I find these articles interesting since they tell the other side of sports we usually don't see. The first is about internal competition inside schools for a part of the revenue sharing money: The brewing rev-share battle that will upend college basketball: 'Why am I going to lose another $2...

Did anyone notice that the final 16 teams in this year's NCAA tournament are all from Power 4 conferences? While Florida's roster construction has been hailed, it came at the expense of mid-major schools that had previous success ... March Madness: Is NIL the death of Cinderella? And this...

To me, there always seems to be too much hyper surrounding the combine with the media announcing players either "soaring" up draft boards or falling down draft boards. I think for most teams, the workout numbers will mostly confirm what they already know about players from watching them for 3-4...

I read an article the other day about returning production rankings for SEC football teams and some implications. What is interesting to me is that among SEC teams, Florida ranks fourth in returning production. UF ranks 18th in the country and for the 2025 SEC opponents, only Texas A&M ranks...

I could be wrong on this, but I get the impression that Napier fires people by not announcing it publicly, but letting them find other jobs elsewhere and leaving. Toney comes to mind - it didn't make sense to me that he would leave a DC position for a lesser position in the NFL. The exceptions...

That's not my understanding. The $20M is from revenue and to be distributed to all athletes - and this is voluntary - not every school need do this. Then on top of that is NIL, but "regulated". Many articles on this, but you can read this one to get a sense: With NIL era ending, college sports...

That's what I thought. So then maybe no one is leaving after this new hire. And maybe there may be one or two more new coaching hires?

Well that's the strange thing ... Napier made a comment about there not being a limit on how many coaches you can have. And last year, the NCAA started allowing what were off-field analysts/assistants to be able to coach on the field. So maybe now you can have as many coaches as you want? In...

I guess sports writers put out these types of lists in the off-seasons since there is not much anything else going on. Most likely to spawn debates, but not to be taken seriously. This list was obviously put together somewhat randomly. Two examples of people on this list ... #21 Bill Belichick -...

We reviewed college athlete contracts -- here's how performance adjustments, buyouts and bowl incentives work

What happens with Will Harris who was coaching the entire secondary? Didn't the safeties improve this year? Is Harris perhaps leaving?

How quickly people forget ... From champs to chomped: How Urban Meyer broke Florida football

All very good points. As the Ol' Ball Coach would say - "You have to coach 'em up" - or something like that. And your point about development is also important - you can have all the talent in the world on your roster and they could end up not playing up to their potential. There are many...

It's hard to say what will happen, since the "rules" keep changing to the point that it seems now there are no rules. The House settlement still needs to be approved, but it also doesn't guarantee that there will be no more court cases. At the moment, talent acquisition seems to be tied to how...

That's not the point. Originally SFFloridaFan wrote ... I pointed to a source that implies that this is unlikely to happen since Big10 schools have more financial resources than any SEC school.

Interesting line in an article I read recently ... I recommend reading it. Apparently, there are more resources in the Big 10 schools than the SEC schools - from more TV revenue, more big money donors, and bigger stadiums. If the current no-rules spending on players continues, expect more CFP...

I agree - something's got to give. It seems the schools are still trying to operate as if they are still dealing with "student-athletes" of 100 years ago - give them a scholarship and they owe the school everything. I don't know where this is heading ... your suggestion probably makes the most...

Was it the wins or the public support he received from Stricklin confirming Napier would be the coach in 2025? I am not necessarily disagreeing here, since wins on the field lead to support from administration, which leads to a stable program. But is the last statement really true for all...

I agree with your points, but I don't think anyone here in this thread has commented about a need to replace a coach. First, there will most likely be one coach hired, since Armstrong left and there is a vacancy in allotted assistants. Second, my previous comment was to regard of the timing of...

A lot of assumptions here .... first that CBN will hire an OC, and that he would hire a current OC from the college ranks. It is safe to assume there will be staff changes, since Armstrong left leaving room to hire one more assistant. It is not clear if anyone else is leaving. It has been...
