  1. they are going to hire a hybrid of Kliff Kingsbury and Case McCoy
  2. the law may have changed, but I do not believe it has and I thought that Texas State was at the $20 mark I am pretty sure that is what they moved it to when they voted to move to D1-A I agree is is not massive money, but it is per semester and every year so if you skip summer school you are looking at about $400 more a year X 4 years or $1,600 more....with summer school and the 5 year "plan" you can be looking at over $2,000 which as you say is not a lot in terms of the massive cost of higher ed now, but you have to start somewhere to keep the cost down and good luck getting rid of regular administrative bloat.....plus with the NIL now and the dorms, cafeterias, and training facilities for athletes regular students are starting to feel a disconnect....they are working hard for an education while being told those that play sports are getting "nothing".....other than a free education, free housing, free food, free medical care, some free cloths, a cool place to hang out, free tutoring.......and when you tell the regular students about all the "money athletes bring in" well some regular students are smart enough to ask "then why am I being charged for that I am just here to go to school" it is too difficult to look up all past legislation to see if there has been a change, but Texas and the THECB (who really has no power at all to actually enforce or stop anything) have done a poor job keeping the cost to regular students for athletics in check in 2022 UH spent $48,451,950 from the academic side with $8,513,075 in student approved fees and $39,938,875 just straight transferred......north Texas state $33,326,873 with $13,251,782 in student fees and $20,075,091 in transfers......UTSA $23,864,888 with $14,049,104 in fees and $9,815,784 in transfers......Texas State $27,402,513 total and $18,924,463 in fees and $8,478,050 in transfers so if you look at UH with about 48,000 students it is costing them on average $1,000 a year to fund athletics......UTSA $685.....with north Texas state in the past you could look at the increase in their direct transfers and their student to faculty ratio going up, their number of tenured and tenure track faculty decreasing, and the number of adjuncts and lecturers teaching classes and see a direct correlation
  3. honestly that is not as bad as it looks.....it was going to be a $1.50 increase per year for each of 5 years that adds up to a lot of cash for students......students were going to go from paying $480 to $660 a year and the reality that people ignore is UTSA (and others in Texas) transfer other academic side money in LARGE amounts besides the athletics fee and most students are not even aware of that......and in addition I am not even sure that fee increase was legal although the legislature and THECB ha done a poor job of regulating things.....there is suppose to be a $20 cap per credit hour (capped at 15 hours) for all public universities in Texas.....but as stated the G5 programs in Texas plus UH all break that by simply transferring additional academic side money anyway which is probably technically illegal and in the case of this UTSA fee unless there has been a change in the legislation it would be illegal to have a fee over $20 an hour right now UTSA is raising $500 million for the university and they have $380 of it at the half way point and $80 of the total $500 million goal is for athletics.....of course some of that will be in "life trust" hat will not actually show up until years later or it will be "software" or "services" or "equipment" and not cold hard cash, but they should be able to fund their athletics long term some other way besides more off the backs of students and academics or they need to rethink things.....plus they have better contributions from the city and county than any program in the state including Texas (possibly excluding aggy, but who knows what goes on in college station and who fucking cares) as for Traylor he is golden there and he is not going to jump to a dumpster fire just to jump and he should be able to compete in the AAC it is not like being Iowa State or Kansas in the Big 12
  4. I think there are still major issues that could arise between conferences and various media partners enticing or luring a program to break a contract to come to you is generally not legal and the conferences first obtain the money from the various sources (mostly media partners) and then distribute it so they have assets to go after.....and one media partner taking the content of another media company and profiting from that is an issue even i it was ESPN and the ACC and SEC SEC SEC that ESPN owns 100% of the content of the ACC can still make some claim of damages for ESPN breaking their conference apart or moving members.....the loss of home game revenues when bigger name programs are pulled away is a meaningful loss I think that is the main thing that is preventing this from happening.....the media companies do not want to be drug into this and accused of collusion and enticement and face the massive potential damages from that....which is why Texas and OU had to compensate Fox directly for the loss of a single years worth of games in addition there is simply the cost.....ESPN has the ACC for a good rate (really I think they have the SEC SEC SEC for WAY over paying and the ACC is about right), so why in the hell does ESPN want to face major legal actions and pay more just to move teams from one conference to another when they own the content already I think Fox, NBC, and CBS are happy with what they have and they are only going to take action if teams fall in their lap for the right price like with the PAC 12 and Big 10.....right place, right time, right price....clean break at the end of a contract and GOR and not even a conference exit fee to worry about
  5. USM is SunBelt FunBelt not AAC
  6. I have no idea of the arrested person was responsible for the shooting and the article clearly does not say that they were.....but people need to keep in mind in Louisiana they have the "120 day felony" and that means they need to bring charges AND bring you to trial in 120 days that was a big issue in Houston and other places after Katrina people from Louisiana were doing serious crimes and laughing to the Texas police about a 4 month felony or a 120 day felony not knowing that Texas (and most other places) can hold you for a lot longer and not bring you to trial as long as they can show they are still gathering evidence again there is no indication other than what the current charges are, but in Louisiana if they can hold you on one thing while looking into other more serious things it can be beneficial to not start immediately stacking on more potential charges I would think if they were looking for others they would be letting the public know that there are others out there they need to watch out for or that would be a serious lack of concern for the general public
  7. it looks like you were cold and since you said your son was born in Louisiana it does beg the question.....your dad would also be his granddad right?.....or are they doing things "differently" there?
  8. miss it Noonan!!!
  9. he this dude wins the Heisman then Vince Young needs to hire Sergio Kindle to smash his Tahoe into the Downtown Athletic Club
  10. so that 4th down play was "run a curl right up behind the defender" 🤪
  11. you can sleep in church...
  12. yea two ASU field goals and it is tied up
  13. ASU coach looks like any random frat guy from mid level state U that is about to throw up from drinking too much
  14. hahahaha that shit is "legal"
  15. incredible effort in that run
  16. fuck at least he held on
  17. Penix is passing like he has Peyronie's disease
  18. shit fool you were robbing him they had to throw the flag
  19. hell of a cut back by ASU on that run
  20. I thought that Ethan Garbers as Allison in The Breakfast Club was a really underrated performance
  21. I am just going to throw out the hypothesis that Stanford really sucks cocks at football....and playing in the ACC is going to be a fucking disaster for them
  22. no credit for the casistas? 🙃
  23. he has to be looking to get out of there....he left from OU because he knew he would have issues in the SEC SEC SEC....I do not think the Big 10 is near as tough as people make it out to be, but the fact is 3 teams are going to get the benefit of the doubt 100% of the time and what USC runs with lr is not set up to play in the Big 10.....not to mention the recruiting issues playing in the shit half of the conference and playing conference games a long ways from home against teams that traditional recruits that would go to USC do not give a shit about
  24. anyone know the story on this?......of course it is to be expected, but pretty pathetic if true
  25. fuck I forgot about that.....it was also stupid
