California fires coach Justin Wilcox after nine seasons

California has fired football coach Justin Wilcox after compiling a 48-55 record in his nine seasons with the Golden Bears.

Would make a fantastic hire and I’m sure there’s guys from his team that would still stay for him

Do not understand that one. Cal is in a financial mess, at least as I understand it, and in the road tripper conference ACC. I seriously doubt they will get anyone better.

College football 2025-26 transfer portal preview

Expect a wild two weeks when the college football transfer portal opens in January.

Interesting tidbit from this:

Schools that had strong NIL collective support front-loaded their deals with players for 2025, paying out millions before July 1 to keep that money off the books in anticipation of the House settlement establishing a cap as well as a new enforcement arm, the College Sports Commission (CSC), that requires deals to be reported and legitimate.

The consequences were foreseeable: Power 4 programs intentionally overspent on their 2025 rosters, which significantly inflated the cost of acquiring transfers and the perceived roster value of players at every position. Now agents are expecting pay raises for 2026, not pay cuts.

"I talk to these agents and they discuss the market and they're just lying, saying every player is worth $500,000 and every really good player is worth $1 million," the Big 12 director of player personnel said. "But then you talk to other GMs and they say the same thing. It's ridiculous."

I'm trying to talk myself into thinking the big dogs messed up the market prices last year, and that coupled with the cancer battle is why Prime did so poorly in in the portal for this year's team.

So, we can be portal kings again.

Theoretically, this could be a big deal for programs in the middle 80%. I obviously don't expect it to substantially level the playing field, but I do think it's going to positively impact the less wealthy.

I think it's cute how people think the nil "cap" will survive contact with a competent lawyer and an appeals court.

My experience is that most lawyers aren’t competent. But then again, most of that is from AllBuffs, so who knows.

No, your experience tracks the real world.

The only fields where I feel like the majority of people are really competent are highly regulated ones where people die if the practitioners get it wrong. Doctor, pilot, etc.

And even then, there's usually a narrow slice of expertise (aka a specialty), outside that expertise and ymmv.

Other fields, 10% is about right.

I feel like 75% of my coworkers could be competent, but shareholder value dictates that the least competent assholes ascend to leadership, so most of that 75% is just dissociating and going along with the incompetent leadership.

The cap is for rev sharing. They’ve already said outside collectives can pay players but theoretically it’s supposed to be legitimate NIL deals submitted and vetted by CSC.

The revenue share cap is also being circumvented via money laundering. Some schools just redirect the funds to players to parties who make “legit” NIL payments to players. It is the reason why Lane Kiffin can negotiate a floor of outside NIL with the school - the Athletic Dept is guaranteeing the money.
