Ask him who makes the best pepperoni rolls in West Virginia.

I can already answer this one for you: it's the ones that are in the little plastic bags at Little General locations. Anywhere else you buy one is going to be just as good (or bad) as the gas station ones, but they might use stick pepperoni or be terrible in other ways.

Steve Sarkisian, the new head football coach at the University of Texas at Austin, is guaranteed to make at least $34.2 million throughout his six-year contract, according to a UT Board of Regents meeting agenda.

The board is expected to approve Sarkisian’s salary Thursday. Sarkisian, who was hired Jan. 2, will make $5.2 million in his first year as coach and is guaranteed a $200,000 raise each year. Sarkisian’s compensation also includes two dealership cars, 20 hours of private airplane use per year and a $250,000 relocation and temporary housing allowance. He will additionally receive a one-time payment of $1.2 million if he is still head coach on December 31, 2024. All of these funds will come from Texas Athletics, whose budget includes revenue from multiple sources including licensing, broadcasting rights, ticket sales and donors, according to university spokesperson J.B. Bird.

Apparently there are 9 total schools that wouldn't be in the game right now, but it sounds like individual deals can be worked out. The other eight are Air Force, Army, Georgia State, Navy, New Mexico, Notre Dame, Troy and USC.

I would be surprised if Kentucky, Notre Dame, and USC are not in it upon release. The service academies and other smaller schools i have no idea though.

I'd be curious how the service academies handle player compensation. The closest thing I can think of is how DoD handles side gigs, which is basically frowned upon but not forbidden.

As a South Alabama grad, I loving hope Troy gets left out of the game. They still use NCAA 13 as a taunt.

Wait the players aren't getting paid? I thought it was coming back because they'd figured out how to pay the players?

This is pending some rule/law changes that basically everyone is expecting to happen in the near future (before the game is released). That's why what schools are saying about their involvement right now doesn't really matter. It's very unlikely the game is released before player likenesses and compensation are worked out.

The game is at least 2 years away. I'm 99.999 percent positive all team deals will be worked out and the NCAA will probably work out a blanket licensing deal.
