Agreed Cruzan. Memphis just got $5 million a year from FedEx NIL. There is an open spot for G5 every year in the playoffs - with the new VA law, LU should be leader of NIL $ by 5x nearest G5 and among top half of Big 12.

I think we should do whatever Tech and UVA do as far as offering money. Those are my thoughts. I'm sure we've heard this countless of times about Jerry Sr.'s vision of competing with the best of the best. In order to do so, LU needs to get great athletes to even compete.

Congress, and everything else in D.C., is a corporate body (D.C. Organic Act [1871] 41st Congress Session 3 Ch. 61, 62), so why can't young adult athletes be paid for services under a corporate entity of entertainment?

Sounding more and more like Clemson, FSU to SEC and UNC, UVA to Big10. Louisville, NC State, Va Tech, Pittsburgh or Georgia Tech to B12. Do you think ACC could reload and compete as a Power conf? Who do you think they would reload with? If this were to occur, they might well grab OSU, WSU, SDSU, UN...

Where would they go? back to the PAC2 and picking off the best of the MWC and western AAC (which they should've done to begin with)? I think most likely, the PAC2 joins them in the ACC along with UConn and possibly Memphis. It'd still be mid-tiered "Power conference" with very good MBB but so so fo...

The idea that SMU is paying a lot of money to end up in a conference likely consisting of syracuse, wake forest, Duke, Boston College and a bunch of backfill cracks me up. I'm assuming Stanford and cal will back out of the ACC at that point. Where would they go? back to the PAC2 and picking off the...

EVERY member of the BOT was complicit in this situation and just yes men/women to Jr. They should all be replaced ASAP.

For clarification - I've been here from ('05) Karcher to Chadwell. I've seen bad D2 losses and amazing P5 wins. IMHO this Fiesta Bowl embarrassment, the way it was lost, did not help our future playoff aspirations. We would have been better off as a program winning (or losing) a lesser bowl. I thin...
