What's your opinion about this? Good? Bad? No issues? Where do you stand on this topic that is only going to become more prevalent in the future?

Totally a play to pump himself up for raise. Lane Kiffin won 10 games this season for the first time in his career. Gundy has won 12 games twice and a conference championship.
Kiffen was bumped up from $4 million to $7 million. Venebels was given $7 million with no head coaching experience. Gundy will ask for more than 7 and probably get six.
Is he worth it? Last year I would've said no but now absolutely. We need to pay him market value to make our program look respectable to recruits and other young upcoming assistant coaches. Go Pokes!

• 70-79 Solid Prospect
  Still a standout player at the college level that is close to being an elite player. He has no glaring weaknesses and will usually win his individual matchups, but does not dominate in every game, especially when matched up against the top players in the country. He will usually rate in the top third of players at his position and is considered a third round draft prospect.
• 60-69 Good Prospect
  This player is an good starter that will give a solid effort week in and week out, but he is overmatched versus the better players in the nation. His weaknesses will be exposed against top competition. He is usually a prospect that is missing something from his game. For example, he has the size and skills to be an outstanding prospect, but lacks the speed. He will usually rate in the top half of the players at his position and is considered a middle round draft choice.
• 21-49 Borderline Draft Prospect
  These are players that teams like something about, but certainly do not have the full package in terms of NFL talent. A lot of times, teams will take chances on character players or developmental type athletes with this grade. And often, these are players that come from smaller schools or did not standout at the college level. NFL teams are looking for 'diamonds in the rough' with this type of prospect. He will usually rate in the bottom third of players at his position and will be considered a late round draft choice or un-drafted free agent.

Why not neutrality?

1a. Baylor
1b. OSU

3-9. everyone but KU

KU

But media will suppress and people will go on listening to media and Harma on these shots- it's all I can do to watch all this play out.

I haven't listened to the "news" people in over a year. Lots of ethical sincere journalist and medical peeps online...I like some Stew Peters, LT with And We know, Salty Cracker, Del Bigtree, RFKJ, Andre Kaufman et al

Joe Rogan has this big of an audience? If the news is propaganda- people
Will eventually leave it I hope it's happening

Do they move on from mayfield and draft a QB? seems like they have a roster full of talent and he has become the weak link.

to beat Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Texas in the same season. Colorado beat Texas 9/22/90, Oklahoma 10/27/90 and Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl to win the National Championship.

the nutjobs are after someone:

20 - 25 years ago I was telling anyone that would listen, 4 things needed to save the college game and make it fair for everyone and had I been NCAA President I would have pushed for the following:

1. Centrally negotiated TV contract just like NFL. They divide and conquer today and make the schools negotiate against each other. SO PHUCKING STUPID. NFL markets and sells the game and they start the bidding, you are bidding on the NFL as a brand and a game and also the built up goodwill of decades of branding. You are buying rights to the NFL. Networks don’t tell the NFL what New Orleans is worth compared to the NY Giants in terms of eyeballs. Equal revenue sharing for everyone. Force quality schedules to make the games more valuable. NCAA too stupid to sell just NCAA football and negotiate as one, they allow the networks to cherry pick assets and dictate terms and not pay anything in goodwill. NFL forces the networks to bid against each other, and the NFL does not bid out each conference separately.

2. Really good stipend for the players. No longer the 40’s in which value of college education is more than what NFL players were making. NFL requires some “college” to be draft eligible which forces a monopoly of athletes to the NCAA, and the NFL pays nothing for a minor league system. High school players have no other place to go. Perfect system for both entities to max out profits. I was heavily criticized by some on this Board for years saying you could never pay players. At OSU, we get about $37M a year in football media rights, that is $435K per player per year, When everyone but the players are making millions eventually they will put an end to that, and I predicted that, as well as a possible player union. College Football IS a professional business enterprise that generates billions in revenues. I agreed with Trump in that the NCAA needed their NPO status pulled and for the NCAA to be taxed, been saying that for a long time as well. Some schools are wasting tax free dollars if you ask me. To some degree, the players deserve to twist it off in the azz of the NCAA, they have been screwed for a long time. SCOTUS agreed and I predicted that eventually players would win legal challenges as well.

