What keeps getting lost in all of this PAC talk is that It's still really important to put a compelling product on the field. For all but the bluebloods, viewership and brand awareness is still largely driven by fans of the entirety of the sport. Not neccesserily fans of a particular school...

For what its worth, TCU Football social media is 10x the volume since GP left the building.

So Apple TV is the latest rumor? Apple is powerful, worldwide company but Apple TV has about 25M subscribers in the U.S. making it pretty far down the list of preferred streaming providers. Seems like it would be pretty isolating for the PAC and its schools. I mean does anyone other than die...

Good point. In this entire saga I think folks are wrongly associating the PACs negotiating issues with the idea that somehow their existing brands have less value than B12 brands. As your pointing out here, that's not the case. There's no appreciative difference in the TV/media value of most B12...

Inventory/location...Once you get beyond the top 1/2 of the P5, location and inventory is much more important than brands. These linear and non linear media companies need a lot of games. They desperately need content to fill out programming and there is only so many "brands" that drive casual...

6'7 300+ going into his Sr year. That's a mountain

There are 130 FBS teams and generally less than 10 QBs considered elite in every cycle. In addition elite is really just eye of the beholder stuff. If I'm an OC running a pass pro offense did I score an elite QB by getting a 5 star dual threat? I suppose but he's most likely not going to fit my...

Seems like securing media money is a pretty important part of the poaching equation. Nobody is leaving for the Big12 patch on the jersey

Jimbo and Sark are their own OCs. Why would anyone who wants to call plays go to either school? They would be Chad Glasgow to GP.

Breaking story.... Head Coach tries to exploit the rules for his benefit.... Story as old as time.

32-27 TCU. This one feels like a bit of a grinder.

TCU is 6'4, 6'5 x 2 (if you include the H) at Wr...They should have some serious matchup advantages on the outside. Throwing quick game keeps a teams Nickel or overhang from creeping to close in run support. Its probably thrown more than people like but IMO it has it place in setting up other stuff

Pass rush is an issue but the DL criticisms are a little overblown. In this system that pressure is meant to come from a free runner. Usually a LB, S, or both. A large portion of drop backs have seen TCU rushing 3 and dropping 8 against 6 man protections. Unless you have an NFL type DL your not...

Texas A&M and Arky playing at Jerry World that same weekend. Will probably play a little bit of a TV role.

Opening games are rough bets. Still TCU owns the talent edge and its offense should be the best unit playing in this game. I wouldn't lay -14 with this much uncertainty but TCUs talent is definitely 14 better than CUs
