Feels like everyone lost their mind this off-season about KY and their roster seems...fine?
Torvik has them 34 in his preseason model. Pretty far below Kentucky fan expectations.
With Moreno factored in?
Plenty of investing buzzwords there to make it sound good. Wonder how these sorts of contracts interact with the conference. Is this just another non-conference scheduling move? The idea that anything of this nature can last into the 2030s seems dicey, given how fast the sport is changing, but who knows. With top brands and a good media partner, no reason it couldn't.
If RJ Luis plays really well for LSU, could an NBA team pluck him from the roster in the middle of the season since he would not be subject to being draft eligible for a second time?
makes it illegal for coaches to leave their teams before the season concludes and schools cannot hire coaches before a season concludes — something those on Capitol Hill refer to the “Lane Kiffin Rule,”Key senators strike bipartisan deal on sweeping college sports reform with transfer, eligibility and cap enforcement
The bill — named the Protect College Sports Act — would preclude the creation of a so-called “super league”; create an agent registry limiting fees to 5%; permit the pooling of media rights; and bar coaches from leaving their team before the season ends.
If they get Milan, they should be a top 15 team preseason.
Unless Torvik is missing half of their players, I’m not sure they’d currently be a top 10 team. Torvik has them at 35. Nebraska’s #14 btw.
No international pros?
Seems like a pipe dream.
I definitely agree with the coaches leaving fix, but the other two I have problems with. Being that it’s college sports, a student’s academic endeavors (yeah I know like 95% of the athletes aren’t there for academics) shouldn’t be limited in totality. And say you enter your second school and you realize it’s an absolute nightmare fit; are we “too bad so sad?” I like other ideas thrown out there like one free transfer but after that you lose a year of eligibility or have to redshirt or something. So you can still transfer again, but do have some limitations.
There isn't really a partisan/ideological divide on this though, at least not yet, one can always develop.
Negativity toward coach movement and coaches having opportunities their players don't has always gotten a lot of energy in these discussions.
I don't think preseason rankings by the analytics sites are all too significant.
Lots of questions on that team after the top 3 guys. They need a #4thman.
I was simply replying directly to your quote that said, “If they get Milan, they should be a top 15 team preseason”.
