    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    But how does that change ISU’s current position? This is kinda my point where you’re just saying the quiet part out loud but ISU isn’t competing with the SEC for players and you never really have been (neither has sparty for the record, Michigan is different). Vanderbilt is 12 spots higher on...

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    Those schools though have always had structural financial advantages over ISU, the board complains constantly about the fan base being extremely passionate but cheap. Texas and OU have always had huge advantages and it didn’t really help Texas.

    What would cause TJ to move?

    Hahaha well then at that point you’re just looking at a cartoon not a real person but you do you!

    Oh yeah I totally understand the mortgage business side of things. I’ve only met him a couple times but he always seemed fine. He’s a billionaire so I’m probably grading on a curve lol

    Like from another team? I wouldn’t even know what the options were.

    Ehh I don’t think most people would say he is a terrible person but he is making some decisions lately that make him look like a major douche. Sparty has other major donors (the three nba owners hate each other though) but he is the one most connected and dedicated to athletics.

    I mean my first choice would be TJ but think he’s pretty happy at ISU. After that it’s Oats and then the list gets real ugly real fast. Izzo has zero coaching tree and zero succession plan. Ishbia would be livid with a firing and I get it but I see zero way that Izzo would get fired with how...

    But whats the point of that level playing field from a reality perspective when outside the bowl game you play one P4 opponent a year? Yeah the relegation stuff is BS mostly media driven which sucks because its just trying to become a self fulfilling prophecy

    Would be difficult but there is a very real possibility that the streak gets broken with a preseason top 5 team in a god awful basketball conference. The other sports are really clicking based off his hires so he has the juice and alumni backing. I just hope Izzo take a long look in the...

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    Well outside the P2 there is the Big12 which I feel is fairly unified outside of Utah, and the ACC which hasn’t been unified in a long time. I also never mentioned unity but yeah the PAC has no one to blame except themselves for how they conducted business

    What would cause TJ to move?

    I would be surprised if he is fired. He might step down under the psudo guise of health but I don’t think he gets fired. Michigan doesn’t really fire basketball coaches that fast unless it’s a scandal. Amaker was kept for 6/7 seasons and he never even made the tournament

    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    There is media and reality. Those same media people were talking about the strength of the PAC and how they were gonna get a deal done. Now which conference is alive and which is dead? I can’t relate to the feeling having not gone through it but I do understand the concern but I just don’t see...

    I don’t think so, if that was the case he would get a golden parachute. Some cushy AD job making bank as an advisor with a big payout attached. It’s the Carr/Dantonio package. I truly think he thought this was his chance to make another run and he just couldn’t figure it out. I can say this is...
