Yes, the Big XII is superior.
>>150088091>the big12 is good now because all the teams who could win it have leftHot take. Even ass to mouth won that shitty conference, your argument is nonexistent.
>>150088195The conference title is vacant each year?
>>150087533Yeah, 2 more weeks right?
The NFL has purchased 10% of ESPN in exchange for turning over the NFL Network and NFL RedZone to Disney. I mention it because it could result in ESPN pushing NFL products more during college broadcasts. Though it's only 10% ownership of ESPN, it will give the NFL a say in college coverage and contracts.
>>150089010Oh no, what will I do with fewer commercials for insurance and trucks and goyslop and Home Depot
Seems weird that ESPN doesn't have a RedZone channel for /cfb/. I understand they can't have complete coverage because unlike the NFL, college football is split up into ten conferences in FBS, but the number of teams in the conferences ESPN does own the rights to exceeds the size of the NFL. Plus most games are on Saturday, while the NFL spreads their games out more. Makes me wonder if they had an agreement with the NFL or were scared of somehow getting sued (dumber things have been patented) if they did a /cfb/ RedZone type channel.
>>150089060This is even gayer than when they changed the name of the Georgia-Florida game to 'War for the Oar" instead of "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party".
Fuck ESPN and private equity cocksuckers
>>150089073I'm thinking more along the lines of the announcers constantly mentioning what's going on the NFL instead of talking about the game they're announcing. This already happens during bowl season when bowl games are on networks that want to push the NFL and see their bowl coverage as a way to do that.
>>150089136At least it's only for one year and it's Tech's home game, so it can be blamed on them. The corporate name is clunky but having the game in the Falcons stadium makes it unworthy of having the rivalry name. Tech is already whoring out their stadium name to Hyundai.
Then again, UGA is the one responsible for playing their game against Florida in that corporate robobutthole the next year instead of jumping on the opportunity to have it in Athens while Jax's stadium is under construction.
>>150089268Yeah and it's really stupid because Kirby WANTS the game to be in Athens to help with recruiting.
>>150089429The $20 million each team gets paid to play in Atlanta can be used to help with recruiting.
>>150088286>ending a statement with a question mark to imply inflectionGay. You are a gay man.
>>150089060The red river shootout getting rebranded is the most cucked thing on earth. How do they get the head coaches of the teams to cuck out and use the words they want? I understand them changing their graphics and controlling their announcers but they literally are able to put words into the mouths of the schools and fans too
>>150090187Coaches are employees of the university. They're going to act like employees. Fans however are free to use whatever name they want so if they cuck, they're pretty stupid.
>>150090187What is the red river game called now
>>150090289Red river rivalry lmao
>why not showdownThat's the game with A&M, lone star showdown
>>150090287Why would the university give a shit about the rebranding. My understanding is that itโs the network Jews
>>150088091>SEC - Only Alabama and Georgia can winBama has already entered its malaise period. SECW is wide open
>>150090364I'm sure there is language in the media contracts saying the conferences and schools have to use corporatespeak names

The whatever sponsor bowl name is the name of the Atlanta regular season game. It will be the same name next year when Florida/Georgia do it and whatever else matchup they have the year after. They are not referring to Georgia-Tech as this bowl name as a replacement for COFH and refer to it as such even in the description for this. So itโs more COFH at the whatever sponsor bowl for this year
>>150097053Mathematically and logically incorrect. Quite embarrassing for whatever directional school you attend.
>>150097267How many college kids can afford to make that trip?
>>150097367Good point, but ag schools still have some rich kids. There are parents and grandparents that will want to bring their college student children or grandchildren on a trip to Ireland too. If my team played in Dublin while my grandfather was still alive he would 100% take us to the game.
>>150097224I believe they are called "Potatesses"
>>150097367>Mathematically and logically incorrect.Fixed that for you. Consider the two recent โpowerโ conferences where any team could win it all: Pac-12 and Big 12.

