I am very worried they could go after Ross!
Not likely. Ross doesn't have the track record their donors will require.

IIRC, both WKU and MTSU wanted to go accept the invite from the Mac. However, the MTSU administration told the athletic department there was no money for the move. Often, schools don't actually write checks for exit and entry fees. What happens is they forego payments from conferences. The MTSU budget was so tight they could not afford to forego any payments. So they were stuck. Because it was a both-or-nothing offer, WKY was stuck also. I would think there is a new level of hatred from WKU for MTSU because of this!

The NCAA has been consistently losing lawsuits brought by members since 1981. After 43 years of losing, they have found they MUST be spineless!

If you read Jim Williams's post, it's ALL speculative. Those are HIS ideas, not something currently in progress. FSU still has not found a way out of the grant of rights. Louisville is certainly questionable for the B1G - they wouldn't take OSU or WSU so I'm not sure why they'd take Louisville.
This COULD happen in a few years, but certainly no reason to panic like it's going to happen for 2025!

Yes, has done that for the last 3 games I have watched. However, today I checked and it was only happening on my smart TV. Computer and phone were smooth with no problem. Don't know enough about tech to know what the problem might be. Sure makes the game hard to watch though which is why I had my computer and phone ready to go today.
Thanks! Yes, it was my smart TV. Next game I’ll check the computer. Also reinstall the ESPN app on the TV.

Watching on ESPN+ and the game keeps skipping back 10 to 12 seconds. Anyone else experiencing that?

On the other hand, not many SBC teams we can beat with this program. 😢Could not even beat bad CUSA teams last season.
We're not talking now, the game they might be thinking of buying out is in 2027! And, no one at Tech has actually said they want to buy it out, just that they want to move to having seven home games each year.
EDIT - I need to stop trying to post from my phone!

Home games generate lots of dollars, not just for team and school but for the town as well. The City of Norman has been pushing OU for decades to drop the annual game in Dallas in favor of a home and home with UT.

Have you been to Ruston?
Boca Raton is no Ruston and that's not subject to debate.
Rust On is a good description of the town.

Three of the big heavyweights in sports broadcasting are joining forces for a combined streaming service. Here's a podcast that explains what's going on. As the Podcast states, "The dinosaurs are seeing the asteroid coming and are trying to do something about it." Here's the link.

Position coaches come and go. They always have and always will. That churn happens at all levels of football. This is not good news but certainly not “our season is done” either.

Cowboys and Rangers. Minor league hockey briefly and no NBA.
The Mavericks first season was 80-81. During the DePaul game, there was a lot of talk about how Mark Aguirre was likely coming to the Mavericks with the first pick.
The biggest difference was MUCH less sports on TV. ESPN has started, but didn't have any college football or basketball yet. The first lacrosse game I ever saw was on ESPN around that time. There weren't many cable TV options yet either - you had local DFW TV of 4, 5, 8, 11 (an independent at the time), 13, and 39. Channels 21, 27 and 33 had just signed on in 1979 but were Pay Per View scrambled signals after 7pm.
No Fox network yet. CNN started June 1, 1980. MTV started Aug 1, 1981. There weren't even any dedicated All-sports radio stations.
I was living in the dorms Fall 76 thru Spring 78. Going to the game was just what you did - it was the default evening activity if you lived in a dorm.

in a pitiful 10am Bowl in Boston
I understand what you're saying, but both the ACC and the American Conference list the Fenway Bowl as one of their top, non-access, bowls.

Don't forget, Memphis is supposed to win the conference. After all, according to them, they are a "legacy" member of the American Athletic Conference. Chew on that folks!
They aren't supposed to according to TeamRankings. FAU is the favorite to win both the regular season and the tournament, followed by SMU. Memphis is a distant third place!

The company that publishes SI fired most of the staff this afternoon. It's still to be determined if they are laying off everyone or not. I'd say it's the end for sure, but SI has a complicated ownership and publishing arrangement which makes it possible someone else will take over the publishing.

To insinuate that our coach did a better job than Deion did because he won one more game is absurd.
Not sure where or how you got the bizarre idea I thought Morris did a better job than Deion.
I just pointed out that historically, coaches taking over teams with 0-2 wins overwhelmingly improve on the total wins in their first year. Coaches taking over teams with six or more wins only improve on the previous year's record a little less than 1/3 of the time. Expecting Morris to improve our record in his first year is the same as expecting a 3 to come up more often in craps than a 6 - it is possible but not likely.

The Colorado coach won 4 games his first year, while taking over a team that only won one game the previous year.
Deion clearly wins that battle over our coach.
Yes, coaches taking over teams with 0-2 wins overwhelmingly improve on their predecessor's record in their first year. Coaches taking over 6+ win teams only improve about 1 out of 3 times. The better the record of the team you take over, the less likely you will improve in your first year.

Morris was brought in, and we all should have expected to IMPROVE on Littrell's failure. Immediately.
But that's not how it works. There was a multiyear study done back in 2012ish that found teams that fired a coach in hopes of getting a better record. The study was called something like pushing the reset button. The results showed that if a team had 0-2 wins, almost always there was an improvement. A seven-win team with a new coach only improved 1/3 of the time. If you look at the records of the new coaches from last year, you'll see these results still hold almost exactly.
Yes, there are always the outliers like Texas State. But those are the exceptions and a little over 2/3s of the time a new coach taking over a winning team has a worse record in their first year.
Drawing to an inside straight does work sometimes, but usually it doesn't!

The "I don't want a wrinkled hundred dollar bill" crowd is out in force.
We just got a kid who was projected to repeat as the starter of a school two years removed from making it to the National Championship Game. I didn't watch a lot of TCU games last year, but he wasn't the problem with the team in the ones I did watch. This is an incredible win for our coaches.

Our coaches must stop thinking they can outscore everyone.
I'm probably wrong, but I don't remember Morris ever saying anything like that.
