I think the well-made point is with all of the money we hear being thrown around; you would expect to see more players in commercials and public appearances instead of the minimal "appearances" or social media postings that are there to meet a requirement to hand them money.
The people forking over money for NIL probably don't want to fork over more for commercials, since that money could be spent on more athletes.
If I was bankrolling NIL deals for UNT I would make the players endorse Morrison's Corn Kits.

If Rogers doesn't start, will he still get the NIL money? I heard that most of the time, NIL money promises to transfers are conditional.
It is against the rules to tie NIL money to performance. An athlete has a name, image and likeness regardless of whether he plays a down of football, and that's what the money is buying. It's like paying Randy White to endorse SKOAL.

Does it suck he didn't stay? Yes.
But he should always be remembered for the NIT championship, CUSA championship, CUSA player of the year and NIT Most Outstanding Player honors. He scored over 1,000 points in 67 games and the team went 56-14 in his two seasons in Denton.
We need more players like that even if they eventually get lured away by deep-pocketed rat bastards higher than us in the food chain.

I am not surprised. He proved himself to be a great coach and motivator in FAU's run to the Final Four last year. After watching his post-game comments as they climbed the bracket I was ready to run through a wall for him.

I think its safe to say they will both be in the SEC, and that deal would be way more lucrative then what they are earning in the ACC, and ultimately worth the exit fee. The ACC media deal becomes an option for ESPN after 2027, and with out the heavy weights, ESPN may not want to pick up that deal.
There's talk that the SEC doesn't want them because of what it already has in Florida and South Carolina.

*NEXT CONFERENCE* "So, here are our exit fees. Are you okay with them, or are we supposed to account for future realignments for you?"
The conferences FSU and Clemson would go to don't use a grant of rights to lock schools in. They don't have to because it would be crazy to leave all the money behind.
The SEC only costs $30 million to quit, which makes the ACC shooting for $500 million pretty funny. SMU fans must be telling themselves that if they end up in a PAC-2 scenario, at least their two-member conference will have $6.5 billion dollars.

Do we turn down hosting Notre Dame because they may bring a lot of fans and might beat us?
I applaud you for using the word "might" instead of "will." That's the kind of moxie we need more of around here.

The four-page grant of rights is going to fail. It isn't going to lock schools into a TV revenue death spiral with the ACC.
Every football power that has wanted to leave a conference has ended up getting out. These lawsuits will be settled with the schools agreeing to an exit price they can live with.
The ACC adding SMU, Stanford and Cal is one of several moves where the conference helped itself at the expense of its top football schools. It brought the ACC's per-school TV revenue down, increasing the gap between the ACC and the Power Two.

Here's more news that will be of no concern at all to SMU fans: Clemson has also filed suit to get out of the ACC grant of rights.
The ACC adding SMU, Stanford and Cal to stay above a school minimum isn't sitting well with Clemson or FSU.
QuoteThe league, currently at 17 members, is required to have 15 members to satisfy the ESPN agreement. Falling below the number opens the door for the network to end the contract — one of the primary reasons that the conference added three schools (SMU, Stanford, Cal) last year in a controversial expansion movement not supported by three members (we’ll get to that later).
Those three schools significantly lower the ACC's average TV audience per school.

Interesting Nick Saban quotes in this ESPN article:
QuoteI thought we could have a hell of a team next year, and then maybe 70 or 80 percent of the players you talk to, all they want to know is two things: What assurances do I have that I'm going to play because they're thinking about transferring, and how much are you going to pay me? Our program here was always built on how much value can we create for your future and your personal development, academic success in graduating and developing an NFL career on the field.
So I'm saying to myself, 'Maybe this doesn't work anymore, that the goals and aspirations are just different and that it's all about how much money can I make as a college player?' I'm not saying that's bad. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying that's never been what we were all about, and it's not why we had success through the years. ...
People wanted assurances that I was going to be here for three or four years, and it became harder to make those assurances. But the thing I loved about coaching the most was the relationships that you had with players, and those things didn't seem to have the same meaning they once did.

Nice to see Patrick Cobbs moving up. A lot of would-be tacklers are going to have green tire tracks on them this season.

Great to see some North Texas gear above all that worthless junk from OU and UT.
I haven't seen the logo before that looks like a kicking tee with a cowboy hat. How long has it been around?

We had an open home date. Wyoming had an open away date. The two ADs talked and scheduled a game. That's why we play Wyoming at home.
Very matter of fact. Now tell us where babies come from.

Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham was asked about coaches leaving college football and complaining about the state of the game.
"I literally spent nine years of my life doing anything to become a coffee boy. So don't give me the 'Oh, it's hard to be a coach right now.' Yeah, it's hard. Then quit."
We used to have someone in UNT football with that kind of moxie. I wonder where Diet Coke Man is today.

Schools like Northwestern and Vanderbilt among others will permanently (perhaps they already are anyway) field losing teams with no chance for any Championship and will solely participate for any revenue sharing.
I've been expecting the Big10/SEC/Fox/ESPN fatberg to drop the cellar dwellers like Vanderbilt to make room for a few more money machine programs.

I blame fracking for our foundation troubles.

What Wyoming brings is a respectable G5 team that has been to four bowls the past five years and won three of them. Gimme more home and homes like this.

You could work for Apple. Apple makes billions but you make only what you agreed to be hired for, not how much Apple earns.
Apple would pay me what I am worth to Apple.
I would not work for Apple in exchange for a free college education.
I am fine with college athletes being paid salaries, job requirements, benefits and limits on when they can switch schools. That would be way better than the NIL and transfer portal free-for-all. I like athletes getting paid but when they can take the money on Monday and quit the sport on Tuesday that's all kinds of wrong.

There's blame to go around. The ADs offered crazy money because it took crazy money to land a top coach.
Have any of those coaches given back a big chunk of their salaries to the betterment of college football or student athletes?
When people give me a Puking Eagle for a comment like this, I can never tell whether I made them puke or the state of college football did.

The players are Students, not career employees. They are getting free education in exchange for playing their sport.
If playing their sport was only worth a free education, Nick Saban wouldn't have amassed $150 million in career salary as a coach. There wouldn't be all these billion-dollar TV broadcast deals.
You can't let that kind of money flood in and expect your actual product -- the players -- to be doing it without significant monetary compensation.
There are a lot of college sports where the players only get a free education. Even some tiers of college football. We could all start watching them instead and say to hell with the P5, er P4, er soon to be P3.
Instead of doing that I'm trying to get over my fear of needles so I can get me a Chandler Morris back tatt.

Saban saying that a coach's contract is an example of solving the problem is hilarious.
Coaches began this money grubbing era of no loyalty by getting ridiculously huge salaries and leaving their jobs the nanosecond a bigger one came open.

Good luck with the legal argument that the GoR, willingly and lawfully agreed to by every ACC member institution, is unenforceable.
The legal weaknesses of the grant of rights have been known for so long law review articles have been written about them. Here's one from the Harvard Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law covering all the different mistakes made in the four-page contract.

I don't underestimate it. I just accept that it is the way things are until somebody figures out how to bring more order to the chaos.
Bigger schools damage us. We damage smaller schools.
