The Miami Ute replied to the topic FSU Treating the Orange Bowl as a Scrimmage? in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
To tell you the truth, it actually makes fiscal sense for FSU to not even show up. I watched a show where they crunched the numbers and, once the $5.2M pie is divided amongst all ACC schools and you subtract FSU’s travel expenses, they’re really isn’t much left in the kitty.

I think that the majority of college football fandom would understand the context. In addition, why should I put my players at risk for what’s an exhibition game? Just my take, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see major college programs start using these meaningless bowl games in the same way that NFL teams use their exhibition games. You could…[Read more]

You have to be a paid ESPN shill to downvote this comment.

I think the tv execs hope that seeing USC vs Ohio St will drive the ratings and that people like me will switch over to being a UW fan (since I’m near Seattle)

If that’s what they think, then they’ve sorely misread the room and don’t have a good grasp of human psychology. As we’ve all said, people root for a particular university b…[Read more]

I’m hearing rumors that FSU is going to use the Orange Bowl versus Georgia as a glorified scrimmage. Essentially, using reserves instead of any of their starters that are eligible for the draft as a form of protest.

Depends on who wants it most…I’m pretty certain that Northwestern is going to bring their A game.

Well Jim, I won’t watch that Super League, just like I don’t watch the XFL.

The Miami Ute replied to the topic What made college football great. in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
A lot of what’s happened is because college football is big money now and the media companies have the whip hand. He who pays the piper call the tune. And the tune that they’re calling is that they want a return on their investment which requires the most marketable teams, and opposed to the best teams, to be front and center. Seriously, if the…[Read more]

It might be there in a couple of years but it certainly isn’t there now. When you have one collective of 30-40 schools that get all, not most but all, of the attention, media money, and blue chip recruits, then we’ll be there. Since the media is what’s driving this train, we might even have some sort of arrangement where the only thing…[Read more]

Tony, that’s really the one of the biggest attractions of this game. I’m really excited to check it out and see all aspects of the stadium.

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Anyone hearing rumors of Penix sitting out? in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
You don’t improve your draft stock by your performance in one or two games. It’s the body of work that counts. This is especially so with regards to guys playing in the CFP. Whatever buzz they generate in early January has long fizzled out by the time the draft rolls around in late April. In addition, the recency bias created by a great…[Read more]

I’m going as well but only because the ticket prices are reasonable and Vegas is an easy drive from SLC. Also, Vegas is an attractive place to spend a couple of days. Are we looking at the beginning of the end of college football as we know it?

I’m a capitalist and totally agree that unfettered capitalism doesn’t work. Human greed sees to that.

The Miami Ute replied to the topic I would hate to be a college football coach in December in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
You know what I think? That big-time college football programs are going to have to go to an NFL style management model in order to be successful. So, essentially you’re going to have to have a GM that’s in charge of talent acquisition and managing NIL and coach in charge of on field product and team discipline. There’s no way that, the way…[Read more]

Good question, because that’s exactly what I’d be doing. To me, it looks like the system is in its infancy and things are happening that don’t make a lot of sense. There’s a kind of “every man for himself” mentality that’s endemic right now where university collectives are just throwing money at players due to the fear of missing out. It kind of…[Read more]

Man, this video is just crazy. Shows the incredible amount of investment that’s required to maintain a top tier athletic program.

For me it’ll be when Utah is relegated to irrelevance. I don’t watch minor league hockey, baseball or basketball. So, I’m certainly not going to start watching minor league football, no matter how they package it.

The NIL Market For Players Hasn’t Reset Since First Arrival

“Look at the market right now. There are schools offering anywhere between $500,000 and $5 million for a player, depending on the position. This is now a business, and the athletes have figured out how the NIL game wor…
