Yeah, no way Baylor lets themselves get outbid.

The "victim?" You guessed it. Frank Stallone.

Drew would be stupid to take that job.

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.
:nono:
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.
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.
Like leaving the NCAA or changing the NCAA’s required number of sports.
They don't need to leave the NCAA. They already field more than the minimum number of sports and they will cut some of those to maximize what they are able to pay players.

What's Tang's buyout on his new contract?

I always wonder how current underclassmen feel about all the hype for bringing new players in

https://twitter.com/Dylan_Foster30/status/1775637668988153937
I've been thinking about this, as well. It would suck to get recruited, come in as a freshman, buy-in, practice hard to earn playing time and then have players transfer in who are guaranteed playing time/usage in the program. I guess it is just a fact of life in the NIL/portal world but it still has to suck for these guys.

Eh. They practice together and it becomes obvious who should be on the floor. It's only an issue if the coaches are guaranteeing playing time and putting the worse player on the floor out of some sort of obligation.

What usually happens in situations where a team leaves a city? What percent of fans say "eff this, I'm a Cardinals fan now" vs. what percent say "I can't turn off my Royals fandom"? And what if they change their names, does that change the percentages? Also, it's rough ridin' baseball, so how many fans just stop following the sport all together? It's pretty tough to be invested in baseball if you're not watching a team regularly.

I suspect most will stop watching entirely. I don't know any Sacramento Kings fans.

If I had a squatter in my place, I'd grab a rake and poke at him, yelling "Go on, get!!!" over and over until he stood his squatting ass up and left the premises.

An Archie Burger from Archie Burgers in CS was $0.39 ea. in the mid-80s.

I would drive to Archies on Sunday night... get 5 of those burgers and fries and then park my auto at the Fish lot.

That guy has been fat for a very long time.

Well, it's not like he could have possibly been driving both cars. That means he probably wasn't driving either one.

enraged that someone actually governed

In her defense, this is pretty much the first time someone actually governed since she started
I'm not very good at math but it seems like the MTGs of the world are focused 99.99% on performative jackassery that will earn them hits in the right wing media space which will then earn them small dollar campaign contributions and 0.001% on working to advance any actual policies.

I think it's probably better that way. I can't even imagine what a policy proposal from her would even look like.

Yeah, congrats on getting some garbage time snaps at the end of your shitty career, Rudy. Someone should make a movie about a walk-on that ended up being good. Like Jordy.

you DEI loving libtards better hope that ship cap'n was a White Male

It was flying a Singapore flag, so a white male might have been a DEI hire.

What did Francis Scott Key do? He wrote the star spangled banner. Has anyone seen the captain of that ship and Colin Kaepernick in the same room?

Why are they flying them in?

You have to remember, monumental crap for brains like #blogkaren (who has no tolerance for any criticism of his boy, Pedo Peter) will never ask that question

I don't even know that they are flying them in.

If the government is flying them in and telling them they can live here, how are they illegal immigrants?

It's completely mumped and you should figure out what will replace it.

When Mike Johnson is too RINO for your party, where do you go next? This is a man whose son is his porn accountability partner. A man who says God spoke with him and told him to be prepared to be Moses. A man who openly hates the LGBTQ+ community ....

Yet he wants the government agencies to function. Curious...

Hey guys, a new far right excuse for mass shootings just dropped.

Not the first time I've heard that one. Doesn't make much sense that the shootings haven't stopped since they overturned Roe, though.

I feel like it might be too late to add this, but potatoes should never be in a breakfast burrito.
This is correct. A burrito is already wrapped in a carb. You shouldn't put more carbs inside.

Bro breakfast is where you carb the eff up, stop being lazy
I agree but you just shouldn't constrain one carb inside another. For example, a breakfast plate with hash browns and toast piled high with grape jelly is perfectly acceptable.

On a related note, the seasoned potatoes at First Watch are really outstanding.

Buiscuits and gravy is carbs on top of carbs and B&G is awesome.

I support all of the socialism that the republicans provide to farmers.
