Ya’ll chill. When has congress actually done anything?

Very much so. People remember the Ohio State game. He was a vastly different player against the Aggies and Michigan. He was as good as any QB in the country IMO.

Even if there is federal legislation, that wont necessarily force schools to be a part of this. I could see states passing legislation to require state schools to do something. This is socialization not free market. Ughh

I think you hit on the point. Let the SEC and BIG 10 break away in football. Ask others if they want to join and go from there. Pooling rights might make sense for 32-40 teams, not 130+.

This

SEC and Big 10 have the flagship and number 2 schools in some serious states. They’ll have a lot of legislative pull in both houses of Congress.

💯

Bobby, as a practical matter, how do the SEC and Big10 prevent this from happening short of taking their TV revenue and doing their own thing!

Just need to get him healed up in time for playoffs. We will be fine, CJ.

Evaluation?

Easy decision tree: If Cody Campbell is for it, Texas should be against it.

His pocket awareness and maneuverability was on full display. You can’t really appreciate fully in the moment because it’s on to the next play, but after rewatching and seeing clips, it was next level.

I think we’ll see major pushback from the SEC and Big 10. Some of the ACC and Big 12 schools, through their own mismanagement, have gotten themselves into financial trouble and that’s why they’re taking private equity. Asking the SEC and BIg 10 to cede control of their futures to people who have screwed up in the past and who are desperate just doesn’t make logical sense.

I was around for that moron Rick Perry appointed. Eltife is a bamf.

Eltife is THE Regents GOAT

Hard to say but maybe Florida. And I’ll likely watch parts of all again between now and the beginning of the season.

It’s nothing more than a starting point. Things undoubtedly will change but not without a lot of lawyers getting involved. we opened Pandora’s box 📦 about 7 years ago and whatever happens we’re certainly not going back to the way it was

2027 DL from Sierra Canyon Texas, Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame and Georgia in his top group. Said Texas was in his top three after his April 18th visit.

Going to need a healthy Mendoza for the remainder of the season. Would be devastating

No shoes inside. Something I need to enforce at my home.

Rarely ever watch games again.

That’s a nope. I do wish Eltife was going to be in his position for a few more years. Not sure when he runs out. Love CDC but I’m an Eltife guy. This is a hard no for me.

My guess is he'll go with one of the other pitchers and bring Kavan in if needed. The softball throwing motion allows repeated use, though the arm does get tired, it's not like baseball where you need multiple days rest to be effective.

Texas A&M - still the best atmosphere I've ever seen at DKR Oklahoma Miss. St.

The presidential commission surrounding college sports issued its first form of potential guidelines yesterday. You can read them in the tweet I linked below. It’s a comprehensive list of reforms. As should be expected, there’s some good, some bad and a whole lot of work to be done. But at least someone is attempting to move things forward. Perhaps the biggest news? They are suggesting an entirely new form of governance, one largely outside of the NCAA or perhaps without the NCAA altogether. Other major line items of note: - A phased pooling of rights if 75-percent of colleges agree to it. (They don’t say which 75-percent have to comply). The ACC is called out here because some of their rights don’t renew until the mid-2030s while other conferences renew sooner. - Absolute minimums for women’s sports. - Caps on player compensation with the intention of strict adherence. - The potential of tiered media compensation. So Texas might make more than SMU, Houston, etc. - The creation of a managing board and an executive director. ** My general take is that this is a major overreach. Rather than simply allow all schools to spend what they want and how they want, they suggest allowing the 75-percent to dictate and force what the 25-percent can do. Here’s the problem with that. In college sports, at least from an advertising/money perspective, the dollars are very much about the top 25-percent not the remaining 75. Some of these ideas are a starting point for sure. But it’s definitely not an ending point. As currently considered, it cedes way too much to the schools that actually don’t generate much revenue. It’s cloaked as helping maintain funding for women’s sports, but it’s really just a redistribution of wealth. This proposal, as currently constructed, would not be good for the University of Texas. It would be good for Texas Tech though. And therein lies the problem. **
