A. OF COURSE, the Pac 12 commissioner is going to throw out every reason he can think of to stop UCLA (or USC) from leaving.
B. The University of California Board of Regents is trying to negotiate a way to get Cal-Berkeley into the B1G as a package deal.
Winner!
Especially point B. They will say, "To lessen travel and impact on the environment Cal, Stanford, Oregon, and Washington should come along too. You know, to save the environment. "

Wonder why they didn't?
I'm not sure honestly. Maybe they didn't want the students/donors/alums to know how much they were spending to get out of CUSA early.
Maybe @Arkstfan can shed some light on it.

That is great news, however why did Judy not want to disclose the deal to the other schools leaving the conference?
Not her or CUSA, the departing schools are the ones that didn't want the amount disclosed.

If we have paid the fee I would sue them for some money back.
Lets see the guys who left early get a better deal than the guys who met the obligations? Makes since to me.
Has anyone sent this to WB? Judy has some explaining to do.
Do we get any of the money from them leaving early?
I hope we did not screwed off the field like we did on the field.
Leaving member forfeit their conference payouts, so no we don't get anything from the 3 that left. That will be split by the remaining teams.
And no, I don't think UNT is paying anything outside of forfeiting their payouts, since we followed the bylaw and gave CUSA the appropriate amount of time.

Hmmm... NIL Effective date was July 1, 2021. Just over a year ago.
SMU was recruiting the heck out of Southern Dallas County for much longer than that. Do you not remember getting torched by Danny Gray, Reggie Roberson, & Roderick Daniels over the past few seasons? How 'bout Tre Siggers deciding to leave UNT, only to be on SMU's roster about 1 week later?
SMU signed all of these dudes because of a person on their staff with "ties", not NIL money (pre 2021).My mistake, I thought it had been in effect already.
I still think them winning and being in the AAC is a huge leg up in recruiting. The previous 2 years SMU went 10-3 and 7-3, meanwhile we were going 4-8 and 4-6 in that same time. Plus I wouldn't put it past SMU to get started on NIL a little early if you know what I mean.

I suppose a HEAD COACH wouldn't necessarily need to have the TXHSFB ties. But if he doesn't, a majority of his staff should.
People who are saying "Texas ties don't mean much anymore..." are probably bewildered at how these amazing South Dallas-area ballers were showing up at SMU over the past few seasons.
The reality is: "Texas ties" are still very-much-so important.
Hmmm...or what else could it be? Maybe it's the crazy amount of $$$ for NIL?

From the BB social pages the guys are looking good and fit. I'm very excited to what the additions can bring. Imo Sissoko will be a huge key to this season. If he can make an impact and give Ousmane some rest it's going to be huge having 2 viable big men.

Nice try, Green Otaku. You forgot to mention SMU.

True, maybe we need a whole set of 7 deadly sins.

Texas roots aren't essential. Gary Patterson was 38 before he lived in Texas. Matt Rhule didn't live in Texas until he was hired at Baylor. Mack Brown won a national title and first gig in Texas was at UT.
Hire good coaches, give them what the need to the extent of your checkbook and focus less on clicking off a magic box on a checklist.Someone should frame this post. This board has an obsession with the phrase "Texas ties." Is it a bonus? Yes, but it's not the be-all end-all for hiring a coach. Texas is a place like any other and good recruiters will build relationships and be successful.

I'm believe Wren will wait until after the season. As Seth showed last year, he can keep the kids engaged even with a long losing streak. I just hope an easy CUSA schedule doesn't magically give this team a .500 bowl berth and save Seth's job.
I don't think it's enough this time. 3 more losses I think will seal his fate.

A big question for the next coach is do we start him at what SL makes to get a better hire or do we start low and make them work their way up? Also it would allow us to let them go sooner if necessary.

In a week we will have our answer since we are going up against an AAC team in Memphis. SMU already showed us a intro to what the AAC will be like, now it's Memphis' turn. If we lose again by blow it it will show that we are far behind being ready for the AAC.
A guy that can recruit the portal will be essential for future success, and that's not unique to us or the situation we are in. The transfer portal will be a huge part of programs going forward, we just have to accept it and be ready to take advantage.

Wrong. Fans need hope. I think Nebraska fans are happy, even with the OU beatdown today, just knowing there will be a change coming.
I was going to bring up Nebraska as well. They had every single question that we have, yet their admin made a choice when enough was enough.

A lot of penalized celebrations don't affect the flow of the game, like simpler touchdown celebrations in the end zone.
I don't see any wording that excludes sideline celebrations like this slot machine bit, but maybe there's an unwritten understanding they won't get called.
A lot of that is very subjective, I remember even end zone celebrations used to be enforced much harsher. I can't remember when they started to be more lenient, maybe 7-8 years or so, but before even making a pose in the end zone would get you a flag. I think for the sideline stuff as long as it's not happening on the field and in the opponent's face the kind of just let it slide. It would be interesting to see what the officials' are told about these things.

I don't see 5 more wins on this schedule. I am confident (if the team hasn't quit on the coaching staff by then) we beat Rice. Health of key starters on both sides guaranteed I give us better than 50% shot to beat FIU and La Tech. And my La Tech opinion could change once they play a G5 team to see where they are athletically. I just don't see 5 more wins. 5 wins this season I what I expect. They might eek out a 6th win.
Yeah me neither, I see it as very unlikely. But in the event it did happen I still think for most of us it wouldn't be enough. 8-4 is probably the baseline for all of us to even start THINKING of it being enough.

Our collective anger/disappointment is crashing this site. Or is it just problems on my end? 😅

The celebration rules are vague enough to outlaw it, prohibiting "[a]ny delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act by which a player (or players) attempts to focus attention upon himself (or themselves)."
Don't those rules apply to play on the field only? Meaning as long as it's on the sideline and doesn't affect the flow of the game the don't apply?

At this point even a 7-5 wouldn't be enough to make me want to keep Litrell.

Amazingly, I now believe the Big 12 will be the league to survive and the PAC will dissolve. The Big 12 will probably get the SW 4 (UA, ASU, Utah, and CU), which combines with the recent 4 they got in BYU, UH, Cincy, and UCF, they will have a nice conference. It will clearly be third still, behind the B1G and the SEC, but it’s gonna have some solid teams and be an incredible basketball league still. I’m happy for them. Somehow, Tech, TCU, Baylor, OSU, KSU, KU, ISU, and WVU are gonna survive in the conference that we all thought was on life support.
The PAC made the mistake of not killing the Big12 when they had the chance.

The defense is worrying and having huge holes against TSU is a big red flag. Our quarterbacks are still not accurate enough to get us in games. I want and hope to be proven wrong, but I am a realist. 35-10 UNLV. I will still be 100% supporting the Mean Green all 4 quarters.

All I know is we better have our asses ready by the time the expanded playoff starts. If you can stream a couple of appearances back to back you can really start to build a brand up.

I wish we had one of those spider cameras at Apogee. Assuming they fix the color/brightness, etc. on the cameras, I think a spider cam would bring a lot to the video presentation.
We can't even afford decent field cameras, what makes you think we could afford (assuming it's not rental only) a complex system like that?

I would have liked to have seen Ruder or Head get some minutes. This staff just refuses to use opportunities to try something different with almost no risk. It's maddening.

And Stanford. They have been successful in the past, and would academically be welcomed with open arms.
