    This calendar school year…

    Football: One G5 school gets invited to the party with a NY6 bowl invite (not an actual chance at a title, but at least on the stage). Liberty got smashed 45-6

    Basketball: Neither the men’s Elite 8, nor the women’s elite 8 had a single G5 school

    Baseball: Omaha is the Elite 8. Only the SEC and the ACC were represented.

    Softball: No G5s in OKC. In fact, there were no G5 schools that even made a Super Regional.

    And with the new ability for the P4 to fund full rides for all players PLUS pay the players while they’re there…does anyone think this is gonna get better for the G5?

    I HATE what college sports has become, but anybody who’s paying attention can see that any hopes at all for postseason glory for a G5 school, which was already pretty slim, is bordering on extinction.
    Many of those extra spending p4 teams will be losers, likely 50pct, so then what? There has to be another purpose behind this spending amd what it is for, especially since no profits are ever saved, 100pct in,105pct out it seems

    UL turned 2 star players such as ike taylor and jake delhomme into hall of fame caliber and super bowl caliber players, that information has been out there for decades, yet it doesnt move the needle. Look how many 5 stars that S-E-C schools have squandered and not made it to the pros

    He was the coach filling out the lineup card. No actual coaching was going on. He said that himself.

    With the settlement between the NCAA and "P5" that essentially allows schools to directly pay athletes, I'm guessing the way forward for schools like us is going to be for every ticket sold to have an athletes' fund fee applied. There will be a lot of people (me included) that don't have the funds or stomach to pay directly into a collective. But I won't really blink twice at a hopefully meager fee applied to each ticket.

    Would encourage programs to push for ticket sales and attendance. Win/win.

    Still advertising, no two ways about it, kept his name in the softball conversation year round. No such thing as a cold call with HS players who were keeping up with their sport.

    Your point adds to why he is 100% about reruiting.

    The better the player, the less his coaching decisions matter.

    NIL is bigger than salary with Glasco

    You have no idea how many good players chose Louisiana because of knowing the schools name due to Delhomme an Tillman.

    Too many people still worry about a coach leaving. If you have successful programs that’s what happens. The AD has to earn his money and continue to go after the best coaching talent.

    I want us replacing every coach every 4 years. That’s means they either won big and moved on or failed and we made a change. A coach should never be hired for the idea of them staying forever.

    I want us replacing every coach every 4 years. That’s means they either won big and moved on or failed and we made a change. A coach should never be hired for the idea of them staying forever.
    POW!

    Great point

    I'm just wondering what high school coach our AD is thinking of hiring next.

    Read it again. Not complaining about them, but clearly it wasnt more than the 5 stars that kept choosing p5 just to have their value lowered
