Some posts have brought up legal contracts. This will present a problem for some. My birthday is in the summer. I graduated, as did one of daughters, at 17. This will happen to some players and they will not be able to sign. Schools won't want to wait until late July to offer scholarships.
I am not so sure. It does seem that an upstart with a better record often gets left out to a team with a history of going to the tournament. This usually happens when a major upset occurs in a conference tournament. In this case (say a 12-13 season record) it gets the automatic bid, and the...
I have said this on another thread. What happens if the Alabama or Texas #1 QB goes down in practice.
Or for that matter during the first game.
The rule should be written that if your QB goes down you are out of the playoffs, because that is now the de facto criteria.
This will not go away...
Well, it is obvious that FSU got stiffed because of one injury. I was watching so talking heads on ESPN. One made comment. Florida is out because committee thinks without the QB they are not one of the best teams. If that is the case the 4 teams in playoff might as well be announced at the...
You mentioned "millions". Was that in aggregate or just a few players? Hard to believe that Pipeline Jerky is paying a million dollars to all members of the Nebraska OL. If so, they are wasting their money. None, other than most zealous of Nebraska fans know the names of the linemen.
I would...
Not sure the 3rd string offensive guard or the long snapper is getting millions. Caleb Williams is getting big bucks, but few can name the center who actually touches the ball more than him in a game, same for Shedur Sanders. (Could that have something to do with increased number sacks which...
This is what I was hoping for. Definitely not an FSU fan but they are undefeated. What do they say to FSU if they pick Alabama or Georgia,
"Yes, you did win every, you are in Power 5 conference, but on page 5587 it states if you have an injury to an important Player you don't get into playoff...
The president of the NCAA said he feels bad for James Madison, but rules are rules. Unless of course you are a big-time program and then "not so much".
They will have to replace the coach's son and Hunter though. If he cuts a lot of players and replaces them with new transfers, he'll have a hard time requiting at the high school level.
We will see how the transfer portal works out in a few years. Will a coach that relies on the portal be able to recruit. Maybe they won't need to recruit.
Will high school recruits eventually realize that a coach who extensively uses the portal will replace them in a heartbeat with a...
Can't remember which coach said this (I think Dean Smith or Roy Williams) about college basketball coaches.
To paraphrase, "Coach calls a time out and sets a play, such as Point Guard passes to Forward passes to Center, if Center is covered Forward passes back to Point Guard, at which point...
Question for All. The LSU QB was ruled to have his arm going forward so it was not a fumble but rather a forward pass. Here is question. The ball hit his lineman, why not illegal touching by an ineligible receiver, and/or the ball was going down out of his hand, there was no receiver in the...
Interesting. We always hear about how it is hard to get out of the "hood" due to poor schools and crime. But here she is, at student at LSU about to make a lot of money, and if she were to get hurt and not be able to play she would have a college degree to build upon. I have always heard that...
It is interesting how private organizations sometimes set their rules (the WNBA). She can vote, drink, and if she was actually good enough, she could play on any other professional sports team. And then there is the fact that the NBA and the WNBA are connected.
Why would you call Purdue a trash university just because its basketball has problems in the tournament. The graduates of Purdue can compete with those of any in the country, especially those coming out with an engineering degree. It is a high-quality academic university just as all of the B10...
Why do teams whether losing or winning by big deficits (15 or more) with 1 minute left, leave their starters in the game. The winning teams risks an injury, and the losing team could at least let the bench players say they were in a tournament game. Coaches can be such jackasses.
