Coach Poggi doesn't specify who the kids feel betrayed by. I'm assuming he means betrayed by Coach Moore's horrible actions. But I can't help but wonder if its betrayal from the school for terminating Coach Moore? Or betrayed by something or someone else? Or all of it? This is a messed-up situation for these young men and their parents to be in. Certainly, will test their faith and mental mettle.

The big unknown is who of the Michigan players and recruits will enter the portal or ask that their NLI be revoked?? Maliki Lee will instantly have two round the clock DPS trooper bodyguards assigned to him if he renounces his NLI.

Jeff, thanks for further explaining the NFL fiscal management policy which Texas is employing. This certainly would make more sense if all teams (like the NFL model) were abiding by the same rules. Unfortunately, there are teams like Tech, Oregon and now USC operating under a different set of rules. Until we have an even playing field there's going to be a lot of frustration with college football. Is OTF expecting more uniformity in 2026 or more of the same?

When Coach says this, it reminds me of when Dad would say the same things - "$$ doesn't grow on trees" - but in reality he was holding on to it for emergencies. Our portal needs might just qualify for this.

UConn women shooting 39.6% from three this season ... hat tip

She's definitely getting more comfortable in the college game. Had some big games of late.

Who's been jamin?

And that’s a good thing. For decades college football was built on a lie. I’m glad the bandaid is ripped off and we can treat it like the business it has always been that was taking advantage of athletes. I’m als glad that Texas is in a position to be a player with what this era is vs the decades of rampant cheating that Texas refused to be involved in due to superiority complex.

This ain’t amateur football any more. It is semi pro. I don’t envy these coaching staffs. Loyalty is spent with dollar signs now.

Great write up Jeff. I don’t get what SARK says that money is limited. It clearly isn’t with some programs - Texas Tech for example. Is that his way of saying that the Texas big money people need to step up for us to compete at the very highest level? @Jeff Howe

Jeff, curious if you have any insight into why Goosby is likely to come back, despite being mocked in the first round? A disconnect between draft analysts and the actual feedback he’s getting from NFL teams? It’s just hard to believe he’d come back with a first round grade.

Great stuff Jefe

This. In ancient times (back when I had hair), there really wasn't much of a decision for players since transferring was such a cumbersome process. Now with the ease of the portal, and NIL issues, things are much more complex. Hard for college age guys to navigate, IMHO

College football doesn't seem to too much resemble college football these days.

I hope Colin lays waste Conan-style to opponents next year.☠️

Has he ever called plays before?

Great article, Jeff. Should have Amanda send this one to her friend Peyton so she doesn't think we're cooked.

The Olympic sports are usually what win it for us and a majority of those are in the spring. So, honor of the immortalized man, Samuel L Jackson….”HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS!!”

very informative article 👍🏻

Our rowing team should get another championship.

Aaliyah Chavez has been balling for OU. Besides scoring, she's an excellent passer. Rori will be up to the challenge of shutting her down.

Dang I hate to see her go, But not surprised as she lost playing time to Harvey and Bunton

Nope, don’t think that would be the case. I think you’d see the best football we’ve ever seen. You still have to win to get in and you’re making everything more like the NFL. The value is having the playoff structured in a way that eliminates conference championship games, which IMO punish teams that finish strong in conference, and replace them with play in games. Setting limits and numbers on who gets in would devalue regular season just like it is currently trending.
