    Do they though? Their billionaire is now a hundred millionaire. Could be circling the drain.

    You don’t have to storm anywhere. Change comes when you stop showing up to games

    NIL is a game-changer. It’s an opportunity to cash in, and it will trump facilities, perceived playing time, the coach, mascot, etc. The only thing that can possibly come close to matching its draw & appeal is if the University starts throwing multiple women at these dumb 18 y/o’s

    But regarding NIL, for the recruits, the payday just got shifted to 3-4 years earlier, and they don’t even have to prove anything yet.

    Rashada is just one recent example, but sooner or later, you’ll see many kids coming out of HS with the exact same approach and attitude

    All bad comparisons aside, Foley ABSOLUTELY neglected football for the last 15 years of his tenure. The debate now is whether Stricklin has the mop, broom, and balls to clean up the mess that his predecessor left behind.

    I thought we were headed in the right direction until we brought Foley back to honor him at a halftime event this year! Now I’m not so sure.
