If we can get Freeman to head to the Giants the bidding war for Cignetti is gonna be nuts. Jimmy Sexton will own college football.
Michigan should throw 20 million at Ryan Day just to fuck with tOSU.

Who knew that Moore was talking about the postgame when he would say "we are going to jam it down their throats" in his pressers.

Wouldn't surprise me to see him go in the 3rd or 4th.

i men thats pretty much the opposite of whats happened so far in the history of college football. But you go ahead and bet on those odds
It is a natural progression. This was unthinkable up until the time when these athletic departments are all suddenly on the hook to start paying players while operating at a deficit or break even. Why do you think Private Equity has suddenly and stupidly become an option? The CFP and major bowls represent one of the few options for additional revenue to the schools that haven't been tapped. In the arms race, it will cost more and more money to maintain top rosters and make it into that field. It is only a matter of time before tOSU, Bama, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, etc start looking around and wondering why they have to split their playoff and bowl money with Mississippi State, Purdue, and Rutgers.
I was a year ahead of saying that playoff expansion was going to ultimately kill conference title games. I expect conference culling will be the next step, especially if networks start to get behind the idea of any type of a super league. The P12 blew apart because TV networks did not believe that schools like Washington State, Oregon State, and Cal deserved premium revenue to air their games just because they were in conference. They weren't wrong. In the next round of TV negotiations, they will be looking to drive down revenue outlays to conferences due to the money they are spending on the playoffs. That will put pressure on the pot of money going to each school, and in the absence of growth, there will be cuts to keep the top teams whole.
But you go ahead and bet on status quo. It worked out great for George Kliavkoff.

There are at least 40 guys I like to see back. Excluding graduates and early NFL entries, 40 seems right unless we're just totally writing off the notion of development and improvement across the board.
With the expanded scholarship limits going into effect, the SEC is going to be on a huge buying spree. This is going to be an expensive portal cycle and class. We will have around 30-40 spots to fill when all is said and done.

B1G can kick Nebraska out, replace with ND, and send Nebraska to the new PAc-12 or something.
All hell is going to break loose when these conferences look at their bloated membership and start cutting the bottom feeders to maximize profits.

All of this is revealing some deep fractures in NDs position , if even the ACC is too powerful for ND to counter they have serious problems. The ACC is one FSU from falling apart at the seams, meanwhile the SEC and BIG are sitting behind the curtains actually pulling all the strings.
I think its clear ND either needs to invest in massive organization apparatus in its AD to combat this sort of stuff, or understand the role of conference affiliation.
They've relied on "We're ND" so long, that a single shot against them is causing Chernobyl level meltdownProblem is, they are almost certain to go B1G if they do move to a conference. That would likely trigger another realignment war.

Hopefully he goes to his dad's alma mater and tears it up for the Wolfpack.
I was thinking Arizona State where he is from. He would do well there I think with Dillingham.

He helped make the shit sandwich when his team lost to Florida.
More importantly, we were 0-2 against BYE this season. That is the real headscratcher.

Day 5 of their OC search and the only names mentioned as realistic targets are Holmon Wiggins and Bobby Petrino. One thing nobody in aggie land has realized yet is Mike Elkos surprising lack of connections in the industry. Spending 15 years with Dave Clawson, Brian Kelly, and Jimbo Fisher really set him up for sustained success.
Petrino would actually suck. He would do wonders there if he was allowed to install his offense.

I’m with also Sark on this. He’s saying similar shit to Vandy HC. Shocker I know! 😱 It’s about the experience. It’s about the next 20 plus days for the team. Players can opt out and we’ve seen it all the time on every team. The team earned this bowl. Those who want to play deserve the opportunity. I get people are frustrated and it’s a lost season bc no CFP. But Texas and Vandy and other teams are taking the correct approach here. Notre Dame is just being a fucking bitch here. These top tier bowl games are not meaningless. They can be an effective recruiting tool. That’s just my opinion man. And we need the fucking practice and a chance to evaluate what we got going into next season and that’s the truth. We know dudes gonna portal or opt out or go NFL. We gotta evaluate what we have going into the portal shit. It’s our best tool to plug those upcoming holes. Jeez. Carry on. 🤘🏼
I agree with this, but man you can tell it is a shit sandwich for Sark to go to a bowl rather than the CFP.

IT posted some more portal/NFL notes this morning:
-Expect Tre Wisner back at this time. Simon and Clark are expected to return but not a 100% lock.
-Most likely Jaime Ffrench will be back. Aaron Butler is likely gone. "We’re interested to see how DeAndre Moore’s agent plays his hand."
-Would be surprised if Will Randle returned
-Expecting Trevor Goosby back at this time
-"Very likely" Hero Kanu will return. Watching Melvin Hills for a potential exit.
-At corner, they are watching Wardell Mack, Kobe Black, Santana Wilson and Caleb Chester
-"We believe it’s increasingly likely Jelani McDonald will return"
- Derek Williams and Johnson-Rubell are the two safeties they are monitoring
Wow, I must have misread the tealeaves on Ffrench. For some reason I was thinking that he was the one that ctj was implying that we just flat out missed on an eval last cycle.

I hate to do this to us, but it is just hanging right there..

PSU traded down and paid $9M to do so. No way anyone in their right minds pay $9M to hire a shittier coach. Matt Campbell wasn't even on PSU's radar because they didn't think they would have to settle for someone so low.
B10 coaches: Day, Lanning, Cignetti, Riley.
He's 5th if I'm being REALLY generous.
I will give you that, but I also doubt that he goes 0fer against those top coaches over multiple seasons.

This is the year in which some guys are going to truly learn their actual value, it appears. Texas is alleged to be getting aggressive at upgrading key spots and letting guys walk who think more of themselves than the market likely says they should. Moore, in particular, pulled some bullshit late last year and that pretty much destroyed all goodwill once he did jack shit to justify his contract this fall. Good luck with the "NFL", which I interpret to mean UCLA or Colorado or SDSU or some other program downgrade for moderate NIL.
Not saying Texas will go to the portal for WR, just offering Moore as an example of spots that can be upgraded, sometimes with development within, sometimes with standouts from the portal.
Didn't he pull some similar late stage bullshit on signing day? I seem to remember him coming to an agreement the night before and then holding our feet to the fire for more to sign.

The difference is...Campbell has that record at Iowa State with lesser talent than his opponenets, Franklin had it at Penn State with more talent.

Good hire for Penn State. Iowa state has 4 top 25 finishes all time. Matt Campbell has both of those and the only two higher than 15. They could have done much worse.
I cant find the post, but I called this a couple of months ago. Campbell is legitimately a good fit for that school, not sure why PSU fans are melting down about it.
