They’re entitled the athlete’s workout rooms, their food plan, tutors, and the rest of their scholarship and training benefits, aside from team meetings and practices. Them’s the NCAA rules for the transfer portal.

That would make one guess there’s a time sensitive inducement, wouldn’t it? Otherwise, use the portal in Spring

You’re right—I was responding to a later idea that they’d have any difficulty with our schedule. The original post was about the idea we played an easier schedule (we didn’t). That was SEC homerism by the YouTube guys. But swap our schedule for theirs, and you get about the same results...

Most models projected them to win 11.5 ish games against their schedule. They’d have been projected to win 11.5 games against our schedule (maybe less because they’d have to play UGA), and against Alabama’s. Maybe it’s worse for them in the B1G mixed in with Michigan and Ohio State and Penn...

The athletic program should only be involved to make sure there are no rule violations that make their players ineligible. Technically.

Short answer—it’s not supposed to be directed by the school or the AA. Really, all the NIL collectives are against the rules. Basically, a few things are supposed to be enabled by Alston: Players should get money from merchandise with their names or numbers, including from video game...

Ok. Schedule gets a lot easier when your rival is out of the top 25 rather than #1 UT Martin Ball State South Carolina UAB Anywhere from 4-0 to 2-2 (if we have our inscrutable early season folds) for the first 4 games. Let’s say 3-1 Auburn Kentucky Vandy Florida Anywhere from 4-0 to 1-3...

Troy vs Liberty is either a great matchup or will blow out in a weird way. I’m surprised Duke didn’t go after one of those coaches.

What does that even mean? We scheduled a harder patsy? If UGA schedules BG they get a loss or they look weaker? That we scheduled BG as a tough opponent? We scheduled BG to lose to us. The toughest teams on our schedule were Louisville, Ole Miss, and Clemson. They stomped Ole Miss. UGA is...

They played Ball State, UT Martin, and UAB. They played one more patsy than we did (BG and SCST).

Yeah, the South Carolina game moved them up to 8 wins. My mistake there. We played Ole Miss out of conference, FCS SCST, and 7-5 Bowling Green. We deserve credit for scheduling Ole Miss. In conference, we played 10-2 Louisville 8-4 Clemson 8-4 UNC 7-5 Miami 6-6 BC 6-6 Syracuse 4-9 Wake...

There is. If you transfer and you get no playing time, you can transfer back with no penalty. It’s a really low amount of playing time, though.

The ACC has only a limited role. The commissioner is not campaigning for us to go to the “lowest bowl”, or else we’d get the Birmingham or Gasparilla bowls like many fans want. If we don’t get Charlotte or the Gator Bowl, it’s because they preferred another team. We can campaign and influence...

Duke hasn’t played in the Mayo bowl in 11 years, and it’s been 5 for VT. That seems to be one of the dominoes to cause others to fall. NCST, UNC, Miami, Clemson, and Duke look likely to get picked ahead of us (better overall record, even though we’re 4th in conference) I think that puts us in...

If we had beaten Bowling Green, Clemson, and Boston College, they’d all have six wins or less. When you win all the time, your opponents lose more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Leonard doesn’t have a head coach, which would be an excuse. But, his old coach is at TA&M—who has cash—and Notre Dame is calling. DJU also lost his head coach (Oregon State promoted a coordinator). He’s probably being courted. Van Dyke seems to have been pushed out at Miami—he’s lost the fans...
