Looks like we found somewhere to allocate some of the newfound dry powder.

That's good news.  He's a special athlete.  Plays too high like most high schoolers that are at a physical advantage, but he'll probably be a composite 5 star by end of cycle.  I saw him at a couple track meets, huge frame and explosive as hell.  Could see him putting on 50 pounds over the next couple years and reminding people of Shaun Rogers.

Shaun Rogers was a 350 lber. If Carlton adds 50 lbs that still puts him at 300. This doesn't feel like an apt comparison to me.

Who’s the last guy from Temple who was actually a college difference maker? Kenneth Davis? Joe Greene? Edited to add the San Diego Drop King, Quentin Johnston, who did well enough in college to be a high first rounder. And not hating on Ta’Quon Graham, good player for us and a great teammate.

I was about to say, QJ was a very good college player

I don't have a pre-teen daughter, and my face dropped like a fucking lead balloon when I realized that, I, too, understood your post. Fuck.

It has been so many years, but I vaguely remember that the high school knock on him was that he was lazy - but it was known that he had an NFL body.

It wasn't just the high school knock on him. That was the knock on him early in his college career, too. But with Casey Hampton as his teammate, that wasn't going to cut it. To Shaun Rogers' credit, he got on board with Hampton, and they turned into one of the most fearsome duo of DTs we've ever had, which is an extremely high bar, frankly.

I grew up with Shaun.   Christmas break of our senior year in high school we visited Colorado together prior to them playing the Holiday Bowl - he weighed around 282 (I remember this vividly because Doc Kreis, who was CU's S&C coach at the time said he could get Shaun to 300 prior to our Freshman year).   He didn't hit 300 and stay there until his Sophomore year at Texas.  When I saw Carlton he immediately reminded me of Shaun at the same age.

It's close.

All it needs is to require the networks to air XII and ACC games instead of SEC and B1G.

Well... that, plus require advertisers to pay the same rates for the XII and ACC games.

It's a win-win-win-win for errybody.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6414771/2025/06/10/nil-house-settlement-paying-athletes-deals-ncaa/

The new enforcement terms under the House settlement instruct college athletes to declare any third-party NIL deals worth at least $600 into a clearinghouse database. The idea is that the clearinghouse, dubbed “NIL Go” and managed by the accounting firm Deloitte, will serve as a restrictor plate on NIL collectives and pay-for-play, flagging deals that do not reflect a valid business purpose or fall within a reasonable range of compensation. Yahoo Sports reported that at the recent ACC spring meetings, Deloitte officials shared that 70 percent of past deals from NIL collectives would be denied under the new clearinghouse.

But in candid conversations, coaches and recruiting staffers have serious doubts that athletes will declare those deals, or do so accurately. Some have suggested that players are being encouraged not to declare deals at all, but to simply take the money and keep quiet rather than risk the clearinghouse flagging it. And if that’s the case, where do we suspect that money might be coming from? “I guess it would just be the same as the way things used to work,” lamented the athletic director, frustrated by those already angling to undermine the settlement. “We’d be right back where we started.”

History suggests that power-thirsty boosters paying athletes under the table is a tough thing to police — particularly after collectives spent the past few years streamlining the art of bag dropping. Now, instead of an envelope of cash in a player’s locker, it’s a direct deposit into their bank account. (The IRS might complicate that process under the House settlement, but that’s what payment apps are for.) “If some donor wants to wire a player $25,000 a month, who’s keeping track of that?” one power conference administrator said. Money wires aside, the system of boosters paying players is much more sophisticated and far less frowned upon, and it’s going to be impossible to put that infrastructure back into the tube.

Least surprising thing ever.

I mean Campbell is a dickhead, but I don't blame him.  The $EC and perennial cheaters should own the blame for this mess we have.

If these cocksuckers didn't cheat for decades then we wouldn't have all these shenanigans in the first place.

If you set up a system that rewards cheating, people will cheat. Hard to blame individual actors for a system that has never exactly functioned smoothly.

You are correct. Campbell’s head is an actual penis.

It would've stopped if they applied the same accountability to these programs that they did to SMU.

No, but Big Jim (Chris) is why we were there.  We also went up for a month in summer 96 - insane collection of football players at CU then.  I didn't go to LP, Shaun and I grew up in Bible Way church together, our dads were in camp together in Oakland and maintained a friendship and worked out together.  To this day, having played with and against some incredible ballplayers, Chris is one of the best athletes I've ever actually been around.  I wish he would've locked in.  Neuheisel took the players' coach deal a little too far and had no controls on that team.

I'm still fucking annoyed by that "article". Our society has a lot of sicknesses, but one of the most insidious is the widely held belief that being rich and being smart are the same thing. Campbell says it outright at the top of the article - "I made a lot of money, therefore I'm smart" - and a major news organization accepts that as a given and prints it without any critical eye whatsoever.

As for me, I'm over billionaires showing up and telling me that they, and only they, have the solution to all of my problems and indeed all of society's problems. In fact, I'm more inclined to believe the exact opposite. I guess I'm just in the minority on that, though. Certainly Matt Hayes seems on board.

You’re wrong.

Has any program had such great sustained success leading to such an outcome recently?

 

So is recruiting gonna get boosted by 3 playoff appearances?  4?  Will it even get a boost with a title?

Its clear the money is tied up or Texas decision makers don't want to commit money this summer out of fear.

 

We need to cleanse our minds of any success at all helping anything at all into the future.

Most national media members are valued on the amount of shit they spew, as well as the toxicity and volume they speak instead of quality or accuracy of their work.  

I have found myself listening to a national broadcast from time to time, say after an Astros game when working the garage, and I truly can't believe the shit that is broadcast.
