Anybody else notice this story completely flipped in about 24 hours? Ball reported Monday that LSU had already closed on $100M+ in exchange for 10% of future media rights. SBJ picked it up, and by yesterday afternoon it was everywhere. Then the donors actually met at the mansion, and Moscona's sources were saying nothing is signed and nobody in the room was even asked for money. That's a pretty big gap between two guys who usually know what they're talking about. It's still worth thinking about what that structure would mean if someone actually does it, because it's a much bigger deal than it first appears. That's not fundraising. That's monetizing part of the future value of the football program, which is a completely different model than relying on donors or traditional debt. My guess is both guys are partly right. What Rousse is describing, LSU owning and controlling an LLC that invests in outside businesses, isn't the same as selling a slice of future SEC media revenue, but it's still private capital entering college athletics. The fact they're waiting on an IRS opinion and have already commissioned a third-party valuation tells you they're trying to thread a pretty fine legal needle. The bigger question is whether this becomes a blueprint. If the structure proves workable, I don't think you wait long before Texas, Ohio State and Georgia are looking at something similar. Utah already closed with Otro, and Kentucky, Michigan State and Clemson have all stood up commercial entities. It feels less like LSU inventing something new and more like another step in where the business of college athletics is headed.

Bijan was a freshman. Herman did not sacrifice Bijan to save his HC job. Credit to him! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Jabbar Juluke had the bar set for him by Stan Drayton! Good luck in jumping over it! I would not bet against Juluke!! 🏈🤘🏻🏈🤘🏼🏈🤘🏈🤘🏽🏈🤘🏾🏈🤘🏿🏈

Doug: I'll bet he fakes the handoff to Williams and throws it to Kleinsasser in the end zone. Loser does the dishes? 😂

Underrated performance, for sure!

😂

Kiffin + Will Wade + Mulkey + Jay Johnson = $$$$. Landry is essentially the AD, just a huge clusterf and powder keg waiting to blow up

"Joining the Texas women's basketball program is incredibly special to me,” Vivians said. “Having the opportunity to work alongside a coach who played such an important role in my own development as a college player makes this a true full-circle moment. Coach Vic Schaefer helped shape the competitor and person I am today, and I'm honored to be part of a program built on excellence, accountability, and championship standards. I'm excited to pour into these student-athletes, contribute to the culture, and help continue the tradition of success at Texas."

If Joe Montana torched my team for years while winning 4 Super Bowls I would probably hate him too! But everything happens for a reason @Jeff Howe, if it wasn’t for some of those ass whoopings then maybe the Cowboys don’t have the opportunity to build their dynasty in the 90s.

Boom!!!

Still astonishes me tom herman seen how special he was day in and out at practices yet still wouldn’t start him

Don't have a problem with Ohio St and Georgia being top 3 but not buying the Oregon hype

Rudy Rudy Rudy!!!

Does this change the betting line on the Texas/ anOSU game? Merely curious as I do not really care or ever bet. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Can’t wait for the Lane Kiffen rule to be challenged by the agent community.

I’ll take Gerry and Scruggs who pound the pavement

I think Baker is going to have a breakout year at G. (🤞) 🤘

The only thing that sucks about Rudy is that it was ND... 🤘

Considering Rudy never worked in a steel mill or watched his best friend die, that Dan Devine actually went out of his way to suit up for a game, no one on the sideline or crowd chanted for him and was carried off the field as a gag, I’d say most every walk on has as good a true story to tell.

Need to know which 2 coaches voted us #1!

Also buying Florida. Not even in Top 25 I think is a mistake... 🤘
