    2026 – Which player emerges to big time this year?

    I haven't heard anything about Tyler Adkinson lately, but seems like there was lots of buzz about him potentially being a day 1 starter. Hopefully he can be another Anthony Hill type player for Texas.

    Non-SEC Football

    Wow. The NCAA is trying to grow a spine, at least for not obeying the 2 week portal window. "Among the potential NCAA-proposed penalties include a six-game suspension for the violating team’s head coach, to include administrative, recruiting and on-field coaching duties, a multi-million dollar...

    Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

    Reminds me of the Gary Patterson hire. Long time mostly successful coach with a defensive background that gets fired for not winning enough games recently. Assuming he and coach Boom can work well together, should be an awesome addition. Having a Stoops on our side is going to be weird.

    Potential contract year. Hopefully he realizes his potential.

    Contracts may be good, although how that would work is unclear. Currently all deals appear to be year to year, where either side can decide to move on. Are you proposing that both the schools and the athletes would sign binding multi year contracts? After the first year the contract may look...

    Sankey calls for 1 time transfer rule. As a fan I would love to see this, but if an athlete can't test his value on the open market , then schools will tend to pay athletes less, which may not be fair or legal...

    Obviously a meaningless list, but I'm Surprised Arch isn't on it.

    The SEC thread

    Refresher on the argument he was using. "Aguilar’s argument was that his junior college seasons shouldn’t count toward his NCAA eligibility clock, as only 3 of his 7 seasons were spent at an NCAA member school." This seems like the same argument used by Diago Pavia and also somewhat similar to...

    Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

    Texas cancels home and home football games against Arizona State. I will be surprised if the Notre Dame home and home happens. Unless something changes fairly soon, I'm guessing most if not all Power 4 teams will only play easy out of conference games, and that this will create problems for...

    I don't really care mich either way about this case, but it makes me think. I graduated over 40 years ago, never played any college sports. Could I theoretically petition the NCAA to become eligible to play football?

    True, and sometimes people state opinions that are just opinions, in which case being right or wrong is up for debate. Mostly on this forum those debates are friendly and respectful, which makes the space mostly pleasant.

    Non-SEC Football

    It's fine to disagree, but resorting to name calling is childish, and against the spirit of this forum. Grow up dude. I wasn't even trying to answer the questions I was asking. Only suggesting that if the answers to those questions is yes, then going independent would be fine with me. The...

    If we went independent would our schedule be as compelling? Would the school be as attractive to recruits? Would the TV money be at least as good? would our access to the playoffs be at least as good? If the answer to those questions were all yes, then IMHO the SEC wouldn't have any real...

    I also would like to see a 16 game playoffs, so not more then 16. The conference defines 9 of the 12 regular season games. With the 3-6-6 scheduling model you play everybody in the conference at least every other year. That's obviously not nothing. As far as a conference champion, I...

    CDC wants playoffs expanded. Implies that's a requirement for marquee matchups after OSU and Michigan. He isn't specific on how big the expansion should be, or what the selection criteria should be. He proposes that all teams play in week 0, and no more conference championship games, instead...
