Running 2023-24 NCAA Football Thread

A friend of mine is the new football coach at Minot State. Here's the latest from his social media, "Come to MSU and get 1 million followers!"

 

San Francisco Chronicle has been running a great series all week on the new world of NIL. Usual disclaimer: I do not work foe the Chronicle, just a subscriber.

 

AAC Commissioner Is Right-It’s Time To Drop The “Power 5” Label

 

In related news, Joe Flacco says he is an "elite" quarterback.

 

This has been Mike Aresco's war cry for years.

 

"Aresco spoke in more detail at the AAC men’s basketball tournament on Saturday. “The gap between the number 2 conference, whether it’s the Big Ten or the SEC, and the number 3 is far wider now than between the number 3 conference and the American.” Taking a look at the some of the conference wide revenues, he’s not that far off.

Shouldn't those NIL deals be going to Alabama basketball players?

 

Or the entire Georgia football program.

 

Buddy Teevens wasn't wearing a helmet.

Longtime Dartmouth College football coach Eugene “Buddy” Teevens and his wife were bicycling home from a restaurant dinner Thursday night when he was struck by a pickup truck and injured, his wife, Kirsten Teevens, said on Monday.

“He has sustained serious injuries and is currently hospitalized,” Kirsten Teevens wrote in a text from the St. Augustine, Fla. area, where the family owns a second home. “He is a healthy man and hopefully he will have a full recovery. We are very appreciative of all the support and the outpouring of love.”

Buddy Teevens, 66, was trying to cross state road A1A, the main beach thoroughfare the runs along Florida’s Atlantic coast. He was struck by a 40-year old female driver at 8:40 p.m, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper’s preliminary crash report noted.​

Dartmouth’s Teevens struck by pickup while bicycling, suffers ‘serious injuries’

 

Another big gap: student subsidies for athletics in the ACC vs. rest of the Power 5.
Gonna be interesting to see what this looks like going forward.
