    I’m sure he is but any time a story is based on”Rick neuhesel said…” I question its validity

    Figured that was done already.

    It won't be the only team with unlimited funds. Probably a few 8n the SEC but can't imagine anyone with more than Texas.

    It will be interesting and I guess it doesn't bug our powers that be that we are contributing to Nike/Oregon's NIL war chest. Knight has tried for years to get Oregon over the hump and they actually made it to NC game once, but got eaten alive by Nick Fairley.

    I had forgotten all about that one. I was thinking that they played Aubie after they whopped 1/2@ssU

    Wow! Collage Football recruiting has come a long ways from the days of car dealers and lumber (yellow wood) owners.

    So, Phil is ready to destroy college football to get his way? Nice legacy.

    The next time we make a deal with jumpman we need to increase their level of commitment to the University of Florida. IOW, get more payout from Nike than we're currently getting.

    Wasn't he going to be the next Steve Spurrier? It seems like something funny must have happened on the way to CFB Valhalla.

    Jumpman needs to jump up with some real dough. No doubt about it.

    Knight is worth 32 billion? Do you think anyone is nuts enough to go there.

    Or dump them altogether if Knight wants to tilt college football to his team.

    If we give Jumpman the old heave ho, does that mean we could get our classic blue back instead of the insipid, washed-out shade of blue?
