    NIL Bill Working Through Congress

    I have said on this Board many times that there is no way to really solve the NIL/transfer/spending gap problems that exists in college football absent Congress. Well, a ray of sunshine. Congress is voting on the bill today. Likely it passes and then they start haggling with the Senate. It...

    More Nebbie Dysfunction

    Saw they just fired their DC. Its hard to build stability and culture when you burn through multiple coordinators on both sides of the ball, as well as position coaches, all in less than three seasons. Giving Rhule that extension is looking worse by the day.

    Good Article on Colorado and the Economic Realties of the New Age of CFB

    Iowa is not mentioned in this article, but it provides some good insights about the haves and the have nots in major college football. It seems that a lot of schools, especially those outside the SEC and Big10, are having to borrow substantial dollars from the school's general funds just to...

    Predictions for Albany

    Alright boys, season is finally here. Let's start some prognosticating and discussions! A game like this seems like a sleeper. Pretty weak opponent, even by cupcake standards. But, its the first game and with a new QB and second year of a real offensive system, I am excited to see how Gron...

    Michigan Sign Stealing Punishment

    The NCAA is announcing the punishments tomorrow. Let's get a pool going, what do they get? I will go with Harbaugh and Stallions being Show-Caused, that is a no-brainer. Sherron gets 4 games Two-year Probation Fine The '23 Natty stands, however. Thoughts?????

    Revenue Sharing is Officially Here

    For those of you focusing on Summer fun rather than ESPN, the House settlement was given final approval. Schools will now be paying kids directly, and at least in theory, the classic collective model that most major schools have developed in the last two years will go away. All NIL deals over...

    HOF removes 60% win threshold for HCs

    Surprised the article does not mention KF as he is right near that line and is the most tenured coach in college football. With this change, I think KF is now a shoe in for the HOF when he hangs them up...

    Tennessee QB Controversy

    I applaud Tennessee's coach for not being held hostage by one star player. I guess hold outs are the next unfortunate change to college football. :( I love that Tennessee sent him packing rather than give into a Me First player. Interesting, listening to ESPN this morning, they reported that...

    Fran's Ejection was Poetry

    You will never convince me that Fran's ejection was not purposeful. It was Norman Dale in Hoosiers ("you got pigeon shit in your eyes"), but for a different purpose. Fran knew he was gone at the end of the year. He also knew the game was slipping away and that Illinois just had better horses...

    OT: Flying Tush Push

    Slow day. I was thinking of how absurd the tush push as an NFL play. It used to be illegal (remember Reggie Bush and USC) and I suspect the rule gets changed again because Philly is too damn good at it. But, how about this. You put your smallest guy at QB, like a small slot reciever...

    Playoff Expansion and Play-in Games

    This looks like it has real momentum. The Big10 and the SEC would have 4 playin games on what is normally Conference Championship weekend, guaranteeing each conference gets 4 teams into the playoffs. The Little 12 and ACC would get two and there would be two at-large bids. So, last season...

    OT: Illinois Jersey Retirement Snafu

    So, I suspect most of you saw the gaffe where Illinois hung this kid's jersey upside down for the unveiling ceremony. Too good. Made me chuckle, but digging deeper, maybe the universe was speaking. A few thoughts: First, this was a number retirement. Meaning this kid was so important to...

    The Time to Incorporate Relegation into College Football has Come

    So, I see three obvious, but solvable, problems with college football: 1. There are too many teams. They can't play each other enough to get to a merits based playoff system like the NFL has, so we have to rely upon a group of humans rather than play on the field. Committees and polls are...

    Explain to me Michigan being ranked and Iowa not

    This is mostly rhetorical because I know how the word works. But compare Iowa and Michigan this year: Two non-con scrub games, one of which Michigan struggled with. Iowa took care of business in both. Both took a beat down by a Top 5 team, but Michigan got drubbed in the Big House. Iowa in...

    Predictions for Minny?

    I feel like the D, especially the secondary, has been really exposed the last couple weeks. Mostly there have been mental and technique breakdowns. But, there is no one better at plugging that specific hole than Phil Parker. I expect a tighter performance from the D. The offense should be...
