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] quote: Some Bama folks here drunk on hubris here just seem to be of the belief that there's nothing Texas can do to get Saban to seriously consider their offer, and that Texas' pending offer is irrelevant. While that may be true about some Bama folks, I'm certainly not of that o...
[quote]ESPN is taking a bath on that boondoggle and has adequate motivation to shunt what should be a game of regional or national interest into a lower tier to prop up their bad investment. [/quote]Nope they are making money this year. When they got Comcast they now have 60% of the state. The next ...
[quote]3 SEC teams wouldn't get into the playoff. A 4 team playoff is definitely best for the SEC. [/quote]The belief is an expanded playoff equals another round of TV which = more money. The best financial terms for the SEC is a bigger playoff....
[quote]I don't see that from a SEC perspective. [/quote]You should, the SEC is pushing harder then any conference for it. [quote]Great, but no one wants to do a home & home with Texas if Texas is going to restrict their home game to a network no one wants to pay for. [/quote]That is a misconcepti...
[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. If they must have an at large t...
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. The ...
"what a lot of football fans, esp. non alums don't understand is that a lot of the university leaders, faculty and admin and even trustees really don't give much of a shite about football. sure they hope their school wins but certainly care far more about the academic reputation of the university ON...
"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." No offens...

For guys that haven't been head coaches yet, Kirby Smart and Scott Frost are getting a lot of buzz....
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...

[quote]You are exactly right. He is a great player evaluate. Also a great guy. There were people at A&M that wanted him to remain as HC regardless of how they preformed on the field just because he was such a good leader of the young men[/quote]When he was with the Texans, his kids went to school wi...

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

Posted by UT755LN on 10/1/12 at 8:38 am
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...
