    FWST: TCU has a new chancellor with an ‘expansive vision’ for the university’s future

    With AI wiping out entry-level (and also more senior) white collar jobs, I think we're about to see the value proposition of a college education completely turned on its head, which was already beginning to happen before the rise of AI.

    FWST: TCU has a new chancellor with an ‘expansive vision’ for the university’s future

    This guy wears purple Chuck Taylor sneakers everywhere. How do you take him seriously?

    Buddie System Cleaning House?

    New SMU AD is doing the same. Not mad about most of it but there were a few people I liked and am sad to see moving on

    Iron Skillet renewed! (in hoops)

    I will be in Charlotte for our second consecutive appearance in the ACC Championship Game (opponent TBA) but Pony Up!

    FWST: 4 looks at the football rivalry between TCU and SMU

    AI is going to be *extremely* harmful to society in this Pony's humble opinion.

    SMU copying TCU football again. Do they ever do anything original??

    Things I wouldn’t trade with TCU right now: University leadership Institutional support Conference affiliation Coaching staff Roster

    SMU copying TCU football again. Do they ever do anything original??

    Again, this sentiment might have played in 2018. SMU has since surpassed TCU in football. I very much think folks on the TCU side will give a [Finebaum] in September.

    SMU copying TCU football again. Do they ever do anything original??

    This post might have played in 2018. Now? Not so much.

    SMU copying TCU football again. Do they ever do anything original??

    ...the obvious reason being TCU went full coward and would rather play Sam Houston and Arkansas State than preserve a 100+ year crosstown rivalry

    FWST: Fanbase may be unhappy, but TCU playing in Ireland is good for the university

    Correct. Five games per season. Although for now their annual Stanford series makes it six. Unclear if it will continue after this season.

    TalkSport: Jaw-dropping details of Bill Belichick’s $10m UNC contract emerge with stunning seven-figure bonuses on offer

    UNC's AD has to be livid. He had Jon Sumrall from Tulane lined up to be their next coach, and then some trustees pulled rank and pushed Belichick.

    FWST: Fanbase may be unhappy, but TCU playing in Ireland is good for the university

    I wish this were true, but it's not. We get a check and take UVA's place at South Bend in 2026 so that they can play West Virginia in a neutral site game in Charlotte.

    TCU Athletics wants you to know you don't mean [ Finebaum ] to them

    Yeah, but if you can't, a Week Zero game that will probably draw 3-4M viewers and put more money in the school's coffers isn't a bad setup IMO. It's also an awesome trip if you can make it. These are first world problems You also get an extra bye week during the season

    TCU Athletics wants you to know you don't mean [ Finebaum ] to them

    Massive stage for a Week Zero game and presumably against Bill Belichick in year 2 of his tenure at UNC. I wouldn't be mad about it.

    Why does TCU want to be ‘R1’? What a top-tier research university will mean for Fort Worth

    Long term I think TCU made a better decision with the medical school. I saw the residency matches for the most recent graduating class and was very impressed.

    1st CFB NIL Holdout

    I wonder if another school will pay him the $4M he wants. Sounds like USC, Oregon and ND are all out on him. Curious what the market will be. Folks on Twitter speculating about BYU, UCLA and UNC

    1st CFB NIL Holdout

    Not only did Tennessee pay him millions, they also went to the mat for him in court vs. the NCAA (and won) Saw a stat where he threw for 19 TDs last season...11 of which were against UTEP, Chattanooga and Vandy

    Stanford new head football coach

    Not sure why they'd hire a interim coach from outside the program for one year. Tough timing, but I would've tried to hire a long term option in an attempt to salvage the 2026 class with the understanding that he's got some runway to win. Now, their 2025 season is shot and they'll be way behind...

    ACC settles with FSU and Clemson

    I won't venture to make any certain guesses of what the landscape will look like in six years, seeing as how in the past four years: - OU and Texas joined the SEC - Cincy, Houston, BYU and UCF joined the Big 12 - USC and UCLA joined the Big 10 - Colorado re-joined the Big 12 - Oregon and...

    ACC settles with FSU and Clemson

    Could easily be the other way around. Come 2031, the remaining 14 or so ACC schools will be swimming in 9 figures of exit fees and what incentive will ESPN have to give the Big 12 a dime more than the ACC on another TV deal when they can just move the best Big 12 properties over to the All Coast...
