OTF Premium Texas basketball 2026-27 season thread
Gerry Hamilton replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
I don’t get it either. A non-con of at Louisville (will be a top 3 seed team), Miami (will be a top 20 type team), Baylor (talented guards and likely top 35 team), likely UCLA (will be a top 25 level team), Georgetown and Memphis home prepares Texas. The home non-con took a hit due to having two “neutral site” games, but I like that Texas is playing in SA and Houston against quality opponents. People want a teams to play a murders row non-con, plus SEC/ACC plus SEC … I want Sean Miller to build his depth and team, and grown and prepare his team for the SEC grind without having to play starters too many minutes in non-conference. 14 game non-conference 18 game SEC SEC Tourney NCAA Tournament hopefully a 38-40 game season. Texas will be battle tested and ready throughout the season -

I dont get the hate are some of these games set up way in advance ? This non con schedule is a bit better than the last few years so it's an improvement but guess since we have a roster that is much improved people are barely noticing. - Today

Games will be on SEC Network at SEC+ for conference. Noncon games are probably gonna be on ESPN+ for the most part. -

OTF Premium PHOTOS: Update on New Football Indoor Facility
SwordNobility replied to CJ Vogel's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Wait, what the hell? Why did they change it to weirdly cut off the second end zone? It went from this to this. The outside part is not going to be great for practicing. They still have a full field inside, I think. -

I think we’ve normalized cheating because it’s just “winners winning”. Loathe it. They should have been sharply punished but that action, unless it is verifiable rampant and game altering, doesn’t color the entire sport imo. Moore is hard for me as it seems more at a personal, than football, level. He sounds cra but I don’t care enough about Michigan to know the details so unless they dropped the ball once they found out, it’s more on him. 🤘🏽

Should grown a spine based on protecting the integrity of game and tell Cody NO. -
If you had to divide responsibility, it might look something like this: TV networks & media partners (largest influence) Television money transformed college football from a regional sport into a national entertainment business. Conference realignment largely followed media rights value rather than geography or tradition. Kickoff times, expanded schedules, and the pursuit of bigger brands all reflected television economics. University presidents and athletic directors They approved conference moves, signed media deals, expanded budgets, and chased revenue. Nobody forced schools to leave historic rivalries behind—they generally concluded it was financially worthwhile. Conference commissioners Commissioners aggressively competed for schools and TV contracts. Expansion by conferences like the SEC and Big Ten created pressure for everyone else to respond. The NCAA For years, it resisted adapting to changing legal realities around athlete compensation. Court losses eventually led to rapid changes (such as NIL and transfer rules) rather than gradual reforms. Politicians and courts Laws, lawsuits, and judicial decisions reshaped the rules governing athlete compensation and mobility. Many of these changes reflected broader legal principles rather than an attempt to redesign college football. Boosters and collectives Wealthy donors became much more influential through NIL funding. At some schools, recruiting has become closely tied to organized donor-backed collectives. Coaches Coaches often pursued higher salaries and changed jobs frequently. Many also advocated for rules that benefited their programs. That said, they generally operated within systems created by universities and conferences. Players Players used transfer opportunities and NIL rights that became legally available to them. From their perspective, many simply sought compensation and freedom comparable to what coaches had long enjoyed. They're probably the least convincing answer if the question is "who ruined college football," because they didn't create most of the structural incentives. Fans Fans have mixed responsibility. They complained about commercialization while simultaneously watching more games, buying streaming packages, supporting realignment when it benefited their school, and donating to NIL efforts. So who bears the most responsibility? If "ruined" means: Loss of regional conferences and rivalries: mostly university leaders, conference commissioners, and TV networks. NIL and the transfer portal: primarily decades of NCAA policy followed by court decisions and state legislation—not the players themselves. Commercialization: TV money, athletic departments, and university leadership. Arms race in spending: everyone participated once the incentives were in place. The biggest theme is that college football wasn't "ruined" by one villain. It evolved because nearly every stakeholder responded rationally to financial, legal, and competitive incentives. Television companies wanted valuable content, schools wanted revenue, conferences wanted leverage, coaches wanted better jobs, players wanted compensation, boosters wanted championships, and fans kept watching. The current landscape is the cumulative result of all those incentives interacting over several decades.

Texas Soccer- The New Era on the Horizon
HonkEm replied to TexTheHorn24's topic in On Texas Football Forum
I'm with you...no idea what is going on in the Soccer world. -
Agree, stallions was bad, but stealing signs even to the level they went to is more part of the game than gambling on your own team and trying to argue the guy should be able to play. I’d actually say what Moore ended up doing threatening that woman was worse than the Stallions thing. Definitely agree there was some sorry stuff going on at UM.
