The Bengals would incur a $56 million dead money cap hit if they traded him during the offseason.

Donate there and Bayou Traditions.

I just emailed with someone at TAF to get clarity on both the Team TAF and Football Excellence Funds as well as their association with Bayou Traditions.

He said TAF is no longer affiliated with Bayou Traditions and that BT still exists but isn't taking in funds.

As for the Team TAF and Football Excellence Funds, both basically go to support scholarships and various support expenses serving student athletes. Team TAF serves all student athletes across sports and does help somewhat with revenue sharing.

Their strength of schedule is a laughable #104. Even Van Buren would look like an all-star with that schedule. LSU's this year was #9 most difficult.

So, he's playing UNT-level competition with...UNT talent himself. It's not like he's been QB'ing Ohio State.
He still has shown consistent ability to complete passes in tight coverage windows and throws sn accurate deep ball. He has elite arm talent and processing ability.

He's not waiting to decide. He's waiting to announce.

ETA: just looked it up and if Lanning leaves Oregon he has to pay them $20 million

His overall buyout to leave for another job also includes the cash value of his Nike stock, which is estimated to be in the tens of millions. I've seen a couple of figures online that project his overall buyout to be close to or about $60 million total.

The Braves made $59 million in mixed-use revenue in 2023, mostly from The Battery. In 2024, that number increased to $67 million. By the end of this year, it's projected to be close to or about $80 million.

This is all considered non-baseball revenue, so it's not subject to revenue sharing. The Braves keep all of that and can plow it back into baseball ops. Other MLB teams are understandably envious of this and are studying how to try to duplicate the Braves-Battety model, at least to some extent.

Per On3, Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas are in the mix here. Texas has already landed 4 portal DTs, but it's not stopping them from pursuing Watson. Would love for LSU to get in the running here.

In UH's case, Kelvin Sampson and Tilman Fertitta.

Everywhere. Google is your friend. Astros are a pack of cheaters.

If you're going to tell someone else to consult Google for the truth, you should follow your own advice.

Google video sign stealing in 2017 and before. Here's what I found when I did:

-Tons of articles about teams accusing other teams of video sign stealing (none of the teams mentioned were the Astros).

-Several players who came forward saying they know first hand of lots of other teams besides the Astros who were video sign stealing.

-An anonymous MLB manager of a team other than the Astros who said video sign stealing was pervasive throughout the league.

-Carlos Beltran laughing at his new teammates when he rejoined the Astros in 2017 for not having a better system for video sign stealing. Showed them what the Yankees were doing when he was there and was instrumental in the Astros scaling their own effort.

Call the Astros cheaters all you want, because they were. But so were lots of other teams.
