Time is proving how dumb the elite dawgs/brad peterson crowd is. Next year will be 2-10/3-9 and then another rebuild. This program won’t see 9-4 top 20 for at least a decade or until new leadership takes over.
They are certain getting the program they wanted.
In the era of nil the boosters have more control than ever especially without a really strong AD. So I don’t expect anything to change. We have found the enemy and he is us. The damage is self inflicted.
People love saying things like “viewership is at an all-time high” without really diving into why that might be the case.
I think the more correct description would be "Green Bloods"; it's all about the Benjamins!! Show me the green!!
Indiana is above average resources and outstanding coaching, Texas Tech is outstanding resources and below avg coaching. high School Joey McGuire is not the guy.
I don't think Dicky even comes close to approaching the wealth of the oil and tech billionaires funding some of programs.
Arkansas has more wealthy boosters than ole Miss but Arkansas hired a schit coach, will be interesting to see if their boosters open their wallet. They froze out Pittman.
Can’t argue with that. It doesn’t stop OM from outspending a lot of them
From what I've read, the Waltons don't give a lot to sports. They also have Jerry Jones, but don't know how involved he is.
Correct, Arkansas is broke. Their rich folks don’t donate to sports. I know this first hand.
Calipari is a good coach. And he was complaining a few months ago.
I think part of Arkansas problem is their really big money alumni don’t really care about funding Arkansas football.
That may suck even worse than our situation. At least we know we don’t have a bunch of billionaire alumni. It would be even worse to know you had the richest family in the US and they have little interest in supporting football.
The way I’ve heard it is all their big boosters got in a fight over the Chad Morris hire which Jerry jones pushed and was a disaster and after that they all got mad and said screw it. Tyson chicken dude paid for Calipari,and basketball out of his,own pocket. Silverfield was a garbage hire so I have no idea what they are doing now.
That's not parity. Previously college football was dominated by blue blood programs. We are now transitioning to college football dominated by programs who spend the most. That's not parity, it's just a new paradigm for deciding the 10 teams that have a chance to win a championship. We're in the transition period between two eras.
There’s a lot of room between winning the national championship and absolutely sucking. How about winning more than you lose, is that possible .?
That's one reason why college won't go to that model, because it would compete with the NFL and lose.
Dabo's "sit out a year" after a transfer is a pretty good solution, I think. Not really a new idea, since that how it was for many years, but it would solve a lot of the current issues.
