So I've been working on this for the last few weeks and I must say I'm pretty excited about what I've put together. For the last couple of years we've had numerous people ask about doing a high school football show during football season. It's something that I kicked around with Bobby, but never actively pursued until now. Beginning next week, we will have a weekly show that is all about Texas High School Football called "The Fieldhouse" and each week we'll discuss some of the state's biggest games, the players, storylines and we'll even focus on Texas commit performances as well. It's the lineup that has me super excited, however. I'll be hosting, but I'll be joined by: Carl Padilla - Carl is a prominent figure in Texas high school football, often referred to as "The Godfather of Texas High School Football." In 1997 he founded the Padilla Poll, a high school football polling and news source dedicated to covering the sport in Texas. The Padilla Poll provides rankings, news, and updates on high school football teams, players, and coaches across the state. Coach Bob Shipley - Father of former Longhorn WRs Jordan and Jaxon Shipley, Coach Shipley has had numerous successful stops around the state, including being the Head Coach at Burnet, Brownwood, Coppell and Rotan. He also worked for the University of Texas as both an analyst and as the Director of High School Relations. Coach Tim Buchanan - Longtime HC/AD of Aledo, Coach Buchanan went 281-58 over the course of his career, while winning EIGHT state titles. His eight titles are tied with G.A. Moore, Jr. and behind only Gordon Wood (9) and Scott Surratt (10). He is one of only three Texas high school football coaches to win state championships in four decades. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't giddy about this. All three bring unique perspectives to the table and have been involved in Texas High School Football for an incredibly long time. I easily could have called the show "3 GOATs and 1 scrub", but The Fieldhouse sounded much nicer. As soon as we finalize what day/time the show will run, I will post that as well.

I’ll especially tell you. Moreso than anyone on the board.

An interesting read on Cody Campbell from Front Office Sports… https://frontofficesports.com/the-texas-oil-billionaire-leading-the-newest-college-sports-lobbying-effort/ Curious as to everyone’s thoughts on his idea(s). Note: The article mentions the POTUS multiple times in this article, but we don’t care if you’re for or against him. No one cares. Please leave your politics out of my thread 😂

Norman, OK — Oklahoma is offering fans a chance to attend postgame press conferences, but it won’t be cheap. It’s one of the “Sooner Magic Memories” offerings the program has created to give fans greater access this season. The cost for two people to sit in on the media session after the Oklahoma-Michigan nonconference showdown on September 6 is $692.11. For the Southeastern Conference home opener September 20 against Auburn, it’s $576.86. “Get exclusive postgame media access for you and one guest and see where real-time reactions unfold,” the advertisement says. “Hear OU coaches and players address reporters moments after the final whistle. Watch the story take shape through the questions, the insights, and the atmosphere that set the headlines.” The Michigan and Auburn numbers might seem steep, but the cost for the Illinois State season opener on August 30 is $461.61 – and it’s already sold out. Other offerings include pregame photos on the 50-yard line, a high five tunnel, game ball delivery and halftime field access. Athletic departments across the country are looking for new revenue sources as the cost of fielding teams and attracting top talent rises in the NIL era. The House settlement that took effect July 1 allows each participating school to share up to $20.5 million in revenue directly with their athletes even as more than $2.5 billion is paid back to current and former athletes who sued over restrictions on their ability to earn compensation.
