Kelvin has built Houston into a dangerous team but being ranked number 1 for a time during the regular season is not a metric that really means anything. Houston hasn’t been to the FF or won anything other than a weak conference. A lot of teams get over ranked during the season. However, kelvin has definitely done well and built a winner.

Kelvin is a couple of years from retirement.

It’s about NIL in most cases. Went to a very small event with Venables and Castiglione the other night. It was all about NIL. BV said 50% of the conversation with recruits is NIL. He said first year it was 25%.

I really hope you are right NorthCarolina when you suggest things will work themselves out. I am not sure we aren't seeing the end of amateur sports and going to an non-transparent minor league professional product. That will be fine for some, but will lose my interest.

As usual, greed and need for power, in this instance by Universities and television companies wanting to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the back of kids that aren't getting a fraction of those funds, has destroyed a beautiful thing full of tradition and loyalty. I just don't see anyway of putting the thing back in the bottle.

I am totally with you cowboysooner, I feel like my interest is dying a slow death because this current situation is not the same game I have followed for my entire life.

this is exactly what is happening and football is the driving force ..

without federal legislation that is beneficial to the "system"
the day is coming (much sooner then i want ) that football players will be ruled employees of schools when that happens they will unionize and start to share all the revenue

this will crush all non rev sports ..

RIP women’s college athletics

Not remotely true. First of all, federal law won't allow it. Second of all, some of the highest paid athletes in NIL deals are women. It's about marketability, not who the "best" athlete is.

title 9 does not apply to employees .... once football players are employees they won't even be scholarship athletes .. and all football revenue won't be part of the "system"

ie AD budgets won't be the same at all ..

womens sports might exist but not remotely at the same level as today (they will look more like club sports)

Lol ok. I'm sure that's likely given the fact women's sports are breaking attendance records and producing the highest TV ratings ever.

The sky is always falling, I guess.

and they all lose money lots and lots of money ...

Let's be sure to have this discussion again in a few years. There will be lots of additional changes to college sports in the interim, and every time, people will claim doom and gloom. And every time, they will be wrong. The NCAA has a vested interest in making people think the end is near, all while they continue to thrive and sign bigger deals and pay bigger salaries to all involved ... expect the players.

Is their NIL going to pay for the athletic department’s operating costs? Because there isn’t a single women’s college sport that is profitable across the board (some individual programs like OU softball are profitable now but the vast majority of their competitors are not profitable so the sport would go away eventually). These non profit sports mostly exist because of title 9, which wouldn’t apply anymore if football and basketball become employees. No school is going to keep around programs that lose money if they don’t have to.

Breaking records? Is there any sport, men's or women's, breaking attendance and/or viewership records?

if you don't think the end of all of this (without federal antitrust legislation) is college athletes becoming employees i don't know what to tell you ..

They already are. The NCAA just likes to pretend they aren't.

Thanks for posting.

I am as guilty as anyone of being completely off topic in many of my posts in this thread. But what's funny is that for all the people who complain about that and want the thread to solely focus on portal player news, when another guy who many on here were clamoring over for several months announces he is going elsewhere, no one even bothers commenting. I guess that sums up the expectations for our recruiting pretty well.
