It seems incredible that they would have gone from not even imagining making the playoff to now having the third highest odds of any G5 school in only three games. - Realignment talk not going away
