Watched the first Fallout episode and if you liked the games you’ll love it. It’s very well done.

« on: April 09, 2024, 06:16:28 PM »Like leaving the NCAA or changing the NCAA’s required number of sports.that tv money that you’re talking about is already spoken for elsewhere. so for your scenario to play out, something will have to give.Seems weird to build up a program to be a perennial top 20 team, win a Natty, and bail for another program. How often does that happen? I don't think very often which is why I don't see Drew leaving Baylor. Seems like he has a good thing going and he can be there as long as he wants with limited pressure from fans/AD/UP.This is true but Baylor is arguably the "lowest profile" school to win a championship in recent memory. Villanova is probably the closest comparison?
Not sure school's profile matters anymore if you have NIL support + fan/AD/UP support. I think this is why we have seen some hall of fame coaches retire in the last couple years. I don't think Kentucky/KU/UCLA/Duke/Michigan State/North Carolina names will continue to hold the weight they used to. The "name" is no longer needed to bring in great players and contend for titles. The last two years represent the new NIL landscape, and I don't think many of us would have predicted not a single Blue Blood (UCONN is now BB though) making the FF.
2024 FF Teams:
Bama, Purdue, NC State, and UCONN
2023 FF Teams:
SDST, Miami, FIU, and UCONN
I think long term, NIL support will be more closely related to profile. Higher profile/blue bloods will win in the NIL/Portal era.
NIL money will be king, program pedigree will be down the list of priorities for top recruits. What WILL be a deciding factor is the number of players the program that land in the NBA. McDonalds All-Americans don't go to Lawrentucky because of it's atmosphere or tradition, they go to KU because KU have a lot of players that make it to the NBA. When the number of players KU puts in the NBA declines, so will recruiting.
I don't disagree with anything you're saying, I just expect that in the long term NIL money and program pedigree will be more closely related than they might be now.
The turning point will be when schools are able to pay their players directly. Schools outside of the Big 10 and SEC can keep up with NIL, but they can't keep up with tv money.

NIL is all that matters in getting players. If you pay the most, you will have a great team. Then you can afford to have a painful dork as a coach as long as he is good at teaching X and O. Your school can be located in a crap hole and you’ll be just fine.
Put another way, great programs are purchased.

Calipari to Arkansas is being reported as a done deal by everyone.
CBS and others allege that Drew is on the short list for Kentucky. If he went, I wonder if Tang would want the Baylor job. My guess is that he would and that the interest would be mutual.
I kinda agree with clams that Drew is probably very happy at Baylor, having built them from nothing. BUT, what I fear is a situation where Drew agrees to leave it in the capable hands of his long time co-builder and friend Jerome Tang.

« on: April 08, 2024, 12:33:08 PM »With the transfer portal, and just how college basketball rosters are constructed in general, I don't understand how different UK could be from a job at which a coach has achieved a Final 4 before. Outside of salary. If you can win a national championship at Baylor (for instance) what would UK have to offer? Just seems like more boosters to piss off.If I were a coach, I’d want two things. A guarantee to have the largest NIL in the country and the largest salary package (annual * guaranteed years) in the country.

How big of an impact on one-and-donee’s will the NIL have within three years?
Will there be fewer and fewer because they can make decent money trying to improve their game in college?

Totally- They will never be able to recreate the Arrowhead aura. I'm more saying like if they moved, I couldn't care less if they play in Wyandotte, Johnson, Clay, Jackson etc.
How bout in dallas tx?
Really doubt that could happen until Jerry Jones is dead. Austin tho, that is a boom town.

Also, the bit about conferences facing real financial hardship likely does not impact the SEC or big 10. From their perspective, who gives a crap?
Those two can watch it all burn and survive and thrive while killing the competition.
