Even though it’s the “off-season,” there is still a lot going on. Spring sports are wrapping up, and there are updates happening with the transfer portal (basketball and football). Through it all, we have you covered. Take a look at today’s links, plus the content coming your way on our site.
San Jose State College Football Preview.
Summers mean football previews and here is one about SJSU. Coach Brennan is trying to retool or reload in hopes of avoiding a big rebuild. He has some nice pieces in place heading into next year, especially at QB and OL, plus a clear #1 WR, but they could use an outbreak season or two from other skill players. The defense has to replace two of the better pass rushers in the conference, but the secondary should be a strength. The article predicts they will be a five or six-win team, which seems about right.
Aztecs to PAC-12 draws closer.
Conference realignment has never been more complicated. The ACC might be on the rocks or maybe not. The PAC-12 is either on the brink of destruction or will usher in a new era of members. The Big 12 was once left for dead and is now poised to be the unquestioned third-best conference. The only certainty seems to be that San Diego State will join a major conference, which is almost sure to be the PAC-12. This, of course, assumes the PAC can get their new media deal done without everything falling apart.
School Apparel Deals
While the topic of this article is Notre Dame, it has some interesting information for fans of all teams. Matt Brown of Extra Points mentions that apparel deals with schools could see monetary amounts decreasing. With Under Armos scaling back, the market appears to be leveling out for the time being. While this may not have an impact on Notre Dame, it could make a difference for teams in the Mountain West. Also worth noting, many schools actually don’t get cash from their deals, as the amount that is made public is usually the value of shows, jerseys, and other athletic equipment.
