Are the benefits of the SEC worth not being the kings any longer?
I heard an anecdote about an A&M booster pushing the AD for them to join the SEC back in their South Western conference days. The AD supposedly responded, "Are you crazy? It's hard enough for us to beat Texas in this conference. Over there, they've got five Texas teams!"
Lord only knows the veracity of that.
But I think that sums up my response. The SEC is tough, always kind of has been. OU and UT only make it tougher. Don't know if there will ever be a 'king' in this conference now ever again.
No regrets. It was a natural economic response by both sides.

Congress can't just change the law either. It has to be a change to the Constitution.

Thanks for that. My company read your post. Not long after, I get called into HR and informed I'm being given a huge raise. They didn't try and negotiate or anything.
You know what this means ofcourse. In the next day or so, Campbell is going to be getting a big extension. I wonder if some of these coaches (or their agents) aren't spouting some of the 'leaks' out themselves.

I actually don't think this is that bad of a hire. He won't tear it up. But he might get them having regular winning seasons after a couple of rough-start years.

Both. And more administrations to come. Nobody on this board is going to live long enough to see those files unsealed and unredacted.
There was a song I didn't recognize and asked on a music forum for help. I described it as a song by Kool and The Gang, and I only knew a few lines. It turned out to be a song by Simply Red (!?!?!?).

I've always thought this would be the ultimate trick play. Act like you're just running out the clock before half, and throw a strike to a wide open receiver for the score.
Leach tried this once while he was at Tech. The quarterback faked kneeling while all of the other players were just standing around idly acting like they were ready to trot off into the locker room. And they actually got the play off, but the refs called the play dead assuming the quarterback had actually kneeled without paying attention to the fact that he actually hadn't. Leach was furious. Don't know how long he let the refs hear about it at halftime. It was hilarious.

How do you OU fans feel with the absence of Bedlam?
I personally miss it. It was a great part of our regional and local traditions. Sure in football it wasn't so competitive in wins/losses - and that's the big 'eye test' sport I suppose. But it was actually composed of far more than that, spanning all of the sports we had in common, where it was considerably more competitive. And some of those links are still there. It was a natural fit and a lot of fun.
I'm not foolish enough to claim that without OU, OSU would stand as a regional power on its own. Admittedly, I did think that was a possibility, and there may still be some potential on that front if they can get a coach who fits better into this era of college sports. However our histories were to some extent intertwined. There were moments where we pushed each other to greater success, either directly or indirectly. I wish we had kept the game. I wish we could get a permanent series again established. It's not going to ever happen, so that's it.

I would guess most coaches hate NIL and just deal with it as a necessary evil.
*shrug* It's part of the game. The good coaches integrate it into part of their style of player recruitment, development and management. The not-so-good ones, or good-but-don't-want-to-change ones, get fired.
Eventually, there will be a generation of coaches who only know how to coach in this world. It's the way of things.

You would think a school could take that off the table with a GM or underling handling NIL.
The issue is that he wants to recruit players that want to come play for him, and that he thinks he can develop into somebody who can help him win a bunch of games, especially beating OU - not someone that some GM or underling just threw a bunch of money at.
I don't know that he can't adapt. Maybe he can. But I'm pretty sure he really doesn't want to.

If he went back to Virginia and took a $40 million loss to do so, then I won't think he is smart enough to be a head coach.
I doubt he's doing volunteer work at Tech. He'll get paid and he knows it.

The Sherman Act, and all anti-trust laws, are Acts of Congress. If Congress passes a specific act allowing schools to police NIL contracts with boosters, as proposed in the House settlement and the SCORE Act, that specific act will override all general federal anti-trust statutes, and pre-empt any state claims, too.
Congress (and even the Executive to some extent through EO's) can extend and elaborate those rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. This has been done through labor laws, anti-trust laws, commerce laws and regulations, etc.... But Congress cannot repeal or 'override' those rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. And I'm amazed at how many people keep arguing that this is somehow a thing that can be done. The Supreme Court will smash with a firm gavel any attempt to do that to pieces - unanimously. As they should, since that's what they are there for.
quote:
And, all of that will survive a court challenge because it will be enshrined in statute.
Until the Supreme Court unanimously strikes those statutes down because of those annoying pesky 13th and 14th amendments.
Now if Congress can find a way to repeal those amendments, then what you suggest might be possible.

One of the reasons I wanted to walk out in the late evening when visiting Prague was because of Mission Impossible.

I also wonder how long before the Tolkien Estate starts to try to squash this stuff, and whether it might lead to them releasing some of the other works to become movies before someone beats them to the punch.
I'd be pretty surprised if the Tolkien estate gives much of a crap about this kind of stuff. There's a diluge of AI Tolkien related content out there and it's only piling up. Now if somebody tried to monetize it main stream... That would be a very different story....
