I just dipped my toes into PE here in Texas and it’s been great so far. I hear all these horror stories of PE but so far it seems to be going well.
It always starts good because they talk a big game and make early investments.
Then the short term thinking kicks in and shite hits the fan.

re: Louisiana Raises Sports Betting Taxes to Fund D1 Athletics (Funds not NIL Eligible)

Remember that 95% of compensation is going to athletes of P5 programs but Non-P5 programs are footing 60% of the bill
This narrative is so false.
Non-P5 programs have been subsidized by the P5 via the NCAA for decades now. P5 brands are what make the tournament so valuable, make football so valuable. The Non-P5s were basically getting a subsidy to sign off on rules the P5 wanted and to get around anti-trust concerns.
All the House Settlement is doing is cutting that subsidy.
Non-P5 being entitled to money that their own programs did not generate is crazy.
re: Who can build the trashiest sec athletic department?

I opened this thread expecting it to be "what SEC AD do you think could build the trashiest program?"
And the obvious answer is Auburn

Or what? His buyout is still two years away minimum from being something LSU can afford.

Dude we are not a QB away from the playoffs. They tried with Carr and finally decided to rip the band aid off.
Exactly, Carr quitting gave the franchise a second chance. Stock three top ten draft picks in a row and suddenly we have a young roster that is cheap again.
Seems like we have been in cap hell since Drew retired, it has to stop eventually.

re: Who had the biggest coaching change drop offs from one season to next in SEC since 2000?
Posted by cardboardboxer on 5/13/25 at 4:25 pm
Its Gus.
That was by far the largest buyout ever at the time, and only lost that title thanks to Jimbo.

re: Setting the record straight on Mizzou and the Big 10
Posted by cardboardboxer on 5/13/25 at 12:13 am
Same thing for Texas A&M and the Big 10. We don't want that shite even if we did get a little pissed off that Texas joined the SEC and got praise for it after talking shite about how it was a conference of inbreaders for over a decade.
re: Congrats to all the new college baseball fans we have from Missouri!
Posted by cardboardboxer on 5/10/25 at 9:33 pm
I remembered when we joined the SEC with Mizzou I learned a lot about them and I will say I was jealous of the baseball title.
And then Pinkel gets to the SEC championship game twice? Holy frick.

re: SEC Expansion History Quality: What athletic department was worth it?
Posted by cardboardboxer on 5/9/25 at 6:23 pm
What's crazy is that OU and Texas didn't increase SEC payouts like adding Mizzou and A&M did. And even as an Aggie fan I can admit OU and Texas should be more valuable.
I think the last expansion was more a defensive move to not let the B1G get way ahead.

I just hate the idea of 3 being OU for A&M. Then its like the Big 12 South all over again.
re: Athletic malpractice? Rumors of Arkansas Admins quitting on football spread
Posted by cardboardboxer on 5/9/25 at 4:55 pm
Would love to see Arky do a different revenue split than other SEC programs post-House. Seems like most are shooting for 75-80% going to football, would love to see them do 70% football and something like 20% basketball to just floor it for that sport.

Adding Misery was the worst decision the SEC ever made.
When OU and Texas fricked around with the Big 12 for an extra decade decisions had to be made to work through that transitional period.

Would prefer The Noble Men of Kyle. The fight song already has a place in the game script.
