Keenan Henderson Posted August 30 Posted August 30 This first week of college football games is maybe as good as it has been in a long time. Who is ready for some college football?

ORU82 Posted August 30 Posted August 30 How about those Buckeyes! They owned the so called No. 1 team in the country today on a highly featured nationally televised game. BTW, real football is played in Ohio, and is it too early to speculate on a repeat of being the National Champions, AGAIN? 1 1
Keenan Henderson Posted August 31 Author Posted August 31 The Florida State quarterback was correct, Alabama no longer has Nick Saban and they cannot stop us. The Tide may be looking for a new coach unless they turn things around. As a Razorback fan it is always a good day when Texas loses.
Keenan Henderson Posted September 14 Author Posted September 14 I have always been a fan of Notre Dame, but can they get into the playoffs this year? Irish are 0-2 but should be favored the rest of the way and could still finish 10-2. Heartbreaking loss tonight. 1
Keenan Henderson Posted September 20 Author Posted September 20 It is safe to say that Arkansas and Ok State will need new football coaches very soon. Arkansas blows another big lead as they usually do (remember OK State game last year). Maybe one of these teams could land a big fish such as a Dabo Swiney, who seems very unhappy at Clemson. 1

Lewis....and Dabo is a buffoon... Gundy has been fired. The Mike Gundy era has ended at Oklahoma State. The 58-year-old coach has been fired as OSU’s football coach. The news began to leak Tuesday morning with OSU releasing a statement early afternoon. “Cowboy Football reached an unprecedented level of success and national prominence under Coach Gundy’s leadership,” OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg said in a press release. “I believe I speak for OSU fans everywhere when I say that we are grateful for all he did to raise the standard and show us all what is possible for Oklahoma State football.”
titansforever Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I don't think NIL is helping anyone. Not ORU, and not big schools like OSU. But as someone on this board has said, you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Bogus Smith Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I don't know of a good coach that would be willing to take the head football coach's job when the AD is not under contract. OSU needs to resolve that matter first. A good head coach wants to be hired by an athletic director that has a commitment from the institution. 1
Keenan Henderson Posted September 23 Author Posted September 23 It is wild how fast the Cowboys fell. This time last year they were 3-0 and ranked in the top 15 and since then are 1-11. The bottom just fell out and they never figured out the quarterback position during that time. I still think Ok State is a good job in college football. You can win in the Big 12 without facing the gauntlet of say the SEC or Big Ten. It will take some time, but the Cowboys will get back to their winning ways.
ORU82 Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Ohio State is spending approximately $20,000,000 in NIL funding and an additional $18,000,000 in revenue sharing for just its football team. This year's total athletic budget is approximately $300,000,000. Let that sink in for a moment. The nearest competitor is the University of Texas. Then you have Alabama, Georgia and LSU. After that there is a dramatic fall off to every other institution in D-I athletics. This model can not be sustained and should be found to be illegal for a variety of reasons. And please quit referring to these football players as "amateur student athletes". 1
titansforever Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Meanwhile, how much do their female athletes receive?
ORU82 Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Spot on titansforever, and ask the same question for all of the "olympic sports" athletes.

Tickets and television pays for a lot of bills. If you want to make more money, be more valuable. That's not to say that women athletes and "olympic-sport" athletes aren't talented, but people don't want to see them as much as the "gladiator-sport" athletes like football, basketball and baseball. It happens in all professions - art teachers vs. artists, music teachers v. musicians, etc. Teachers are very valuable, but those that can turn their talents into performances will make more.
