increasing travel costs in leagues that draw flies to games, have no tv deals, and have very little alumni support is a bad recipe.

I had to look him up on his twitter feed and it's a link in there.

I read his first book and thought it was fantastic. Excellent and very quick read. Every teenager should read it at the very least as a warning.

I bought a KD Shark shirt this morning. Hope we can all chip in to show that they're supported at UNT.

Herbert really likes him too, great relationship. He's going to stick in the league and make money. Hands got better as the year went on, and he made a great 4th down catch in the last loss against the Raiders last year. Herbert is starting to trust him.

This type of player movement will only drive interest in college sports further down. We saw the same thing w/ the one and dones. It sounds like it's such a great idea, but part of the allure of college sports (or sports in general) is watching players grow, earn their time, and become great. You get to KNOW the names of the players on most teams. Other than UNT, how many of you know any players on any other teams anymore. I grew up knowing the starting five for every Big East and ACC team. Ratings and attendance are dwindling across the board!

wow...he just dropped new gear on his website too....these seems very strange.

Prob about 50 or so. Nothing too specific other than updates on recruiting changes, nil, need for support for the student athlete. Grant talked a lot about how he only recruits kids willing to put team over self, and how much they all care about academics. All stressed how well the kids are doing as STUDENT athletes. I was fired up enough to commit to buying season tickets for all 3 sports even though I’ll have to donate most of them.

Went to the meeting Houston tonight. Haven’t been to one in a long time. Got me really fired up. Good to see Seth show a lot more life than he does in press conferences. Grant is incredible speaking to groups. He’s a funny ass dude!! If you’re in Austin, make the effort to go. They welcome the support and it’s really well run.

great pretzels at Karbach. I'll be there!

Done!

How they think will be good for the long term success of the sport is beyond me. Funny how they consider a 24-40k a year education nothing.

NIL has deadened my love for college athletics. I didn't think that would be possible, but I don't care nearly as much as I did a few years ago because of the nonstop transfers and the money...it's no longer the same.

I liked his decision making the last half of the year when he kept the ball running more. Just gotta make the simple throws!

is Addaway (sp?) projected to be ready for fall camp?

50/50 plays are instructed to go to the offense, so it’s got nothing to do with them being Virginia. The lead might have been a bit wide to get the proper angle on the play.

hosting I hope!

Just find someone that can complete a high percentage, keep chains moving, and can be a threat to run! We're not asking for much are we??

Definitely some pot shots at the Murphy twins.

I'd hope they would've had a conversation before moving to such a different position than QB. Can't imagine him having the build for that position. How do we miss so badly on a player's ability to play QB???

I think it's pretty cool Rick is still involved.

I’m not having any issue with stadium. Looks and sounds great.

Can't believe I have to miss it w/ the game 20 minutes away. I have to ref @ Nicholls State. May try to hit the women's game on Sunday.

As a coach told me while reffing a basketball game, the kids don’t want to be coached anymore…they want to be praised. When I saw Bennet lay into one of them after a personal foul, I instantly thought portal. Sad.

The tough part of the Southeast being number 1 in football is that they are mostly very small media centers. The tv sets in the midwest, NE, and west coast are tuning out in large numbers. The lack of balance in college football is going to continue to drive viewers away. The portal and NIL are turning alot of people off of the sport just like the 1 and done turned people away from college basketball. All of these things were designed to help the student athlete financially, but it's hurt many academically and viewership will continue to decline for football and basketball.
