re: How did Cam bring Auburn a title in 2010 but Jayden couldn’t do it at LSU in 2023?

When the target can keep moving and no gun to the head for wrong predictions, everyone is an expert! No real analysis needed.

I have seen posters make this comment in other threads. Can someone list them?
Taking this seriously for a change.
He's been the AP Coach of the Year twice. Only two other coaches have accomplished this, Nick Saban and Gary Patterson. Not bad, eh?

Whatever makes you sleep at night!
In a few years, 2024 in ND football will be remembered as when y'all lost 16-14 to the Northern Illinois Huskies.

Marcus Freeman is a better fit at Notre Dame than was Brian Kelly.
You could have waited till Monday, seen the result, and then posted. IF it's a loss, do you still stand by those words?
Like many have pointed out, the starting point for both coaches was not the same to even compare. If Freeman can sustain, good for y'all. :cheers:
Not that you don't see this, half the fanbase is unhappy with BK here. IMO, he most likely will win a title while at LSU. He will at least do it for himself if not for anybody else.

re: Texas vs Ohio State - Three Questions
Posted by That One on 1/3/25 at 3:29 pm
Manning will get a significant number of snaps - the kitchen and sink package to beat OSU. And, he may be the reason why Texas will win.
Eventually, I'd rather have Ped State win it all so that we don't have to hear from Texas or OSU!

ND offense is putrid and could only manage 14 points against Northern Illinois. They're not winning it all this season.

re: "Anonymous donor" adding their own personal $1 million match to what CBK is donating

NIL should not be a tax write off. I’m not sure if it is or it ain’t.
If the organization is setup as a 501(c)(3), it can be a tax write-off. For it to be a legit organization, that organization cannot technically spend more than 30% of it as paying student athletes. However, until IRS comes cracking down some of these establishments, things will be in the grey.
From the IRS:
The exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) are charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals.)
Here's an excerpt about the type of NIL collectives.
"More than 120 “NIL collectives” have been established in the U.S., many of them as tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations"
If a business directly pays the athlete and receives a service back, it can be a marketing expense.
In my research, my understanding is that companies/individuals "donating" are writing it off, either way.

No write-off as a business "expense"?
Breaking a NIL contract
Posted by That One on 12/11/24 at 9:20 am
For folks in the know, how do these NIL contracts work, especially the multi-year ones?
If a QB has a multi-year deal, what does it mean for him or whichever organization entered into contract to break it and go into the portal? Some states may even allow athletes to opt out of their contract at age 18.
What a mess!

Who paid for his training? I'm sure it's his parents.
I'm sure coaching for every sport is through the roof. I can speak for archery - it's ~4k for equipment. Every arrow is about $70. Coaching is $150 per hour. Training costs are $1500 per month. Travel for tournaments is about $20,000 per year. If you want to be trained by the best coaches in Korea, it's $5,000 per month. Archery is a sport that doesn't translate well as a profession. Same could be said for Pole Vault here.
Unless the government takes the tab for training like China or South Korea (mass production of athletes), I don't see an issue with taking the skills to a place with a better ROI. I've zero issues with Mondo living his life by choosing a country that he wants to represent.

This is all like startup companies roaming around with valuations that nobody will invest in. Occasionally, a few get funding.??
re: the best one-loss team…

The Auburn game should be a reminder.
TX over Alabama (Home loss)
FSU over Alabama (they didn't lose even with a 3rd string !)

The attitude and heart! The Heisman needs people like JD!

250 yards, 4 TDs, and still lose the Heisman to JD.
re: How would you grade Brian Kelly’s tenure so far?
Posted by That One on 11/25/23 at 11:33 pm
JD is special. I want to see how the next season goes. If he can sustain 10 win seasons, he will eventually win a few titles here with the new playoff system. Consistency is key and not many teams have shown that.
