God it's going to be hilarious when they still get their ass handed to them. Quote
MarkInAustin Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 I will not be quick to dismiss TT. As obviously weird as it would be for normal humans to voluntarily spend a year or more out of a finite lifetime in Lubbock, Tech itself is a comparative oasis in churchy sand land. But this is not volunteer work, it is highly compensated by oil and gas money, and could soon make TT a playoff contender. The road through the B12 to the playoffs has been eased by the realignment. Ultimately Okie Lite, Baylor, TCU, Houston and the rest will have to match TT's aggressiveness in NIL. Can the Kansas schools, Iowa St., the mountain schools and the desert brothers keep up with the oil money? Another road has opened for successful recruiting, BTW. Diego Pavia gets another year of eligibility because JUCO guys now get two years in college to match the two spent in JUCO, as I understood the ruling. So JUCO development is now a freebie and JUCO farm systems like K St used to have will now become relevant again. 21 YO JUCO transfers probably will not demand the same level of NIL while still retaining lots of eligibility. We shall see. 2 Quote

I will be interested to see what happens moving forward with NIL and the portal. There is going to have to be changes because it’s pretty much a free for all right now. 1 Quote

Realist Horn Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 Hopefully someone talked to that Peter Woods guy (Clemson DL) after the game to see if he wants to enter the portal. He would fit in perfectly. 3 3 Quote
