re: "LSU can't compete with _______ in NIL" is a false narrative.
Posted by UT755LN on 7/1/22 at 12:18 pm
LSU is dramatically behind aTm and UT money wise, honestly so is the entire SEC. Without some kind of salary cap that levels the field the game is going to turn into who has the biggest budget.

[quote]What about Les, what are you hearing about Les?
[/quote]
I think Texas is clearly putting a premium on guys that have won championships. Since that is a criteria, I think it would put Les on the list.
Les was at OSU and knows the Big 12. He recruits well and would be a force in Oklahoma,...

If Texas is really ready to go $7mm or more per year, their effective list is almost everyone in college or pro football.
I think the coaching choice is going to be driven by the timeline. If you look at the guys playing in the BCS championship game, it is in their best interest to string Texas a...

[quote]I hate the inclusion of the three at larges. Those teams already had their shot and letting in three per year is a really disproportionate amount - plus it will just be three name programs per year instead of people really looking at who had the best season.

The Division 4 concept is closer then people think. There are a lot of reasons to do it but at the end of the day the driving force is money.
I am guessing of course but it will eventually turn into something like playoffs in other sports and you would go from 4 to 8 to possibly 16 games.

"As far as recruiting, no offense, but I'd take the top recruits from Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana any day over the top kids from Texas. Texas high school football produces too many soft kids who run the spread -- AL/GA/LA produce the monsters who have made the SEC what it is today."

1) If Texas beats Baylor and is co-champ of the conference, i am not sure that Brown goes.
2) Assuming Brown does go, it is foolish to think that any coach out there might not be in play. There are people at Texas pushing and the right coach could end up being the highest paid coach in college or...

I am going with Art Briles. I don't think that Gundy will leave OSU because 1) He played there 2) He thinks he can win it all there 3) Pickens and other alumni will pay him whatever they need to to keep him.
Briles on the other hand is looking for bigger and better things. Just a little history, ...

Bowl game question

I know there is a ton of football left to be played so this is very premature.
Hypothetical 1) If Bama wins the SEC Championship game over the SEC East and gets invited to the BCS championship game, does the Sugar Bowl get to pick who they want from the SEC or do they have to take the loser of th...
