  1. You're right and that was the collimation of a season 1/2 of good football. But these are all good ideas that should maximize the possible engagement that the on the field performance makes possible. I speculate a7-5 program with all/most of these intiatives implemented will get 20,000 in home game attendance but the same team with that support may barely top 16,000 fans.
  2. You are probably correct. Because i would think minimum due diligence of a NIL leader would involve only signing contract AFTER they enrolled, on an athletic scholarship or officially on the roster.
  3. You are in complete an utter denial. ESPN nor any other distributer is really interested in GOR other than a means to control cost on the rights to air game featuring brands that bring fans. That isn't SMU or the lesser brands in any of the conferences. All the schools thar were the last to get into a P4 lifeboat are in danger of being excluded when the big divide inevitably happens. And it is inevitable unless a major ruling in pending court cases make an elite semi-pro CFB league unpalatable to media distributers and the big brands they want.
  4. You should know money talks and BS walks. What happens if ESPN call the lower value ACC team’s bluff and tell you that letting FSU go will make them happy? You don’t want to piss off the ultimate sugar daddy. ESPN- Tell you what ACC irrelevants and your cabin boy SMU; you can either divide up your portion of the remainder of the promised revenue now and go away or the next contract we offer your school will be cents on the dollar. Mind you in the meantime until your contract run out we are going to put as many of your games on at bad time slots and behind a paywall and show your real independent value without us. Rememberthe money is coming from the distributors and advertising on the games. Hurting and restricting FSU, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami, and North Carolina is bad for viewership numbers.
  5. Wow, the delusion is worse than I thought. Unfortunately this isn’t about students or academics at all. It is about how much a media distribution outlet win pay to air your games. For SMU since the death penalty that has been G5 level. Otherwise SMU wouldn’t been the last G5 team to find P4 lifeboat they had to pay an entrance fee to get into. ESPN isn’t happy they are getting SMU games as a part of their package. And if and when any of those teams you listed leave the ACC they will NOT consider SMU an on par replacement.
  6. This is a completely delusional position. 😂 The message is that small schools, that don’t win big once in a while and don’t have large fan bases aren’t revenue generators. Having your large donors essentially pay the other schools in the conference for right to be in the conference established a precedent that SMU doesn’t have value to the elite athletic brand schools.
  7. Also have you heard that the playoff committee is considering not granting SMU a P4 share of CFP revenue. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/sources-cfp-may-withhold-added-revenue-from-smu-despite-power-five-move/ar-AA1mvYqa
  8. Couldn't agree more but "leadership" has put themselves in the position where they can rarely say no. Chiefly because they almost never said no to anything if the check was large enough. Moreover Div 1 NCAA institutions have been happy to screw over their peers for the biggest check. Absolutely no financial hardship reason for the richest schools in FBS to leave their regional conferences. The greed and lack of loyalty is now two way street that everyone in revenue college sports has access to now.
  9. That is the mindset of the schools every time conference alignment and scheduling comes up. Every school not in Big 10 or SEC would leave traditional rivals to join one of the those conferences behind. No consideration of the the hardship maintaining academic eligibility while regularly traveling over 3-4 time zones during the week for games. Stanford and Cal in an East Coast conference. UCF and Arizona in the same conference garbage.
  10. DING DING. That why I push back so hard on those with the opinion demonizing the players and NIL. The guys playing today enjoying NIL don’t remember classic Bowl games that were more than just named for a product. They don’t remember classic Big 10 vs PAC 10 Rose Bowls. They don’t remember guys running around with Roses or Oranges looking ecstatic to be in a Bowl game. Every time schools/conference got to a decision tradition vs more money they chose more money. As a whole you can not tell me that a four team playoff after the bowl games would have resulted in more money for EVERYONE than a 12 team playoff. That EVERYONE is the problem. You can’t make decisions as independent entities in a league at the long term expense of the sport and expect not to harm your own program in the long term. Almost everyone in the media is late preaching caution and doom. The formation of BCS was the last chance they had to get off this dead end cut throat greed but they chose greed.
  11. Yes I love watching big play, “let it fly” offenses but not so much for my team because our program has never shown it could have that type of offense and good defense to go with it. The Murphy Twins defense with Mason at his peak here is as close as we got. Mason could not stay healthy and I may be wrong but it seems like having all 3 of them healthy was rare.
  12. Yes it is all crap shoot for QB. The physical tools only go so far at the position of quarterback. Landing transfers on the defensive side of the ball at this point is far more important. Because right now we know for certain a few players that already had experience when Caponi got here just won’t be able to cut it in his scheme. But I think his scheme is garbage, but that doesn’t matter because they chose to roll with him at DC. If we can get a quarterback of defense that is successful, that is a one year rental like our QB was, that arguably could make a bigger impact than Rogers did.
  13. Was it an “anti-trust” ruling or “pro labor” ruling. You cannot morally square everyone in revenue generating sports being free agents for the highest bidder and not treat players essentially the same way. They could have circumvented this expected outcome by giving recruits irrevocable 4 year scholarships (except in the cases of 2 semesters of ineligibility or violation of student conduct rules). They didn’t. The large profitable programs wanted a captive labor force they could control. That was never going to stand long term to legal challenges.
  14. I am not salty at him at all. But he is just an ordinary coach nothing special at all. The record is what it is. Nothing special, not horrible but nothing special. How he performed is what I expect BARE MINIMUM from any coach given the resources relative to his conference peers. He CONSISTENTLY came up short. And many times those conferences peers operating with less out coached him. That is just the fact. So I remember 1-11 but it is not some monumental accomplishment to go 7-6 given all the resources to be better than that. Decent man, consummate, professional but that should be standard for any coach who gets an FBS head coaching job. I appreciate that he did not leave the program in shambles.
  15. I didn’t log a response because they very valid opinions. I wouldn’t call him a bad head coach but absolutely ordinary. Never understood the confidence in him viewing his resume before he got here. And I think we will see what he really is an OC next season.
