imo this is just the next step towards college football becoming a minor-league NFL. NIL and collectives still matter but the playing field will be much more level. Think about the NFL - why doesn't every free agent go to NYC or LA? Why don't random fans donate money for player salaries? Because the money directly from the team is the biggest factor by far.
What's interesting is to see how different schools allocate the $20mm. First of all, no one seems to know for sure if Title IX applies yet. Beyond that, do some schools go all-in on smaller sports (ie Duke with basketball, Vandy with baseball) or do those same schools use this as an opportunity to actually get good at football (ie Duke/Vandy putting all $20m to football would suddenly make them a serious contender).
As for the "where will schools get the money from when their athletic departments are losing money" question...schools will just lose more money in athletics and subsidize it from other places. Sticking with Duke and Vandy examples, both are small schools with endowments in the $10 billion range. $20mm/year is a drop in the bucket, especially if it is partially offset by additional revenue from winning.
Bottom line - this feels like a complete ground-shift in the college sports landscape. We're gonna see random P5 schools suddenly pop up as contenders in a variety of sports depending on how each one decides to allocate this.

I agree - I’m just the messenger. Perez cost Sainz 2nd.Yeah so basically Sainz braked to avoid a collision on Perez, costing himself two spots and saving Perez from penalty, and then Perez is the one who benefits from the Sainz penalty which was a way less egregious version of the same thing. Seems extremely dumb

Can someone who knows F1 better explain why Sainz got a penalty for going a little deep in one corner but Perez didn't get one for totally barreling through the first corner which cost Sainz two places and could've taken out multiple drivers? And then of course Perez is the one guy who benefits from the penalty lol
Also nothing for Piastri after squeezing Sainz off the road on the prior lap?
Seems wildly inconsistent to me. Also looked like Piastri still had plenty of room outside of Sainz when they crashed but he turned into his back tire.

Brooks and Sanders together again. Do they have OL?
They signed 2 new starting guards in free agency so should be a lot better, at least on paper. According to PFF at least

How does your GM still have a job? And is he on some kind of bender? In the last few months he has:
1. Passed on Bill Belichick in favor of Raheem Morris
2. Gave Kirk Cousins $45mm/year, same as Mahomes makes
3. Despite 2, reached for a QB at 8th overall
4. Traded a 3rd rounder to move up 8 spots in the 2nd, then reached with that pick

At safety he has a feather in his cap. Recruited and developed a first rounder at Notre Dame.
He had a couple high draft pick safeties at ATM too. Like 2nd/3rd round

He really should be a safety coach.
Agree. Been saying from the start that it was weird Sark hired him for CBs

I haven't been following the team as closely this year so can someone succinctly explain why everyone is so up in arms against Pierce? Seems like he has been good other than this year. 3 CWS appearance, pretty much always top 10.
I like the Clemson coach Bakich if he does get canned. Comes from the Corbin school, took a Big 10 to a runner up finish, now doing well at Clemson. But first get ATM to give Schloss a Jimbo-level contract lol

Mark seems like a baller on both ends. Pope would be awesome and Larry seems like a good pickup. Add Weaver and Tre Johnson and that's an excellent 5-man rotation at the 1-3 positions. Three stud scorers and a few stud defenders.
Then just need 1-2 more bigs.

Yeah I don’t know either. It looks like 1 (COVID season from 2020-21) but does he also have a medical shirt for the year he only Played 7 games?
Burnt Orange Nation report said 1 but the Arkansas reports when he entered the portal all said 2, so yeah idk
edit: looks like he did get a medical redshirt - Tramon Mark - Men's Basketball - University of Houston Athletics (uhcougars.com)
-
How many years eligibility does Mark have left? I've seen different numbers online.
Looks like Larry and Kent only have 1 year.
-
The cancelling future years thing is definitely weird. Maybe that was a Diggs requirement to go along with this peacefully. Regardless, I liked the deal a lot before this news but that 2nd round pick seems a little pricey for a 1-year rental.

That Shead injury sucked. Probably my favorite non-UT player to watch this year and seems like a really good kid. I'm no UH fan but they win that game if he is healthy. Hated seeing that happen.

Hunter is a good defender and good when he can get a head of steam going to the basket. His shooting is average and his handles/creating bad for a PG.
If he could bump his 3pt shooting just a few %, he'd be a good 3 and D type of 2-guard. We definitely need a true PG though and multiple guys who can create things on offense since Abmas and Disu are gone.
tl:dr he can be a good role player but shouldn't be asked to run an offense

Don't they already have a lot of cap space right now? Not sure why they would need more. Not many big names even still out there

Does anyone else think the buyout is really small? 10M in year one and it decreases quickly.
Yeah that is very surprising. Basically pointless at that level, wouldn't be a problem for any big program. Gives Sark all the leverage in any future negotiations.

Most of Surly the past two years: Sark sucks, fire him! Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot!
Most of Surly after one top 5 finish: You're a pussy if you don't think it's smart to give him a deal at the same level as multi-title winning coaches like Kirby!
Y'all need to stop riding the roller coaster so damn much. Year 1 was too soon to judge him but claiming he's a slam dunk now because of one year is also foolish. He definitely deserved a big raise and 10 isn't crazy, but history has shown that long-term fully guaranteed deals based off one good season are not wise.
Regardless - idk if this means it is fully guaranteed, hence the original question. Will also be curious to see what the buyout is if he were to leave. Hopefully it's a lot higher to help prevent renegotiating again soon.

So is it all fully guaranteed? If so, we just gave him a fucking Jimbo contract...

Looks like BoB is getting the most public buzz for the BC job right now. That would actually seem like a good hire for them and makes sense given his Boston ties

So what’s next for Saenz? Is there just a driver swap and he goes to Mercedes? One of Ferrari’s big sponsors, that’s closely affiliated with Saenz, just left for McLaren but they are currently in good shape driver-wise. I’ve seen Sauber/Audi and Aston Martin mentioned as real possibilities.
That's what I want to know. What about Red Bull for Perez? Although I saw somewhere that Sainz/Verstappen didn't have the best relationship when they were teammates.
He'd win a lot more races at Red Bull but obviously be clear #2.
Mercedes would be interesting.
Sauber/Audi seems like a big risk. He'd be #1 but their car sucks at the moment, no chance of winning races.
Aston Martin would be cool if they could ditch Stroll but that'll never happen because pops owns the team.

Sorry, couldn't help it. But yeah this sucks. Do we even have a GM? Seems odd that he'd leave

I think there will be way more parity. The percentage gap in payroll between the UGAs/UTs of the world and the TCUs/Northwesterns of the world is about to shrink dramatically. Same reason a small market like KC can build an NFL dynasty while the NY teams haven't won shit in years.
One question - does every P5 school HAVE to pay out the full $20mm per year? My understanding is that they do but I'm not sure. If yes, even more parity. If no, then some schools will drop further back but you'll still have some new ones pony up and become competitive.
