Translation: We can’t keep our 5-star culture going without a 5-star NIL budget.

We are headed to a single league of 30-32 teams.

Do you take everything literal or not understand coach speak? They made each other great

Check out Pop's own words at the 4:10 mark. Tim Duncan was the amazing player and person responsible for the success of the Spurs. Pop was along for the ride as any number of good coaches would have been. https://youtu.be/xaooJTd9K00?feature=shared

Tap into the crop lobby you poor schmucks

It’s well, well over $20mm. Period. That’s not debatable. Someone may be feeding him a line of bs.

Would love a Texas media history episode from @Bobby Burton breaking down all the chaos and changes from behind the scenes the past 20 years. Put it behind a paywall, I’d pay a premium to hear all about it!

That’s why they might go the way of Northern Iowa. It feels like they’re asking the state of Iowa to fund the NIL instead of the university.

Notre Dame.

Do they have to pay players though? The can just suck and count their money, or am I off base with this one.

Don’t rest till you get Saban

It's a shame, but that's where the sport is headed. With all the Legal uncertainty who knows where we will land, but the sport will be structurally very different from its roots.

It’s a problem for many. But that’s why there’s FCS, D2 and D3. One of my sons played at a D3 school and had a blast. I don’t think they even charged admission.

He talks about $20mm being too much and the possibility of Iowa State becoming Northern Iowa. Somewhat fascinating to me. https://x.com/genetics56/status/1918764080170684448?s=46&t=ISjkoHkBIkXYXFbgvlDUoA

Doesn’t matter. KJ, Cooper,Crowell better

There have been many great special guest conversations on C&F. This one with Jam easily in mytop 5 and my favorite. Great stuff.

Horns up for your early morning special guest Longhorn Legend Quentin Jammer. Many great questions. Enjoyed his candid and insightful responses. Really appreciate y'all extending Jammer's time on the show. Thanks Jammer. That was a marvelous watch. Hook Em!

Oh no! What about are star rating average?

Pops is a great coach, an awesome man and an awesome representative of an open mind, free thinking and compassionate culture I wish we could be. Tim Duncan did not make Pop’s a great coach. It was the culture built by good coaching, great draft picks and heady international acquisitions. Both Dallas and Golden State have followed the blueprint of Pop’s strategic way of navigating an NBA team in a smaller market(Golden State isn’t such a small market I know).

I’m not a fan of Pop, he also was of the group that ushered in the rest players on back to back days mentality. I grew up in the Isaiah Thomas played with a messed up ankle era. And I’m no Thomas fan. Same with the all star game, it was competitive to see the best compete. Now it’s a glorified practice. Millions of dollars to play a game and they can’t show up for every game barring a major injury. It’s 82 games. Their fans, some of whom, bust their tales for crazy hours and work through injury and pain so they can take their kid(s) to watch their “heroes” who are too good to make the same effort. Ok I’m done ranting.

It’s one of those thankless jobs, do it right and no one says anything…do it wrong and you never hear the end of it.