>>150098234Why the fuck are we rating Texas like this. They lost their entire offensive and defensive lines. And the 2 dbs they lost accounted for literally 10 interceptions between them. Texas is set for a down year. I will admit that they are going to be scary in 26 with a second year starting arch and virtually the whole defense is back except for Anthony hill and a couple extremely over rated DBs
>>150098482>I will admit that they are going to be scary in 26That's actually debatable. If Deloitte actually cracks down on their NIL cap, Texas is one of the schools that could get burnt.
Also, their WR room just doesn't look great. Sark was at his best when he had elite separators like Mitchell & Worthy. Bond & Bolden were heavily underutilized this season and now he's out of speed demons.
>>150098534If Deloitte does anything it will only be to new deals. Anything signed before the House settlement is grandfathered, meaning Deloitte can't touch them. If Texas and other contenders were smart they gave their current roster + class of 2026 commits nice deals before the settlement, which will allow them to focus most of their rev share on class of 2027 players and beyond since the older players are already taken care of with grandfathered NIL deals. That strategy would buy you a few years of basically double dipping on payroll.
>>150098534Lol well the โsalary capโ shit is not happening and it would btfo all of the top teams pretty equally I think.
Seems like there has been a conscious decision by Texas to prioritize big receivers and move away from speed burners. The thinking probably has to do with wanting an effective screen game because they know they arenโt running the ball against elite defenses like Georgia taught them twice. Even with an O line with a lot of NFL guys it didnโt matter
>>150098597>>150098604We'll see. I could easily see nothing happening but there is a world where Deloitte comes in kicking and screaming to prevent themselves from getting NCAA'd.
>Seems like there has been a conscious decision by Texas to prioritize big receivers and move away from speed burners. The thinking probably has to do with wanting an effective screen game because they know they arenโt running the ball against elite defenses like Georgia taught them twice. Even with an O line with a lot of NFL guys it didnโt matterIt just seems like a terrible strategy to me. Sark's Bama offense, and imo his 2023 offense, were exactly the kind of offenses that UGA struggles with. I know Waddle & Smith don't exactly grow on trees, but 50/50 guys that don't create much separation aren't going to help much against Cover 7, especially considering UGA has some freak corners like Daniel Harris at 6'3.
This whole Trannyhan shit he's doing just feels off base. Also feels like a big waste of Arch Manning. I feel like last season was a waste of Ewers, guy looked great when he was dropping back more.

Liberals hate the entire state because politics and extends this to UF
Its odd seeing the media and neutrals hate Florida and suck off LSU every year when LSU consistently has the most fight starting, mouth running, thuggish players, fans, and admin whereas Florida players and admin are always humble, celebrate amongst themselves, talk no trash, are good sports, etc.
Walter Clayton consoles the losing player Sharp after winning the title and Florida is hated. LSU players shove players with cheap shots after losing and get praised.

๐
ULM's athletic director has resigned in protest of the school's president demanding a $9 million cut to the athletics department's $20.9 million budget. Already the smallest budget in FBS, the $9 million cut would bring the department's budget down to Division II level funding. The school only spends $8 million on the football program. To understand how small this is for FBS, Arch Manning's NIL package is worth $6.8 million on its own.
Only one FCS program, Mississippi Valley State, would have a smaller budget than ULM if the cuts are enacted. The FCS average is around $37 million.

Louisiana has too many small schools. ULM is thirty minutes from La Tech, which itself is four miles away from Grambling State. None of them are near anything of consequence. ULM has less than 8k undergrads. Grambling has about 5k, and Tech about 10k. I understand the political and historical reasons for having three schools in the same area but none of them are really doing well.
Because of the race issue, no one is going to want to touch Grambling but ULM really shouldn't exist. Long ago when it was a junior college and Tech was a mechanical school, them being different entities made sense. Now they're both comprehensive universities. Move ULM's academic programs to Tech. These aren't destination schools, they places students go because they couldn't go anywhere better. Anyone going to ULM could as easily go to Tech.
>>150105070She was bad at sports in high school, was pumped and dumped by a jock and she's still bitter about it and it shows on her face. She's 30 btw.
>>150105070>>150105203Sounds like the new order is having to make long overdue cuts and decided to prioritize academics over sports, which is what these institutions were founded to do. Small and no-name schools like ULM occasionally get squeezed out from forces beyond their control and it doesn't make sense trying to fight it.
>>150105721>that face at 30 Jesus Christ. How could you not be bitter. She must have walled at 25

