I forget the guy, but a writer from The Athletic was on the radio yesterday and he did a story about this. He said he spoke with 10 ADs at big programs and 7 of the 10 said they would be in favor of it

Persia >>> Arabia
It’s a shame the Iranian revolution has effectively sidelined Iran from the world stage, and let the Saudis sink their claws into western sports.

Is there any substance to this or are people throwing shite at the wall? I’d imagine college football is somewhere after giraffe racing on the list of things the Saudis would blow money on.

If money were the end all be all in college football, A&M would have made it into the playoffs simply due to all their NIL guys.

It’d be hilarious if they bankrolled Florida International or some shite and bought all the blue chips for them

They already have a decent sized presence at South Florida, IIRC, if Sami Al-Arian is any indication.

So many examples of this in sports and business generally, I don't even know where to start. There is no thought any more to the good of the sport, the conference, the community, etc. It hasn't always been like this, but this is where we are.

First call Woodward makes is to Monahan. Let’s get him on the shadow staff.

Great. They probably love al-Abama.
