It would still be hard to get a consensus unless you narrow it even further to just power conferences. An Alabama QB and a Kent State backup TE don't have much in common.

That's what they have fought forever. And I heard someone make a good point the other day -- there are over half a million NCAA athletes. It would be awfully difficult for that large a group to unify in such a way that collective bargaining would be easy to pull off.

I just saw EvanMiya tweet that they have a "front office suite" tool that is designed to estimate NIL value for every player in the portal.

Seeing all these other schools make moves on the coaching front while we sit idly by makes me so sad. Think of all the names this board has discussed over the past 24 months. So many have already been hired by power conference teams and are succeeding, and now the next group is being hired. All...

Porter Moser returns to Chicago to return the Bulls to glory.

The Athletic reported that Oats and Golden may be unlikely due to off-court concerns. They listed the other guys here, plus a couple others. Seemed to believe Lloyd might be the first choice for UNC but that his buyout (and May's) might make TJ the most likely choice. But it hurts UNC that all...

I don't think that's a given. I bet they would do a more thorough search. Unlike UNC, KU has a pretty darn good track record of choosing coaches. I would love for them to settle for Vaughn because I can't stand that guy and am skeptical that he would do a good job.

And there is a logical reason for the difference. With so many injuries in football, teams are far more likely to have to use backups who otherwise wouldn’t play. The four-game rule allows those guys to play without burning a season. It’s much less likely in other sports that you’d need to do...

And what’s your point? Is anyone arguing that we don’t play in a much better conference? I honestly have no idea what your point is. You started off by saying that they have been one of the most overrated programs in the county for decades. What does our conference schedule have to do with that...

Like I said last night, with Moser as our coach, my guess is that if we played their exact schedule over the past 5 years (noncon and conference), we likely would average 8-10 regular season losses. And that may or may not be good enough to make the tourney. Last year they had 8 regular season...

Advanced metrics all take level of competition into account.

Yeah, would be heard to imagine they would drag it out any longer. I know UNC is UNC, but you have to wonder if the ACC's downturn will hurt them in their search. I mean, if you are Dusty May, for example, why leave a better conference where you have things rolling and no doubt have tons of...

Any rumors on who UNC might realistically target if they pull the plug on Davis? It will really be interesting if they finally branch out of the family tree. And as others have posted, the chain reaction that would result from that decision would be fascinating.

You think he should play because he is an OU player, plain and simple. I take a consistent view regardless of whether a guy plays for OU or someone else. The same people who act like the sky is falling when Pavia or Chambliss gets an extra year of eligibility and talk about how awful it is for...

If OU had a top 7 NET ranking, I would not argue that we don't deserve a great seed. And again, you are going off one year in which their noncon schedule was somewhat down by their standards -- and yet still top 30 nationally. Comparing that to our noncon scheduling is crazy. And they didn't...
