Also, is 10.32 elite speed for a DE/Edge player??

Agreed. I'm not sure you can turn that corner and get to the QB if you're only slightly faster than Reggie Bush. I'm not sold on this kid. Maybe if I knew more about his extracurricular activities. Does he sing opera, per chance?
Either way he’s gonna need a redshirt year before he can knock a few tenths off that timeAlso, is 10.32 elite speed for a DE/Edge player??
Not surprised by the situation in Austin.
Moro Ojomo’s candid remarks spotlight culture battle Steve Sarkisian is waging at Texas
Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters to ask players about the culture battle. So they did.

I feel like the recruiting pitch at a place like Texas has to be: "Come here, work hard, and we'll put you in the NFL." Instead, it seems they pitch: come here and we'll treat you like a king.

NCAA schools falling short on cash-for-grades pay
With colleges allowed to pay each of their athletes up to $5,980 per year as a reward for academic performance, only 22 of 130 FBS-level schools have plans in place to do so, according to information gathered by ESPN.
thanks for this link. I somehow completely missed the news that academic bonuses for student athletes was allowable.Interesting

noting that most schools haven't taken advantage of this indicates that, for most recruits, academics are not just a low priority, they're a "don't care".
Not gonna lie, shocked that CU actually put themselves in this company.
it does fit the narrative on Allbuffs that CU places heavy emphasis on academics when it comes to our AD
Kinda yeah. But to actually provide money to the players isn’t something I thought the school would do. That could go to curing cancer.
Too much truth telling on the part of Moro Ojomo. Sarkisian's reaction to it was disappointing but very much in character. The Sark regime in Austin will very likely be short-lived and disastrous. Just as much fun to watch collapse as Scotty's in Lincoln. The UT program has been an unfocused country club for a long time.Not surprised by the situation in Austin.

I just hope those coaches win enough to get contract extensions to extend the comedy shows.
Not sure why I was wasting my time watching Collin Cowherd this morning. But he said something interesting about USC. In twelve months, USC will have a “massive announcement.” He wouldn’t divulge any details. I asked an SC buddy/donor his thoughts. He doesn’t know, but sure hopes it is not jumping to the SEC….
Probably going to happen anyways eventually.
From the western half of the US (PAC12 territory) which schools end up taking the jump and going all in on running a minor league professional football program (franchise.)
USC will go, Oregon as long as they have Nike money, probably UCLA with their wealthy alums and being tied to USC. Other than that I don't see a lot of schools willing to just flat out admit that they are running a pro sports team out of their campus with athletes getting paid more than all but a handful of university employees.
Stanford has the money and will be tempted but I think in the end they won't want to be tied to the image, same with Washington.
Arizona is having a hard time competing in football as it is but they will take at least a solid look (mostly because their basketball program already pays big money to guys who come to play, not to study.)
If there's a complete reshuffle, it wouldn't shock me if we saw a group of Notre Dame-Michigan-USC-UCLA leading a bloc of teams for a super conference that still had athletics integrated with the academic mission.
I think they might try to put on a show but in the end the money will win out and they will be professional athletes who are registered on campus.
The idea that Notre Dame is some kind of haven of the student athlete went out the window a long time ago when they went with Lou Holtz as their coach.
Some schools like Michigan/ND/etc. may draw a line closer to student athletes than the core SEC/ACC programs but in the end if the question is athletic success or academic integrity the money is going to win every time..
Right now, USC is making no pretense to be anything other than a semi pro football program. I could maybe see those other schools doing what you suggest - I have my doubts, but maybe. But USC is going all in to re-establish themselves as a football powerhouse.
Where I think things will be very interesting is with the schools who have good programs outside of football. It’s going to be hard to run a football factory at the same time you’re trying to compete in baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. Also, consider conference affiliations like Kentucky, Indiana, UNC, Duke, Arizona, UCLA, Kansas. Those schools depend in large part on revenues from their ****ty football programs to finance their elite basketball programs. If the football blue bloods form their own superconference, what happens to the revenues at those places?
We live in interesting times.
Regarding hoops, if you can get $50 a seat from 10k attendance plus parking & concessions for 20 home games along with donations, broadcast rights fees and tournament shares... you've got all you need to run an elite MBB program without football being part of the equation. Villanova, for example. But there are a very limited number of college hoops programs with direct revenues over $10M per year.
Pretty matter-of-fact
Just how I see it.
Until it happens we never know.
Pre-Phil Knight nobody saw Oregon as a big time participant in the money wars.
Almost any school could have an donor or group of donors step up and make a financial commitment that can't be ignored. Same time some schools that so far have been big spenders might just say enough.
At this point though it isn't hard to see which schools are willing to do whatever it takes to stay at the top level and which ones aren't.
CU is one of the aren't group.
Sorry, public education didn’t supply me with the Nike-esque wealth I intended to have for donations to CU. I should have taken more math classes.
Texas football isn't Alabama, which might make Arch Manning a fit for Longhorns | Opinion
If Arch Manning can bring Texas “back,” that would catapult even what his grandfather, Archie, or uncles achieved during their careers in the SEC.

Archie Manning to Austin? It was fun seeing how overhyped Texas was with Chris Simms there.

Hell of an organization you’re running there, NCAA.
