US leads Jamaica 3-0 (4-0 agg) in leg 2 of the Nations League quarterfinals. Pulisic with 2 goals and Pepi with the third. The US has thoroughly dominated this game. Probably 75% possession and what the US is doing with movement is insane tonight. And I can't tell you what formation the US is playing. It's a blob really and the only 2 really defined roles are Ream and Richards at the CB spots. Jedi is playing a hybrid 6/8 role tonight but dropping into his left FB role when he needs to defend. I think Jamaica has a shot on goal but it's from 35 yards and not a tester at all. And the US could legit have 5 goals tonight. One of the better all around performances I've seen from this group in a long time. Passing has been crisp and on target and on time. Pulisic and Weah have been weaving in and out so much they look like the Harlem Globetrotters.

And Pulisic's first goal was world class. Not sure who put the service in for him, maybe Musah, but Pulisic half volleyed it into the goal past Blake who was spewing out to challenge.

Makes no sense!

He was arrested for assault on a child in NYC. He was released and then requested to be flown to Atlanta which we apparently did. The question remains….why are we flying illegals across the country ?

I agree in this particular case justice was not served.

Actually as a percentage of funds raised, some coaches are underpaid. If I’m the procuring cause of $100 million in donations, being paid $2 million is underpayment. And some coaches can do that. Graham helped raise far more than his $1million salary. I’m not sure what the policy is going forward, but one of the reasons TU sports is in the condition it’s in is that previous leadership forbade the athletic staff from raising money except when authorized.

And I'm sure that some of those people inhibiting the freedom of donations keep their mouths shut a lot more, when someone like Wilson is recrutiting a higher academic level football player.(some that got ivy league offers) It doesn't hurt that he cleaned up the performance of existing players either. That makes it a lot easier to take donations towards athletics with less grumblings from the ivory tower. That was probably the level he was truly a bridge coach, as you have stated how he might be considered.

I thought I read he was making $1.6/yr
Tulsa needs to think outside the box and be the first university to offer an incentive based pay structure.
Your salary is contingent on how many wins you get each season. Why should it be any different than a commission-based job?

I was talking about this with a family member the other day , it’s insane how much college coaches make and how dumb it is for universities to make such bad contracts

I wouldn’t be so quick to conclude he makes $1.9 btw. It might be that after every incentive. Maybe.

And here we are not getting any interviews underway while the competition does.

What’s interesting is that our opponents websites almost always publish this information before ours, even for home games.
