Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Still think Fickell ends up in South Bend. Not sure who will be in Norman. They are making UT look competent.

Funny the media isn’t attacking them quite the same way.

Seeing some OU folks on Twitter predicting an announcement on their coach at their basketball game tonight.

Oklahoma fans, take it from someone who’s suffered through a bunch of these things: that never happens.

They are following our playbook step by step.

OMG people! Did you NOT see the post he was responding too!? It was a joke!!!

That's what I thought, but when people were responding like he was serious I started to wonder...

John Wayne Bobbits ex wife agrees

And it's a thing of beauty.

It’s be much more believable if his wife was a former Marine. We all know they are plagued with STDs.

If OU can't get Campbell, they should probably try for Venables. But I hope they continue to screw up and end up botching it worse than we did with Pruitt.

Lmao. Now imagine being a "coach of amateurs" and making $10mm a year...

Look at it in a "free market" scenario:

A 53 man NFL roster averages about $200mm/yr.

Their coaches average 6-7...let's call it 6.5mm.

So, a 53 man roster is valued at 30x their coach...in what is close to a free market (not perfectly so).


Now, in college, the average coach makes $2.8mm (and nearly double that, in say, the SEC).

Then you have 85 players that make their $100k or whatever of mostly non-cash compensation...so $8.5mm total.

Hmm. So a team of 85 are worth about 3x their HC in a completely artificial market (and in P5 leagues about 2x)...But yet 30x in a nearly-free market...

Hmm this should be a red flag as to equity and who is producing the value and who is receiving it.

The college system is no less of a "free market" than the NFL is, considering you can start a pro or semi-pro league whenever you want and pay 18-22 year olds whatever you want. Some organization making internal rules about what they are or are not willing to pay you doesn't exclude them from status as a free market enterprise.

An 18 year old agreeing to the terms and stipulations when they sign a LOI is them taking part in a free market. Especially considering they can leave and void that agreement at literally any time. Compare that to an organization like the UFC for instance.

And if it's true that the value of college sports really is carried by the athletes, and the institutions really are stealing from them, why has every attempt to make a proper semi professional league for those kids failed?

You can look at the G league has an example. If what you are implying was true, every five star basketball player would go to the G league (Or Europe or Asia) and not the NCAA. And yet, that isn't what happens.

I heard gonorrhea causes baldness...

I'll neither acknowledge nor deny that accusation. I'll just pretend I didn't see it.

Not even close to the UT coaching searches........they are an entity among themselves

Actually not bad.........

Would Dabo be worth $15mil/year?

 

[BaldBiker]

Who?

 

[Dudley Smith]

Not sure how credible a source that is, but it would be a heck of a career arc if true. From G5 coordinator to head coach of Notre Dame in one year.

 

[BigSteve09]

Who?

He was the DC and basically the one leading/doing all of the recruiting

Ok. I seriously didn't know who he was.

Brother, I’m just a VFL that knows some folks from my years within the confines of Football.

But to answer some of yalls questions…

YES it’s great to be a Vol rite now.
NO JH isn’t going anywhere.
YES we have commits, a couple are waiting for certain dates to pop.
YES, in my option we will finish Top 15 recruiting.
YES I think Hooker and Tillman come back

I’ve always tried to bring some crumbs of info to the board but some stuff you just can’t divulge, either due to not wanting to ruin a kids moment or just people flat out telling me not to say a word.

And then some posters are just rude and I don’t wanna get into words with people on a message board and that’s why I disappear sometimes.

But I’m always around and I’ll always BLEED ORANGE.

Man, all this smoke around these parts this week got me...

No. Not worth 6

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Would Dabo be worth $15mil/year?

Hell no and even Fake Joel Osteen says he’ll no
