That would be extremely impressive if our WRs are better than last year.
As for O, he broke his leg right, not an ACL? Idk much about leg breaks but they aren’t too difficult to come back from are they? Maybe I’m being dumb
Idk know what kind of break he had. When I was in high school I had a spiral fracture of my Tibia. Was in a cast for 3 months and took me a full year to get back to normal.
Pretty sure Miller is practicing. He’s in the videos all suited up
Does anyone strongly believe in Timmons?
Joseph Williams is way better
Joseph Williams is way better
Evidently he’s doing back flips in practice, so I think he’s bounced back just fine.
Timmons has stepped up his focus enough so that they’re trying Williams inside.
He’s only doing drills. I think he’ll be non-contact all spring.
Lama, did you explain the Prime extension answer?
I felt like he is not taking more money to help with Revenue/NIL for players? Give him some serious revenue sharing options and keep the salary down and the player funds higher.
OR, is he sitting on a signed deal?
Tell me Lama, tell me!

If Timmons puts the effort in to block on the edge, I think he can be VERY good because he has the other tools but he can’t be a liability.
No clue, sorry.
His hands are very suspect, and he does not have big time speed like most of the others.
I wish him well, but I see our WR's as Ohio State like talent. Great recruiting
today's well off coach prime said to 75 (owens) "you're playing right tackle all day today" of course he was playing all over the line in later clips.
It definitely looks and sounds like they're trying different combinations. Brown played guard and tackle with both the ones and twos as well. Houston's out at the moment and the word is we're shopping for a couple more linemen, so I'd say the only positions on the line somewhat locked in are: Seaton 100%, Harden 65% and Cash 50%.
Good Times, if I remember correctly, that drive ended up bein longer than expected
Again, help me with this - are the coach’s salary and NIL from the same pot of money? I feel like they’re not.
It looked closer on the map
Completely different budgets.
At least for now. I'm not sure we know what things will look like after the NCAA settles the lawsuit from former players and institutes new rules around it.
What I think will happen:
1. All athletes will be scholarship athletes (at least a partial scholly) with no walk-on system.
2. All athletes will receive a cash stipend set at some revenue percentage of AD revenue (or a portion of revenue such as conference payouts).
3. Donations to the AD are likely not included in calculations of player stipend fund, so collectives continue as a separate NIL opportunity for players.
Yep, copy. That’s what I thought. I’m just wondering why people would say Coach Prime is holding off on a pay increase to save the money for NIL.
Both per Scott Procter
Gibson took a screen to the house in practice today (per WOM video)
Buffnik, not so much to be honest.
The Settlement is looking backwards and forwards, so let's just focus on the moving forward REVENUE SHARING bucket of $20.5 Million. That is directly within the Athletic Department Budget, and they are likely to spend say $17 Million on Football and the rest on Mens BB, Womens BB and other olympic sports.
That $17 Million has to come from our revenues, so if we have to pay $11 Million to Prime, instead of $5 Million, the budget is more balanced or manageable, so to say it is totally separate budgets is not true. Gundy took a pay cut, Norvell took a pay cut to make sure there is a more money in the Revenue Sharing Salary bucket moving forward.
Yes, NIL is separate, so maybe I should have clarified where those $$$ come from.
In other news, Taimani continues to get abused. I'm thinking that experiment is not going to last much longer. We all better get ready for some Brown at RT sightings.
I think we're saying basically the same thing.
It looks like there will be more scholarship costs due to expanded scholarship rosters but no walk ons.
It looks like there will be revenue sharing with the athletes.
These costs will go against the AD budget, which is going to make budgets much tighter.
Separate from that is NIL.
So, probably not accurate to say that Prime's contract (or anyone's contract within the AD) has anything to do with NIL. But those contracts DO impact whether a Big 12 member like CU has the resources to pay the same level of athlete stipends out of its revenue as a B1G/SEC member when our conference revenue is tens of millions less than members from those conferences.
The one thing I would disagree on is what you said about unbalanced stipends which would send a bunch more to football with other broadcasted or revenue sports getting more than the non-revenue Olympic sports. There are a lot of questions about whether that framework would survive Title IX lawsuit challenge when that legislation is supposed to ensure that the scholarship opportunities for men & women balance (50/50 or is representative of the student body) and that all athletes, regardless of gender, receive the same benefits from the university. How's this any different than if you served steak and lobster to MBB players in the athletic dining hall but only gave the WBB players cold cereal?