>>150105721LOL, she has a grandchild so probably a bit older than that. Then again, it's Louisiana...
>A trailblazer throughout her career, Dr. Castille has been the first woman to hold several influential leadership roles: she was the first female director of NIFA, the first female inductee into the University of Louisiana Lafayette College of Engineering Hall of Distinction (2017), and now serves as the first female president of the University of Louisiana Monroe.She might be good at what she does but her bio sounds like someone getting promoted mostly for DEI reasons. As far as ULM goes, wonder if the school has a budget problem and she saw raiding the athletics department as a quick and easy way of plugging the hole. From what I can tell, she's mostly worked as an administrator of government farm programs, and has no experience with managing athletics. Or maybe she sees sports as a dead end at ULM and this is a prelude to cutting them entirely.
Students recently approved a new athletics fee to pay for a video scoreboard in the basketball arena and a sports nutrition program for the athletes.
>>150105797She looked kind of cute pre-wall.
>>150105861That a 45 year old teacher
FBS increasing the scholarship limits from 85 to 105 means adding twenty more scholarships to the football team. For schools like ULM that are 2/3rds women, it also means adding thirty more non-revenue sports scholarships for women. That means adding more women's sports, which means more facilities. ULM exists in FBS mostly as a punching bag for money but it's questionable if the amount the get from playing money games and the Sun Belt's media contract really make it worthwhile.
The big problem is that stepping down to FCS or eliminating athletics does not eliminate the debt on all the facilities they have. Maybe some of them can be repurposed for other uses but what do you do with 30k capacity stadium in the middle of nowhere? Not sure if they'd have to pay an exit fee to the Sun Belt if they're not going to another FBS conference.
ULM's most successful athletics program is their water skiing team, which isn't an NCAA sport. That means they could eliminate NCAA sports without losing water skiing.

According to open records, in 2023 Louisiana-Monroe had 117 employees that made over $100k per year. Keep in mind it's a small school in a low cost of living area. Professors at major universities make more than $100k but at a small school in Monroe, Louisiana? The faculty average is $66,455. Fifty of the 117 over $100k are instructors, the rest are mostly administrators and coaches.
>>150105981>nooo you don't understand I deserve six figures to rant about my personal life in front of the class and tell them just to read the book to actually learn anything athletics is the real problem

>>150106070None of the boys or young men in my family have any desire to go to college. They see it as expensive and don't see it as a ticket to pussy, so why bother? My nieces though, they see it as a big party and want to go. It's crazy to hear them talk about going off to college because neither of them ever mentions what's they're interested in learning, just all the fun they can have.
The only growth I can see is with immigrants whose families still see being "the first to graduate college" as a status indicator.

>In the first nine months of 2024, 28 degree-granting institutions closed, compared with 15 in all of 2023, according to an analysis of federal data provided to The Hechinger Report.
>Over 80 more schools are expected to close their doors in the next few years. The primary driver is the "demographic cliff" as middle class families that make up the bulk of the student population have fewer children. The rapidly growing size of administration and health care costs are also major factors.
>>150106233there's a reason states are implementing "direct access" programs that let you apply to all schools at the same time now, they're gonna fill colleges with the poorest niggers and beaners on federal aid that you can imagine
>>150106221Worst thing that could happen to Auburn would be to go 7-5, with them retaining Freeze. Alumni are very unhappy, donations have dried up, and interest is at an all time low. If Freeze is retained, the school may lose many supporters permanently.
Athletic Director (((John Cohen))) severely underestimated how conservative Auburn is and how many would be more turned off by a creep that forces underage girls to undress for him than by losing games. Of course Freeze managed to do both.
>>150106256That's not too surprising. As long as the federal government continues to issue taxpayer guaranteed loans, schools will continue to admit anyone with access to that money.

