I don’t think he’s interested in looking for another job right away.

I agree, and I think this is where LSU messed up at the beginning of negotiations. Kelly probably had every intention of coaching again while he was in that emotional whirlwind of the first few days.

Future Millions from another school

LSU’s 30 million now

He’d come out ahead in the long run.

He’d get a huge chunk of money now, and he would still have a yearly revenue stream in the millions for years to come.

Now he either doesn’t want to coach anymore, or his agent has tested the market, and told him his highest paying opportunities are behind him. Probably a little of both. He’d except a job and paycheck for $5M+ at a quality P4 school with some built-in advantages, but he has no interest in coaching anywhere else, much less building a program.

Now any offsets from future jobs don’t factor into his future, he wants a bigger chunk from LSU.

The potential for a 16-school capital agreement has sparked a meeting Monday among board members at five Big Ten schools and reps from the American Council of Trustees & Alumni, which believes board members have been illegally cut out of the process, they tell Yahoo Sports.

Seems like concerns are being raised at other schools as well. The relentless pursuit of huge financial windfalls have blinded athletic directors and university leaders.

Anytime they have been questioned about the their decisions or the long term implications, they have hidden behind their conference affiliations and the extra millions they are bringing into the university.

USC and Michigan haven’t signed off because they don’t have the support of the other stewards of their universities. The potential ramifications from this GoR deal crosses a line with for a lot of people that have a lot more foresight and experience than random ADs or university presidents.

I wouldn’t trust it unless confirmed by someone else. Also, where is Rapoport’s tweet?

I saw that Pine Praire scored a grand total of SIX points all season.

They were shutout nine times, but at least they showed up to play all ten games on their schedule.

Gus just lost it as Mendoza gets hit as he’s throwing, and a fluttering duck gets caught for a first.

The NOLA media establishment wants you to believe that select is the superior division, but in the eyes of the state and officially, select and nonselect are equal

---

The views of Select and Non-Select probably vary widely across the state.

There’s definitely going to be a bias against Non-Select in the NOLA area because so many good schools are concentrated in Select Div 1.

It’s more evenly split across the state. BR has Catholic in Select, but there’s also a lot of NS schools, including Central and Zachary.

Lafayette is heavily titled towards Select.

Monroe is the opposite of New Orleans. Traditional powers WM, Neville, and Ruston are all Non-Select.

Shreveport is really balanced. There’s rarely an elite team, but it’s a big district with both Select and Non-Select teams taking turns beating each other up.

MAIS is based in Mississippi, but it is an organization comprised of small private schools from several states, including a bunch of schools in Louisiana.

It’s for schools outside of MHSAA or LHSAA. It’s where many of the LISA schools went when that organization folded.

Reports of a welfare check and they didn't make contact with him. Then a crashed car with him in it with a possible self inflicted gunshot wound. So sad if true.

---

Their welfare check occurred after he crashed.

Kneeland was calling and texting family goodbye while he was the run sometime after 10:30pm. Frisco PD and Texas troopers were involved in the initial pursuit.

Meanwhile, his family and girlfriend contacted the Cowboys and Plano PD after receiving disturbing messages from Kneeland. Plano PD conducted the welfare check at his house around 11:00pm.

There were multiple agencies searching for Kneeland around the same time for different reasons. The timeline gets confusing.

What’s the deciding factor between types of welfare checks? One is stopping by, knocking on a door and maybe walking around the property.
The police only enter the residence if there are obvious signs of trouble.

Another type of welfare check involves the police meeting someone with a set of keys at the residence, could be a family member, landlord, or locksmith. Anyone that can grant them access that doesn’t require breaking down a door.
