The problem is that they basically lost all ability to regulate NIL... they have to regulate something else to temper NIL because NIL is an all or nothing proposition. As soon as players became entitled to compensation, the NCAA pretty much lost all control over the who, what, where, when and...

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/deion-sanders-callous-rule-abiding-eradication-of-colorados-football-roster-a-sign-of-whats-to-come/ Just dropping this here. Apologize if this link was buried elsewhere but I didn’t see it. Long and short of it... whatever you think of Deion’s...

I'm not so optimistic. If there are a dozen "blue blood" or "elite" or "contenders" or whatever, no one school is getting rich collecting their 3rd and 4th string cast offs. The departures from those 12 schools are spread across 110 other programs; there aren't enough to change the fortunes of...

Hear, Hear! I don't think the animosity is actually toward the kids, but it certainly comes off that way when we start to vent... I think you're correct, a big part of the appeal of college athletics is the "bond" of having attended the same school and investing your time and effort in the...

Of course, you are correct. How many Saturdays do you think we line up across from a “like minded” institution? It’s just really frustrating to play with such a handicap and with the ease of transfer, having actual classroom standards becomes an even bigger hurdle for player retention. I...

This right here... that’s what we’re competing against virtually every Saturday. Id like to think there are points for doing things the “right” way (and I appreciate Key and Tech for trying) but there aren’t. Big time college athletics has very little to do with colleges or students at this point.

I agree... if he’s ineligible here, he is ineligible. Or should be. But those “fluff classes” elsewhere might actually look like “progress” depending on the degree hes chasing at the next stop. My overall opinion; if we can’t keep a kid eligible and he can magically become eligible elsewhere...

Wouldn’t eligibility be based on the grades you’ve earned to date? With everything else out the window, surely we can find a way to keep kids eligible. If he is ineligible here and other P5 programs will pay him and somehow make him eligible, what are we doing? The transcript won’t change...

I hear what you’re saying, but the bolded part i disagree with. The experiment is whether or not Deion can be successful. If he is, it’ll be because he has some coaching chops to go along with the recruiting and persona. His success or failure is not proof of concept, it’s proof of Deion. I’ll...

Yup... I was missing some context.... the whole damn link! I don’t know what I did the first time, but I failed accessing the link…all I got was the tweet and the screenshot Thanks for posting the first time and setting me straight to second time!

I feel like I donated this 35 years ago. Funny how fashion recycles. :ROFLMAO: I actually like it... Probably looked better on me 35 years ago though. .. I can’t blame the jacket for that.

Not directed at you but I hate Twitter and blog reporting. Awful, generic, incoherent and incomplete thoughts compiled as breaking info... I can take away about 20 things from this blurb and 18 of them are contradictory. I’m sure I’m missing context. If valid / accurate; top individual deals...

Great... we’ve lost him to nasa. Do they have to pay the buyout?

We’ve all become drama queens... :LOL:

Good info- thank you. As for the bolded part above, that was in reply to the assertion that posters were declaring failure due to staff and roster issues they’re seeing. My point was that I hadn’t seen those declarations but if it is happening, I agree it’s way premature. However, concerns may...

i do think people are seeing what they want to see. Opinions being like ***holes and all... It’s certainly too soon to declare it an abject failure, but roster and staffing are valid concerns, right? I’m seeing a lot of coaching and portal news but not really up to speed on where our “peers”...

I’ll say this... I don’t fault people who question the hire. I haven’t seen anyone say they don’t like the hire or point to actual failures (maybe I missed it), but I understand some apprehension about it. There are certainly people looking for signs... we all are... and we see what we want to...

But is the enrollment hit rate really that low? If over 53,000 applications were received and two groups were accepted at rats of 12% and 36%, that means we accepted between 6300-18,800 students. Logically, that number is going to be a lot closer to the 18k figure (prob 14k-15k I’d guess)...

Wait a minute.... did we finally “get old?”