3. Just like professional sports, spending caps that is obtainable for most schools. NFL and NBA owners understand that they have to protect themselves from themselves and trying to buy every championship when for the ultra rich money is of no concern when you want to buy rings. Right now a handful of schools want to prove they have the biggest *ick. That does not lift the value of entire sport. As competitive balance gets worse and perhaps some schools like Tulsa just quit the game, that means a smaller national TV footprint and viewers. Less interest in the game. The game is not on a healthy track for building viewership.

4. We artificially inflate the weight of these players. To limit concussions, they needed to put weight limitations in. In the 70’s, Fran Tarkenton at the Vikings played behind an offensive line in which his heaviest OL weighed 230LBS. No one retired with brain damage back then. Fewer kids playing football today, parents scared. Participation rate is really dropping. Football as we know it headed to flag football. Again, they should have known this was coming. Anyone that played high school or above understands the forces at work when weight goes up drastically. Simple physics, some hits in football today generate the energy of a car wreck. Can be managed thru weight, technology will never get us where we need to be in terms of protecting the brain with the collisions that are happening today.

Could of fixed all of this, so easy to see and predict.

But oh my all the greed.

But that would mean closing down all of these conference offices and those high paying jobs, no reason for coaches to get millions and millions and the players very little, and for TV execs and announcers to also make millions. No concern for player safety. Players are the game. Not the schools, it is about the game, the athletic talent and that human being

The best model IMO is MLB and College Baseball. MLB if they think a guy is a stud gets his big payday right of HS. No option for football players to do that. Want to guess what Adrian Peterson would have received as a signing bonus out of HS? Instead OU got him practically for free and made a shit ton of money off him, and gave him to the NFL free of charge and delayed his earning capability and the risk of taking guys right out of HS. The adults in the room should have acknowledged that College Football is minor league sports and taken away the academic hurdle to play college football and allowed a professional football degree option. Could have offered skill lessons on how to pick an agent, interviews, nutrition, finances, extra film time, etc...

Said OU has been thru more stuff than any other blueblood in history the last few weeks and has come out smelling like a rose. Said BV might have a better shot a NC than LR, and said the QB transfer is a great player that played under Lebby already and what other program could lose CW and then come back immediately in hours with a super high QB replacement. They were saying Baylor and OSU was not afraid of CW and knew how to beat him because all he can do was just stare at 2 deep safeties and hold the ball. They are selling things are super rosy in Sooner land.

Personally, I think these are your starting 5 and the other players come off the bench in this order.

STARTERS
C = Moussa Cisse
PF = Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe
SF = Bryce Williams
SG = Bryce Thompson
PG = Isaac Likekele

BENCH
Kalib Boone (C, PF)
Keylan Boone (SG, SF, PF)
Avery Anderson III (PG,SG)
Rondel Walker (SG, SF)
Woody Newton (SG, SF)

BLOWOUT GAMES
Chris Harris (SG)
Tyreek Smith (SF, PF)
Donovan Williams (SG, SF)

OBSERVATIONS
There are not many players that can handle ICE when he is pushing the ball down the court and into the lane on every possession. I wish he would do this ALL THE TIME. He is built like a football player and muscles his way into the lane.

The Boone twins have been playing great and could start, but they seem to be okay with coming off the bench. Plus Kalib tends to get into foul trouble quickly until he settles down, so it may be best to always have him coming off the bench.

Avery has really been struggling this season. I think he is trying to do too much and it might take some pressure off if he is coming off the bench. Plus Bryce Williams has earned a starting spot (just not at PG).

Dumbasses didn't realize they were actually blaming the Democrat.

They are much better than we are

Seems like no enthusiasm at all. Which I understand completely.

We got a chance?

New podcast that one of my longtime friends is a part of. It’s just 4 middle class fathers/husbands living in a Dallas suburb that are drinking and discussing current events. Less than an hour long. Mostly libertarian, but definitely more conservative than liberal. Give it a listen.
