Re: Bring back baseball?

I think from a competitive standpoint considering how long it would take to compete with such powerhouses as Miami and such plus the financial aspects that would take away from ensuring the football team is good every season, I don't foresee this happening anytime soon, if at all.

Shame, as I love ...

Re: QB battle?

IΓÇÖm hearing it is much closer than everyone thinks... also completely agree with you on all your ratings with one exception - On scrambling i think Kevin is more productive. Preston does quite a bit of his scrambling behind the line of scrimmage without advancing. Of course that might lead to late ...

Re: Jennings

There are things to be concerned about regarding Preston and his continuing development - but being a great teammate and a great lockeroom culture guy is not anything to be worried about.

Re: Thoughts on the Rice game

The best team since the death penalty? On paper?

Yes. look at the other teams that had at least 5 wins in conference and then try and find any of them that were anywhere close to +158 at any point of the conference season.

Love you Jason but i thought you were wildly optimistic on your ...

Re: ACC watching SMU

We have a very good club team - number 1 or 2 in texas the last few years.

I wouldn't rule out lacrosse as the first team to add. It has support already and we built the field for a D-1 view down the road.

Re: No more badmouthing for Turner and Hart

Sorry, but this is thanks to our champion donors. Turner was slow to change. Hart bungled the re-seat in basketball. Our amazing alum mega-donors did 99% of the work and their money and persistence have helped mask most of Hart's mistakes. If anything this is the perfect time for Turner to ride off ...

Re: Revenue for next 7-9 years

Two important that are missing from your list -

We get the built in increases in the TV package - just not the day one.

Tournament revenue. No big deal in the AAC - but the ACC send a ton of teams. Will be worth a few million day one.
