    Tampa Out

    Unless their NIL deals and scholarships have language requiring it - $0. The bowl falls between semesters. Fall semester is over and spring hasn't started yet. He was with the team (I'd assume) through the end of classes & finals, so that books have closed on that. I'd imagine he'd be off to...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Schools like Texas, Ohio St, Alabama and others would have to agree to give up some of their advantages for that to happen, so it’s a long shot. They view their advantages as a birth right and have done everything the can to grow those advantages to the detriment of the sport as a whole. The...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Interesting read on Purdy’s contract as well as other income sources: Brock Purdy won't be signing a record-breaking contract any time soon, but 49ers QB making most of every cent

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The problem with the buyout theory is that nobody who has the kind of money it would take to get just one school out of the ACC would have any way to get an ROI on it. And that's really the sticking point - in addition to explaining who would put up the money, there also has to be an explanation...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    It's something that's going to vary by region, for sure. From the best of my recollection, everywhere I lived in Iowa had maybe 1 reserved spot per apartment and plenty of open parking for a second car or visitors. Everywhere I've lived outside of Iowa has been the exact opposite - maybe a few...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Assigned parking spaces. If someone is parked in my spot, they're getting towed.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Here in LA, pretty much every mid-range and up apartment building has EV chargers offered. I'm sure you could find some that don't, but it's already a pretty standard offering at this point.

    SIGNING DAY CENTRAL 2024

    The programs that go all in on the portal will find out it's not really sustainable. Kentucky had a run where it seemed like they rebuilt their roster every year with all one-and-done players. Sometimes it worked perfectly, sometimes it never really came together, and a few times things totally...

    The Fuskers appear to have gotten their franchise QB

    As long as the portion of the fanbase that thinks they should be on Alabama/Ohio St/Georgia's level exists, it will eventually poison the rest of the fanbase with a small amount of success. If Rhule (or the coach that follows him) gets Nebraska back in the conference title/CFP mix, eventually...

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    That would make sense from an athletic standpoint, but it's likely not workable from an academics standpoint, assuming players want to be at their new school for the spring semester. The CFP final is Jan 8th this year, and first day of Spring Semester starts Jan 16th (at ISU, anyway). In that...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    It was a combination of factors that saved the B12, IMO, but by far the biggest two was a lack of buyers and good enough opportunities to expand with G5 teams. The B10 and SEC took who they wanted. The ACC never really seemed interested in expanding with B12 teams. The PAC had a couple of...

    Should Florida State skip the Orange Bowl?

    Where to start with the SWC? Recruiting scandals, Texas schools being Texas schools, etc etc. Really, the final straw was the changing media landscape. After the NCAA lost control of media rights in 1984, every outside of the PAC and Big 10 sold their rights together through the CFA. That...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Eh, I don't buy it. Does the NFL really need a minor league system? They've made money hand over fist for decades and have never put any of it towards developing a minor league. To me, that means there's no ROI from a combination of improved player development or fan engagement. As big as...

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    I'd have to imagine a significant number of those kids weren't going to have a schollie at their original school for next year. The transfer portal at least gives them the opportunity to try to land one somewhere else.

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Personally, I'd be fine with this. The quality of B12/Iowa St teams probably doesn't change much unless: The top league massively increases roster sizes Playing for a top league team changes eligibility for the other leagues (ie, couldn't transfer) For the first one, I'm not sure increasing...

    F*CK IOWA

    Playing a New B10 average schedule, Iowa has a hard 8 win ceiling going forward. This is more than likely the last conference title game they’ll see unless someone can **** out a stable’s worth of horseshoes.

    F*CK IOWA

    Future win totals figured based on schedules. It’s a measure of a teams strength compared to their schedule. For example, the 20th best team playing the #1 SOS would have a lower future win total than the 21st best team playing a #40 SOS. Even though the #20 team is better, their schedule is far...

    F*CK IOWA

    Off games happen for even the best of teams. That said, it’s hard to argue getting shellacked by the one team that won 8 or more games one your schedule was an outlier when you also played a whole bunch of very close games against 5-7 and 7-5 teams. Yes, close games are their style, but 5 if...

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    This year could end up either being one of the easiest ever or one of the hardest. Four undefeated P5 Champions should be an absolute layup. On the other hand, a slew of 12-1 conference champs and 1-loss favorite programs is going to end up with some people very, very angry. With maximum...

    F*CK IOWA

    What about Kirk's description of how Cooper DeJean runs? I'm not sure if it's a worse look that the head coach is contemptuous enough to give answers this ridiculous, or the fanbase is so dumb, they believe this stuff/expect the rest of us to.
