@mcm666 Tulane is one of the few non power 4 schools that are heavily invested in NIL and was prepared for rev share.
@carramrod Beard has a history in terms of whether an athletic department wants to deal with his past.
Will Wade did something that is now legal. I was one of the first calling for Wade to be looked at for the job here.
@boogie I’m sorry we’re either convicted of a crime or are we just talking about varying degrees of innuendo? What makes the allegations against Beard and more credible my accusations that Cignetti beats people?
@boogie I know for damn sure that isn’t any kind of reasonable standard for anything. Not in this country.
@carramrod it most certainly is when an athletic department is deciding on whether to invest millions of dollars into someone.
Risk vs reward. Each school is different. You don't like the answer but you don't have to. It's the truth.
Depth and development. Saban was a master at roster construction over the long haul. Not just building for 1 season. Therefore, his teams were extremely disciplined. Why? A lot of those players had been in the program 3 years or more. The Bama team played extremely undisciplined Saturday for the part of the game I saw.
Saban realized the transfer portal, worse than NIL, would impact his strategy and hung them up at the right time. He had guys that bought into sitting on the bench for a few years, then would earn their spot and rocket up NFL draft boards. That worked when you couldn't jump around like Free Agency.
First, re the title, I’m fine with that. I’d prefer the legislature, trustees, and admin focus on developing a world class university (not so sure they’re doing very well at that, though).
But second, if you want to see what a real big time program does, watch Alabama football. I’m betting that if they lose two more games this year, they’ll buy out DeBoer and pay up for a new coach. They aren’t going to suffer through four years of this.
You can have both. It wakes work and effort and a desire to want to be great at athletics and not just OK.
@boogie you are right. That is the calculus our AD apparently made. I’m just frustrated because DeVries is going to fail and the loop goes round and round.
That’s not a good investment either.
@gros-louis hey Bitch. You still getting notifications from the other thread you started? Why don’t you go back to bitch, moaning and complaining about that you fucking child.
When I want your opinion I’ll ask for it Bowl.
@carramrod what's the winning Powerball numbers since you seem to know what the future holds?

Yep…Why would he want to do all the development work only to see the player leave and use those things that Saban taught against his team. Zero continuity. The system is broken.
