I suppose; knowing Les, he is using this to get more $$$ out of the Bayou folks. Supposedly the Hogs are offering $5.5 million a year.

It's ridiculous where salaries are at for coaches and professional players now.

Doesn't the sec always pay the most for coaches ?
I don't remember how much, but wasn't Michigan offering him money to move on and come up to AA ?

I don't remember how much Ohio State is paying Urban Meyer either, but I would think it's got to be in the sec range.

 

[Teehar]

Old Les and his agent are denying the report.

I agree with you OSU,it's crazy how much money some of the coaches and players in the NFL make.It bothers me more to see it in college though.Money is on the verge of ruining college football as we know it.It's been tossed around before but,with all the money thats being generated now there just might come a day that college players are compensated in some way other than scholarships.

 

[osu1991]

I see them doing something for players in the next 10 years. Especially with the money the bowls and new playoff format is going to generate. The coaches will be hitting $10 million a year soon too.

Saban is getting 5.4 million a year. I'm sure Miles wants a bump up into that neighborhood. I think Stoops and Mack Brown are in the 4.5 to 5 million areas.

BCS picking order this year is Fiesta, Sugar, Orange.
Since Florida is an auto-pick (due to being #4 or higher), the Sugar will definitely take them as their replacement pick. With the MAC champion getting in, that leaves only 1 more at-large left (likely Oregon).

Likely BCS Bowls:

MNC - Notre Dame vs. SEC Champ
Rose - Pac 12 Champ vs. Big Ten Champ
Fiesta - Big 12 Champ vs. Oregon (I don't see the Fiesta passing up Oregon)
Sugar - Florida vs. (Rutgers or MAC Champ)
Orange - ACC Champ vs. whoever Sugar doesn't want

If GT somehow beats FSU, imagine that awfulness that awaits the Orange Bowl, ugh.
Also, who does the Sugar want? Kent St. or Rutgers? Not a great choice. My money is Kent St., due to Saban's ties there.

 

[Ramy]

Mark Stoops, Defensive Coordinator at Florida State, will be the next coach at Kentucky. An OK choice but not one that will fire up the fans.

Better than what we had for sure.

Looks like Louisville will be the new ACC team from the Big East, not UConn....

Which means the big east will now add (insert team name here) from Conference USA.

I find all this moving around hilariously hypocritical. Universities kill me about how they do things "for the kids"....too funny.

 

[salsadancer7]

Looks like the ACC has voted Louisville into the conference.

Nice I voted in a poll somewhere that had Louisville and Uconn as choices.Louisville was the leader by a wide margin.The ACC gains another bb powerhouse plus a very good football program.When it comes to bb they are stacked.

You can use that argument in Football and Basketball, but these schools need to maximize their revenue in those sports to subsidize the other non-renevue generating sports they have.

I don't like Florida playing either of those teams, it's really a no win situation. Just like when Georgia played Hawaii.

Kent State is not a shoo in ... they have to win the MAC championship game yet against N. Illinois, that could go either way ...
So who would potentially go if Kent doesn't ?

If either Boise St. or N. Illinois gets to #16, then it's the higher ranked of the 2.

If neither makes it to #16, then the Sugar Bowl gets a free pick of any non-SEC team that is ranked at least #14, leaving Rutgers to the Orange Bowl.

So can we officially change the name of the Big East to Conference USA 2, and change Conference USA to Sun Belt+?

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ap-source-middle-tennessee-joining-181357118--ncaaf.html

Middle Tennessee has accepted an offer to join Conference USA and is leaving the Sun Belt, a person familiar with the situation said Wednesday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither conference nor Middle Tennessee had publically announced the decision. The Virginian-Pilot first reported the move.

See what I meant?

Duke and UNC to the SEC? This guy says maybe...


http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-fo...land-acc-50-million-buyout-sec-big-ten-pac-12

1. I don't want to get on a soapbox, but ...


The Big East on Tuesday shot its popgun in the air and thumped its chest at the latest round of conference realignment.


But understand this: The big, bad howitzer is coming, everyone. Stand back and cover your ears.


When Maryland finds a way to get out of paying the full $50 million buyout to the ACC for joining the Big Ten; when the Terps show the rest of the ACC how to leave a conference on the cheap despite signing what are supposed to be binding legal documents, conference realignment will reach the final, end-game stage.


The dismantling of the ACC and strengthening of the Big Four is coming. The only things that can stop it are high-priced lawyers.


“We’d be absolutely foolish to not watch Maryland,” one FSU official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Sporting News. “If or when they get out of (the $50 million buyout), everything changes. It’s almost like free agency.”


If that’s true, Maryland is the Curt Flood of college football. And it could lead to the one remaining mega move still out there: Florida State and Clemson to the Big 12.


If that happens, the two crown jewels of the ACC become available. Duke and North Carolina, which an ACC source said have been chased by the SEC for “the last three years,” will choose between the Big Ten and the SEC.

This sums up really well the Big 12's position. Unless some teams can bring a large amount of additional tv revenue, it is a losing situation for the Big 12. Once the playoff starts and the Big 12/sec start splitting the sugar bowl revenue, each school is looking at 30-40 million plus their tier 3 tv money.

The only conference with 90% of our teams bowl eligible, a conference schedule that is usually ranked as toughest or 2nd toughest. There are just too many benefits that outweigh expanding just for the sake of expanding.

WHen it come to bowls, does each school and conference make the same amount? Or does the winner get a bigger cut?

No both teams get the same amount. I know with SEC schools the team in the bowl keeps 800k to 1.9m dollars than the rest is divided by 14.
