Re: 2024 Offensive Line Starters

OL forecasting gets confusing with the portal activity etc. Probably a good reason to pay Bedenbaugh more moola We need starters at least 2 deep , based on past I agree on Bedenbaugh. I also believe BB has learned his lesson on trying to recruit star o-linemen who live over 500 miles from Norman an...

Re: OU's NIL Situation.....

at some point it will probably wind up being an in-house operation for athletic departments with players as employees funded by TV money, it shouldn't be on the fans to raise money to buy players It’s likely that there will eventually be a share of the TV money distributed to the players equally. B...

Re: 2024 Offensive Line Starters

A lot of good info on the OL in this OU Insider discussion starting around the 14 min mark to around the 28 min mark. Also, very eye-opening discussion about NIL at Oklahoma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSqqPv8E1gY Thanks for posting. I too was struck when Drumm said (my paraphrasing) some of t...

Re: How Does The NCAA Stop This and When?

Ironically, if college football is to retain any of the characteristics that separates itself from the NFL, it will have to institute NFL-like mechanisms. Restrictions on free agency and something that resembles a salary cap are two items I can see coming in the near future. 100% agree. What would ...
