The NIL thing is why I have become very apathetic towards our football program altogether (and I do contribute some). I think until the NIL rules are amended to where players can be paid straight out of the school's athletic budget and not just from the pockets of boosters who are already paying for tickets and game day expenses our program is pretty much dead in the water.Quote:

There absolutely does need to be a "salary cap" like in the NFL. Who knows when/if that will happen tho, and if it will even been enforced. I'd like to see something like P5 gets "n", G5 gets "n*.6", etc.Quote:

Can’t support our programs and more than that.Quote:

That's the whole sad point. You would probably help our programs much more if you took all that money you spend on season tickets and traveling to games and gave it to NIL and stayed home. Its a pathetic situation where if players can get their money I'm not sure they even care that much about who is or is not in the stands. Everything about the games for football and basketball are geared to the TV broadcast anyway. Seems nobody cares about impacts to folks that actually go to games.Quote:

That's the reality. We have comparatively few resources, fewer alumni, less money for staff and coaches, and less money for NIL than all the other programs we compete against.
But our fan base also expects we should consistently beat those teams we compete against.
There are much easier paths to prominence than being our head coach. And I would guess if there were some really good coaches out there beating the door down to be our HC after Leach passed away, that Arnett would not be our HC right now.
Until we own what we are and work collectively to do something about it, it won't change.
You are probably in the minority but I'm with ya. I'm not going to directly contribute to this system. I know.....I'm part of the problem blah blah blah. So I leave this board with you guys as I'm done with it all. Hope you guys enjoy it all.Quote:

Yes I enjoy when they win, BUT the win/loss does not affect my weekend. The game is an excuse for our family to do something out of the norm.
Hail State
We're right in the center of very fertile recruiting groundQuote:

I agree with part of that but I think the expectations have gone higher than 7-5 and there is very little appreciation for having just winning seasons. At least with some of vocal fans.Quote:

He was let go for a program that was going off the rails.Quote:

I also don't miss the days /nights of his milking the clock down to about 5 seconds or so has he made his last second decision to outsmart SEC DC's before getting the play in. His gig at Akron not going so well. Most people in life have a ceiling in their work. Croom, an NFL RB coach, JoMo an OC, and now looks like CZA a DC. We have made some very poor HC hiring decisions recently and that's on our higher ups in the administration and the "Cigar Boys', if they really even exist.Quote:

9/15/2023: We aren't showing anything yet. Looks for the O to really open up next week.
9/30/2023: We aren't very talented and all of this is Leach's recruiting faults
10/15/2023: I really like what I'm seeing on O. We were on pace for 300 yards for the game at the half
11/5/2023: We need money for the NIL
Life comes at you fast.
