ESPN laid off a bunch of on-air talent today. This is a good thing because no more Danny Kannell!

And yet, somehow, the Longhorn Network is still a thing.

It's got to be cheaper for ESPN to just honor their contract to UT. I don't see any other reason they're keeping it alive.

Eh, I figure a human name sounds more respectable than the name of a company.

Here's how I'd rank it:
1. Any name that's stood for 80+ years
2. Unique geographical feature
3. Mascot/School/City/State Name
4. Name of a former coach
5. Name of a donor
6. Corporate name

7. Corporate Acronym, because Texas Dow Employees Credit Union Stadium is the worst stadium name in sports.

So the AAC is going with some big brand-shaping campaign to improve perception, it's being called American Power. Nice and satisfyingly MAGA-ish name, got an advertising plan, just gotta get a good hashtag for social media...

That's funny Tom...seems like:

1. None of these guys actually went to UT
2. You called the guy at the front and center "chicken salad" and oh yeah "lesser parts"
3. You didn't actually recruit any of the gentlemen depicted on this poster, and...
4. ...if it got out you actually offered a 2* guy UT boosters would run you straight back down 290

By golly, boys will be boys I guess! Nope, don't see anything here having to do with the football program, and does not merit any special concern from the NCAA or Big 12. This is regular news, not football news. Why are you posting regular news in a football thread?

LOL. Houston wasn't invited. The Big 12 did the song and dance last offseason that they were expanding, when in reality it didn't appear that was ever an option. Houston was played by UT so UT could open a campus in Houston.

It was never an option. It was a UT land scam and the other nine schools played along because it cost nothing to do so. It worked perfectly and UH made a very, very bad deal. UH is super lucky their lobby in Austin managed to get the UT board to kill their end of the bargain.

This is a smart move. Esp after their time together at ECU. That should alleviate some of his never been a head coach and is 33 concerns with a sage guy like McNeill to help him out.

Reminder that ECU had Oklahoma's coaching staff two years ago and pissed it away because ECU thought Duke's offensive coordinator was the next Tom Herman.

The problem with these kind of articles is it only looks at raw money coming in and out, and never looks at why that defecit spending is okay.

UH athletics is like Tech where it has always had student fees. It's not intended to make money. It's marketing. The student fees were part of the deal that created the athletic department to begin with and they've been voted in favor of by the students every year since 1946. It's how an urban school with no oil royalty fund (UT, A&M) and no old money (SMU, TCU, Baylor, Rice) built up and got in the Southwest Conference. Without it, UH never has any athletics, never mind a football team...and without that identity probably would be in the University of Texas system today.

The real problem with athletic revenue isn't the student subsidy or even the lack of TV money...it's how the giving alumni base is 90% Baby Boomers from the 60s and 70s classes because UH pissed away the 80s and 90s and completely lost Generation X. Millenial alums like me will have to bridge the gap when the Boomers finish dying off and that's going to make some skinny days until we get that kind of disposable income.

Went to visit friends up in Madison last week and got to check out Camp Randall Stadium. Nice place, looks a lot more compact than something that is twice the size of TDECU Stadium which I guess is a good thing during some late seasons games there.

Also a bit premature since he may have benefited last year from spillover success from the Justin Fuente era at Memphis. They only went 8-5, so it wasn't like a resoundingly successful year, but I guess they were replacing a lot.

But still better than Chad Morris, yes.

Yeah it's premature but at one year of 8-5 he's also the only guy in the conference (again other than Niumatolololol at Navy) with much accomplishment to his name.

I kinda forgot about Charlie Strong too.
