Louisville
GT
USF
Memphis
LA Tech

When I say "them" I mean JSU and Hunter.

Now, if Sanders gets a G5 or P5 offer, sure the circus will follow. But there is nothing in his past that would indicate that Deon has the temperament to be a P5 head coach. To the contrary everything he has ever done points to the fact that it would be a disaster in the making. But, some program will risk it, I suspect. I would be a willing observer.

At this point it's a numbers game. Florida has the highest average of that group, and likely of most teams between them and say 20. They only have 10 commits, which is why their number is so low. They will add another 10 between now and NSD, and those will likely be players higher ranked than Nebraska or Vanderbilt. That said, they will be even further behind Bama, UGA, LSU and TAMU and those are the only teams they should be comparing themselves with.

Now, they aren't in on many really high players, and their average is high because of 2 really good players they landed. But if you go by average, they are easily top 20. Better than 11th Ky, and even with no. 9 Michigan.

Gross ... just defended the Gators ... threw up in my mouth.

Name the last time Jackson State beat out ANY P5 program for the nations #1 recruit.
Deion Sanders knows how to market and he knows how to recruit in this era. Like him or not he’s gonna have to be dealt with obviously, if he’s getting top recruits to come to the FCS level then he will without a doubt have top classes coming to him when he goes to the P5 level.
Ive seen the guy be a father figure to more than one at risk young men before he ever started his coaching career so… I like the guy outgoing personality and all and I think he’s gonna do well TBH.

yes, Coach Prime should get a chance at a big time school b/c of Barstool Sports.

brilliant analysis

and discounting the importance of actual coaching + player development is dumb as shit.

HBCs need to ditch that shit and get back into the FCS playoff if they ever want to try to establish any real clout.

Not going to. Too much money doing it this way. The SWAC was one of the first conf. to back out of the FCS playoffs. The Grambling/Southern game was played the 1st week of the playoffs. That game was played in the Superdome and was nationally televised. Then the SWAC champ game was also televised. They could make far more money with this than the playoffs.
As the playoffs expanded, a SWAC team would get in the playoffs every once in a while. Wasn't the CC, tho. The other conf. backed out of the playoffs also. When the playoffs first started a number of teams lost money by playing. The ncaa took a lot of the money.
Now, these two conf. have them a "bowl" game, televised. Money, money, money. It's the name of the game.

Is it really lucrative for them though? They play in a game that literally no one watches and that makes them more money than winning a FCS championship?

Yes, the conf gets more money this way. For years, the ncaa took so much money from the playoff system, just about all the fcs teams bitched. Don't think it changed much tho.
With the expanded playoffs and more games are televised, this has probably changed. It's doubtful the SWAC and the other conf. will change.
The Grambling/Southern game has a high viewership.

Bayou Classic - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org


It is the best known annual game and rivalry in historically black college or university (HBCU) football and was nationally televised in the U.S. by NBC from 1991 to 2014. Since 2015 it has aired on the NBC Sports Network.[3] The Bayou Classic was the only National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Football Championship Subdivision game to be shown regularly on broadcast television. Fans have been known to refer to it as the "Black Super Bowl", although that name is not used in any official capacity by either school due to the National Football League's restrictions on the use of the "Super Bowl" name. Both schools typically forgo FCS playoff eligibility to participate in the Bayou Classic. The game is one of two black college football classics to be associated with Thanksgiving weekend; the other is the older Turkey Day Classic.


The Bayou Classic is a major source of revenue ($50 million) to the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana.[8] 250,000 visitors descend upon New Orleans over the course of the events leading up to the game, and the national television audience has attracted between four and five million viewers.[9] The success of the game has inspired the promotion of numerous other HBCU rivalries and "classics". In the past the stadium attendance had averaged between 50,000–70,000 annually. Hurricane Katrina brought some

Then they have their bowl game televised.

Again, I don't know how much money is now available in the playoffs, with more televised games, but I don't see them going back to the playoffs.
