    G5 Playoff

    I'm not sure what the courts can or will do. There's already a precedent for multi-tiered athletic divisions. No court is going to rule that a program/school/conference is entitled to access to a playoff or a particular share of any $$$$'s. We already saw the B10 simply annihilate the P12...

    OT: Titans fans on the roundup....

    I like Bowers. He's not a traditional in-line TE. Put him in the slot or in motion and watch him run by a linebacker or out-muscle a DB. The entire SEC knew he was the focal point at UGA and no one could stop him. I don't think the Titans should take a TE, I just don't get the hate for Bowers...

    G5 Playoff

    You can swap teams here and there to come up with any configuration that works better for any particular party. You might even see some lower budgeted less-competitive P-conference teams drop down (or forced out), so that could alter the team's in the mix. I think the bigger takeaway is that...

    G5 Playoff

    This would work well. Ego's are a problem, but there'$ work around$ for team$ that think they're better than everyone el$e. If the $$$'s are bigger than they are now, they'll make it work. The AAC is pretty much the problem, and I get it - they're bigger budgeted, have more teams with Q-ratings...

    Spring Portal Tracker

    It's been that way for a long time. Very few of them are going to school to get an education and apply themselves in a worthy academic track towards a valuable degree. These guys ain't hear to play no school. I'm not opposed to the transactional nature of the sport these days - I simply don't...

    Spring Portal Tracker

    I'd actually love to see a soccer model. With the "premier" league being the top 30-40 teams, the next tier can be the next 30-40, and so on. With promotion and relegation allowing teams to move up and down based on merit. Players sign contracts and can be signed/bought/sold up or down the...

    Spring Portal Tracker

    I think you're taking this too personally. I eventually think we'll have employment contracts and they'll be employees. When that happens, it's possible this looks something like a soccer model - you can buy and sell players contracts. Suppose we sign a 3-star DE to a 3 year contract. He...

    Thoughts on the spring game?

    This is big (pun intended). I never thought we looked like we physically matched up on the field with many of our conference foes. We seemed small, slow, short, and less physical compared to UTSA when I saw them in person last. You're never going to win too many games when you get off the bus...

    Spring Portal Tracker

    I wonder if you could build in NIL buyouts into the NIL contract? For example, here's NIL $$$ for 2 years, but if you leave in a year, you owe $$$'s back. Another way might be that the collective keeps the rights to a player NIL after he transfers i.e. nothing is stopping you from...

    Spring Portal Tracker

    Yeah, but they don't forget about you either. If a program liked a player in high school, unless there was some really disqualifying factor (i.e. off field issue, or maybe the kid was 100% dud) - they're probably going to still like that player in the portal a year later. There's always an ego...

    Spring Portal Tracker

    Not happy with Vattiato or RIchesson? Ir is NV kicking the portal tires? With the true freshman Gagliano that's 3 'ship QBs. Doesn't look like room for another unless one is leaving.

    BASKETBALL Big Brother to the east has tough standards…..

    As a student and recent grad who lived near campus 03-06, I survived off their family packs - I could eat for a couple of days on that. Them and Fat Mo's when it opened were the reason I went from getting out of the Army at a pretty well put together 205lbs and turned into a roly poly 250-ish...

    Message from Chris to BRAA Members

    I wonder if the old adage of fire him or extend him still applies with one year left. You used to be forced to pick up the extension or the guy wouldn't be able to recruit. But with what college athletics has become, players are basically one year guys anyway, so it's not like you have to...

    BRP interview with Massaro pt. 2 coming this Tuesday

    I like the first question. I kick into the BRAA, and I'm not opposed to donating to RR, but I don't fit their one size memberships.

    FOOTBALL IYO what are the biggest storylines in spring ball?

    At this point, i just want to see what we look like scheme-wise. After that, the QB is the most important position - so how does NV and Richesson look? Do they look like they're getting the offense down? How does the OL look? In fact, how does the entire roster look - do they pass the eye test...

    NIL Kickoff Event on Saturday

    You're not wrong...for the moment because everyone is basketball crazy - it's march after all.. But at the end of the day, Football drives the bus though, and I do think they deserve some credit for what they've done for football. I don't think it was easy from either a financial standpoint or...

    NIL Kickoff Event on Saturday

    Football has nothing to do with basketball. I also disagree about the "biggest concern"....it's basketball. If I came home from work and they were playing in my basement, I still wouldn't watch. They're trying to get the new football staff off on the right foot. I wish i could make it in from...

    Official Collective is Here

    I already give to the BRAA. I just would like an option to kick in a little for NIL short of a mortgage payment.
