Michigan is paralyzed until they have new leadership installed. Blame the regents for a search that has taken waaay too long. First rule of personnel, don’t dump the guy you got till you got a guy/gal you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I always thought the Lions should have given Moeller a full season as coach that next year after he took over. RIP Gary Moeller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 His salary was $130,000 when he was fired as UM head coach in 1995. Crazy how things have changed in 27 years. The Excalibur restaurant in Southfield is now a Starbucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 He is a little old at 59. He can still put in 10 yrs, but I’d believe they started out looking for a somewhat younger candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Speaking to athletics, it seems like he's invested (despite the recent history at UBC). A school like Cincinnati doesn't become a powerhouse without a hefty amount of administrative backing. He was there until 2016, leaving a few months before they hired Fickell and really turned that ship around. We'll see if he puts his money where his mouth is, but I think it's an encouraging sign for the Athletic Department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 My Michigan twitter has been snarkily commenting that Mel Tucker has a picture of himself put out almost daily by the official Spartan account.

Notre Dame will not be able to independently match what can ultimately be distributed in a mega-conference with 20-24 schools. Even if they can come close, they will eventually find doors being shut on them when it's no longer in USC, Ohio State, and Clemson's interests to schedule non-conference games against them.

Hongbit Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Agree. They are currently getting $22M per year. Not sure how they can expect $75M to televise 6 or 7 home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Notre Dame has Marshall, Cal, Stanford, UNLV, Clemson, and Boston College as their home NBC games in 2022. NBC is also carrying the BYU game, which is being hosted at a neutral site in Vegas. Only one - maybe two - of those games even deserves national broadcasting. Marshall may well get kicked to Peacock as it is. But yes, tell me more about how that somehow warrants a tripling in payout to over 10MM a game just to Notre Dame LOL Let's "shoulder" UNLV/Notre Dame with a good barnburner like Kansas/Baylor or TCU/Kansas State though... that'll make up the difference.

No, Notre Dame will refuse just to avoid admitting they were wrong. Let 'em rot. Besides, I think there is a decent chance that we end up with a 24-team Big Ten with Stanford and Cal as part of the Western Division. I'll quote Bo on this one "To Hell with Notre Dame" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Rick Riley wrote a column about the USC-UCLA move to the B10 that quoted USA today as claiming the UCLA Athletic Dept was $100M/yr in the red and will immediately improve that by $60M per year by moving to the B10.

Even some talk, they may try to fight UCLA from making the move but end of the day they have no other method to make up this huge budget deficit. If anything the pols will try to use UCLA as leverage to take Cal along so Berkeley pay off the bill for the huge renovations to a stadium that nobody still goes to.

Seriously, they've had chance after chance after chance to be part of this. They make perfect sense geographically. They make perfect sense academically, They make perfect sense rivalry-wise. But no, they're soooooooooooo special. Well fine, go be special somewhere else. Oh, and I know he's gone (and he'll bomb at LSU), but Brian Kelly killed a kid. Have fun playing whomever you're playing. UCLA, USC, Stanford, Cal, Washington, Utah, Oregon and probably a team or two from Texas are coming Big Ten East Maryland-Rutgers-Penn State-Pitt-Ohio State-Michigan-Michigan State-Indiana-Purdue-Wisconsin-Northwestern-Illinois Big Ten West USC-UCLA-Oregon-Washington-Utah-Stanford-Cal-Texas Tech-Baylor-Iowa-Nebraska-Minnesota Something like that.
