@Bobby Burton, would be curious to see if you know anyone that can speak to some of these issues outlined in this Athletic article co-authored by Stewart Mandel? https://theathletic.com/5383639/2024/04/03/college-football-super-league-cst-realignment/ Sorry, it's likely behind a paywall, but a few non-contiguous excerpts from the article- One league overseeing college football’s highest level. No more conferences as we’ve known them. Playoff berths being decided solely on the field. Promotion and relegation for smaller schools. Players being paid directly. NIL and the transfer portal, managed. A group of influential leaders wants to make all this happen soon — and they are pitching it as the best way forward for a sport they believe needs saving. They are trying to implement a drastically new system that would replace the NCAA and the College Football Playoff and potentially provide a solution for the hurricane of current and future lawsuits aimed at the business of the sport, plus the NIL and transfer portal issues that, they believe, have put college athletics as a whole in peril. “I really think conferences in the NCAA are at a very significant likelihood of going bankrupt in the near future because of the lawsuits, both the ones that are going to trial soon and those that will follow,” Syverud said.

the day that @Blake Munroe jumps on the bandwagon, we lose again. Stay away, Blake 😎

Impressive to take that series on the road after those stinkers on Tues and Thurs.

The NIL support will be there for the right coach.

Oh, and we gave up five walks - in the second frame.

In other news, our “ace” went 1 inning and we coughed up 8 runs in the second to KSU. 🤷‍♂️

@Blake Munroe, could you go ahead and pin this thread for us? 😜

The more immediate concern, it sounds like he just needs to maximize effort at his current weight. Reading between the lines, that seems to be the first obstacle?

Most outlets projecting Stros to take division. ESPN has them at 97 wins.

Also, Tanner Witt is out “indefinitely” with an undisclosed injury.

Etienne was traveling 80 to 90 mph in a 50-mph zone at approximately 1:50 a.m. Sunday and twice crossed over a double yellow line to pass vehicles, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police Department report.

I know it's not the popular opinion, but the normalization of sports betting is bewildering to me and not good for much of anyone other than the corporations making money.

I really like Rick Barnes as a person and representative of the university and I'd take Barnes success. ...but tonight reminded me why so many people were ready for Barnes to leave. His brand of basketball is UGLY and he's only one assertive officiating crew away from a loss on most nights. I remember lots of spirited conversations with Barnes detractors back in the day - the most knowledgable and informed of those detractors being @Gerry Hamilton.

Guess we can’t all be happy with a 12 point win in the tournament (the line was -3), but sure we can agree it was cool seeing TJ on a national ATT commercial!

Even in the dark decade, we've had some really productive backs in the NFL. Fozzy, Malcolm Brown, D'Onta Foreman, hell Bijan was part of that era.

Excited for the tourney, but can't wait for next year 🤘

Pretty cool to see this lil' ol' website get inside the bubble for Pro Day 😉

He apparently had signed a big NIL deal with Iowa’s collective. Will be interesting to follow how that gets worked out.

They could have mailed it in after Rori went down. Instead they got better (almost) every week.

Oh, jeez, not this again.

Those dudes are killing it. I remember a day when freshmen couldn’t talk to media 🤣

I should know this, but sometimes I zone out on my run during the Coffee & Football recruiting updates - he has three Texas visits scheduled?

I can't think of a better AD for A&M. Perfect cultural & dispositional fit. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39723034/source-texas-expected-hire-nebraska-ad-trev-alberts

This was one is a favorite. The Shaun Rogers interview was fantastic, really enjoyed hearing his insights Great work, Gerry & Bobby & Blake!

Just finished it! Was logging on just to say what a great episode! Y’all are killing it!