How college football's best WR Jeremiah Smith signed with Adidas while starring for Nike-based Ohio State
Smith has signed with Adidas, a major move for ahead of college football's 2025 season. Smith registered 76 receptions for 1,315 yards and 15 TDs last season as a 5-star true freshman sensation for the national champions, who are a unanimous top 5 team ahead of the new campaign.
How does that work?
>CBS spoke to a source with knowledge of the agreement, who acknowledged Smith would still wear Nike with the Buckeyes this season.
>"Off the field, Jeremiah will be in Adidas product, along with any brand marketing (spots) and individual social media posts," the source said.
Does off the field include when he's sitting on the sideline in street clothes injured or when he's getting off the team plane in front of all the cameras?
The source noted that a similar scenario previously unfolded for current WNBA rookie Hailey Van Lith, who initially transferred from Louisville -- an Adidas school -- to Nike-sponsored LSU (a Nike school)... Van Lith's NIL deal with Adidas carried over to Baton Rouge
"One of the most memorable moments from last season was losing my black stripe and officially becoming a Buckeye," Smith said in a press release. "Fast forward a year and I'm blessed to be adding three, joining the fastest brand in football. It's crazy to be partnering with a brand that has such a talented roster of players and that I've been wearing since I was a young kid. We're not done yet."
Smith told The Athletic of his new deal that being a part of the brand was "something special" as his football career continues to leap forward.
"I've been wearing Adidas since I was a young kid, 11, 10 years old," Smith said.
Smith joins an Adidas portfolio that includes Mahomes, Travis Hunter and former Ohio State stars Garrett Wilson and Emeka Egbuka. He shattered numerous freshman program records in 2024 and is one of this fall's Heisman frontrunners

>>150105203I played against ULM in college in baseball and they were always pretty decent. Same with Tech. I just think LA in general sucks and there's very little money in the state. I can't think of an area in LA I like.
>>150108712>I played against ULM in college in baseballdidn't ask
>>150108784I did.
>>150108712Thanks for telling me who you played against in college baseball.
>>150105797You need to put less faith in 4chan shitposts, my guy.

>>150109327honestly bro the feeling driving out of texas and into Louisiana is pretty wild. You can feel yourself going from first world to third world country. I like them though, pretty good food and funny guys with that accent are twice as funny.
>>150106703Yes, it's a vocation that usually isn't difficult to find a job doing but isn't going to make very much money in the middle of nowhere in Mississippi. It really comes down to how much do they charge in tuition and how much loan money the student take out to live on during barber college.
Tuition and fees for the twelve month program are $17,500, plus whatever money the student needs for rent, food, etc. if they're not living with someone covering those costs. Can't imagine the cost of living in Greenville, Mississippi is very high so maybe $1500 per month? That's almost $36,000 in loans to become a barber.
Their loan payment with a ten year payback will be $414. If they stay in the area, they need about $2k/month take home from being a barber. Seems doable as average barber pay in Mississippi is $4100/month. Given the rural area and being that they're just starting out, maybe $3k per month, leaving $1000 for lifestyle and savings. Not great but not bad, especially for the middle of nowhere.
>>150109423You must be from inland or west Texas driving through Houston and avoiding Beaumont.
>>150109534Probably more northern and driving through Dallas into Shreveport. I've never known anyone who thinks that, since east Texas/piney woods leads into the swamp/casino night zone and Toledo Bend areas pretty naturally.
>>150109534>>150109586yep I go through dallas

>>150110069Lol why? I actually root for a school that is the rival of the school I graduated from. I do not give a fuck, my choice of what school to attend was a business decision the athletic program didnโt factor in.

>>150110118It's funny that they went through all the trouble of adding LAtech to replace Texas State and now might have to also replace ULM. If that happens, the eastern side of the conference is going to demand they get their choice this time.
>>150110691It's a shame the American still exists as enough of an entity to not quite fall apart yet. ECU and North Texas would be fun includes.

