Zac was successful in recruiting 👉🏻0👈🏻 athletes during his time at Oklahoma!! This was Brent’s defense don’t fool yourself…

Couz, thanks for the interesting information. I appreciate your thoughts on realignment. I do have a huge question. What the heck does so-called "private equity" have to do with any of this? No one, and especially not Greg Flugauer has ever answered this question. From this video, it sounds like you are saying that someone would borrow money from "private equity" for some unknown purpose and that someone would pay the loan back over time from increased revenue. Am I correct? If so, why is it so important to use the fancy schmancy term "private equity", when all you're really talking about is taking out a loan from an entity that's acting like a bank?

Interesting take... my guess ... at lease 10 of the current B12 programs want PE, and they under Yormark's leadership will use ACC defectors to leverage other hold outs. But i have not idea where/ how/ if ND fits into this puzzle, Definitely going to be a interesting off season

I hope WV wins Big12.....long time coming.....Great athletes and some Great coaches.....Bowden, Holgersen is a darn good coach, Now Rich Rod back! A 60 yr Boomer Sooner

Right Coop....no Loyalty

Great video Couz!!

Well now that I have the insight of the DC hire, I feel just fine with RR’s choices. Let’s trust RR.

NBC Sports has intentionally kept 2 TV contracts: Notre Dame and another for the Big 10. Remember, ND is independent with zero conference exit fees. This means that the network (and USC and Michigan) doesn't want ND over in the Big Ten.

This is a very interesting perspective. I admit that my fear about private equity is what happens (when) a school defaults? Are they going to repossess the school? Is there another way to raise money like sponsorships so that schools can keep 100% of their equity?

I don't know where to go with this, thought maybe you would be interested in my idea, I don't want anything for it just think it could help you and the program

Ken Kendrick could literally buy WVU athletics.

PE is a loan essentiailly. No one takes out a loan for the sake of taking out a loan. There must be a plan of action that all parties agree upon. If PE is a real option then some ACC teams must be involved. Expansion is the only reason to get involved with PE. No ones going to give a loan without the prospect of getting paid back with interest.

The biggest issue is media contracts. Is Disney, Fox, Warner Bros, NBCUniversal, or ParamountCBS going to want to redo existing agreements? That is a big ask. Couz, Stanford is an amazing academic institution. Just they do not bring the Bay Area market. And, no Berkeley doesn’t either. There is a reason they are in the ACC.

As a Texas Tech fan I don’t see why Tech should do private equity

Meh, giving up only 20 percent ownership of all revenue isn’t anything to worry about. The more the merrier in the Big12 and ACC.

Why dont the Big 12 and ACC just combine?

Private equity is dangerous. The people who run them want to make money. They will want to be paid first. The conference would make money second.

F ND! If they want to be in the CFP, then make them join a conference as a “full participant” - not just football.

🤗 I think it would be difficult for the ACC to disband. I don’t think PE is happening although I wouldn’t be opposed to it. I think everyone is staying put for at least a few more years. Who knows? Happy New Year Couz! 🎉!

Brother I think "across the river" is more metaphoric than literal. Everything realignment wise is in the air and youre right theres a lot of recent introductions/injections of financial sources. This is entirely fan sided. Think big picture. Think reductive and frustrating for a lot of teams. OF COURSE PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE INTERESTED IN PE. Sorry for the all caps but they are incentivized to pursue it. Because their lack of transparency benefits them in the PE world.

I hope BYU is in favor of PE!

Bring back the Big East!!!

Big 12 or acc need to pick up Oregon st Washington st and boise state

If with UCincy “you get the state of Ohio,” could you add Temple, “get” the State of Pennsylvania? That was a wee bit of hyperbole, my brother.

Couz I agree. Stanford would more than likely to be ND plus 1 in joining the B1G.

This hirer is a 9 out of 10 He’s a really good coach. MAKE WVU FOOTBALL GREAT AGAIN

Thanks

He wasn't a good fit for La Tech. His offense scheme didn't fit the players they had.

Hey Couz, great show!!! What would the Gold and Blue Dude think about all of this? He is the reason I have found your show and a lot of others. I just wish he was here doing his thing, since so much has happened. I am an OU fan, not a BV fan! Brent V is not the answer and the team next year will be very fragile. A stretch of bad luck will doom their season. Ailey got out before the season collapsed next year. You are not rubbing it in to OU'S face. This makes it more likely the Sooners will have a new coach, this time next year. You have to win at OU, anything else is BS. The fans will revolt if they see the same kind of team next year. That is my desire and that is my prediction. BV has to go, he has become a cancer to the program. Anyway, great hire and best of luck WV. I hope WV can make it to the top of the conference soon. True Sooner fans have no beef with WV. God bless.

Red Raider fan here, great show Couz!

Great video brother. I think he’ll be a solid hire

I didn't see a need to change OL coach.

Rich Rod is making WVU FOOTBALL GREAT AGAIN.

OU fan. It’s a great hire for WV. Venables also most likely won’t be here after 2025 so it’s better job security

Why is that a big deal? Oklahoma have a great defense did they?

Oklahoma is the new Nebraska.

We still need 4+ star recruits. Hope these coaches stay around for more than 2 years.

I love it (Tech fan here); let’s rob the SEC of coaches and Transfer recruits and I hope ASU beats tu!

I read he coached with rich rod at Jackson state?

Great news. Who don't know pass defense been WV biggest problem for years. Now get some really good DB....

Couz didn't they just get toasted by Navy??

Oklahoma fans still salty over the run away beer truck :) leave no doubt! Good hire here couz im excited also. This is an exciting time to be a mountaineer. Lets go !

OU Twitter and TH-cam is a dumpster fire right now. All you hear from the OU fans is that Zac coming to Morgantown is a “step down” from an SEC program to a “mid-tier” school back east. Relationships are everything and it seems that RichRod and Zac have a great coaching relationship.

A mature, rational, unemotional comment. Thank you, and good luck going forward in the SEC.

Jack Bicknell coached Doug Flutie all through his college career including his senior year when he won the Heisman at Boston College in 1984.

The OU fan says WVU hasn’t been relevant since 1988. I believe we was relevant back in the Miami orange bowl beat down. That in turn brought Vinables to Clemson, then head coach at OU. Guess we are getting paid now from Brent for getting him hired back then with his mini me.

Since 1988 huh? Guess they forgot about 2008!

We could have Rex Ryan coaching defense but unless we get good players it’s not going to matter.
