Allegedly UM was try to push the start of spring classes back a week…

[5XNC]

To allow for unlimited practice time instead of being subject to the limits once school is in session. Need approval from the academics. Not sure if it was approved

 

[TheATLCane]

I’m going to guess/hope it was approved

Kids aren’t getting paid NIL for class. That’s the reality of the new world

6hrs a week is all that Indiana needs.

Then Mario needs 3 hrs!

 

[Silentobserver]

6hrs a week is all that Indiana needs.

As long as other programs store vital schematics and data on cloud servers, anything more than 6 contact hours on field is over kill

 

[RozayCane]

lol at any professor who wouldn’t excuse all those players Absences

 

[TwentySix]

Not approving that would be such an unserious move

 

[90scane]

Pretty sure the UM President is a massive fan of the football and athletics program. Not sure there is much more to say.

There are other things to consider. In order to keep commencement and other things on schedule, you'd have to remove some reading days or something. The fact that this is a rule is a joke, the fact that the academic calendar(Which isn't uniform across the country) can be used to provide an advantage to certain schools is weird as F.

Pretty sure it’s just the field practice that is 6hrs

 

[90scane]

Pretty sure it’s just the field practice that is 6hrs

which is still a joke. The kids aren’t in school and they can have 20hrs of coaching during school.

Our last couple of presidents probably would have canceled this game as to not interfere with orientations

Forest from the trees. Spend money and make money. The brand just got a massive B12 booster this year and last. Getting $36m from this run hopefully offsets most costs and gives them comfort for future spending. We also are well positioned for 2029 expansion when media rights could jump by 30-50m with the streaming companies pushing for access.

I petition to add an American flag react emoji for times like this

Couldn’t they all wait to register next week? How is it any different from Fall?

Outside of just the direct dollar amount from the payouts, I’ll be very curious to see what application numbers look like after this run.

I’ve heard they are up. While that is nice and helps allow them to drive up the actual revenue per student, I have to imagine the UHealth could see the bigger benefit.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

Have a hard time believing Joe E wouldn't approve it.

Let’s be real. The kids will be putting in way more than 20hrs no matter what the school or ncaa says.

Oh, not debating that. I just think sometimes people don’t realize the impact a great football program can have on things across the board outside of just CFP payouts, ticket sales, etc.
