Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend ("F*** Texas and all of its money.")

Great list of funny women but many of these ladies aren’t comedians. As in stand up comedy.
It’s possible, but I think it’s a lot to ask of him to replace Golden, A.D. and Worthy caliber guys. Next year, absolutely. If we can bring in a stud #1, Wingo and Moore will likely shine in those roles.
Sure. Actors had to say stuff.
Bull Durham, which I like a lot, is completely made up. Almost all movies are. That is not a knock on a movie, that someone created it.
We just disagree.

Those are the type you’re going to need to win a title this year. Golden wasn’t enough last year and we don’t have a Golden on the roster currently.
Always such a great read but especially when it’s hard to get news in one place. On the road to see the Omaha beach at Normandy and just really appreciate your take on Texas sports. Not sure about the comedian list. Have to think on it. Not a fan of Barr but the rest make sense. Kudos Ketch!
Zero Shi** about other schools. The 45 years I’ve been following UT Athletics we weren’t allowed to use our financial advantage. You think they’d mention us carrying conferences and sharing revenue with lesser members or how we politely waited for NIL to become official policy when no one else would.
No telling how many players, trophys and championships we missed on playing by the rules. How many more wins if we don’t pay Kansas St. to have equal or better talent? We were schmucks!

Football is specifically limited to 85 players for all schools.
Not that it’s simple, and it’s also still evolving. But many people still don’t have a grip on the economic/financials of college athletics. Even some of the basics. I guess the shift from “amateur” to “professional” still has many confused, despite the Olympics and pro sports as examples. Might be worth a piece on the “new economics” of college sports, and the end of artificial controls over amateur athletes’ rights.
Seriously, a lot of people need a primer on collegiate athletics economics! So much has happened so fast, confusion is everywhere. How confused are people? I had a friend ask me if UTAustin’s athletics revenues, like from the conference TV contracts, trickles down to other system schools like UTSA or UT Arlington.
A ton. Baseball wasn’t so heavily loaded with partial scholarships because UT Athletics didn’t have the money. It was Title IX equality.
Hope it doesn’t mean more rowers in Town Lake. They already think they own the place.
Just an educated guess here, but I suspect Title IX also contributed to women’s rowing 68 scholarships. Hook ‘em! JG
Hey, here's hoping he's the truth and a future big dog NFL prospect. You'd probably trade those other dudes all sucking if you knew he was going to be that kind of player.
Broadcast revenue Gate revenue. Merchandising. There's a long list of money producing elements that don't involve findraising. Broadcast revenue being the biggest.
I think the thought is that he's the best available based on the parameters they are looking for.
I wasn't talking about personally, although that applies (I suppose), I was talking about the wider reception.
I could have led with about 10 different things. I could have led with Kenneth Sims. I thought more people than none would have something to say about it.
But, that's the new bar. Sark will not want to dip below that level.
