How much NIL would he have made if he would have stayed at NT another year? I'm sure it wouldn't have been a quarter million dollars, but I'm sure it wouldn't have been nothing, either.

We all figured he'd be making a jump this offseason. But to Michigan?!? That is a huuuge leap.

Clemson files lawsuit against ACC over 'exorbitant' exit fees
Mean Green 93-98 replied to NT80's topic in Mean Green Football
Exactly. Otherwise they never would have gotten in, even with SMU's substantial bribe. -

Mean Green 93-98 replied to NT80's topic in Mean Green Football
"Was SMU in the conference at the time, depreciating the ACC from a quality P5 program into a laughingstock/craphole?" "No." "It would be cruel and unusual punishment to force you to be in this situation. You are free to go with no exit fees, and SMU's donors will be required to pay your legal fees as well as to repay your emotional distress." -
UTSA hires Austin Claunch
Mean Green 93-98 replied to cousin oliver's topic in Mean Green Basketball
As pathetic as UTSA's basketball program has been, this guy has a solid resume. Solid enough to make me wonder why he took that job instead of waiting for something decent to come along. -
Doesn't even look like Rogers will start at Cal
Mean Green 93-98 replied to peanuts104's topic in Mean Green Football
The NCAA? The NCAA never paid a coach's salary, and still doesn't "share any of the revenue" with athletes. You feel free to get over NIL and collectives; that's fine. The only way I personally will get over it is by quitting watching or supporting college sports altogether. If I want to watch professional sports, I'll watch professional sports. -

Arch Manning doesn't count. The dude was a superstar before he ever sat on the Longhorns bench. Undoubtedly the most hyped recruit in UT history, and that's saying something. The other is more along the lines of what I'm looking for. But it still doesn't negate the main point that BY AND LARGE, NIL is being illegally used to entice recruits to attend a particular school, rather than to allow businesses the opportunity to strike mutually beneficial deals with athletes to promote their products. -

Examples showing actual national superstars really don't count. Their endorsements hold clear value, comparable to or exceeding what a high-profile professional athlete holds. What about these benchwarmers pulling in 6 figures a year NIL? -
The Future of UTSA Men's Basketball

Why in the world would the head basketball coach at WKU leave for UTSA?!? -
2024 March Madness Thread
Mean Green 93-98 replied to Matt from A700's topic in Mean Green Basketball
That's quite clear. They're on an altogether different level than Iowa State is. -
A similar observation I've made over the years is that whenever a team is clearly outclassed on the court, their whiny fanbase will say, "These refs are absolutely atrocious."

They've done plenty lower and slimier.

(3/6/2024) Texas FBS Power Poll: UNT #10
Mean Green 93-98 replied to Glory to the Green's topic in Mean Green Football
Um, Morris passed on Texas State, not the other way around. And we are paying Morris far more than what Texas State is paying their coach. Now, you may want to argue that we would have done better to hire the guy Texas State hired. But that's a different conversation. -
(3/6/2024) Texas FBS Power Poll: UNT #10
Mean Green 93-98 replied to Glory to the Green's topic in Mean Green Football
"Uninspired" isn't the word I would use. It was a fairly aggressive, high-risk/high-reward kind of hire. He did some very nice things on the offensive side of the ball. His DC hire looks questionable at best, and one bad hire can undo a lot of good. But maybe Caponi can get things moving in the right direction this year. If so, we could realistically be an AAC contender in '25. Probably not what a lot of people were hoping for when we replaced a coach who may well have been able to do the same, but I'll take it if it works out that way. -
Pretty sure he was mostly just a kickoff specialist at Baylor. So without doing a quick search, I am confident that he kicked more FGs at NT than he did at Baylor. And I imagine he will be primarily referred to as a draft prospect from North Texas.

Looks right on the money for us. UTSA is too high, though. -
That would have been Gary DeLoach by that point. But no, the defense didn't improve much, if any, under him.

Did MTSU make the right decision in staying?

Refresh my memory--did the MAC invite MTSU? -
Where is Chico when you need him?

It was figurative. The idea was that everyone was all in. -
Memphis, Tulane, USF to the ACC?
Mean Green 93-98 replied to Hunter Green's topic in Mean Green Basketball
All those matchups tire fans already. But we have already seen that these decisions aren't being made based on what fans want (or on what's best for student-athletes, or for the integrity of amateur sports, or for increasing the competitiveness of the games, etc.). It's all about dollars for Disney--and dollars from Disney. -

There's not a chance the B1G takes Louisville. Even the Big XII passed up on Louisville because of their lacking academic reputation. -
‘25 WR Braden Blueitt - Colleyville Heritage
Mean Green 93-98 replied to 97and03's topic in UNT Football Recruiting
I don't know that there has been an actual study done on the subject, but I have definitely seen comments where a recruit mentions how early a team starts "showing him love" as a big factor in why he chose that school. -

So are you saying our staff blueitt on this one?
