Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

You know how you know that this thing will never take off?

It’s called “Project Rudy”

They normally try to start the project name with the same letter as the topic. So Rudy, R, Realignment. It's funny how some projects take on the character of what they're named after though. Company I worked was owned by a couple PE firms and wanted to cash out their equity. So they called it Essex. I asked my boss if it was ironic they were naming the project after a ship that was famous for the crew having to eat each other. Things didn't go well, they didn't get the price they wanted and they started trying to piece meal the company off. Still didn't get what they hoped and made less than if they just sold it for the original offers and in the meantime all the senior leadership threw each other under the bus to save themselves and while they're all still in the industry, most of them are no longer on speaking terms with each other. Turned out to be a bit prophetic in the end.

LSU Commit Bryce Underwood Declines Michigan's Rumored $10.5M NIL Deal in IG Photo

It seems Bryce Underwood won't be tempted by a massive NIL offer from Michigan. On3 reported Thursday that the Wolverines are "prepared" to offer the elite…

This is why we need to get into a power conference. NIL is about to get out of control beyond what we bring in for revenue. But one could also argue its why ACC and Big12 are destined to fall out of Power status.

This guy’s write up assumes UConn and Gonzaga to the B12 are done deals.

He has 1,000 followers. He knows nothing. Gonzaga wouldn’t have accepted pac 12 invite if they had a big 12 invite in hand.

Gonzaga would have to back out of their agreement with the PAC.

It will bifurcate between a pure professional wild west model and something that resembles college athletics as we might previously have recognized it. Very few athletic departments will be able to or want to compete at the highest level. The payroll costs will be uncontrollable, at least for a while.

A lot of programs in the P4 are going to exit that model. They will have to. UCONN will probably never compete at the highest level, but there are going to be a whole lot of programs that come back to us.

Syracuse is at 30. That would be a huge win.

Crazy. Oklahoma (5-5) lost 5 games: Tenn, Tex, SC, Ole Miss, Missou. All ranked. Now has to play #7 Bama and LSU (orv). It's what they wanted and could finish 5-7.

This is what I thought would happen to Oklahoma honestly. They should get used to being an afterthought. Maybe they can rekindle their series with Nebraska for the Didn’t you used to be Important Cup.

They’ll prob make more sitting at home as SEC team vs playing in decent bowl for big12

Oklahoma is a great example of people caring about $ over wins in college athletics. They will be a punching bag in SEC for years to come.

Oklahoma is an above average SEC program, but I think they will struggle to be one of the top programs. I think the SEC and Big 10 will go to division or pods in the future as you want more schools in the conference to win something each year.
