    I could see that B1G and PAC would like to see ESecPN's monopoly on the CFP end and get other broadcasters (NBC, Fox, Amazon, etc) in on the bidding, both to drive up the revenue and to potentially mitigate ESPN's constant swallowing of the SEC, which is reaching Gary Danielson levels. That at least makes some sense.

    The ACC? I dont understand what their play, given their rights are 100% ESPN for the foreseeable future.  Maybe they don't want the SEC filling more playoff spots and risk falling further behind? Given that the league has been "Clemson and 13 Dwarves" for a while now, you'd think they'd want expanded playoff slots. I don't get their stance.

    Perhaps with an expanded playoff and even more SEC inclusion with UT/OU adding to the preseason hype, a quick nod from the mouse and the ACC gets raided by SEC on their march toward 24 or whatever.   
     

    if the B1G were as ambitious as the SEC we would probably have north and south super conferences of 24ish each.

    That was the fucking joke, or part of it,  guys. Fuck. It was a total play on their pomposity combined with their full lack of self-awareness.

    You can tell the whole thing still works because when it comes up, people still believe it was them and then start critiquing their idiocy in putting it up. 

    In all fairness, it is EXACTLY something they would do.

     It’s kind of like if someone saying Charlie Sheen went on a cocaine fueled bender and said something outrageously offensive, or made a fake account for ketch claiming his ham dealer retired.  Just something so believable it hard to believe it’s not true.

  3. I remember when it happened and when they said UT fans did it, I tried the googles and only saw speculation.   Based on the aggy/SEC billboards around the state and banners at ABIA it seemed par for the course.  
     

    Carry on.

    Okay, looking through SECRant, holy fuck do they all hate aggy with the a passion - like on a level of hatred that a lot of us have for OU.

    They just flat out fucking despise aggy and think aggy is the biggest chickenshit cowards in the SEC.

    That kind of rejection has to make the aggy nation really sad.  They could handle being the punchline of jokes, but just flat out being told that they aren't SEC-worthy and have humiliated the SEC is....

    Holy fuck, I went over there and two things simply amazed me.  
     

    1.  The aggy and pretty much everyone else believe 8T4 did NIL bigger, faster and better than everyone else.   The most “rational” of other fanbases just say everyone will copy aggy NIL and things will revert to the mean.  
     

    They don’t understand or know Texas NIL laws I guess, offering HS kids to make them an LLC and pay them a large sum of money and then calling it NIL is not legal.  It’s paying players under the table.  
     

    2.  Aggy actually claims it was jealous sip boosters who bought absurd billboards in Florida when aggy joined the SEC, masquerading as aggy boosters.  
     

    only an aggy would think anyone gives that much of a shit about them, and only an aggy would believe that bullshit

    How in the blue fuck do Kirby and Jimbo get a $SEC-free pass to drop bags everywhere and keep the heat off them from Birmingham, but the minute Hugh Freeze tried getting it rolling in Oxford, he got slapped down and ran off?

    Is there some sort of lifetime access only Saban assistants are granted?  If so, will Miami return to 'convicts' era ball soon?

    Kirby knows his place in the world, don’t beat Saban and it’s all good.   Jimbo won’t win in Tuscaloosa next year, that would be a slippery slope.  

    How long will aggy continue to accept 8&4 with that obscene contract?  There is a way out, for cause.   This recruiting class MNC has certainly bought him more good will with the cult, but keep losing 3 or 4 and beat Saban again?   That’s a recipe for losing $95M.

    Think about it this way.  The only other school with more than one 5 star commitment is Alabama which has 3 of them.  A&M now has 5 with I believe 3 more possible so they could finish with 8 5 star players.  Once again, no other school other than AL has more than one.  It makes total sense that A&M would out recruit schools like Oklahoma, Clemson, Ohio State, Michigan, etc….what with that championship winning tradition in College Station.  What pisses me off most about this is that the NCAA will do nothing about it at all.  At this point Jimbo could come out on National TV and say “Damn right we paid players to come here, millions in fact, and none of you can do a damn thing about it”, and nothing would happen.  

    Not according to composite,

    aggy has 6, Bama 3, UGA 5, UNC 2, LSU 2, fOSU 2

    Not sure. A good guy friend of mine met him in a restaurant. Said he couldn’t have been nicer…he also said (and y’all guys know a friend like this in your group of friends) that he is the “repeat the same story friend” super nice and full of jokes just the type that whoever you see him is like, “so we’re out there on the green and this…type guy. 
     

