Yes, we did. Isn’t that right Peter?

A&M was a mess that season. CJF ended up getting fired. It may have been that he just wasn't going to progress there, and he left.

Time to put the dogs up.

So happy he had a good season this year.

I remember it well. I still had to register for the draft, though the draft per se ended a year before my 18th birthday with the end of the war. Sobering moment.... if that war had broken back out. Still have that card today as a souvenir of my life. Ha!

Nam very likely created a lot of dwags with that 4-year deferment.

I like ES, but if I had a pro team, he just wouldn’t be a $1M player. Not trying to be mean. He makes some plays from game to game, but he doesn’t get good separation and he doesn’t have great hands.

By 1974 you couldn’t. One quarter linear algebra, one quarter differential calculus, one quarter integral calculus. Management major start to finish.

Me too. My fingers work faster than my brain these days.

Respectfully disagree. Yes, the NCAA made a hash of it, but what’s happening now was bound to happen through the courts with the rapid commercialization of college football and basketball. Was the NCAA part and parcel of that? Yes, but the original hole in the dam was the 1984 decision to open...

First off, there are for profit schools, but I take your point. What is different now, and what is driving the angst of guys like you and me, is these guys are no longer (or maybe minimally) students. There is a qualitative difference. So then, let’s drop the illusion of schools being NPs and...

He graduated, IIRC.

Unless they go to a pro model, and seek an anti-trust exemption with a union and CBA, or go the route of employee, which I cannot see happening, this will be a new model for semi-pro sports. Seems to me the only way to get there is for some umbrella organization (NCAA?) to implement actions to...

That was the discussion when it happened about 20 years ago. AAs needed the 12th game, or so they said. So you'd have to ask them.

Yes, their status will have to change. It better or the game is dead. It’s little more than an annual, expensive pick-up game right now.

Let it be known that an Atlanta team beat a Brock Bowers team, but they wore red and black, not white and gold.

All pro sports have contracts. Works for them. This is now pro sports. Somebody has to give somewhere in all this. It’s killing the game.
