That’s why fans who say they are done with the sport, blah, blah, blah are just reacting emotionally. I’ll root for the Manley kid no different than I’d root for Height. And I surely won’t abandon a sport or my team because we replace a few replaceable players.
SMU bought their way into the ACC and the playoffs. Seems to be working as designed to me.
Maybe they should pay the CFB GMs and Directors of Player Personnel more than coaches too since those are the guys buying and scouting the personnel. Y’all have fun with your head in the sandA&M was a win away from getting into the playoffs if they had beat TU and the committee kept up with “not punishing teams for playing in the conference championship”.
I like the guys we are pulling in the portal. Helps make up for some losses and fills some gaps.
SMU arguably had a softer joke schedule than Indiana. That’s what they got in.
We finally have a competent president, AD and coach concurrently. This is the best staff top to bottom we have had since at least the early 1960's.

Former Mercer EDGE Brayden Manley Transfers to Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech adds to the defensive line tonight after landing former standout Mercer EDGE rusher Brayden Manley. Manley had a very productive 2024 season finiswww.si.com
i saw this on CBS earlier today and almost posted here. .. i think the phrase "wild west" is an understatement at this poiint.
Seems like the former are always hit or miss, I’ll take the kid who balled out over the kid that didn’t live up to his potential and couldn’t get on the field.
I get what you’re saying. I’m bringing up baseball as more of a financial comparison with the current CFB climate. Soft/non-existent caps, free agency to the highest bidder with no holds barred, no real “hometown” allegiance.
There were reports yesterday that he had deportaled, but they were apparently false, since his name does not appear on the depth chart for the bowl game.
I hope they didn’t pay for the Tulane Qb that played in their bowl.
Very interesting article with a lot of insight on how much is being paid out by teams and to players. My summary 1) Duke really spent $4MM on a QB? Duke? 2) What is going on with Texas Tech and their spending spree? 3) Singleton probably got $1MM based on numbers from this article. A hypothetical budget per my analysis from the article. Assuming about 35-40 players play significant snaps - pay 3 of them $1MM per another 15 $300K per and last 20 about $100K per and that is a total budget of $9.5MM. just guessingNew Duke QB next yr is supposedly get $8M for 2 seasons. More then some FBS Head Coaches make.