    I think he’s cool. I hate OU. I never have disliked him and I did enjoy his radio program where he would absolutely thrash the SEC. But as my friend said and other people who know him, he is the friend that tells the same stories and everyone is “Ok Bob”

    That’s because his life revolves around college football and dicks.   He just doesn’t have a lot of material to work with so the stories are repetitive.  
     

    One day, at football camp, I stuck a skin flue in my mouth.  Ya Bob, we know.  

  9. Is anyone going to tell them they have to actually win an MNC before they can have it vacated or nah?

    they have gone so far overboard this cycle even the toothless NCAA might have to do something.  
     

    There’s a few posts at texag about NIL and the consensus is they are way ahead of everyone because immediately after announcement they started a course on how athletes can market themselves.  Somehow that course is the entire basis of their NIL program and it’s crushing it.  
     

    The single poster who appeared to be in the know simply said “It’s working, so don’t ask questions”.  

  10. Is theee any more noise around Day to NFL?  Hopefully we are done losing recruits there and they finally duck up a hire   They are way overdue for some desert wandering  

    just saw a billboard on S Congress  “what’s the point of 300 days of sunshine a year if you’re inside working all day?  OHIO”.  
     

    that’s the pitch for that place?!  Don’t live somewhere nice and have a job, move to our shithole state with shitty weather because it’s cheap and you can burn couches instead of working!”

    lol

    Welcome to Tuscaloosa, Offensive Analyst Meyer.

    (Disclaimer - I have no sources and this is mostly a joke but y’all know it’s gonna happen.)

    Nah, he doesn’t need to be an analyst.  As stated above, if he wants back in CFB he will be and will be highly sought after.  
     

    the GOAT Saban just picked up his 2nd undefeated season in 2020, it’s that hard to do.  Meyer has also done it 2x and won at every college stop.  He also has a better win% than GOAT, 85% vs 80%

    It was bags not NIL

    They don’t understand the difference.  Many think they can now pay recruits and they dont realize there is a compliance component.    Giving a recruit 20k for an autograph is illegal and giving that to a current player or transfer is not market value   

    and to the above discussion, aggy probably does crank out 3/4 million per decade when you add in their grads, anyone who took classes there or any of their system schools, Blinn JC, people who live in Katy, and any others who identify as aggy.  

    They are becoming so prolific with diminishing standards that just about any redneck can claim to be aggy and no one will question it, particularly if they wear their high school class ring around.  An old friend on mine went to Bryan HS, a year at Blinn, graduated SWTSU, and fully identifies aggy.  It’s a real thing.

    They have some big money that’s desperate to see them win before they are gone.   There’s one billionaire who was in school there last time they won, and that’s all it takes to fund a big time bag game if they are ready and willing.  

    Wow, they still have an aggy that was around for the last one?

    Actually got the guys mixed up, both were alive then, the one in school died already.  
    clear channel founder was alive but probably doesn’t remember them winning shit.

    Focusing on having the best NIL platform/structure in CFB will probably be the most important priority going forward. On a Macro level, Texas has the resources and capabilities that very few (if any) can compete with. We need to be the gold standard. 
     

    HWH appears to have a very nice structure to it. A base pay for scholly athletes not only incentivizes players to stay, but attracts potential portal candidates from elsewhere to come. Theoretically, this should all but guarantee a very high floor (in terms of talent) for the entire roster.  
     

    Bagmen aren’t going away. As long as a tactic works, it will be utilized. You will still have bidding wars amongst schools (bagmen) for the very elite recruits. If someone wants a person bad enough, they’ll over pay to get them. The NCAA most certainly isn’t going to do Jack shit about it. 
     

    It’s very early in all of this still, and appears to still be in a “price discovery” phase. Aggy isn’t the only ones with bagmen, but they obviously paid more than all others were willing to go in this cycle (for more than just a few). They’ve essentially set themselves up to either match or increase the amount every subsequent year. The key question is how long they’ll be able/willing to sustain this. 

    They have some big money that’s desperate to see them win before they are gone.   There’s one billionaire who was in school there last time they won, and that’s all it takes to fund a big time bag game if they are ready and willing.

    It's about half a second from set to snap and it's absurd that nobody calls it. I would be cussing up a storm on the sideline if I were an opponent. 

    Does the motion guy have to get set before he goes into motion?  Because I wouldn’t even call that a half second.
