Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[knoxvol52]

Can someone explain the extra $20-$23 million we receiving to pay players with. Which sport gets what amounts and does EVERY school get the funds?

We would just scan the pages of National Geographic to get a glimpse of a boob. They were usually on African women, and they hung down to their waist

I was pathetic enough to look at the bra and panty section of JC Penney

Im starting to buy the Joey Aguilar hype, I think he is the best down field thrower we’ve had under heup, my only question is his mobility

 

[Weezer]

Hear me out:

We hire Jon Gruden as GM to help with nil

No. Gruden is our next OC. I've been preaching this for a while, but y'all fail to help it get traction.

This is gonna be a very unpopular opinion but I like Van Haggar and can't stand David Lee Roth................that being said, that is the only song besides Hot for Teacher that I can listen to.

That 1984 album is very nostalgic for me. My cousin lived behind us when I was like 8-11. He used to play that cassette all the time when we played basketball. He was 2.5 years older than me. Besides my Dad he was kinda like my hero. He was one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen, definitely the best ever where I’m from. 6’-4”, 220 freshman, star on all 3 main varsity sports as a freshman, all tri-state football freshman year. He was just a good dude and the one who got me into sports and mainly football. Was killed in a tragic house fire the day before fall football camp started going into his sophomore year.

She's too obnoxious to be hot. Even when she's not being cringy, she's not THAT hot.

Don't know much about her. What makes her so obnoxious to you?

The whole idea of universities profit sharing with athletes confuses me as well. My way of thinking isn't athletes across all sports should get equal pay. Revenue sharing should be based on what your individual sport brings into the university.

I think they do divide it up depending on that for the most part.

Give almost all of it to football pls.

 

[knoxvol52]

With this extra money these Universities will be handed each year look for schools like Villanova, Connecticut and Gonzaga to be top notch in College Basketball every season. Those schools will pump almost all funds into that one sport.

They could claim revenue share falls under title IX

Good grief, that is a tragedy.

If I'm not mistaken his dad ran for governor as a Democrat, so maybe a dem.

Better than Hendon?

You can guarantee that somehow they think they can exploit this in some way shape or form. Most unethical, morally bankrupt school in the country.

I hate Alabama as much as anyone here, but there is a much simpler explanation. Schools which lack the financial advantages of a Texas or TAMU will benefit greatly from league wide NIL sharing. It's not unlike the difference between House and Senate. California wins the House influence game, but the Senate greatly helps small states like Rhode Island.

Alabama has been at a significant disadvantage in the current NIL situation, but the changes will help level the field. We are better off than Alabama, but we certainly aren't Texas, so this probably helps us too.

I heard @TN-POSSUM is a North Korean spy. He's probably just trying to get secrets to sell to Kim Jong. . .

Actually, I'm CIA and the past 2 weeks were spent gathering intel about our European allies. During my latest reconnaissance mission, I can now confirm the bowl on the left is not a bidet, as we previously thought, it is to wash your feet in. *pic from our hotel outside of Florence



Funny story....

Every hotel we stayed at in Italy had 2 bowls in the bathroom. Milan was our 1st stop and a fairly nice place. They had what appeared to be a pull-up/balancing bar above the seatless bowl in our bathroom. My cousin travels a lot and he had told me about foreign countries having bidets but I had never seen one. When I went to the bathroom that evening (#2), I thought "well, let's give this a try." Upon inspection, the faucet turned slightly down but I thought it might rotate to the desired angle, once I was in place. Me mentally trying to work out the logistics of getting from one bowl to another to "clean" myself was probably the most confusing part, I just couldn't make it make sense. If I did what I though was "the correct procedure", I would have probably ripped the bars of the wall, fell into the shower, and still had a poopy butt. I ended cleaning my self like I always do but was still curious about the extra bowl. After dinner that evening, I asked if anyone had figured out the bidet in their bathroom yet and after some funny looks, was told it was for feet washing. I'm so glad I didn't do anything stoopid.


FYI.....the Italian hotels we stayed at didn't supply washcloths but they did install foot tubs and towel warming racks. Evidently, the Italians are big on warm towels and clean feet. We did get told to bring our own washrags, prior to the trip. I honestly don't know what the locals do.


AFYI.... most public restrooms we went to didn't have a toilet seat.... and that was for either gender. The 3 different rest stops we used had a 24/7 bathroom attendant with a mop.

It really was. He had a bright future

If Alabama is happy then it is badThey're happy because their NIL was mid compared to some other schools.

I believe they're happy because their NIL was mid compared to other top schools in the SEC and Big Ten.

I looked at the remaining bracket in the CWS tourney.

I would wager that UNC will emerge out of its bracket and make it to the CWS final.

I do believe the winner of Arkansas/Tennessee will battle with LSU to be the other team in the CWS final.

Tennessee’s side of the bracket is the toughest.

I agree with everything you just said, it makes alot of sense..........but I'm just a little cynical when it comes to the gumps, and my hatred for them can sometimes be blinding.

UT too shall be looking for opportunities to exploit this. Lest we forget that we were pioneers in the NIL space with the Nico deal.

Yeah but it's okay for us, not for them.
