$8.97 Billion in total Ticket Revenue at FBS Public schools over the last seasons.

The following schools don't report to USAToday (private schools or some Pennsylvania public schools): Notre Dame Stanford USC Duke TCU Miami Baylor Pitt Northwestern Vanderbilt Syracuse Boston College Wake Forest BYU SMU Temple Liberty Rice Tulsa Tulane
Plus, Army & Navy don't report to USAToday, but Air Force does.🤷‍♂️

Below are the Conference (or realignment grouping) AVERAGES based on 2024 conference home (unless otherwise designated):

Texas/OU: $320
SEC: $211
Big Ten: $167
2022 Big12: $155
All "P5": $147
UCLA/OR/WA: $146
ACC: $127
Remaining 8 Big12: $100
2023 Pac-12: $98
ASU/CU/UAz/Utah: $91
All FBS: $83
Big12: $82
Cal/OrSt/WSU: $58
Cincy/UH/UCF: $36
MWC: $28
AAC: $24
All "G5": $16
CUSA: $10
Sun Belt: $11
MAC: $7

OBSERVATIONS:
-The bottom three of all P5 schools were Oregon State, Cal, and Wash St. It's clearly a factor as to why those schools don't look like enticing adds to any Power Conference right now

-Florida State's $126M was surprisingly low, ranking 5th among ACC public schools and below the ACC average of $127M. They were behind Clemson, Louisville, UNC, NCSt and 25th nationally (which would put them somewhere in the 30s when factoring private schools.). Those bad FB years really hurt them at the ticket box.

-The disparity between the highest and lowest schools is striking. In fact, Texas & Ohio State together have more Ticket sales revenue than the bottom 52 programs on this list (From SDSU on down) combined.

-Big12 losing Texas/OU & adding 3 G5 teams brought down their averages greatly (Houston and UCF were both only at $31M; however, all the new schools are reporting huge surges in ticket sales at higher prices since joining the Power Conf ranks.) Adding the 4 corner schools adds stability as their average was only slightly lower than the remaining 6 Big 12 public teams, and above the average of the 9 public teams that are staying in the Big12 after this year. Also, some of the Big12's likely biggest ticket sales schools weren't included due to being private: TCU, Baylor, & BYU.

-17 of the top 20 schools are in either the SEC (11) or Big 10 (6).

Kamara RB for New Orleans used as a running back and receiver. Has 15 TD's on the year. 617 yards rushing and 510 yards receiving already. Can Maurice Washington do that?

Ty-9
Singleton -8
Newsome -6

One more week of offseason shitposting fellas. So, when you look at the RB room, who do the players remind you of?

Gabe Ervin: Devine Ozigbo. Big and fast, had a lot of hype early in his career without much substance yet.

Rhamir Johnson: Terrell Newby. Great kid and teammate. Speed is the name of his game and capable of catching out of the backfield. Newby maybe had a bit more wiggle while Rhamir has a bit more power.

Anthony Grant: Ameer Abdullah. Great all around back, punches above his weight. Fumbles are an issue. Grant doesn't quite have the vision and bounces outside too much, but their physical abilities I think match up well, especially the lateral quickness.

Both teams were awarded a national championship after finishing the season undefeated. But who would have won if these two teams had played each other in a championship game?

Time for another edition of conversations with Clouse live chat from 7 to 8 PM. Let’s see those questions!

Dear Old Nebraska U - 31
MinnesOta - 17

LFG

I'm back on this Sunday for the third and final day of the Ameritas Players Challenge with No. 5 Nebraska (2-0) taking on SMU (1-1) in the finale. Right now, Utah State leads Lipscomb 2-1 after taking the third set. The Mustangs have split the first two games of the tournament as they swept Lipscomb on Friday before losing 3-1 to Utah State last night.

Nebraska has steamrolled its way through this tournament as it took care of business against the Aggies on Friday night where three freshman made their collegiate debuts. That included Bergen Reilly who became the second ever freshman to start at setter for NU. Here's that recap:


Last night we saw much of the same in a sweep of Lipscomb, but head coach John Cook threw out a different lineup as junior Ally Batenhorst got the start at OH over Lindsay Krause while freshman MB Andi Jackson was in for Bekka Allick. Jackson was the newcomer that shined as she hammered down eight kills on a .700 hitting percentage. Here's more from last night:


Plus, here's the weekend preview to get you set for SMU. It's the battle of the Batenhorsts today as Ally takes on his sister Casey who's a serving sub for the Mustangs.

WWL with Cook:


Finally, how Cook is embracing a new perspective for 2023:

Hey guys - So I'm brand new to the Land O' Lakes area (just a hop skip and a jump north of Tampa) and am looking for a watch site. Apparently there are two of them, one at a Buffalo Wild Wings and another at a bar not too far away. Anyone here familiar with these two and have an opinion on which is better or if there's another site I'm unaware of?

OK… Just finish watching “BS High” on Max. It’s pretty fascinating documentary about a dude who created a fake high school in Ohio, recruited a bunch of kids to play football, and ended up getting a game telecast on ESPN where they got demolished.

As I said, found it pretty intriguing so far. One of the first things that jumped out at me…at the 6:30 into the first episode the head coach/head con-artist mentioned that he grew up, watching the Jets, and the likes of Pepper Johnson, Brian Cox, and Frost. I did a double take…I thought; surely he had to be talking about another player named frost…so I ran the DVR back…and sure enough, there was number 47 Scott Frost. How this dude could mentioned Johnson, Cox & Frost in the same sentence, I don’t understand (except for the fact the first two are also euphemisms for a “dick”).

One of the other thing that has struck me so far, is that the shtick of the head coach/con-artist depicted in this documentary reminds me a lot of a certain coach “Prime”.

In any case…pretty entertaining. I would recommended it.
