[Spring transfer portal]

I'm wondering how soon we will start seeing 2-year NIL contracts, with a clawback clause if they break it.

Rumor has it TCU is trying to avoid this game

[Worst call of all time? Yes.]

It did the Horns no favors either as it prolonged the David McWilliams era.  A honestly called game would have had him gone by Sunday morning.  Who knows who Dodds could have hired had he gotten an earlier start.

They should double that easily when Duke comes to town.

OK, what's the membership criteria? 

Money?, Liberty alone would laugh at that, they could mail the new consortium a blank check and tell them to fill in the amount.  BYU also.

There is going to be a split coming in the next 5-7 years.  Financially it just doesn't make sense for the G5 schools to keep it up.  G5 will be the new D1AA and have its own championship.

If they could've, they would've already.  Name any criteria for "separation" that can avoid antitrust. That's why it hasn't been done yet.

[Amateur Athletics in College Are Officially Over - NCAA Proposes Rule Changes]

NFL, NBA, and NHL et al have salary caps.  No lawsuits.  But, their players are employees and unionized, so the salary caps are part of their CBA's.

[North Texas Portal Entry Thread]

And the NCAA can easily do something:

1 - ONE free transfer for underclassmen, period.  Anything else requires sit-out year.  No fake medical/family transfer BS.

2 - all COVID-era freebies (extra year, etc) terminate after the 2023-2024 academic year.

3 - An additional free graduate transfer allowed, provided the player has spent 2 or more years at the current school.

Make it effective August 1, 2024.

I think Morris will do very well at North Texas.  His offense is prolific and it takes time to get the personnel to run that defensive scheme.

Best of luck in The American.  Should be a fun league to watch from afar.

You'll be watching the ACC from afar.

[UAB attendance predictions]

Given the unnecessary early start (for streaming-only) go with 8,000 actual.  Half that if weather goes bad,

[If we beat smu]

That would be a major upset.  If it were followed up with wins @ Tulsa and on Senior Day against UAB, then yes, we would be bowl-eligible with a very significant win.

[Army is In]

If (hopefully) Army simply inherits SMU's conference schedule for 2024, both Army AND Navy will be coming to DATCU next year.  Our home schedule would be SFA, Wyoming, Tulsa, Tulane, Army and Navy.

I'm in.  Hopefully Jared can keep us out of the &%$)^%$ Breakfast Home Games or at least limit them to one.

They are a natural fit geographically and their budget would be at the very top.  If we are serious about being a major conference player shouldn’t we consider them even with their warts?  Judy is licking her lips on what they are going to do for C-USA this season.  Why not poach them?
