This is a top-tier program in college athletics… and look at the numbers.
Football: +$57M
Almost every other sport: operating at a loss
Now understand this — if a program like this is barely breaking even overall, what do you think is happening across the rest of the country?
Most athletic departments are running in the red.
Athletics still matters. It builds culture, discipline, opportunity, and identity for a school. But the reality is shifting. Revenue is driving decisions more than ever.
The gap is growing. And if programs aren’t aligned, efficient, and creating value… hard decisions are coming.
@CoachTatum90 My bad didn’t explain that question very well. What I meant was, is it possible to have one rule for a FB on GT who’s lined up to the call side? I know there’s a lot of things he can do I.e. go down on the combos, clean up the alley, etc…what would you do?

@CoachCaldera won’t say it, so I will… that ‘24 Perkiomen Prep team is as good as any group PAISAA has seen this decade
One D3 National Title
Five Conference Titles
Eight National Tourney Appearances
You hear a lot about the NBA/D1 guys, not many Varsity levels have done this!
LOOK AT THESE! You've probably never heard of "mesovortices," but the eyes of major/intensifying hurricanes, like Category 5 Melissa, actually contain addition, smaller whirls a few miles across.
Mesovortices are a few miles across; they form as a way to balance an extreme discontinuity in angular momentum. In the buzzsaw-like eyewall – that ring of winds spiraling around the eye – there's an incredible amount of extreme wind and "angular momentum." But in the eye, there's hardly any – the air is calm.
That means the eyewall "chafes" against the calm eye. Since the atmosphere is a fluid, that chafing pinches off into eddies and vortices.
Think about when you're kayaking or canoeing through a pond. You might notice a few whirlpools shedding off your oar as the moving oar sweeps through the stationary water. A similar premise exists here.
In this case, the atmosphere handles the transition from the eyewall to the eye by having some of the fluid "curl back" on itself, forming 4, 5 to 6 smaller "mesovortices." This eye exhibited a "wavenumber 5" pattern, meaning there were five mesovortices.
The mesovortices often contort the inner edge of the eyewall into a wonky "sawtooth" pattern. That means that, if you stand right near the interface, you'd have about 5 minutes of "in... out... in... out" where, despite being basically in the eye, ebbs of the eyewall could still swing through and bring you a sudden, extreme gust.
Welcome to the magic of fluid dynamics in the atmosphere.
The Sentinel-2 satellite captured this image of Melissa's eye at peak intensity. 10m pixel resolution - one of the best satellite images ever captured of a hurricane of this intensity.

@EaglesXsandOs@ShaneHaffNFL Because of the look he was getting. Mike pushed to the front side snag concept opening a window for the dig but the safety drove it. Cowboys matched everything well here.
