re: Cody Campbell thinks LSU would be protected with Sorsby, defends Texas Tech

That guy is a clown
He's a wealthy clown, so desperate to make Tech relevant, he helped pay $1,000,000 for a softball pitcher.
He's just another billionaire who thinks that he's smarter than everyone else and should have everything his way. He has fought the entire B12 conference leadership. He's a prime influencer in Cruz' misguided Save College Sports Act.
He has inserted himself as an oversized disrupter in the entire conversation.
Oligarch is going to oligarch.

The Big 12 has a number of remedies for punishing the Red Raiders. Which one will they choose if any?
The Big 12 is not a marquee league right now and Tech is now one of their leading programs. It hurts their attempts to be seen at a true power conference if they eliminated the team with the best shot of breaking through.
Cody is like oligarch, he thinks he smarter than everyone else and should make all the decisions.

Look in the mirror Runt.
LSU has three national titles in football in the past 25 years, Only Alabama and Ohio State can make that claim. We aren't delusional. We just have expectations and our history validates that those expectations are realistic.
I think the SEC Rant is more representative of delusion.

Don’t you think most of this board would be like Tech fans and defending everything?
Sure we would. We would advocate for whatever benefitted us. That still doesn't make it right.
Secondly, you're assuming that we would follow Tech's path. Maybe the administration would show some courage, conviction and integrity and accept the NCAA's ruling. Who knows, maybe we take the high road. (Doubtful)

The NCAA has been castrated. The courts rule college sports.

We sucked compared to the rest of conference. We got swept 4 times in SEC series. Five of the 8 teams CWS teams could be from the SEC.
We didn't earn it. It's not a guarantee or birth right.
Physically we didn't match up very well with other lineups and it shows in Supers.
Move on.
Football is around the corner.

The amount of homophobic remarks on the forum could be a sign of toxic masculinity; an incredible insecurity about one's own sexuality; or just be indicative that one is simple minded, ignorant and a knuckle dragging moron.

Does Jay not place enough value in Louisiana talent. Essentially, a Louisiana talent was a major reason we won the title last year. Louisiana talent formed some of the foundation for the 2023 title.
It's hard to question a guy who has won 2 titles in 5 seasons so I suspect this year will be an anomaly.

Is the Beth-Era finally going to be over?
Why would they? She just advanced to a Super Regional. LSU softball is perennially a Top 20 program. I think the University is willing to live with that.
Softball just doesn't rank high enough in priority to invest more. No one wants to pay the buyout and then hire another coach.
It is what it is.
I’m not mad at Wade but I’m upset at what college athletics has become.
Make no mistake, these kids who play for Alma mater U anywhere deserved to be able to make money off of jersey sales, autograph signings, personal appearances, etc and realistic revenue sharing.
Traditional college sports has disappeared. It’s now just athletic clubs sponsored by universities. It’s still entertaining but at least some connection between the athlete and school is riding off into the sunset.
So, I don’t blame Wade. He’s doing what he’s being paid to do. He’s working the non-system of ambiguous rules in the Wild West.
I think it’s probably just us older guys who’ve become jaundiced from the present and coming landscape of college sports.

re: I'll Admit it - I Have No Idea How Basketball Recruiting Works Anymore
Posted by JohnnyU on 5/12/26 at 4:06 pm to RummelTiger
I'm with you.
I really don't understand how you split hairs on recruiting professionals from overseas vs NBA, G-League professionals.
I've always thought collegiate athletes should be allow to make money from autograph signings, jersey sales, personal appearances, etc. That is what NIL was intended to allow. The NCAA screwed the pooch by fighting it for years, including ridiculous rules about free meals, etc. Mark Emmert did a great job at LSU but he was a complete and utter failure as NCAA President.
Now the horse is out of the barn. College sports, particularly college basketball, has become a more of collegiate club just paying hired guns overseas to play for pay. I find it less appealing and less about the University and athletic traditions.
Don't get me wrong. I will still cheer on my Tigers and be excited for every victory, etc. It just won't seem the same.

It’s been a disappointing season. Roster deficits have been apparent. Pitching, defense and offense have been underwhelming to put it mildly.
I was struck by the physical differences between UGa’s players and ours. They looked the part of a contender.
You really can’t blame folks for their reactions even if some of it is catastrophe syndrome.
Jay appears to have taken a wrong turn with his roster management but he recognizes it. I have no doubt Jay will make adjustments and get things turned around.

Neither of which keeps you from getting a job, which is college athletics now.
Sign the man up!
International athletes have to jump through some hoops (no pun intended) under the 5 for 5 proposal. I don't see how they can apply it immediately for the coming year.
I got this from a prominent law firm specializing in all of these requirements and rules.
* Register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
* Submit academic transcripts and amateur status proof
* Obtain proper student visa (usually F-1)
* Understand NIL payment limitations for visa holders
* Maintain timely academic progress per NCAA rules
"The F-1 visa remains the most common for international athletes. This visa category allows full-time study but restricts off-campus work, which complicates income opportunities from Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Other visa types like J-1 or O-1 may apply to certain athletes but come with their own rules and restrictions.
How NIL Affects International Athletes
NIL rights introduced in recent years allow many US student athletes to monetize endorsements. However, immigration law limits many international students from monetizing without violating visa terms. Proper legal counsel can clarify who may participate and guide athletes to stay compliant."
Holy crap on a cracker.

re: Nussmeier gets a bit of an unfair tag. Oline was horrible
Posted by JohnnyU on 4/30/26 at 10:08 am to Safety Blitz
He had a lot of limitations.
His injury.
A piss poor offensive line.
An even more piss poor offensive scheme and terrible play selection.
Zero run game. Defenses could drop 7 or 8 because there was no threat from our rushing attack.
Not a particularly great WR corp.
Nuss has some limitations but he's better than what we saw last year.

We better take care of business against Clemson..
Even though Clemson is "rebuilding", it's still going to be a tough game because they have quality athletes. Dabo has reshaped his staff. Lane has an entirely new roster and there is no "gimme" game to work out the bugs.
On the other hand, Lane has assembled the talent and what appears to be a formidable coaching staff. Someone called him an offensive savant and I believe that. He and Weiss will have a good game plan for certain.
Baker's D should thrive with the talent infusion.
It's in Tiger Stadium and the fans are going to be jacked.
