Jimbo Fisher: Non-P2 schools are glorified junior colleges

Hey Monte, which part is wrong? Specifically? Matthew Golden plucked to the SEC. Jamaree Caldwell gone to the B10. Keep your head in the sand, but this is what’s happening.

madcowsu and atm have had for the last six, eight years the best or close to best incoming recruits. How many National Championships have they won.

SO WHAT!! We have half a dozen guys who will do as good or better than Golden…He is no big loss…Caldwell runs off to Oregon…He is ONE guy!!! Quit crying every time we lose a player…Our transfers coming in make us more talented than who all is leaving, and it isnt close! Fisher claiming everyone who isnt in BIG/SEC is some kind of juco program is typical comment from a bloated loser who has done nothing but lose for years…Big 12 champ makes the playoff and likely our no.2 also. They can win a natty ANY year…

I’m not a Jimbo Fisher fan, but your title is a little bit misleading.

Asking again. How many National Championship has madcowsu and atm won since , 2005 almost 20 years?
How many five stars recruits have these two schools got?
Well how many?

What are you talking about? What does the success of a specific school have to do with the broad point that the schools from the top are able to pull players from poorer schools? What does UT in the B12 have to do with any of this? Are you trying to emphasize that the B12 has never won the CFP?

Make it make sense.

You mentioned players being plucked away because they had a good season and going to the sec or other schools. Except less than a handful of programs what makes the difference is coaching. How do you explain a Boise State beating blue bloods and others? You understand the difference? What is going to have a huge impact will be major donors. We only have seen the tip of the nil/iceberg.

Deleting my response because I’d rather enjoy my Saturday than argue online. Have a good weekend, Chris.

what if they are contractors?

A question asked by every employer ever in the hopes of not having to pay 941 taxes.

I don’t think they could make that case. A contractor has to by definition have the right to ply their trade for anyone at anytime.

They are employees. The dirty little secret is that they have been for a long time.

College football and basketball are for profit businesses. The players are employees. Now that the schools are going to be paying them there is no doubt about it.

I think the schools will lease their facilities and have a royalty arrangement with some for profit entity that will own the teams. College athletics is dead.

I am just waiting for when players can get a better paying deal and switch teams at half-time.

I am only halfway joking.

when did UH ever turn a profit?

As an athletic department…never. Did football and men’s basketball as a stand alone ever make a profit…yeah I think so.

90% of programs are in the red I believe.

If you took away 99 non revenue scholarships (85 football and 14 basketball) I am pretty sure that a lot of athletic departments would be in the black.

Schools are going to their their football and MBB to some private equities, lease them the facilities, and let the PE pay players, work TV deals, and try to turn a profit.
Then ALL the Title IX sports go away since the schools won’t be giving scholarships for a 100 students in FB and MBB.
Sure, big time CFB will be dead. But student athletes will be real again.
