Ole Miss announced Jack Borris at the end of August. His background is 11-plus years at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, plus a master's in sports administration from Boston College. Not a scout. Not a former player. A finance guy. His remit: athlete finance strategy, cap management, revenue share, NIL and roster construction — a job description that did not exist five years ago. In July the SEC and Big Ten both voted to support the Protect College Sports Act, which moves the cap from $21.3 million to $48.8 million. More than double, and somebody has to decide where it goes. Look at what this roster already is: only three of nine defensive backs returned. Segment two is the other structural bet. Pete Golding is in his first full season running the program and is still calling the defense himself — the opposite of what a first-year head coach normally does. On3 reported this week that Golding is the first coach in modern college football history to open a head coaching career against four ranked opponents in his first four games, and that he is 3-1 in them. The honest counterweight: that is On3's research rather than a record book, and it is not a one-man job either. Bryan Brown is the defensive coordinator of record and sits in the box, and Todd Cooley runs the practice structure that frees Golding up to call it at all. What does he owe that defense on Saturday?
