re: How did Dazmin James not see one snap at WR in the reg season

I'm the conductor of the fire Pittman bandwagon and think it's bullshite this kid didn't get snaps this year, but this is another reason why the portal windows have to be changed.

I’m glad you took that, I’ve been going since before he was hired.

You need to have ONE portal window and have it open between Thanksgiving and mid-December. Once that's closed, it's done. Otherwise you're going to continue seeing bullshite like this where an unknown kid balls out in a meaningless bowl game against 2nd and 3rd stringers and then portals for a payday.

Should be moved to end of February. You can shove kids into 8 week classes let them improve their grades. Have one after spring classes, and then have one right after fall camp for a week for guys who won’t be playing.

NFL does the first and last don’t they?

Basically revenue sharing will be what pays the athletes, NIL will be a thing but not like nowadays with an independent third party assigning value of a players NIL for the paying company, so if Timmy QB has a NIL value of 50k and company z is paying 1.5 million the NCAA steps in and investigates and can access penalties toward the player and program.

Been saying this for months. No reason Pascal heating and Air will be paying a player to stay when they don’t do anything for them.

Correct.

Pittman is supposed to be meeting with Hunter over revenue sharing plan going forward, both men think the can handle the payment distribution going forward. The BOT needs to step in and force the hire of a GM.

Since the revenue is based on the revenue of each schools athletic department other issues have to be ironed out such as scholarship allotments for baseball (34 full now allowed), football (102), etc. Basically the additional scholarships reduce the amount of revenue available to be shared.

In basketball for example Cal could forgo a few scholarships with he value of the forfeited scholarships added to the pot of revenue that can be shared. He only plays 8-9 man rotations so it's pointless to carry the full allotment year after year for example.

This uncertainty going forward is actually giving Pittman job security as he's done enough by getting to bowl eligiblity, but depending on how all this shakes out will dictate what kind of staff that can be afforded or needed going forward. Good news is the revenue sharing should have a clear path forward before spring ball, bad news is Pittman and HY are calling the shots of how it will be handled.

If a GM isn't brought in (the salary would reduce the revenue amount 300-500K less out of the pot), if Pittman is given the reigns, then you will need a HC with some NFL experience to handle the pay distribution. If it is the ad/GM then coaches with purely amateur experience can be largely considered.

Cal has enough experience from this time in the NBA and relationships within the NBA to handle this himself. Muss would have been qualified as well.

DVH baseball doesn't generate much of any revenue, he doesn't want the full amount of scholarships, allegedly, but he isn't expected to be competitive nationally and mediocrity has done him just fine for a long career because "that's just baseball".

Also if a coach wants to buy better players, they can take a pay cut to add to the revenue pot that can be split since the staffs salary removes money from the pot. I'm sure they will be team players and not demand more money or look for more money elsewhere like these selfish players jumping into the portal to test the waters for their value.

As far as James, he has been described as a bad practice player, less than full speed, lazy routes, giving up on the routes, lazy blocking all the things CBP hates and thus his opportunities in games were limited until the had no one else.

Most likely this, although I didn't see him in practice. Playing time is earned in practice.

I’d like to see a rule change so a kid can transfer once for any reason just like they can now, but a second transfer means they sit for a year with no NIL $.

This plus the changes proposed by Tuberville.

Won’t make Arkansas competitive again, but at least takes some of the stink away.

Anti trust violation, not a chance this happens.

We should start declining bowl offers then. We are giving away free transfer portal auditions for underclassmen. James would 100% still be here without that game

Undersized, playbook knowledge, ability to block, dropped balls in practice

If he entered without that game he'd be one of the tons of transfer portal guys that end up without anywhere to go

He’s visiting Purdue, Mississippi State, Utah, Cal and Oklahoma State. Very odd list of teams.
