missed the last two months of his college season

He was injured in practice before their 11th game. That season, he was a Unanimous All American, Big Ten DB of the year, and Thorp finalist who might have won had he not been injured. He was a known commodity from his highlight reel 2022 and shut down half the field.

That hindsight sure makes seeing easy huh

DeJean was widely regarded as a R1 talent and put on film a lot of game changing abilities. He single handedly won games for Iowa and led them to the CCG without playing any offense. Pick sixes, INT, punt returns, tackles for loss.

Guy played multiple positions in the backfield at Iowa, who runs primarily 4-2-5 zone schemes, and teams that play a lot of man didn’t believe he could matchup outside and be elite. Simple as that. He’s a great fit for what Philly is doing with their zone. He also showed the ability to cover tier 1 WR outside at Iowa, albeit not as often as a guy out of Georgia or Ohio state. I think with the experience he has now, he’d be fine moving outside.

He had top ten metrics and film to go with undrafted skin pigment. Dude is an elite athlete with great size.

re: Are you embarrassed that Alabama is trying to cancel their '27/'28 games vs Ohio State ?

2 game series = bitch move

Cancelling OOC rivalries in the face of 9 game powerhouse league schedules = smart branding.

BYU might be comparable today, but if you think they are going to be measured up to USC as a program, you’re insane.

South Carolina is little brother to Clemson and has no hope of making the playoffs. They have played in 1 SEC title, lost by 39 points, and have never been invited to a major bowl. They need a game with Clemson. It’s the bowl game that matters to them.

Iowa state has a $25MM budget shortfall and their budget this year is trailing Iowa by $25MM. They have no NIL money, and the best coach they’ve ever had and only one to sustain any success just left—he was 3-6 v Iowa winning the last two with game winning 55 yard FG.

They’re never great, and usually a win v Iowa state means nothing to Iowas resume, while a loss is considered a bad loss. The two hardly compete for recruits, few marquee guys have ever chosen Iowa State over Iowa.

If you think this is a mutually beneficial game for Iowa in a 9 game league schedule, you’re a moron who knows nothing.

Iowa has no reason to keep playing Iowa State, but they do it for charity.

What is the big reason for Iowa to play Iowa state? It prevents them from ever scheduling any other major conference OOC game. It’s Iowa States big Super Bowl, they lump the game in with only season ticket packages and blocks of trash games to sell their tickets and raise revenues.

Iowa charitably agrees to gate shares favorable to Iowa state for the game only when they could bend them over. Iowa would have no problem scheduling more marketable games and enhancing its own season ticket package and pricing.

And Miami plays FAU instead of ND they aren’t in the playoffs. These strong OOC games are extremely useful if you win them.

Miami is in a trash league — which was won by a 7-5 team — that is teetering on collapse, and they played Notre Dame only because Notre Dame is kind of in that conference.

Iowa has no reason to keep playing Iowa State, but they do it for charity. Nobody going to be Notre Dames charity in this environment. They’ll be left with schools like Texas Tech and BYU who want the resume builders and can probably afford a L.

I was a huge nba fan as a kid, love holiday sports, but I have never sat and watched an NBA game on Xmas. I don’t ever remember the Bulls playing Xmas day—not that they didn’t, I just didn’t care. And I watched damn near all their games as they were on WGN in Iowa if not nationally televised.

This is the part where the power brokers collude to lobby for rules and regs and barriers and guardrails to protect the Big Ten and SEC and thwart the competition.

How so? I don’t think issuing regressive taxes to fund sports arenas is good practice for government and the best use of resources to serve the people that are paying for it. That was the point about them not making sense.

There’s opportunity cost you’re not even considering. Lot of shite can be built with public money if you’re not spending billions on stadia.

Arlington is still a dump, just like it was before the cowboys moved there.

Look at the city of Arlington as the number one example of these absolutely working. Sofi is going to work, the clippers new arena is going to work, etc, etc. You just made that up

Arlington gave $325MM at a cost of $500MM and Jerruh and the NFL ponied up the lions share. And they funded the bonds by issuing regressive sales taxes on their residents year round.

They also already had the rangers there as a good lure.

They all work, it’s just ordinary people end up funding it.

The play here is obviously ancillary events and indirect revenue. I think in most cases these subsidies make sense, $1.8 billion isn’t really that much money over 60 years if you get superbowls and Taylor swift concerts and shite like that. One Super Bowl will generate $100 million plus of economic activity. We can hate “corporate welfare” until we’re blue in the face but these franchises, their stadiums, and the surrounding industry that comes along with it are extremely valuable and will ultimately bring the state of Kansas a lot more in revenue than what they’re “giving” away

These plays almost never make sense and the government / people rarely get a reasonable shake.

Maybe in Vegas where you have other huge draws will people make it a destination. Nobody cares about seeing the new Kansas dome out by the speedway.
