That’s a waste of money
They still have to pay for Olympic sports
They have plenty of money. HUGE endowment. What they lack is a will to compete (as an institution I mean - those in Rice’s athletic department are not lacking in desire).
That guy basically hit the lottery parlaying a 6-5 season into an FBS job even if it is Rice.
Yes.
Any players there who can play G5 next season ?
Rice looks bad in 25 before portal Cherry Pickins.
A 245 lb OL w 32 starts ?
DE are G5 safety size, etc.
UTEP went lower scholarship tier of FCS. Mostly terrible in G5.
Most from Austin Peay w new HC.
OT
Great ASU RB is from 2nd FCS tier Sac State.
“leading the nation in rushing six of the last seven seasons”
I like that plan. His good RBs at Davidson still have eligibility.
Travel is crazy in Pioneer without TV $.
Didn’t they fight for a spot in the AAC? I don’t see why they’d drop football anytime soon. They certainly have $, but seem to be content languishing in the bottom of the G5 landscape.

Yes.
UTEP & FAU the worst talent in G5 Ive seen.
I’ve watched 50 + P5 games.
Cept bottom of MAC.
Kent goes winless.
HC is 1-23 so far.
Next AAC call up put them in OK spot.
It’s great cash w location and academics their real value.
AAC should be Army/ Navy dominated.
Seems in the new American comm realistic business plan.
They can hang.
Htown. South LA/ Centex loaded w G5 looking for Rice degree.
Not realistic if facilities still worse than 6A.
There was a campaign. Any thing started ?
He’s gotten quite an education that will serve him well as a HC, He’s ready now.
Barry Odom’s name has been mentioned as a candidate for the NC job, which may have implications for UH. Odom is head coach at UNLV and the OC at UNLV is Brennan Marion. Marion has been mentioned as a candidate to replace Barbay. If Odom is hired by NC, would he take Marion with him, or would Marion want to find another opportunity.
Something to keep an eye on.

In the loses vs Colorado, Baylor, Washington St, they couldn’t get any stops.
Also - Purdue fired their HC today too

KC Keeler has a tall order at Temple but he seems to be a Matt Rhule type of coach who can win anywhere.
