I think this is true for a lot of people, myself included. But I'm not sure it's because of the bolded sentence in the post you were replying too. It's more of teams just buying up the talent.

Then why did you respond to my post like you did? The only thing I can think of is that I criticized your previous post and therefore you felt compelled to reply. That's about how everything works nowadays when communicating.

Can't imagine a disaster would command too much salary....

I think this is the problem with expanding the roster to 105. I understand why they did it, but now Texas and all the schools above us get 20 extra kids per year that are better than the old walk on that would normally be taking up that spot.

You want him getting more money? For failing at his job and being demoted? He should be so lucky as to be able to go back to his old job with the salary it garnered. That would be us being very nice to him.

At this point in time, I'm not interested in doing something to keep him around like that. First, what new, outside DC would want the previous guy lingering around with "co" in this title? Secondly, even if he leaves, so what? I'm not convinced it was his coaching that got the secondary...

Hey, I resemble that remark! ;) That being said, my SEC favoritism is fading a bit with the transfer portal like it is.

My concern would be more of like a Joe Burrow going down against South Florida, where clearly the team that was the best during the regular season now can't even sniff the NC game because of an injury in a game they were 99.99999% likely to win. And people bring up the NFL, but look back at...

First off, nice post. You have good points. I'll try to respond in a good manner. I'm more arguing that the point differential would be worse. There were two G5 teams right? (You left out the 38-10 game). I think this is just a matter of perspective. You might be looking at it from the...

In good nature debate (versus some of the arguing on other threads lol) I'd like to respond. Just because other leagues do it doesn't mean it's the best way - it might be the best way, or most profitable way, for other leagues, but college football was unique in this regard. I think a lot of...

Great point.

The idea was that they didn't want some schools having dozens of "walk ons" who are really just scholarshipped athletes but would be using NIL instead of the scholly to pay for tuition.

Respectfully, the counter to this is that you care more about some fans of an underdog school enjoying their invite more than having a competitive game on TV. I think an easy compromise would be to have these teams play the top dogs in the OOC games. If JMU or South Florida can start beating...

Nope. Never will happen. Not to bring politics into this, but there is a better chance of a 3rd party winning the White House.
