What I've always wondered is how a D1 university benefits AT ALL from providing a non-revenue sport athlete a full scholarship and living costs plus the hundreds of thousands in extra expenses per athlete that can go with that. D1 Men's football and basketball are great marketing and produce...

I'm pretty sure I've heard softball at some southern or West Coast schools were profitable. Softball gets quite a bit of air time on ESPN in the spring. Edit: I take that back. I checked EADA and no softball programs technically operated at a profit per their data. Schools like Florida State...

The revenue sharing lawsuit was about athlete name, image and likeness. Let's face it, the true fair market value of NIL for your average cross country, rowing, swimming or even the 3rd string offensive lineman is worth exactly zero. I don't think we're done with the lawsuits.

The bolded is where we're headed if non-revenue sport athletes are legally entitled to the same compensation as the football and basketball players generating the revenue. Revenue generating sports like football will operate as separate legal entities from the universities.

Distributions won't be spread equally among all athletes in athletic departments as they exist now. It won't happen. There's too much money involved. Let's say pro-rata distribution among all athletes does happen. That scenario would give a big advantage to universities that cancel all men's...

First of all, what the DOE put out is only guidance. The lame duck DOE mind you. In other words, it's bullshit and not law. Secondly, if I understand it correctly, the whole purpose of the original lawsuit regarding TV revenue and NIL was that athletes (mainly football) felt the schools were...

As SON implied, the timing of this is odd and appears to be a political move to gum up the works for the new administration as the old administration exits. I wouldn't count on any new rules until the new administration has a chance to give some guidance. The memo language from the OP suggests...

No mention of Rush!

Monroe is already the Co-Defensive Coordinator, so maybe the "play caller" language specifies that Collins will also be in the gameday play calling role? This is probably what Heatherman's role was. Just guessing.

In poking around Heatherman to Miami story: PJ Fleck's winning percentage at Minnesota with and without COVID: .598/.611 Miami's winning percentage since leaving the JV Big East in 2004 with/without COVID: .598/.592 Cristobol's winning percentage at Miami: .579 Miami is one of those teams...

Franklin seems to cycle out coordinators faster than most. Allen seems to be the type that would mesh well with Dabo.

On a side note, when Miami sucks next year without a Heisman candidate at QB, will Cristobal's job be on the line? The Hurricanes turn coaches like a merri-go-round.

Wow. All that for a guy that was DC for one year on a team that historically has had a strong defense and a possession offense that makes it easier on the defense. Cristobal must be desperate to show the boosters that he's working on his weakness, the defense.

No state income tax in Florida way more than compensates for that.

Whatever. There are hot up and coming assistant coaches all over the place including probably on the Gopher staff already. For example, the NIU defensive coordinator has been very successful and is from Sioux Falls. There are guys like that all over the place. On a different note, who's to...

Eric Murray with a pick six for Houston vs Chargers. Playoffs first round.

Damn. ...but now go get someone even better.

This is true. This whole notion of hating transfers that start over 4-year rostered kids is leftover youth travel ball parent stuff.

To be fair, the whole Cowboy defense rated the bottom of the conference per PFF which may have been a factor. A huge switch to a few years before when Knowles had them as a top defense in the country before going to Ohio State.

The whole trend of attendance is way down from the early years. There were more ranked matchups early on. I'm guessing the Mayo had a higher bowl priority with the Big East and ACC back then? The last non-COVID game to host a team located as far away as Minnesota was A&M vs Wake Forest in 2017...
