On3 Buys Rivals

[Carm]

Interesting, I would think the Transfer Portal and NIL would fall under Recruiting.

On 3 is keeping the stuff that is interesting and dumping the HS recruiting piece - which is becoming increasingly less interesting to most fans - into Rivals.

I bet that eventually goes to private equity or a management buyout of some kind.

That makes it sound like HOL and Inside Nebraska will continue to exsist as two separate sites?

It does! Covering two different things

And they'll sell separate subscriptions, I bet.

 

[Carm]

Means Munsson will go to Rivals, most likely

No just one - the key is there are few crossover subscribers

might need a welcoming thread for all of the rivals refugees

 

[Carm]

The more I think about these comments, the more I go back to thinking there will be one fansite per school that accesses data from both networks

It will be interesting to see how this develops

If there's one thing we've learned from the exodus of the past, I think we need to be very selective of who is allowed over here or the board will go to shit quickly.

good point

we need some kind of strong border patrol/defense, along with a strenuous vetting system

Ah, a telling comment. It is the Rivals recruiting team of "national guys" who are being retained.



That would mean guys like Greg Smith stay.

When Deab moved HuskerOnline over to On3, he basically didn't tell anyone what was going on and just expected the mods to follow him from Rivals. They created accounts for all of the mods on On3 and we just got a random email from some dude telling us how to move forward with our account. Some followed, some followed and were still mods on Rivals(me) and some just didn't create their new accounts.

Fast forward to about 6-8 months ago, all of the mods on On3 just started losing their moderation abilities and come to find out, they basically fired all of the mods and didn't tell anybody. I guess it had something to do with On3 not wanting non paid employees to have mod abilities. There is a mod thread on On3 with Deab, Mongo, etc included. People would ask Deab what was going on and he wouldn't respond, like the coward he is. So, as far as I know, the only mods on On3 anymore are the writers like Deab, Mongo and Pedo Sipple.

It's ok, I never really did much with On3. Rivals is a much better place behind the scenes and Zack is a good dude.

Jeremy Crabtree who I believe was the #2 guy at rivals before going to ESPN is starting a boutique recruiting service based out of KC. He came and talked to our football kids a week or 2 ago. I asked him about Callahan, he didn't say anything bad about him, but did say "I like to remind him that Sean Callahan isn't Sean Callahan without Jeremy Crabtree". Kind of made me laugh.

Jesus, if they keep Dean and get rid of Tim and Steve, there will be mass exodus

Count me as one of those. This sucks.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Tim and Steve are the best, hope they don't go anywhere.

Yes. It would suck to lose them. Biggest reason I'm on there is because of those two and Zack. Morons over at the local On3

However, they're so talented that they'll eventually move on to something bigger/better.

If anything happens to my rivals mainboard I’ll kill my self.

Idk how to confirm but those tweet was allegedly liked by Shannon Terry

 

[Adolph Coors]

Well shit. The ON3 board is way better for trolling but for actual insight it's Inside Nebraska all day long.

i pay 2 subscriptions and dont get on either site ever

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Since this is an acquisition, On 3 will keep the subscribers, keep fansites (which are more like franchises) in markets in which they did not have a fansite, decide which fansites to keep in markets with duplicates. Most of the On3 sites were acquistions which were acquired because of their top position in a market, so the On 3 sites likely will almost all stay. I think everyone at eliminated fansites would be out of a job and would get whatever severance local law requires, with fansite owners getting some kind of buyout.

The National Rivals team? The best guys would get job offers from On 3, probably mostly offset by layoffs from On 3. Everyone else is duplication and would get severed, I would think.

It could be local fansite reporters get offers but they are likely to be few and far between. Does Callahan need a larger staff? The answer is No, I would guess. It's the same thing as before, just more subscribers. Keep Mongo? He probably is cheap as it is a part-time job for him.

I think Yahoo was losing money on Rivals, which explains the deal structure.

So does the national board go with it? I suspect it does.

Love cruising that while pounding a few adult beverages on a Friday night.
