How would you know what those lines looked like if you don't pay attention?

Here's his current ranking in the NFL Mock Draft Consensus - answer is 'not likely', though these mocks get more accurate the closer one gets to the draft

hate to be that guy on a fellow 409 kid but thank God

You would think so, but unfortunately the vast majority of the politicians will go along with it due to political pressure from voters. Most politicians (especially in the last 20 years) are the most financially irresponsible people around. They don't make pragmatic, financially sound decisions anymore because those decisions are unpopular.

Miami seems yo gravitate to concussion prone qbs. I hope Ewers finds a way to have better pocket awareness.

You mean 4 guys that all went on or before day 2 ? Yeah we didn't match that this year but still had a good DL

Why? It’s common practice and no reason to risk any injury in a completely meaningless game.

PE isn’t buying the school. They’re buying future revenue streams, usually at the conference or affiliate-entity level, not carving up public universities like a private company. No PE firm wants oversight committees. These deals are structured specifically to avoid statehouse headaches. The moment a legislature can rewrite the terms, PE loses interest. That’s how this sneaks past the “how is this legal?” alarm bells. Think of it less as privatization and more as: “We mortgaged next decade’s TV checks because the portal is on fire today.”

A smaller group of programs with scale, donor depth, media value, and political leverage will keep playing at the highest level. Everyone else will quietly redefine “competitive” and call it sustainability. Not because they want to — because the math forces it.

I'm still not sure how these PE firms are able to get involved with these public institutions. Wouldn't the state legislature have to approve them and the terms? State of Texas isn't going to just let UT start selling off pieces of itself.

I hope he balls out at the pro day and in private workouts. Not sure he gets a combine invite unless he has a great agent. Would love for him to make it in the league as a special teams ace.

Best wishes but I'm thinking UDFA.

If this results in Arkansas waiving the white flag, then count me in.

That take is probably closer to the truth than most people want to admit. What we’re watching isn’t some abstract NIL growing pain — it’s a capital structure problem finally colliding with reality. A bunch of schools are operating like pro franchises without pro revenue certainty, and now they’re layering leverage on top of volatility. That works right up until it doesn’t. The timing you’re pointing to is key. TV deals rolling over, ACC exit fees collapsing, private equity sniffing around future distributions — all of that converges around the same window. When that happens, the sport won’t politely rebalance. It’ll bifurcate.

Best wishes to Mr. Gilbeau!!! 🏈🤘🏻🏈🤘🏼🏈🤘🏈🤘🏽🏈🤘🏾🏈🤘🏿🏈

Agreed. The financial mismanagement in the pros is bad enough, but the collegiate game is starting to look like a financial train wreck for most P4 schools. The collision will happen just about the time that TV contracts expire and the ACC's exit fee reaches its $75MM minimum (around 2030). IMO, at that point there could be a division of the haves and have nots. The haves will be most of the SEC, 5-7 from the Big 10, 3-4 schools from the ACC, and Tech from the Big 12. Does the SEC stay intact while the other haves form a football only conference, or is a 20-24 team football conference formed including the financially capable SEC teams? The rest of the schools will likely be waiving the white flag (to various extents) on NIL/rev share at that point. The Arkansas and Iowa St ADs have admitted as much. I'm sure the message from Iowa State's AD played a big part in Matt Campbell finally jumping ship, although Penn State is a great opportunity for him.

He was better at Star than Corner IMO. He did seem to drop off after year 2

Hope Quinn does well “ Hookem “

And utilize the TE Waller…

Nice job Yormark. You just landed a deal for $500 million for the whole conference while Utah alone signed a deal for the same amount.

Tech?

Any update on Hero Kanu can never be mini.
