    Way Too Early Top 25 roundup: Cyclones a consensus top 5 pick

    Yep, sure did. Thanks. They were already gone thankfully from my consciousness a while ago.

    SEC/Big Ten Developing Plan to Share Revenue with Athletes

    Cincy would pay the same as Ohio State for NIL settlement. Not fair. How about the settlement is a % of the school's revenue? Ohio State has had athletes with more NIL and thus more damages from restricting NIL should apply to Ohio State.

    Way Too Early Top 25 roundup: Cyclones a consensus top 5 pick

    12 Big 10 teams in Lunardi's field. Wow. I get they added 4 teams, but we added 4 teams and the Big 12 is projected only 7 per Lunardi. Digging deeper, Lunardi sees a top heavy Big 12 and mediocre Big 10 with their title winner, Purdue, and Indiana with a 4 seed as best.

    2024 Transfer Portal Tracker (Wrestling)

    This portal really sucks for Northern Colorado and all small schools. After he won the title, it was refreshing to hear his post-match interview where he was proud of wrestling for UNC. Nickerson was pumped and happy like he himself won the title.

    SEC/Big Ten Developing Plan to Share Revenue with Athletes

    Dodds article is two parts: the new topic, revenue sharing. The 2nd is to reinforce - again - that the Big 10 and SEC have much more revenue than others. Thanks Dodds, not like we haven't heard that before.

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    The guy is a chucker but is a dynamic player. BYU has been able to reel back a couple guys. Maybe can do again.

    Marquette at home next year?

    Yeah, not sure why the Big 12 and Big 10 haven't set up a Challenge yet. Comparable team numbers, both Fox. SEC and ACC, both ESPN, set their Challenge up many months ago.

    FedEx pledges $25M to Memphis NIL

    Memphis gets a lot of crap (not sure why), but they have Big 12 type fan enthusiasm, good football and basketball, are a state school, have a big booster, and are in the Big 12 footprint.

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    The Missouri coach has a little George Raveling/Travis Ford in him, gets good recruits but X's and O's are lacking.

    Virginia Law to allow schools to pay players for NIL

    Instead of a new windmill design center for engineering, let's invest in getting a new QB, RB, DT, and DE.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    And Texas Tech and Ok State were trashing the Big 12 thinking it was a done deal to the P12 and that they were going to tag along. Now look at them.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Yep. It is up to the college presidents and fans to fight back against the media's interest which is consolidation. For example, if you ask Fox/ESPN/CBS, etc. about baseball, they probably would want to consolidate it down to the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, and others excluding 25-50% of the teams.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Yeah, I see the confusion, and I am guilty of using the same name when talking about different things. The Super League term was for the 80 team league proposed by the WV and Syracuse presidents. Crakes and Thompson are saying the Super League won't be 80 teams but will be a lot less, 34 teams...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Looks like Patrick Crakes and Bob Thompson are weighing in currently on the Super League. They view it happening and have rebutted the responses that people won't watch if not part of the Super League.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I haven't seen any marketing data published. I have seen the knucklehead Tony Altimore publish his viewpoint that 50% of the viewership is due to 18 teams. Crakes and Thompson are former Fox executives who I assume are as tuned in to marketing data as anyone can be, and they view that the...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Patrick Crakes and Bill Hancock (and I believe Bob Thompson) have said on 365 Sports that people will watch a Super League ("and will love it" per Patrick Crakes). I disagree. Crakes said it will be about a 30 team league and that people watching college football are not affiliated with the...

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    I hate the portal and NIL. But for guys that know they are long shots for the pros, getting the bag in college while they can is their best option for a skill people covet (basketball).

    K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

    I have a suggestion. How about Ball State against Akron instead of K-State/ISU?
