re: Crimson Combine replaces Spring Game :(
Posted by dustbowl on 4/12/25 at 4:01 pm
with hindsight - an option would have been to announce this year was the "Final Traditional Spring Game", hold a shortened. vanilla contest that did not reveal anything important for portal poachers or '25 season scouts. Might have spiked attendance, as the "last chance."
Work in some of the combine things they tried today, to put them in the mix for future consideration.
Simultaneously announce the following spring would be this "Fan Day/Combine" thing and have another year to figure out how to attract more attendance.
I always have the great idea, after the fact. That's just one reason I'm not the A.D.

re: OU hires Jim Nagy as GM for football

All I see here is - bigly expenses.
Hiring out staff for GM, all the bells and whistles.
How we gonna afford this?!?
We need to pay players, not non-players.

Does OU know what its doing with this? How would another way-off-campus sportsball building increase attendance? Do they have a study from a consultant that has any idea which way is up?

Ah ustacould unnerstan college football, but no more.
Back in tha days of Waymon Tisdale and Stacy King ah thought ah knowed sumpin' about basketball. But I dint, really. They were just fun to watch.
Just don't unnerstan how any coach these days can hold together 'n develop a team to climb up to the top four, 'n do good in playoffs.
Porter Moser has my admiration for his efforts. Almost impossible job. Also BV, Patty, and whoever it is who keeps the gymnastics kids doin' so well.

True his reply to the question was not a denial.
But usually its the emphatic denial that is the "tell".
Like a certain former HC who emphatically said he was not going anywhere.
Knowles statement sounds neutral.

Kudos to OP for getting the team names in correct order in the title!
The article has it backwards.

Yep, I had thought that had run its course, but not yet! For us and that other program, the buyout involved at least $100,000,000.00.
Even a simplified explanation of how they arrive at the debits and credits is complex. Copied/pasted below are just 2 paragraphs from a long article.
From a Sept. 23, 2023 article in USA Today:

"The universities of Texas and Oklahoma, two of the most powerful brands in college sports, will leave the Big 12 Conference for the SEC in nine months but will suffer a much lesser financial impact from the move than the $160 million that was originally expected, the USA TODAY Network has learned.
The Big 12 announced in February that Texas and Oklahoma will forgo $100 million from the conference under an agreement that is allowing the schools to leave a year earlier than initially required. In response to recent questions from the USA TODAY Network, the conference said more than $80 million of that is based on money the schools will not get in 2024-25, the year after the move. The rest is attributed to cuts in full revenue shares for 2023-24 that Texas, Oklahoma and the rest of the Big 12’s continuing members will be taking to finance payments promised to four schools that joined the conference this summer."

"... We’re not receiving any SEC revenue for 2024 ..."
How can that be? I thought increased revenue was a major reason to contract with a new business association, er, re-align conferences.
(That, and more likely to recruit top defensive tackles to an SEC schedule.)
