rumors about realignment ...

Exactly. Evidently, the state of Kansas is lax on it's mental health. Hence this person is not locked up and you know restrained.
After today I know they don't like turn signals either. šŸ¤¬šŸ˜”šŸ˜¤
 
We announced our intention to join the Big 10 the summer of 2010. Go ahead and list all the impact players from Texas the previous 10 years. That covers 3 different coaches. Moving to the Big 10 had zero impact on Texas recruiting.

I don't hate Bo. It's just that he was tired of being here and most were tired of him. He was never going to take the next step. Didn't have it in him. Didn't embrace recruiting. Couldn't handle the pressure. Stubborn. Shouldn't have fired him without a better replacement. That is the lesson to be learned from our firings.
Absolutely correct on the Bo take. I liked Bo . But it was like a bad relationship and it was time for both to move on. The biggest problem was we had an idiot ( Eichorst) in the AD position and a bigger idiot ( Perlman) above him. They had zero idea on who to hire.

When comparing to Texas, look at the California recruits signed during the same period, from a state we didnt play in:

Maurice Purify
Marlon Lucky
Roy Helu
Quincy Enunwa
Dejuan Gomes
Eric Martin
Taylor Martinez
Carl Nicks

Several other guys too, like Thunder Collins, Cameron Meredith, and Ricky Thenarse. Guys who started but were ok at best.

But it was the lost Texas pipeline that hurt us. Lol. People will convince themselves of anything.

None of the CA guys you listed played on even a conference title team

Which is the entire point. Obviously.
 
There's good players everywhere. Some states have more than others obviously. Need a staff that stays together. Is successful and is willing to put in the work

I thought you might post some BS like this so here are your own words. You claim that the ACC grant of rights price is too high for the B1G. (which you donā€™t know to be true, you just made that up) Then you claim the infusion of cash from your private equity firm does give the Big XII enough cash to buy out Clemson and/or FSU. (also a fanciful wishful thinking/opinion)

Your own words portrayed the Big XIIā€™s Hail Mary pass as a financial advantage. (which once again isnā€™t true and just your uniformed opinion)
of course, that's not what i wrote at all. i said there was not enough additional (incremental) revenue generated from any acc school to justify taking them. revenue is not cost. and yes, the b12 cash infusion might be used to free fsu and clemson from their acc grant of rights. be that a "hail mary" or not, it's a reasonable option and rationale for bringing private equity. what i wrote:

there's not enough additional revenue for either conference to spend money freeing any acc school.
 
Haha. One of those Cali boys literally had a Nebraska small-towner hiding in a closet.
Yea. Everyone knows Scott frost is a pussy and an embarrassment to his family name and home state.

Heā€™s never allowed back in NE.

Larry was just doing what he saw the leaders of the program doing.

My manā€¦ you said what you said and I called you on it. Nobody needs you to explain, qualify or frame your statements. This whole thread is you convincing yourself that selling off part of your conference rights to a private equity firm is really actually a good thing. Thatā€™s been the theme and tone of everything youā€™ve posted ITT. (sometimes actually stating it in plain English, which I called you on)

But by all means, believe whatever you want. Doesnā€™t really matter to me, I just need to push back on your BS every once in awhile. Watching you double and triple down on stupid is mildly entertainingā€¦ (like a dog chasing his tail entertaining)

well, it is hard to debate someone who does not understand the difference between grant of rights cost and incremental revenue from the acquired assets. i will give you that.
 
Nothing can overcome the inherent softness woven into the very fiber of CA playersā€™ DNA.
What a dumb generalization about California and the West Coast in general. You obviously have not spent any time in West Coast cities. Nor have you lived in an area that has a significant Samoan population. I want to watch you run for your life as you hold onto your skirt running away from an angry Samoan kid after you tell him he is soft. Good Luck with that.

soft response from what I can only assume is a CA native

Well, leaving the ACC wouldn't make any sense then. Clemson and FSU are already the top dogs. If it's all about winning, why leave?

FSU wants money. The Big 12 payout is currently at $32 million. ACC payout was supposedly $45 million. It's going to be hard to make up that difference and then some, any way you slice it. How are they going to get Clemson and FSU into the Big 10/SEC range? Unless the Big 12 goes to unequal revenue sharing.
Why move to a much tougher league just for an extra $10 million a year? What can they do with $55 million (or whatever it would be) that they cannot accomplish with $45 million? Raises for the athletic department and increasing their budget? A leadership retreat to Bora Bora every winter?
 
Maybe this changes how recruiting works... MAYBE.

The current situation with NIL is not working so well to our favor. It remains to be seen how this changes if it is brought in house like some think will happen.

If you are in a league where 20 other schools are getting the same payments as you.. it's not a competitive advantage within the league.
I see a lot of mixed reports on Nebraska's NIL effort. On one hand you see a lot of complaining they we're not competitive and on the other hand you see reports by some people involved (Blake Lawrence) that Nebraska is very much in the top echelon of NIL. Without any factual reporting available (or required) it's had to sort through the contradicting statements.
 
Agree for the most part, but I could see a 40-50 team league where a Vandy or Rutgers or Northwestern is out and Arizona and Kansas are in.
A 50 team league isn't really a league any more is it? But then I guess leagues already aren't what they used to be. When Tennessee and A&M matched up in the finals of the CWS, we had two SEC teams that really knew nothing about each other other than matching up once in the SEC tourney.

If schools are truly going to start directly paying players then we will know soon enough who has the money and commitment.

But I assume there likely will still also be undisclosed NIL payments on top of whatever the players officially get paid by the school unless the players have to sign contracts giving away their personal media rights to the school in return for payment. But I doubt the contracts would require that stipulation. We'll see what evolves.
 
GTFO whacko. You wouldn't know a fact if it smacked you in the face. Go to the kitty board. You've overstayed your welcome... Pretty quick imho.
kford is a pretty reliable set of facts, used by many talking heads and elsewhere. they're not mine.
