card-carrying member of the clean-your-plate club as a kid. once I threw up after beets and stuffing never had to eat those again. to this day I still don't. also used to hate mayo but will eat it on sandwiches now if it is a light spread

This link explains it a little more in depth. Basically there are a few B10 schools who mismanaged money and need a cash infusion to get out of debt. some want security and a longer-term deal to stay in the B10. big schools want unequal rev sharing.

all that being said, frick the Big Ten, Sankey better not do this. can't imagine PE investors are gonna be okay with having olympic sports lose schools millions of dollars as well

Ohio State
Alabama
Georgia
Texas
Michigan

only jobs that are better. Notre Dame and Oregon (NIL era) I think are lateral. OU, Florida, USC are behind, then Penn State Tennessee etc.

Landry gonna help us get rid of Kelly just to hire the clown at ULL good lord man

1) cannot be like Florida. If we have the money to pull the trigger, do it now. can't let him build up goodwill. that cost UF last year, they won late and then were stuck with Billy when they could've been the top dog in the coaching market. now they're trying to get a coach when everyone else wants a new one

2) can't let Woodward make the hire. Dude hired Jimbo and CBK. once CBK is fired that will be the most and 3rd most expensive buyouts being paid of all time (assuming FSU lets go of Norvell). I don't care that he hired Mulkey or Jay. football is king. his track record is awful. don't let him make the call.

3) don't give out these massive 10 year deals. I know were LSU and we have money and whatnot but we can't be paying guys till 2035. thats just a terrible financial mistake unless you have a dude you know will be there forever. hire the guy with a 5 or 6 year deal, if he's a stud and turns LSU back into what it can be then reward him with the longer deal

Vanderbilt/GT/BYU (if GT 2nd loss is in ACC title game, they get in)

first 10 are locked in my eyes

you thought BK was a bad fit here, Campbell is just along those lines. he's a good coach but I doubt admin will let it fly with Campbell after what they've seen with BK

Rockies are up there for baseball. 5 playoff appearances in 30 years, just 2 series wins, both in '07. the worst active winning percentage among clubs in the sport. never won their division. recently, they've lost 90+ games past 4 years in a row. I get the A's being up there too

Sabres for hockey has to be the only answer. The running joke of the league

Campbell or Drinkwitz to Penn State
Kiffin to Florida
Gruden to Arkansas
Sumrall to Auburn

think a lot of it also has to do with the topography. The pocket of Appalachia with WV, E KY, SW VA is less pronounced and sits on a plateau (mountains aren't as high, hollers are more windy, and no real valleys. NC and TN have higher, more pronounced hills and longer and wider valleys, making it much easier for industry and infrastructure. I was driving from NC to IN through Eastern KY once, it took us almost 45 minutes to go 15 miles. takes us maybe 25-30 mins to go 15 on a mountain road in the High Country in NC.

tourism is also a much bigger deal in TN and NC than in WV, KY, SW VA, partly due to that topography
