$30MM #1 class. Wow.

TAMU did exactly what many of us said we should do - but their bigtime donors (not just us lowly RF folks) also thought of it...and actually did it.

A&M is rich. Always been a sleeping giant of a program. Bad news for Texas, if they put it together.

I wonder if Notre Dame can/will pay Banks enough to leave. I also think BJM is elevated if Banks leaves, don't think the other defensive coaches want to be DC and BJM being elevated would likely keep that side of the ball mostly intact.

I agree. Since we are throwing spit wads at things...

I like the 16. The more to the party, the more fun for all, the more the players see there are other options than being stockpiled and maybe play or maybe be recruited over. Opens the playing field to all if they want to play in the big leagues. The money tree would be full for schools and players alike.

March Madness started with 16. Time to think outside the box.

Just how many Akrons, Chattanooga and Tenn Tech's on an SEC schedule to pad win totals do people need to see to make them happy and want to spend big bucks to be in Neyland? Unless you have a kid you are wanting to take, there's no reason to be there. Which is why you see Neyland half full and UT claiming they had 85 K there due to # of tickets sold, many of which were discounted.

Drop the season back a crap OOC game or two to accommodate the potential extra games in the playoffs. I bet there would be zero lost revenue because the value of the meaningful games goes up, increasing the ticket value (and price). To make it work the rival games have to go unless they are in-division. I don't see the conferences giving up the revenue for conference championship games as well as they would help determine the seeding in the playoffs. Let the west deal with Bama unless the SEC does realignment due to the Texas/Okie expansion and they fall in the east somehow.

This x100. I've been in favor of getting rid of all non conference games. Re alignment and having every league run through a 12 game schedule. Create 6 super leagues, have round 1 of the playoffs be each leagues conference championship and go from there.
This part is probably going to far but you could even have a promotion relegation system for conferences where say Cincinnati can re place the worst B10 or SEC school if they chose or they can stay in their crap conference.
Each team gets a 3 year probation period starting with their first bad year, year 1 and 2 they can argue to stay, year 3 kick them out and they can't argue

Texas making a move to the SEC has lit a huge fire under A&M's ass. They see the writing on the wall unless they get way ahead of Texas and can be THE Texas program of the SEC.

We are going to see the real hate between those programs that everyone always talks about.

If Banks leaves, I want us to throw the brinks truck at a true and proven defensive coordinator. Our offense paired with an elite defense would be so tough for opposing teams. We need to find our Dave Aranda

I think it would be better if each FBS school sponsored a FCS school

Not sure how that would work...........but an interesting idea..
There are 130 FBS schools and 128 FCS schools...........as of 2021. Next year it changes with some moving up.

Question for anyone who is good at player evaluation.

Does Squirrel our WR recruit have the type of breakaway speed we've seen from a few of those Bama receivers? The kind of speed that given just a sliver of light they are gone?

Seems Bama has at least one every year, would really like to have one here..
