Exactly… This is precisely why I was screaming about what a mistake. It was to part ways with Gary Patterson.
And if the thread above pointing out that TCU only had $2 million to spend on a quarterback is accurate then obviously they should have gone the route of recruiting a superstar level...
Some of our greatest recruiting and players came to TCU to play in the MWC/CUSA/WAC. There’s no denying that the B12 we joined and the one we are in today are two very different leagues.
A lot of guys say we need a booster like Cody Campbell. But what we really need is somebody…anybody…with the brains and the balls of Cody Campbell. The dude looked at NIL, learned about it, asked a ton of questions, got answers that were official in nature, and then went out and played the game...
Not like there aren’t examples of it happening at other programs. I miss having an alpha male in charge. He was our Saban/Kirby Smart and he stopped winning enough to get away with it. But I’d have kept betting on that horse because as has been discussed around the board…what we are seeing was...
A few years ago I recall some talk of the game clocks adding a decimal place to get 1/10th of a second level accuracy. I could see where that could be the issue. If a clock struck 0 on one clock but the other had 1/10th of a second left it would still show 1 second remaining. Two different...
NFL practice squad salaries for the 2026 season are based on a player's experience level, paying a standard $13,750 per week for rookies and players with two or fewer accrued seasons, and ranging from $18,350 to $22,850 per week for veterans. [1]
Well then go through the lists that TCU and every other program has that gives the number of “NFL players” they’ve had and let them know they need to edit the list. Counting practice squad there are about 2,200 NFL players (professional football players). About 500 of those are practice squad...
Yea OK. They could all at least be on a practice squad. But $13,750 per week is a hell if a lot less than they’ll make playing for LSU. There would be a list of top 25 teams that would love to have those guys.
Saban said it was the easiest place he ever recruited to. And that was before you could just buy a whole roster using your boosters unlimited resources right on top of the table. LSU may look like more like an NFC East team than an NCAA team very soon.
