Both Colorado and Wisconsin are already looking for new Head Coaches

That’s the sport where administrators love to talk about things like “student-athlete welfare” and building character and teaching life lessons. Well, here is the current life lesson in college football: everyone and everything is expendable, at any time. We will ditch a conference via covert operations for more money, and we will fire a coach who starts to slip in a heartbeat. Watch your back.

So what's the list so far this season: those two, Nebraska, Arizona State, Georgia Tech ....

It will be interesting to watch the dominoes fall. Indirectly, I could see this impacting our conference and FCS. Once the P5 jobs get filled, it will create some opportunities for familiar names.

Petrino was on a path to get another shot at FBS. Maybe if they finish strong he'll get some looks.
If JMU stays hot, Cignetti will be a a candidate for a big payday.

This is why I'm torn about the NIL stuff and the status of amateur athletics. Seems to me that if a coach can get paid $10M or more to go away (or millions to actually coach), why not let the players in on some of that action?

I believe you can soon add Venables to that list if (when?) Oklahoma loses to Texas this weekend. 3 consecutive losses at OU? Unthinkable, yet the P5 money schools all seem to think that their football teams should never lose when the math says that is impossible.

Good for them, honestly do they get the viewership they used to? I haven't watched in a couple years, and seems with all the obscure schools (non SEC, B10) they are trying to boost ratings?

Good they are still showcasing different schools though. Its not as Elite to host as it once was though thats for sure.

Will be an interesting atmosphere. Nice to see another FCS rivalry game get some spotlight.
