Walking in from the parking lot today I heard two older men talking and one of them said, “I like North Texas games, it’s never loud in there.”

So now we’ve reached the point where they have to say they are NOT leaving? The expectation is that they leave? What a disaster college football is becoming.

Becoming?

[NIL DEVIL!]

I just heard the single dumbest argument ever for NIL as it stands while watching College Game Day.  The prospect of requiring players to compete in bowl games as part of their NIL agreement was brought up, and one of the talking heads said “but the NIL isn’t associated with the school!”

So, let me get this straight.   If I offered a kid who happens to play football free meals or a rent free house, that was called an “impermissible benefit” 2 years ago because I am a “booster”, though I am not employed by the school.   But, if I now offer a kid a check for 50k to sign with my university I’m just a “NIL collective” and no association with the school is implied???

That would potentially work... IF the NCAA would first take out the rule where NIL cannot contain pay-for-play. Not sure they are willing to do that officially, even if they might not really have the appetite to enforce it

NIL is pay-for-play, and anyone who denies this is either not too bright or being disingenuous.   
 

Texas doesn’t offer 100k to EVERY o-lineman recruit a year ago because they’re actually utilizing their name, image, or likeness.   Kids aren’t signing with SMU because they think “yeah, the culture of this place fits me.”  

Kids are earning a salary and the NCAA is expecting people to believe it is anything but what it is.

You of all people should be thrilled SMU is leaving our schedule. Now we don't have to take that annual prison rape from them. Or maybe, you actually in secret liked it?

Whoever said that doesn't know what they're talking about, one of their starting defensive tackles and one of their starting cornerbacks didn't play. I was listening to the Ticket while doing errands, and the great Rich Phillips said they had five starters not playing, including their star quarterback Preston Stone.

Well, it was one of the members of the SMU radio broadcast team, soooo

Btw we must remind ourselves that the teams playing in these bowl games aren’t the same teams that played the regular season, thanks to the portal.  That includes my comment above too. Bowl picks have gotten a lot harder.  Recently it used to be more about whose coach got fired but now it’s who still has their roster.  Crazy lineups and all that.  Still love it but gee dang! 

One of the comments specifically made by the radio commentators during SMU’s game is that they are one of the few teams where players DID NOT opt out of the bowl game…so, they took that ass whoopin’ straight up

The AAC is the big winner here.  Trading SMwho for ARMY is huge.  There are Army vets everywhere.  And while most didn’t attend West Point, they will attend when Army comes to DATCU.  And think of the flyovers Army will bring.  Not to mention a great trip to West Point in upstate New York.  I’ve been there twice.  It’s a great trip.  
 

Things worked in our favor here.

You could have ended the sentence “Trading SMU for…” with literally anything and you would make a strong argument for increasing interest in the AAC

Excuses for what?  A pass-oriented team with a freshman backup QB in his 2nd start in pouring rain lost to a run focused P3 team with greater depth.  We were competitive, lead much of the game, and lost respectfully.  Sucks to lose, especially since we could have won in different circumstances, but that's how it goes.  Going to take a few years to build P3 depth.

 

And again, we'll make more conference revenue next year than we did this year. We aren't "paying" for anything

Sure glad you’re not making excuses.  
 

[Smut getting it handed to them]

In all fairness, if this game were played next year as a conference game they would at least be getting a bunch of ACC revenue.

Oh, wait...

I think SMU should remember this and totally take it out on them when they play next year.

Not to pick sides but SMU has nearly three times the endowment of Florida State. I'm sure Florida State could raise a ton of money for this but it's becoming increasingly apparent that if Florida State had F.U. money, they would have already left the ACC. The truth is, they do not have that kind of money.

Ooooor, perhaps FSU knows that their seat at the adult table is a given and they're suing from a position of wanting the best deal possible.   They don't have to do anything desperate just to get the cool kids to play with them.

Way to go SMU! 

I know you said this in jest, but here is a literal quote from the Chair of Florida State's Board of Trustees: 

"The ACC voted, over Florida State's objection, to add three new teams that add no additional pro rata value to the conference."

 

Didn't they get the memo that SMU is Dallas' team and people care about them??
