What’s really dumb about that line of thinking is that in college the coach is also the GM responsible for bringing in the players.

Personally not a fan of this. I hope the MSHSL is going to help with the cost for some of the smaller schools to buy/install these. At least buy them in bulk and then sell them to the schools at cost. It may not be a huge initial cost to many of us, but it is not insignificant for many of these...

Wonder if there would be a Kevin Warren/B1G ban on Sean Miller a la Greg Sankey/SEC on Hugh Freeze. Not entirely the same situation, but there are still a lot of issues with Miller

Seems like there has to be something else going on here. That or Maryland has a Nebraska football-esque feeling about their program.

If any of that is true. His realtor in Norman already said that the part about USC buying his houses in Norman isn't true.

FWIW the tweet that started this thread was from a pretty random person, and apparently the part about USC buying his homes in Norman is not true. As far as the other details provided in the tweet…who knows if they are true or not.

He’s going to pay a lot more in taxes in CA and was already making $8M per year. Do you really think OU wouldn’t have matched? If Mich St can give Mel Tucker $95M, then OU can surely come up with $110M

What you say about Norman vs LA isn't wrong. I've never been to Norman, but I don't think of it as a small town. I'm sure you are correct that Norman/OKC is much more football-crazed than LA. As I said in a previous post, I wonder if that wasn't actually a positive for Riley. At USC he's still...

I said something like this in the hire/fire thread, but just to throw my two cents here as well...I kind of wonder if Riley didn't like being the king in Norman. He was probably one of the most well-known guys in town, and wasn't able to go out in public very much without attracting attention...

LSU is certainly a pressure cooker, but there are also lots of advantages. And their last 3 coaches have all won national titles. Without looking it up I'm still positive no other FBS program can say that. And most coaches end up getting fired, so I'm not sure I'd say they are unique in that...

The Lincoln Riley move is an interesting one. There seem to be some rumors that he wasn't happy about the move to the SEC. Surely makes more money for the athletic department, but also makes his job a lot harder. IMO there is also something to be said about the quality of life in LA vs Norman...

UCLA is a good team. There is a lot of hype around them largely because of how they finished last season. But don’t forget that last season they barely made the tournament, and were a Mich St meltdown away from losing in the First Four. Again, not saying they shouldn’t be ranked at all, but...

That Maui final is really weak compared to past years. Notre Dame won it and then didn’t make the NCAAs a few years ago, but that one is an outlier.

Banchero got in trouble because a (barely) drunk person drove his car - that's it. It's more than likely going to get reduced if not dismissed altogether. If the same thing happened in many other states he wouldn't have been charged with anything. So it makes sense for him not to get anything in...

LSU might be the best job in college football. It’s certainly top 5. Sure, it’s a pressure cooker, but most jobs that pay $8M per year are. The last 3 coaches there have all won national titles.

Decided not to renew my tickets this year. It wasn’t really one thing, but more a combination of many factors that have been discussed here. I would usually go to about 75% of the games with my dad, my wife, or one of 3-4 different friends. Either sell or give away the other 25%. My friends all...

I actually like it. It’s better than the hockey or soccer style shootout, because it somewhat resembles what actually happens during the game. If I had to change it I’d say starting in the 3rd OT you alternate possessions from the 10 with no field goals allowed and must go for 2. It’s hard to...

Frost wanted to make sure it wasn’t a one score game so people would stop talking about him losing one score games. Smart.

Maybe the environment has changed, but this hasn’t been true in the past. The last two times we played NDSU the attendance for the game was the lowest of all our home nonconference games that year.

This is fine. Haven't seen many people too upset about it. He made a mistake, thankfully no one was hurt, he's serving a suspension, and we move on. If he makes the same mistake again then a much more severe punishment (both legally and with his employer) is warranted, and I'm sure he knows that.
