    G5 Playoff

    It wouldn't surprise me if behind the scenes there is a push from the SEC etc for a G5 playoff to happen. It would prevent this eventually winding up in the courts if they shut the G5 teams out of the CFP if those G5 teams already had a playoff system. There is less of a legal issue. The big...

    G5 Playoff

    I'd 1000% get behind this, but it'll never happen. Too many egos involved. Maybe with Aresco retired, but I doubt it. Sankey said this week that if the CFP deal hadn't gotten worked out for 12 teams, the SEC was ready to walk. There is zero doubt in my mind that the expanded playoff won't last...

    FOOTBALL Since we’ve been discussing our leadership…..

    I think we can ensure we aren't in the bottom. I still think we won't be in CUSA long term. But I also think our major chance has passed us by. It's like standing on shore waiting for the huge cruise ship to pick you up, and settling for the largest yacht. Better than the row boat we are in now...

    LADY RAIDER BB UT fires Harper

    Considering we should play them in that first month-6 weeks, I'm fine with that. They can win every game after us. 😁 Will only build up our resume.

    Tennis prepares for CUSA Championships in Murfreesboro

    Man I'm happy for the players, but moreso for CJB. He brought this program back himself and stuck through some tough years with no facilities. I mean I took tennis my last semester in spring '02 and the courts needed replaced then. And Adams didn't even exist. The effort he put forth for...

    This goes along with where this thread is heading. Debated creating a new one. Mods, feel free to move this post. This article gives some good detail in what the man behind the suits is pushing for and what most likely will be a settlement. How G5s fit in to it, who knows. He isn't after...

    LADY RAIDER BB UT fires Harper

    That's my thought too. She said in an interview that recruits she was after at Marshall that wouldn't hardly give her the time of day before are now texting her.

    I really wish we had a huge benefactor. I need to win the lottery cause my salary won't support it for sure.

    Spring Portal Tracker

    One of the ideas I've seen floated around is that football for example is no longer supported by schools...on paper. So let's say a new for profit entity is started. By ESPN and FOX together. All the B1G/SEC schools stop sponsoring football. Why? Well one, it allows them to reduce a women's...

    Spring Portal Tracker

    I would 100% prefer a wait period as well. But the thing is, the average student can transfer whenever they want. Sure $ is spent on them and there is an investment such as clothing, nutrition, etc. But there has to be a way (like a contract) to not make keeping them from transferring a legal...

    Thoughts on the spring game?

    We were that way compared to everyone. Even UTEP (even Jax if I remember right). I did an OL comparison way back when and we were easily smaller than everyone else on avg. in weight and height. Coaching has changed to help it. I mean who wouldn't want to play for a Super Bowl winning OL coach...

    This is exactly where I think it is headed. When it all is said and done there will be CBAs and the players paid. Will it be so much per year (IE $x as freshman, $xx as sophomore), who knows yet. But it'll happen. Players will be under contract. Will it just be the P2? Will the B12 be part if...

    I see it both ways. I'm in my mid 40s. Grew up in the work hard and pay your dues mentality. Was told growing up changing jobs often is bad. Now all the job sites say change every 3-4 years tops as it shows initiative to grow. So who knows. I do know this. I will watch basketball, football...

    So question. How does this work for guys like Riles that don't have tons of playing time and film? It's not like when Hartman left Wake Forest after starting several years. Do they just hope a school sees them? Do they list preferences when they enter? Or list specialties? How does it work...

    FOOTBALL MT Homecoming Date selected

    And hopefully 2-1 coming off a win over the 🐐. Miracles could happen in Oxford but I'm not betting on it by any stretch. When is the last time we won a Homecoming game? EDIT 23 Colorado St - L 22 WKU - L 21 S Miss - W 20 WKU - L 19 FIU - W 18 Charlotte - W

    Thoughts on the spring game?

    I agree. CDM said he was going to go after some depth and the trenches need more of that depth than anywhere else.

    Thoughts on the spring game?

    100%. Our regular E+ announcers of Jake Rose and Jeremy Kellum are both MT grads. I bet they'd come and have student play-by-play and color in the booth with them. Kind of use it to guide those two students during the broadcast. Think outside the box. Showcase the school. Spring games are a...

    Thoughts on the spring game?

    So I found a list on FBSchedules which is usually a reliable site. Not a single G5 school is on ESPN+, which is crazy. I know + isn't the same as ESPN3 was back in the day where they just played what we recorded, but still. With our GREAT media program there is zero reason it shouldn't have...

    FOOTBALL New conference realignment rumblings

    Thing is if they settle (and I agree they will), it opens the door for others. Supposedly the B1G wants UVA and UNC. Will they try to negotiate a way out? Anyone else in the ACC has very few options unless the B12 comes calling. And they don't want everyone. I still thing the Super League is...
