I’ll just leave this here.

Back to get cooked by this offense in Dallas in six months...

https://www.espn.com/contributor/pete-thamel/6f049f0563b18 Big news for Oklahoma football. A judge in Cleveland County, Okla., has granted Owen Heinecke a preliminary injunction, which will allow him to play at OU for the 2026 season. The NCAA had previously ruled against his waiver for a fifth year of eligibility. He had 40 tackles and three sacks for OU last season.

conference tournaments don't play into the formula at all?

I've read: Kobe: You know I'm the best player in the world, right? Iverson: You ain't the be best player on your team. Kobe: I'm whipping your ass. Iverson: You ain't got nothing. Kobe: You wanna play one on one after the game? Iverson: We won last game. Kobe You ain't winning now. You gonna play or not? Iverson: You stupid, man. Kobe: Just shut up and play me after the game.

@Gerry Hamilton I still wish you'd ask Raja Bell what Kobe and Iverson said to each other during this trash talk scene of game two of the 2001 NBA Finals.

Speaking with Mike Bimonte today, he said it is certainly a more aggressive defense this year the offense faces in spring ball. He added there are so many layers of the defense that Muschamp can attack from that creates challenges for the quarterbacks.

I still think that Sark's offense is a big problem in the losses. PK didn't do a bad job at all for us.

Very well. It'll be Texas or Georgia.

Great article Jeff as always 🤘🏼

You are correct, sir, but we all know that the only Fongbombs that are fairly accurate are the ones he drops the day of the recruit's commitment.

It's a shame he was not used more to create more havoc the last two years

Havoc, you say?

Gerry's right. This is pure BS. Don't pay if you don't want.

Fong bomb for him today along with a few other put in RPM to Texas.

She gone

Basketball NIL also taking off. Article in today's Athletic titled "Want your men’s college basketball team to contend next year? It might take $10 million" (paywall). Top guy in this year's portal, Flory Bidunga (C), supposedly was asking for $5 million. Four years ago Nijel Pack, an All-Big 12 player at K-State but not considered a really big fish, signed with Miami for $800K over 2 years. In the current cycle a potential all-conference player could expect $3 million and above yearly (see screen grab below). Interesting article with a discussion about how the money is available but it's tricky to get it past the NIL Go clearinghouse auditors. Also, no evidence yet that the Big East will dominate given they don't need to spend most of the $20 million cap on football. Another tidbit - "Last July, when The Athletic polled 35 coaches, the average estimate to build a roster in the SEC was $9.7 million, and the other four high-major leagues were in the $8 million range." The part about how opaque the system is was interesting too, with too many poorly prepared 'agents' asking for outlandish numbers. Article mentions a blog by Evan Miya which "has data from 30 teams that input player salaries in his front office tool." He says NIL is up 65% for basketball this year over last year. This site is not behind a paywall, here's the link for those interested (I'm interested but haven't read it carefully yet, just skimmed it). Here's a screen grab from Athletic.

For the All Sports Trophy, sports with a true regular season - like baseball and softball - it is the regular season finish that counts. sports without a conference regular season - like track and field - it’s the sec championship finish that counts.
