This the crazy part. Usually you pay a premium for success. Not college sports. Not only do they pay high salaries but they also have these exorbitant buyout clauses to guys who have never had exorbitant success.
Its a really silly insurance policy. In order to have a buyout clause costing any other school trying to steal your successful coach, you also have to give a big payout if you get rid of him. I think I'd take my chances with neither if I was in charge. If he's "the guy" and success comes, you can afford to pay him what the others offer. If he still goes, he wasn't "the guy"...
Looking forward to the mental matchup between coach Tom Herman and coach The Hat? Texas v KU? Well you have to wait till Dec 12, KU can't field a team this weekend that meets B12 min of 53 players.
Ohio State no longer allowing family members at games. Family members of Ohio State coaches and student-athletes are no longer permitted to attend sporting events for teams playing this fall due to a stay-at-home order in Columbus, Ohio. The decision is immediate and means Ohio State will not have any family members in the stands for its game against Indiana on Saturday. The decision not allowing family members at football games will be reevaluated prior to Ohio State's game against Michigan on Dec. 12.
I agree Bill, the Irish have 3 games left. UNC/Syracuse and Wake Forrest. Wake has had to cancel this weekend already. I have to wonder if we will get to finish all 3 games. Even more I wonder if the Conference Championship games will all come off on Dec 19th. The Irish are practicing a couple of days this week as it's final exam week at ND, and then they get the weekend off. End of semester parties are common in college and since the kids are all going home for 2 months I worry that there will be a lot of them and they won't all be safe/masked parties. I'd hate to see us lose the end of the season with covid from players celebrating the end of the semester.
Some of the games are being cancelled due to protocol, not cases. The Aggies have one player out with Covid, but because 30+ players had close contact on the plane after the SC game... they remain in quarantine 10 days later even tho none have it.
Pac 12 is allowing non-conference game now for 2020, they have to meet Pac 12 standards and have to be at the Pac 12 school, no road games. I don't know how this could possibly work, I mean at this point who out there doesn't already have a schedule? Where are these non-conference games going to come from?
Lou Holtz has Covid. Says he doesn't have much energy. I hope Coach recovers and doesn't have the bad Covid.
Ohio State QB room gets deeper, they just got the verbal of former Texas commit Quinn Ewers. He's the #1 overall recruit in the 2022 class. Kyle McCord, CJ Stroud and Jack Miller are all highly rated QB's
They are probably feeling so much pity on us that they will probably switch to using Goldendoodles as security dogs rather than the wolf hybrids they employed to sniff M equipment and players during the Carr era.
