Kevin Faulk won't stay on staff as LSU's running backs coach, sources say https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_06ebf134-5914-11ec-ad46-1b830b20cdd9.html

Citizen, Clemons… So where’s Indy’s next stop?

Massive PR!

They only mentioned Football, Basketball, and Baseball though.

That’s my point. Football and Basketball represent the foundation of course but Olympic sports can reach new markets and generate additional PR at lower cost (these athletes can reach women, urban, even global fans). Olympic athletes can also be superstars (Suni, Natalie Coughlin at Cal, Katie Ledecky at Stanford, Michelle Kwan at UCLA, etc)… international athletes as well. IG followers: Alabama Crimson Tide FB - 1M Suni Lee - 1.5M

I think they should also add Swimming and Gymnastics (that’s where moderate amount of $ can have a real impact. Football requires millions of dollars just to be somewhat competitive) - UVA and NC State Swimming managed to sign each several Olympians partially because of their NIL systems. High school kids competing at the Tokyo Olympics now swimming in college = bunch of gold medals & massive PR in just a few years from now.

I don’t think there are any plans (it was just a request). However, demolishing BEMC would make sense and create some additional space.

USC Trojans also reaching out to Clemons

Michigan?! (Apparently visiting Michigan soon) Four-star wide receiver Darius Clemons hasn’t been discussed much in regards to Michigan for a while, but now he’s started to show interest in the Wolverines again. The coaching carousel is also helping with this, as Oregon, which is viewed as the favorite to land him, could lose head coach Mario Cristobal to Miami. Auburn has been seen as the other favorite, but 6-6 looks a lot worse compared to 12-1 with the No. 2 seed in the CFP. https://www.maizenbrew.com/michigan-football-recruiting/2021/12/6/22819564/michigan-wolverines-football-recruiting-big-ten-championship-2022-and-2023-class

We need to get more serious about investing in future athletic facilities upgrades because cosmetic upgrades won’t do it. I read that Ole Miss is planning to invest $300M in facilities upgrades (2023-2026) $250-300M in stadium renovations $35-40M Manning Center upgrades TAMU will add $200M in athletics renovations to its current budget Vanderbilt to invest $300M in athletic facilities upgrades What would be our priority list? Football Performance Center (check) JHS expansion/renovation Basketball Performance Center (as requested by BP) other?

I think the team looked most confident vs Penn State, LSU, and Arkansas. They looked like a typical Auburn team. Something happened during the second half vs Ole Miss and the whole personality of the team changed for the rest of the season.

Miami fans are more optimistic. Cristobal has canceled all his recruiting trips and is rushing back to Oregon. Teem meeting scheduled for tomorrow(?)

Elliott might accept either Duke or Virginia HC job. Any chance A.Williams will not sign with Clemson now?
