You can facepalm me all you want. It isn't going to change the fact that many of the universities that Auburn competes directly against have more money than Auburn for athletics right now. It also isn't going to change the fact that as a fan I enjoy having consistent players to root for on my teams. The NIL/Transfer portal have now made that unstable vs the pro sports. It is not enjoyable to me. I also believe that all student athletes regardless of sport should receive full tuition, books/supplies, university housing, utilities, and dining. If you wear the Orange and Blue you should be able to leave with a degree debt free. $192 million and only 10% goes to Athletic Student Aid. So where does the money go? https://knightnewhousedata.org/fbs/sec/auburn-university Edit: If you go to the website you can hover for more details. The following is for other expenses:

I wouldn't worry about the Directors Cup that much. There is a reason that Stanford has won it something like 26 out of the last 28 years. That is because they have 36 NCAA sponsored teams that can be counted in the scoring. Scoring Breakdown: https://nacda.com/sports/2018/7/17/directorscup-nacda-directorscup-scoring-html.aspx There are SEC schools with sports we don't have. UK's Men's soccer went to the second round of the NCAA's. UF's women's lacrosse is currently 14 and 2. Those are points Auburn doesn't have access to. We are missing sports that other universities have. Auburn relies on the main sports (football/basketball/baseball). Then if you look at it through revenue generation, Auburn is just outside the top 10 at 11, but 7 of our direct opponents are in the top 10. This in the age of NIL and facilities. This is how Stanford won last years Cup (notice the sports they could of got points in but didn't need): https://nacda.com/news/2023/6/28/directorscup-stanford-captures-learfield-directors-cup.aspx I would like to see Auburn do well in all athletics, but I think the NIL/transfer portal is going to push fans and alumni away from donations. I know I've found myself drifting to more interest in Dallas professional teams over Auburn since the NIL. Least I know who is coming and going at the end of seasons vs college. So far the OP goes. For me at least the combination of the NIL and the transfer portal make me not care as much about Auburn athletics. I'd rather my money go to someone like Miro Heiskanen for the Stars through 2028 vs a Aden Holloway for 1 year at Auburn.

I remember seeing the Allman Brother's Band at Auburn for homecoming one year. Great band, RIP. Lol, then I think we went from the show to the Super Club for Mel and the Party Hats...... thank you!

Hoe Over The Top by Daniel Moore.

Thinking this will be a fun show next week, not often you get to see some of the classic New Wave artists..... Subtle innuendos follow:

You obviously don't know many Alabama fans.

1990. Colorado vs Missouri. The 5th down game. Colorado has a NC cause of it.

I use these to run the internet through my place. Go from the router to the wall and then to whatever room you want. I use it to run a Firestick and my work laptop dock in another room. Get better speed and connectivity than with the Wifi. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-powerline-ac1200-gigabit-ethernet-adapter-2-pack-white/4002029.p?skuId=4002029

I loved Pitfall.

But did you play them while listening to Buckner and Garcia!

We lost another legend, RIP Jeff Back. http://www.jeffbeck.com/1944-2023/?utm_campaign=products&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=jeffbeck.com
