    I’m not connected enough to know anything about how he went about it, but I know there are incentive structures at play in that regard as well. It’s not smart to burn bridges in Tulsa until the ink is dry in Memphis.

    2024 Transfer Portal

    Man, NIL money has totally changed college athletics, and not for the better. If it’s true that PJ is getting $500k+, then I can’t find it in my heart to fault him for leaving, even though I hate it for TU and for coach Konkol. That’s a life-changing amount of money if you are responsible with...

    2024 Transfer Portal

    Not debating the truth of your comments at all. I think my point is closer to “This is not sustainable. Something has got to change.” What college sports leadership needs to understand is that there are two categories of fans that they are serving: - Casual fans are buying entertainment. -...

    2024 Transfer Portal

    I’m not a big $ donor or anything, but if I was, I would chafe at the idea of contributing to NIL programs as they currently exist(on top of contributions to the actual athletic department). I imagine most big donors either love the school or love the idea of investing in the next generation...

    UTSA Game Thread

    What a game! Man, that shooting was unreal. If we shoot that that and don’t turn the ball over, we will be a problem for anyone.

    Were lockdowns, school and business closings the wrong response to Covid?

    In a word…Yes.

    All Conference

    How is Ray not 1st team if he was the leading tackler in the league and had 39% more tackles than the #2 guy?

    Cardell Williams

    Interesting stats on Cardell. Hard to justify benching him while he’s putting up these type of stats. QB controversy, here we come! Great problem to have!

    TU #195 US News 2024 rankings.

    This is very similar to what the left did with “ESG” stuff to dictate corporate behavior. A small group of people makes the yardstick that everyone else is judged by. Control the yardstick and you (indirectly) control behavior by controlling the incentive structure. The end result is something...

    TU Soccer 2023

    I might be being dramatic, but that was honestly one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen in a soccer game. It wasn’t even a foul by the TU player, let alone a yellow, let alone a red! Everything you said is exactly accurate. And it’s all compounded by the fact that the ref got to go look at it on...

    Mascot Name

    I try not to be too negative about stuff like this, but I have to agree that I was underwhelmed by the Final Four. I also would have no problem keeping the Captain Cane moniker with a refreshed look/suit. From the 4, I voted for Herc, but I like Captain Cane and some of the other ones I saw...

    This is the Democratic Party.

    Just FYI, I’m pretty sure that tweet came from a parody/troll account, not the actual Occupy Democrats’ Twitter.

    WTH is going on with Presidents and classified docs?

    If I had to wager a guess, what’s going on is that this has been going on for decades and nobody cared. Until… Orange man bad. Now Democrats and the media have painted themselves into a corner a little bit. But don’t worry, I’m sure the paint thinner is on the way!

    Temple game thread

    I was having Bishop Wheatley flashbacks tonight… one of the root problems with our offense is that teams can sag 5 feet off of both Pritchard and Gaston-Chapman when they have the ball on the perimeter (just like they did against Wheatley). That just clogs everything else up. Also, I’m not a...
