Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

[renberg]

It's all about the money. The LA Times reports that over the last three fiscal years, UCLA's athletic department ran up a $102.8M deficit. Now they could get $100M per year from the B1G if it gets a one billion dollar media rights deal that is scheduled to start in 2024.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but the bottom half of the PAC 12 feels like it has a landing spot in the Big 12. The bottom half of the ACC is utterly screwed.

A lot of those schools aren’t rivals to many of the others in the Pac 12. Like, Oregon State only needs to be with Oregon for their rivalry game, but everything else they only stand to gain, as long as they do keep their spot in the power 5. That’s kind of really the scramble here is not being left with out a seat.

So it's all happening immediately. I wonder if these two conferences go to 4 Divisions or something.

I don’t have any time to pay attention to recruits anymore. Should I be excited about Dante Moore?

I heard on a podcast he's really good.

For months now he’s been pegged for Oregon so I guess not a surprise in that sense but still one that it trended that way given he’s a top guy from Michigan. Notre Dame & Michigan were considered the favorites for most of the recruitment. Pretty good pull for a first time head coach going way out of region.

But yeah it think he’s 5* on all the recruiting sites.

What happens to these big TV contracts if the conference adds like 4-6 teams. Are they now dividing the money further? Are they able to renegotiate? The SEC's new deal starts in 2024 so it would seem like adding teams just reduces the cut for everyone else wouldn't it?

Probably but they’ll make it back down the road and the bigger schools will get bigger cuts of it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think Rutgers & Maryland in recent years just started receiving full tv revenue money since they joined the Big Ten. So even before all this the conferences have generally put some long prohibition periods on that front.

In Atlanta as a first time head coach?

I am intrigued by Lanning. Great recruiter, great coach. He should obviously get a ton of credit for that defense last year, but he also had Kirby, Muschamp, and boy genius (Schumann) of staff with him and a level of talent that he won't have at Oregon. I hope he does well... at least after week 1.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Lanning was a GA on that 2015 Alabama coaching staff. Not including Saban they have six guys that are current HC’s in the P5.

OC Lane Kiffin (Ole Miss HC)
DC Kirby Smart (Georgia HC)
OL Mario Cristobal (Miami HC)
WR Billy Napier (Florida HC)
DB Mel Tucker (Michigan State HC)
GA Dan Lanning (Oregon HC)

UVA, UNC, and FSU would get absolutely f***knihilated in the SEC for football. How would you even sell that to recruits? "Come get even more exposure as we get trampled more thoroughly than we did in a much worse conference?"

I think Florida State has the capabilities to hang with the top of the SEC if their upside is tapped. But Taggart & Norvell are terrible. Jimbo quit in his ending there. So their upside as a program hasn’t been anywhere close to being maximized in the last 5+ years.

Miami and FSU are both wasted in terms of potential but I don't know that making yourselves more of a laughing stock compared to better teams is the path to a comeback. Certainly not the easier path

I don’t know how good of a HC Cristobal is. I know he’s a considered a good OL coach but he’s never been a coordinator. So he’s always had a weird career arch not too much different than Ed O. But the guy can recruit his ass off & he’s doing it right now with Miami. So they’re going to be better off that alone.

He’s got them recruiting this cycle like the Miami of old. They didn’t do that under Golden, Richt, or Diaz.

We're less than 3 weeks away from the start of the season and I'm just trying to figure out who all is interested in the pick-em contest.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I’m going out on top.

Gonna be weird not seeing the Big Ten on ESPN/ABC. I think half of my childhood grew up on those games.
