You're wrong. Bama over Oklahoma.

I know in the pros you'll get fined. But since this isn't an NCAA sponsored event, who would fine him?

I don't know if Sanford would have been paying for NIL. Much like the Ryan family with Northwestern and I think the Andersons with St. Thomas, he's more of the type to donate facilities and put his name on them. It could be a certain mindset about not paying players directly, it could be a...

That's a good question. But GG implied that it should just go away right now, when Cuban himself has said he's upping his financial support.

The ROI is personal enjoyment. It's a hobby for these uber wealthy guys. Financial return doesn't mean shit. This is like you or I playing fantasy football. Literally.

And anyone who says Miami didn't deserve to be in the playoffs is also a moron. They had a hell of a great season and deserved to be in the title game.

He's already said he wrote a very big check for next season. Do you ever get tired of being wrong all the time?

I think the big thing is they ponied up to get Mendoza. I know Cuban has said he wrote a very big check for next year, but I don't know that they had a massive payroll for this season. And one of the biggest things about this team. They literally make almost zero mistakes. I don't know if I've...

Well since he and the wife are splitsville, that saves some money.

I don't like "the committee" because ultimately it will be biased.

A lot of college stadiums have bench seating. But high rollers aren't paying thousands to get tickets to a national championship game to sit on them. That's why I said, the powers that fund this stuff are going to demand more than what that old stadium has currently.

Very likely. I know of a college basketball player, and in addition to money and a new truck, he negotiated two plane tickets for he parents to every game.

Well, there's some question whether UCLA can break their lease. But in terms of the playoffs and national championship games. Look what ticket prices are for that game. The people with that kind of money aren't likely to want to sit on aluminum benches, and there aren't many suites in that...

I think unless you see some serious investment in the facility, you're going to see the powers that be push to remove the Rose Bowl from the playoffs/championship rotation.

I'd go for either if all the conference champs are in. I would hope that if they go to 24 that this is the case, essentially mimicking what FCS does. And anyone who watched the FCS playoffs this year, they were super fun.

Yeah, all the punters are 30 year old grizzled Aussie rules guys now.

This came up on Reddit, and I thought it was funny. Miami will be playing in the title game in their home stadium. But they will be the lower seed. Will they have to vacate their own home locker room in favor of the higher seed?

Correct. It's a drop in the bucket for him. Grit isn't looking at this through the eyes of a big ego billionaire. I gave the analogy earlier - dropping millions in NIL to support the team is like you or I buying a Gopher hoodie to wear to a game.

SMU was NOT an isolated incident. If you believe that, you're terribly naive. They got the death penalty because they were seemingly unable to keep it hidden and got caught with their hand in the cookie jar multiple times. The entire SWC, with the exception of Rice, were under some sort of...

A Too Tall Tom reference! I never expected to see this today!
