SWAC finally on an even playing field


Nah…

Seen those crowds Jackson State had, but that has to translate to dollars and be repeated for a decade plus…

Then of course the rest of the SWAC can’t draw those crowds, their capacity isn’t high enough

The NCAA did bend. That is the issue they bent and the people wanted more. They allowed them to work, they allowed them to get Pell Grant money, they allowed them to get all kids of things. But people like Jay Bilas wanted more and more and eventually it killed the structure, not realizing what the structure had was actually right.

You cannot convince me Mitch Albom is not peddling lies about his Chris Weber stuff.

It is so funny everyone complains that the SWAC MEAC etc have been at disadvantages

You know since 1995 Russell, Nike, Adidas, and Riddell gave them 100% free equipment? Of course you did not because it does not fit the narrative. Every two years Russell went in gave them 3 sets of uniforms for every sport. Then in 2005 Nike Adidas and UA tied the shoe deals into uniform deals.

I want to know what SWAC MEAC teams did with the money they saved? What administrator pocketed that cash?

A little known band called Guardian had it right on their song "Break Me Down":

Bought me a bargain basement laboratory
With a rack and a humpback elf
Then I sewed together all the glory I'd collected
To immortalize my good self
Thought I'd build me a better Frankenstein
But the monster turned on me
No slobbering torchlit pitchfork mob
Could ever kill this vanity

then you have NFL Light....so its a lesser a product with what's becoming less and less affiliation with the actual school and traditions. It's going to turn large chunks of fan bases off.

Rumor is 2 million and a reality show


BarStool should go all in and sign deals with like 8 top players and get them to a mid level P5 school. Like Pitt, OM, UK, Oregon State. Something like that. Give them all a crisp million or so. Then recreate "House wives of Oxford" or some shite with all 8 of those players.

See if they can literally buy a championship somewhere.

Yes i know it would take more than 8 top players to win a Natty. But you see what i mean. Portnoy seems like the kind of guy that would do something like that just to mockingly break the system haha

Oh for sure. I don’t know what to think about it, I just think it’s inevitable.

This probably just put the NIL rule changes into 6th gear.

I can't wait to see how the media treats this one.

If they come out against this move, they will be instantly deemed at racist.

If they don't come out against this move, then they are having to admit the world is changing.

Check. Freaking. Mate. By Barstool of all places.

He secured the bag and is going to be in a reality tv show featuring Jackson State FB.

Solid decision.

In all seriousness, feel like these dudes will get pretty bored beating the shite out of these lower-tier schools after a couple weeks then transfer to a big D1

playing against shitty FCS competition is going to do nothing for his development.


Not even regular FCS competition, SWAC level talent. FAMU was the "best defense in the SWAC" and SLU tore them to shreds in the playoffs. If he were going to somewhere like NDSU that makes sense, but JSU is just dumb.

It is, but he's almost certainly going to take the big money, play 1 year at Jackson St, and if he is a baller, immediately transfer to a P5 program.

Somewhat off topic, but somewhat on topic...

Did anyone ever get a guesstimate on how much Ed Oliver got to stay in Houston?
