***2025-26 CFB Coaching Carousel***

NIL combined with a couple other rule changes could possibly cause an explosion of interest and possibly ratings (relative to what they were) for college hockey. Sparty has 19 current NHL draft picks on their team this year and Michigan has about a dozen.

That’s such a massive leap in talent that would be playing juniors or somewhere else before the changes.

Hockey also has one major advantage in that during the offseason or off days the rink can also be used by students and club/IM teams where a lot of other facilities can’t.

I love hockey. One of my favorite sports.

But the above just references revenue. What is the sport’s expenses? Also, I’d bet that the UW men’s hockey team’s revenues go directly to the women’s hockey team for funding. I doubt it’s a money maker or even a break even between the two sports.

Oh for sure, if it makes money it just goes back into facilities and the accounting gets real weird when you add the women’s side.

I think is has potential to make money although not a lot. For the big ten it’s also almost always only available though big ten plus unless it’s a huge game on Fox or Fox sports. No idea how you calculate the revenues from the subscription service for that either

Ok, I have received $1.70 for corn, $4.70 something for beans. Paid 18% interest. Seen $4000 an acre farm ground go to about $1700 an acre. Ya it can get worse from here. Also you could buy a furnace to burn the $1.64 corn in to heat your house if you wanted. I don’t own enough to trade even up for a x9. Our newest tractor is a 2011. Combine is older then that. Ya there will be more pains in the farm sector. Sh$t happens.

Most are land and equipment rich, not wealthy in cash. With the price of land and equipment today, if they cashed out, many would be multi-millionaires. Hard to say that is not wealthy.

If you sold your house and cashed out your 401(k) you'd have a fat bank account too. Also no place to live and no future income stream. I guess it's "different" though because "farmer".

Very true, the Florida coach gets $10.5 million in 30 days from being fired and then another $2.5 million on July 15th for the next four years. His contract also does not have a kickback to lower the amount if he is hired by another school.

Depending on Finkells buyout, it may not be that much if the $25 million is paid out gradually over the length of the contract. Much easier to come up with an extra $5 million a year for the next 5 years than one large payout of say $20 million in a month, then $1 million a year for the next 5.

He would get paid the buyout in monthly increments through March 2032. About $335k a month or $4mil annually. Even that is tough for Wisconsin to stomach right now if that tells you anything about their AD financial situation

Hence the term, Land rich and money poor, much like Wisconsin and Iowa are. Lots of wealth on paper, very little in the bank. I have seen a few farm kids sell off the family farm once the got it, and very few of them are complaining. Its not different because its farmers, but I do know a lot of them that complaining about welfare going to others, but have no problem cashing that check they get from the government. PPP loans and bailouts, another round coming soon.

I don’t hate this, but I do hate that there’s not a clause about coach failing to make the CFP and having the total reduced to no higher than 12th. I know Cignetti had them over a barrel, but this is the stuff that is just ludicrous without a counter.

In reading the link, it sounded like that clause only comes into play if IU reaches the semifinal game. Not just making the CFP.

If he makes the top 4- I doubt Hoosier fans or school would complain.

Only took Sark 2 years to figure out Texas is a place any coach with options doesn't want to spend too long at.

Between Kiffin being pursed by Florida and Sark wanting out of Texas, and Penn St currently vacant... this year's carousel is going to be one wild ride.

Some of these fan bases may want to calm down. Not sure it’s sustainable to keep firing coaches when your feelings get hurt

Not sure I've seen a job come open where I thought they were acting rashly. Even the potential openings that have been speculated about are more than justified.

Take LSU for example. Each of the three previous coaches won national titles, do they feel like they're closer to winning one than they were in his first season?

That said, if it's close decision I'd wait another year because this is very much going to be a buyers market and I'm not sure there will be enough quality candidates to go around. So if I'm north carolina, only way I'm replacing the coach is if he decides he's done.
