The Big 10 is pushing ahead with massive private investment deal over objections from Michigan and USC
There is even some noise that Michigan is willing to leave the BIG over this, amazing . I don't think Michigan is wrong, PE kills everything it touches . Total Offense intended for any PE Lurkers floating around. I could see why some lower tier schools may want what they think are some low rate loans or whatever, but we all know this is just the first hit to get their knives into the house to cut them into pieces. Agree with @Francisco 2.0 there is 0 reason for OSU or other top schools to even entertain this. WTF are they going to do with an extra 133M anyways ?

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
I think this carousel we are seeing a bunch of coaches explore, but i think we are going to see an unprecedented stay in coaches at their current gigs . I think a bunch of the schools hoping they land a large fish end up going smaller with a black eye but for the better overall. The playoffs have opened some doors to smaller schools that simply did not exist before . Boise broke through last year, Tech is on the cusp, Louisville was on the cusp last year and this year. Why go to some big time program that will fire you for 9 wins, when your alma mater or some smaller school will pay you almost as much ? what if they give you 80% of the payouts for a playoff run ? I keep hearing HC are ego maniacs , well offer one a $4M deal with incentives for 10+ wins, conference championships, playoff runs, and national championships. you knock them all out, you get $15M , you get 9 wins you get $4M . Performance based pay, how good are you really ?

the problem is that this is considered collusion , paradoxically divorced from government employee regulation even harder from by NIL/NCAA issues. its going to take multiple top universities to start resetting the incentive structures, and there is a ton of FOMO out there causing them to act irrationally. i was really hoping sarks contract since he came in as OC would be of the style you're mentioning I agree way too much of the salaries are guaranteed salary, elsewhere in the world you have a mix of performance and stock incentives to balance the sheets .

both sides of this are way too quiet, and as @Tex Pete pointed out Aggy doesn't know how to STFU my guess is he's trying to both extort a historical elko sized jimbo++ package from aggy as well as see what his options are outside of college station. dudes going to parlay the shittiest season schedule ever for generational wealth one way or another though

SEC Catch-all Thread
- Tell Me About Texas a&m
got to say i appreciate all you misers in here being so versed in aggie lore no one even bats an eye at this shit- The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
I feel like the days of this are dwindling unless something major again changes with NIL or a major staffing evolution happens to support head coaches (yes i realize some are trying this GM model) at the top level, though we'll continue to see more long terms at smaller schools that don't have much money or success anyways. Right now the pendulum has swung from treating athletes basically as slaves to seasonal free agents, thats a rough gig to manage- Tell Me About Texas a&m
stupid sip, you have to start counting after 1974 but then also count our 1939 championship- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
yup, like wild card playin games that are coordinated into games that haven't been yet played for the first level If it happened this year it might be say Georgia vs OU and Texas vs Ole Miss , then the winners of those games play- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
and in general just because fuck ND- 2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
i don't see no shoes- 2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
I would hope Sark has kiffin on speed dial myself- Brian Kelly to L$U
I think the core problem is the fan base actually has the like the coach and this is rarely the case by the time they are fired. Coach O probably could have been reassigned to mascot and everyone would have been like yea that works.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
just to throw some gas on the fire , but vanderbilt doesn't even summon enough viewers to pass a flailing Florida https://sports.yahoo.com/article/sec-dominates-college-football-tv-174107770.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMT44GReEYWRCKRwrGG8Y5LTZtJjPwVqJenMoutot-UBnyB-w2pmxGkI2gc7mmuNSkWIRcEgxbBBiWPDIo3do6T_10IpXufTqcDaksF0gxG6corGMin4mSUJNyOnqpbVfaTxIyPmrDvzjvJacxpGuRRM3p3pUIOvA6wj9-8kd707- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Ohio state last year , and in 2014 with a bad vtech loss . 2007 lsu .- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Depends on ou vs Bama but yes- The Big 10 is pushing ahead with massive private investment deal over objections from Michigan and USC
Its not near enough to potentially put your school and athletic department at the mercy of some penny pinching, value scraping, PE vultures either. USC and Michigan are correct in trying to kill this, PE scraps everything for parts leaving them shells of their former selves.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Last thing aggy wants texas is at 9-2 and them having a game to give up for us to hit the playoffs- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
thats loser mentality Narduzzi- 2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
hopefully Kirby bouncing us twice last year has Sark digging deep on whats been working and not working , imo this game defines the rest of the season- 2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
The way texas has played down the stretch we can win. It depends on Sark insists on deviating from what working or leans into that. This is basically a play in game coming off a bye week. This tells us everything about our staff and our team- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I autocorrected but left it since you responded super fast. Maybe we move down to 3 after the SEC championship , but we'd be at 2 watching everything from a hot tub- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
It will be hilarious because if we win out A&M at Texas will be a top 5 match up. Texas would be ranked 2nd in the country and still miss the SEC Edit : r/wouldnt/would- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
There is no reality a 10-2 texas with wins over Georgia, ou , a&m , and vandy doesn't make it in. That's a set of wins no one in the country has anything comparable on. We'd probably be ranked 6th Either way getting there is the challenge. Take care of the wins and we're in. I'm still of the mind 9-3 is a roll of the dice and depends on what happens elsewhere- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Byu will probably be ranked 15 after that mess . Their saving grace is Virginia and Luisville both lost. Probably right on the other side of wherever Miami ends up Wish I had the old window cougar meme to post - Tell Me About Texas a&m