ULM is making the football coach double as the athletic director. Back before 2000 this used to be common since football was the largest sport but that also ended up being a problem as it got some schools in trouble for lack of oversight on everything non-football and of course football tended to get all the resources, often in violation of Title IX.
For ULM, it's probably about saving money. As long as he lets the water skiing team get what it wants, doubt anyone is going to care if the women's golf team doesn't get new drivers because the football team needed a new set of water coolers.
>>150111644It's time to repeal title IX
>>150111426We opened a pretty big gap for him (I can say we because I was the lead block on the OL). He didn't puke all over himself like the Houston guy. He turned his head to the side and launched a stream of puke. Before the snap I remember hearing retching, my QB asking the RB "You good bro?" then the cadence. In college I had an OL teammate who would deliberately piss himself during practice and games just to fuck with defensive players.
Fuck the piss state lions
>>150111702I always wondered how the players pee at football games. What do you do if a player has to shit? If they get hit hard enough, do they ever shit themselves? I never see players leave the sidelines unless they're injured and I know football players eat a lot.
>>150111869>I always wondered how the players pee at football games.
>>150111869Don't tell anyone, but they piss in the pop up tents. If you see someone heading in there, and it doesn't seem like anything happened that needs to be checked. He's probably taking a leak.
>>150111644In the old days, the head football coach doubled as the AD. If anything, it's a return to tradition.
>>150111869Just go before games or during halftime for the most part. Usually you're sweating out so much liquid you don't have to piss much during games or practice. The guy who deliberately pissed himself would drink a ton of water right before and deliberately hold it in until practice/games started. If a player had to shit during practice the coaches would let him run over to the locker room, which was connected to our practice field. That was pretty rare though.
If you had to take a leak in college they always made you go to the locker room. Too many people around who might complain to someone if we just whipped it out and went anywhere outside (student trainers, students helping film practice, media, AD administrators and so on). In high school we just ran behind the equipment storage shed and pissed on it. If we had any guests at practice they couldn't see back there.
>>150112029Do football players like playing football? My best friend who was the star linebacker didn't seem to enjoy it the way he talked about it. And it kind of doesn't look like fun to play, even before I knew you might have to grapple with someone who intentionally pisses himself. Seems like running into people would get old after 3 or 4 practices.
>>150112145No football is not fun itโs war.
>>150112145you gotta love balls
>>150112145You need some kind of fucked up recessive gene to play football because it is objectively terrible to play
>shortest career>worst ratio of practice to games>I'm a 30something boomer, part of the last generation of players where nobody cared about concussions and two a days were still designed to torture you compared to the princess treatment pampered zoomies get nowadays>most injuries>unless you go to the NFL you can't really keep playing after college the way you can with adult basketball or baseball or hockey leaguesDespite all of that I still loved playing. If I had a respawn knowing what I know now I would play football again. There's nothing like running out of the tunnel or helping score the gamewinning TD.
You get to do things to people that would be illegal outside a football field. I'll never forget the play I literally KO'd a blitzing LB who didn't keep his head on a swivel and ragdolled him. It was the kind of play that made everyone in the stadium go "Ooooohhhhhhh!" Pancakes on lead blocks felt amazing, especially when you hear your RB following behind you give a muffled excited shout through his mouthpiece. Locking down the pass rush long enough for the QB to hit a WR deep downfield was awesome. You also make a lot of friends, which has always been difficult for me. And if you're a big boy (also me) it gets your ass in shape and changes your size from something that gets you bullied into something that pays for your degree.
>>150112145It becomes a job like any other sport you take seriously. You may love it but the fun aspect is lower or absent
>>150101136The hope of the gators being good this year is the only reason that I keep on living. If Lagway gets injured I am a goner.

