Congrats! Hopefully you’re employed and the gig covers therapy for the last five years!

He could have done a second undergrad degree and be NCAA compliant. It doesn’t have to end at the same time. It’s a better deal for almost everyone if you get the degree that makes sense for you. For some players, that’s a teaching degree so they can coach later. Sometimes, you’re just done...

I just read this in the Athletic 89% of P5 transfers end up somewhere 42% stay in P5 34% sign G5 11% go FCS 2% are JUCO or other 11% are unsigned Our numbers seem to be lower—fewer of our transfers find a P5 home. FBS teams tend to lose 18-19 players on average to the portal per season If...

As I understand it, Zach Gibson transferred here to learn to be a coach. I’ve never talked to him, but it’s possible that he was as surprised as we were to be playing against UVA (all the other QBs had more “stars” than he did). He’s probably learned what he’s going to learn. I hope he...

Their defense is less bad than ours. Also, as multiple fonts have stated in all caps, the exact thing our defense is bad at is the thing than UCF is good at. We have some very good coaches. I like that our offensive coaches have multiple weeks to set up an attack for UCF’s defense. Our...

Very basic stats preview (also the Birmingham Bowl, to spur speculation of “should we have played Troy instead?”**) **No, we should play UCF and get the most out of our team’s bowl prep. They’re favored, though.

This is some pretty epic thread drift.

I guess. We had the talent to blow away UGA, but played a horrendous game. We can lose to teams we should beat. I’m not saying UGA is horrible, but they played badly enough in that game that on an average day we should have won that game comfortably. On the other hand, we have top 25 conference...

I think the station (ESPN) gets some ads and the carrier does. I have ATT, and they don’t even sell all their ads. There’s a placeholder where an ad should go a lot of the time

I hope Louisville is still terrible when we play them (and we win)

They’re running hard. Lack of effort doesn’t seem to be an issue

So far, we have chaos. There is a lack of responsible behavior and foresight in virtually all parties I’ve seen a few people in congress propose legislation, but it seems to have withered The current problem is that there is NO law supporting a CFB antitrust exemption. The NFL has one. The...

No spread yet (but I don’t bet @YlJacket). Looks like the informal number is Penn State by about 2. Here’s the “no line yet” status on the sports books: https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaab-game/georgia-tech-penn-state-score-odds-december-16-2023/209108

It rules that 1) college athletic programs are commercial enterprises and are subject to labor laws and antitrust legislation, 2) the players are covered under labor laws and antitrust legislation, 3) the NCAA’s amateur argument is limited (and is becoming more limited with each court case) and...

https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-135/ncaa-v-alston/ “The United States District Court for the Northern District of California held that limitations on education-related student-athlete benefits constituted unlawful restraints on trade under section 1 of the Sherman Act.” “As a final step...

Various anti-trust and labor laws that they’ve been implicitly violating for 100 years. Eight years ago, those laws didn’t apply because college players weren’t labor—they were “amateurs”. The Supreme Court punctured the amateur concept—the NCAA had stretched it too far—and now they’re all in...

More of a case of striking while the iron is hot. He can go somewhere good and start. He’s not the current QB1 and he’s not the next QB1. Time to move on

Well, it’s a clue that we aren’t Louisville

I think Steve Kerr says that. It’s how the game is built

Ironically, the NFL anti trust exemption carves out protections for high school and college football. The legislators of the day didn’t foresee today’s college football environment
