I feel like this is kind of what Ole Miss is doing this year -- with a good team returning they went bonkers in the portal. I'm not sure they have the resources to do that year in and year out like Alabama, Georgia or Tennessee do

And anyone with half a brain knew it was going to end up like this. The NCAA lost every PR battle for 20+ years and then decided to throw the doors open with instant transfer eligibility and "NIL" almost simultaneously. What a complete and total joke this has become.

Maybe? The Chad Morris experiment was a complete disaster.

Because Sam Pittman is going to be fired in eight months

Most of the 2024 kids committed before the ACC move was official. I wonder how 2025 is going? https://247sports.com/college/smu/Season/2025-Football/Commits/

Seriously. It's a shame the Pac-12 died for multiple reasons, one of which is that it remaining viable would have virtually assured a third CFP auto-bid for the power conference schools outside of the Big Ten and SEC. If next year was this year, all seven CFP at-large bids would've gone to Big...

Not sure we're out anything. We'll make more in ancillary revenue in the ACC than we did all-in in the American.

Ha! Yeah, admittedly not a great look for our Power 3 conference but I have a hard time arguing that FSU is better than Alabama right now. Injuries suck but FSU is not the same team with their backup QBs

Why didn't Big 12 go with a 3-6-6 model and protect all of the Texas schools' games? That model would've still guaranteed every school outside of TX a game in the state every year for recruiting purposes, and could've protected other intriguing matchups like Farmageddon, the four corners and...

New Mexico was the first job I thought of that would be perfect for him. Don't have to worry as much about the NIL rat race like you do in the P5/P4, and that doesn't seem to be his cup of tea. Could also see him being firmly on the radar for UTSA or Texas State if Traylor or Kinne move up

Thank you. I am honored.

I can pretty much guarantee you that Boise State, Memphis, San Diego State and Tulane would've accepted the exact same offer that we did. They did not have an offer, though.
