Unread post by biggie » Tue Sep 16, 2025 1:33 pm

Thursday if you want to watch CFB you get Rice -2.5 at UNCC

Friday only 2 games

Saturday:
Clemson -17.5 trying to avoid falling further against Syracuse at noon

Wofford at 0-3 and VT at 0-3...

JMU -9.5 at Liberty probably easy for JMU

ULL -1.5 at EMU

Troy at Buffalo -5.5

Akr St -6.5 at Kennesaw St

Marsha -2.5 at MTSU

Boise -10.5 at Air Force 7pm, lets see how bad it could be for us

Maine at Stink

Coastal at SoAL -15.5

UF at Miami -7.5 that seems like a low number and how long can Billy last?

Georgia St at Vandy -26.5

SoMiss at LaTech -3.5 we can try to measure ourselves

Nicholls at TxSt

ULM at at UTEP -4.5

As someone who grew up a Clemson fan I will gladly be camping this weekend! Hopefully early on in the day Saturday.

All things considered I would rank paying a massive buyout to a college football coach to basically just go away ($22m) among the top 5 most insane wastes of money. There are obviously plenty of examples in society as a whole but in the sports world this absolutely blows my mind. If I recall didn’t the once former LSU coach Orgeron pretty much publicly say something about taking the money and running? We all know about the insanity at Texas A&M. To think that any person is worth that much money absolutely is beyond comprehension.

Not having offset, mitigation and fully guaranteeing contracts is incredibly dumb for schools here especially at the p2 level, but they happily do it. I guess as long as boosters with more money then sense or $100mm/year tv contracts exist it will continue to happen.

If you think these are bad, you should see the payouts CEOs at Fortune 500 companies get for failing, sometimes spectacularly. Coaches buyouts are paltry compared to that

Yeah, Coach O said when they told him what his buyout was he replied, "show me the door outta here!" or something to that effect.

Negative on my end. Hoping Liberty takes it to them.

Tim Beck has the hottest seat in the Sun Belt. Got goose-egged 38-0 at home by ECU after beating FCS Charleston Southern 10-0 the week before after benching the starting QB and scoring a touchdown late.

He might not make it to Boone.

Southern Living made a list of 7 storied football programs in the south not in SEC or ACC. Coastal was on the list but ECU was not. Not sure I can take that article very seriously.

I have a number of family members who are NCSU alums...none of them were unhappy when Beck left for Conway.
The words "hopelessly vanilla offense" were mentioned.

I'd throw the game for $22M, that would have to be the all time payout for point shaving

Yeah, I wonder if they bring it up because they know it's a thorn for us App State fans...

I know the buyouts are market driven, but do you ever think these Boards of Trustees and university presidents will ever see the light and stop with these crazy buyouts? About like asking “will those programs with plenty of money ever quit offering millions of dollars to unproven players?” I was happy to see UT refuse to get in a bidding war for their own QB last spring. It’s almost like extortion. It’s worked out well for them.