>>150112145The rules are so gay now that it's not anywhere near as bad as it used to be. I got a concussion in high school doing the Oklahoma drill and just had to get up and get back in line. Nowadays they hit WAY less and skill guys are extra protected. I'll let my son play QB or OL one day but that's about it. Basedball is the superior sport anyways.
>>150114010>got a concussion during a game>pretty sure the other guy I collided with did too based on his reaction>happened right before halftime>coach asks me in the locker room why I took a couple plays off before halftime>tell him I think I'm concussed>pats my ass with an attaboy, congratulates me on my toughness and tells me to keep playing through the pain>played the entire second halfYeah, kids these days will never know that feel
>>150112145Itโs part of the routine, go to school you have to play football. If you donโt play football, whatโs the point of even going to school? To learn? Teachers are all fuck ups and retards who flunked out of real majors or just went to school to find a husband or slut it up away from home. Playing football was what you did for that perpetual hall pass, it was the price you paid for being treated like a human. The patches on your letter jacket gave you a voice.
The CTE dreams and waking up at 3:15 in the morning unsure whether or not you pissed yourself or if thatโs just your brain fucking up your exocrine system kinda sucks, but the alternative is way worse. Objectively. Just look at the /r9k/ me so ronery crowd. Men who donโt get laid in high school canโt make it through the day.
>>150114635Reminds me of an Iron Bowl back in the 80s. The rain was so heavy that the tv cameras could barely see the field. There was a tornado warning and this was back when an actual tornado had to be spotted to issue one, none of this "radar indicates a possible tornado somewhat" crap they do now.
The stands were still full and the players were still playing. Today they issue a lightning delay if within the last hour someone left a fork in their microwave and it generated sparks.
>>150105930>Not sure if they'd have to pay an exit fee to the Sun Belt if they're not going to another FBS conference.I thought I read somewhere that they'd have to pay the exit fee even if they drop to FCS. I guess it's possible the Sun Belt waives the fee since ULM is a drain on the conference.
>>150110691Yeah and the rumors were that adding LA Tech was partially to ease ULM's financial woes. Rushing to add LA Tech was a mistake, I'm sure the eastern schools are fucking pissed about this.
If it comes to that, Louisiana Tech and ULL probably would be leaned on by the state government to pressure the conference to let Monroe go without penalty. Given how poor ULM is, it's likely that the state government would have to bail them out on the fees. The eastern schools might be ok with waiving it just to be rid of that school. And it would give them a chit to use later.
>>150114635Now is probably the next time to play football. The helmet technology is infinitely better than the shit I had and the NIL gibs are insane. You can walk on somewhere now and make pretty damn good money if it's a big SEC school
>>150110805Every team needs a McNasty
>>150117212Helmet tech and rule changes both have made it far safer. Aftercare for injuries is also better.
Doubt walk-ons will happen much at P2 schools anymore. The House settlement changed rosters from being 125 max with 85 scholarships to 105 max, all allowed scholarship. Schools can choose to not give a scholarship to some of its players, but only poor schools needing to save money would do that. P2 schools will fill their rosters and at the bare minimum, give them all scholarships. Eliminating the distraction of minor money issues is worth it to the school.
There might be a few openings for walk-ons when someone gets injured or drops out for other reasons, but that's very different than when there were up to forty of them. And generally if you're good enough to get NIL money, you're good enough for a scholarship.
You're right that this is a golden age for playing football. Lower risk, higher reward. Eventually the wild west of payouts will be tamed, and the money will still be good but players like Arch Manning likely won't get as much a decade from now (inflation adjusted).

>>150117169>The eastern schools might be ok with waiving it just to be rid of that school. And it would give them a chit to use later.I'm sure this is what would happen. Any Sun Belt AD with a brain should want ULM gone, why would they try to prevent them from leaving of their own volition?
>>150117050LA Tech is an upgrade over ULM anyway. If the eastern schools are pissed about it, maybe theyโre just as poor as ULM.
>>150117402>eastern schools are pissed about it, maybe theyโre just as poor as ULMThey all make significantly more money than ULM, but okay dude
>>150110069>>150110347Now show your student debt for your retard slip you call a degree.
>spending 40k for a good goy slipKEK
>>150117509No one with even half a brain pays for grad school. If you can't get it for free, you shouldn't be going.
Never forget that these fuckers attempted to kill the Mountain West with no survivors.
They played the "woe is us, we got left behind" card for 2 years, only to orchestrate a plan to kill glorious Hawaii, Nevada, San Jose State, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
Based Air Force + UNLV allowed the Mountain West to survive. And we are all better because of it.
>>150118189Why are you so over dramatic lmao
They were always going to be fine
>>150117402Don't worry, the Eastern schools (specifically App State, JMU, and ODU) will join the American in the next realignment cycle to play ECU and Charlotte.
>>150117212I'm good.
My sons will be golfers or lax bros.
>>150118237Because he's a fan of one of those that got left behind in the Mountain West. He was excited about a conference merger elevating his program by giving it PAC12 membership which it didn't earn. When instead the PAC12 just picked the best of the Mountain West, and his team wasn't one of them, suddenly the whole thing was evil. Truth is the bottom of the conference had been draining the top schools and now that's ending. The Mountain West will fall in prestige and the programs in it will slide further down the G6 ladder, closer to CUSA territory.
>>150113978it just means more
>>150111223he literally OWOs
>>150113978At Auburn we have this one figured out: you can't lose a bowl if you don't play in a bowl.
So why did the 5 mountain west schools agree to leave the mw for the pac, when it's just WOSU, Gonzaga, and Texas State that they'd be joining? I'd understand if they also got Memphis and Tulane to bounce from the American, but is it really all that much of an upgrade now? Especially now that the MW is asking for like 150 gorillian dollars in damages?
