The NCAA isn't going to turn college football players transferring into free agency.

http://footballscoop.com/news/ncaa-confirms-wont-turns-transfer-rule-free-agency/

SAs should commit to schools, not to coaches. If they allow a snake oil salesman to sell them a bill of goods...there are consequences for decisions. I’m not in favor of expanding the transfer rules.

In the case like Ole Miss...if SAs weren’t involved in dirty doings..then I favor allowing them to transfer if the program gets probation. Would be a de-facto death penalty. But the NCAA has to be willing to actually punish violators rather than let the UNCs skate.

Florida head coach Dan Mullen is opening Spring Practices to fans I wonder if Paul Johnson should consider that for GT? IMO that might be an interesting thing to do.

Paul Johnson doing something for the fans? Maybe building a little excitement for the program? Sadly of course not.

Alex, I'll take the "things that you never thought you would hear a GT FB fan say" category for $500.

Impermissible benefit. Take away the title.

I mean it only took cutcliffe 10 years and 8 years of spending more than us to get there. Duke provides a nice case study of money in result out

actually, we should celebrate Duke's improvement. It demonstrates that with the right people in place at the coaching AND admin level along with institutional commitment (read $), a program is not "stuck in place" in some sort of FB caste system. Is Duke Bama? Of course not but they have a competitive program now and are no longer the sad sack of a program they have been during most of my lifetime. GT certainly can no longer take them for granted as we have seen over the last several years.

Alabama is looking at a 2 million dollar renovation of their football recruiting lounge.

I heard they're adding bathroom attendants who hand out brand new folded cloth towels each time somebody washes their hands and free Drakkar Noir.

I understand what you’re saying but Duke still sucks. They beat us this season because we quit. End of story. I am glad to see that most of the ACC is getting better because more top-level recruits won’t automatically think they want to go to the SEC.

Former Kansas State head football coach Jim Dickey died at the age of 84. He went 25-53-2 from 1978 to 1985 when he was fired after starting off 0-2. The highlight of his time at Kansas State was going 6-4-1 in 1982 and losing 14-3 to Wisconsin in the 1982 Independence Bowl.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Three football players are leaving Missouri

RS Freshman DB Jerod Alton
RS Sophomore DB TJ Warren
RS Junior WR Ray Wingo

I wonder if GT would be interested in any of those three players? GT could use DB depth and it would be nice to get another WR.

Has anyone read this article? I didn’t want to pay for the “premium” content but this is a topic that frequently arises on GT Swarm. Appears Auburn is trying to make an athlete-friendly curriculum. https://www.chronicle.com/article/Inside-Auburn-s-Secret/242569

ESPN play by play announcer Mike Patrick has retired. I remember him calling Jefferson-Pilot ACC Football games of the week in the mid 1980s-early 1990s.

Not sure if this has been mentioned....Charles Kelley is the new Safeties Coach at Tenn.
