Florida State and Clemson will continue complaining until 2036, but nothing significant is going to change, since ESPN and the smaller schools have no incentive to fork over more money to the top tier ACC schools. When the GOR expires in 2036 it could get interesting. Everyone wants in to the SEC and B1G, but it's unlikely the big 2 will have an appetite for most of the "Magnificent 7" Maybe the top non big 2 schools will band together in 2036 and form a new conference that will be able to sign a better per school deal then any of the current non big 2 conferences. Obviously it would be a geographic mess, but with the exception of the SEC that seems to be the trend. Sirhornsalot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear that if the PAC 10 can't get a media rights deal that's competitive with the BIG12 then it will fall apart. This seems like a very real possibility. The BIG12 would obviously take the four corners schools that they have been courting. I would also assume thay the BIG12 would take Oregon and Washington , if the B1G doesn't.

My reading of the article says he is against pushing players into the portal because it hurts the student athletes life plans. Well for better or for worse that ship has sailed. Every coach that wants to win is going to optimize their roster in every way available to them. Only time will tell how this works out. If he is able to turn the program around within a short period then all the fans and the administration will be delighted. If he can't turn things around fairly quickly then this could be accelerate his demise. Eastexhorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article also sounds like it says a first year coach can remove players from the athletic roster as long as they can remain on scholarship. I wonder if that means they can continue to be students at that university for 4 years to complete their degree. If so, that sounds like a pretty good deal. If the player can't get picked up by another team out of the portal, maybe they can stay in school on scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the first I have heard of that, but in general that sounds like a great thing. I know they do that with players that can no longer play because of injuries. Seems like they could make that available to all scholarship athletes whos athletic scholarship aren't renewed. Most of the players pushed into the portal at Texas would be unlikely to take advantage of this, since they are likely to be able to pursue their dreams elsewhere. For lower tier schools requiring scholarships for surplus athletes could put additional stress on their budgets. Coot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When players enter the portal, they are no longer on the team they were on before. If they don't land anywhere, they can ask to come back but the program isn't required to take them. I think what he was saying is, those players Sander ran off should have been able to stay and get their degrees on CU's dime. When college football began, it was about achieving in academics while playing sports for the school. Thats not how it is anymore. The education has become nothing more than a distraction. 63_Texas_1 and Eastexhorn 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
