    Breaking down all of the changes to David Braun's 2026 coaching staff

    It's sort of funny that coaching staffs are expanding at a moment in time where all the pressure should be going the opposite direction, given what NIL money can do for a roster directly. Schools should want more of their money invested in on field talent than in future buyout commitments...

    Notre Dame-USC football program complete set (1926-2025) up for auction

    Trying to keep Cappy busy, huh?

    CFB breaks the bank with its first 40,000.000 dollar roster

    Fair counterpoint. I'm not convinced Indiana won't be the exception rather than the rule as we get more of a sample size to the NIL era. But there's no denying that team came from nothing. I recognize that this is an example from the 4-team playoff era rather than the expanded playoff era, but...

    CFB breaks the bank with its first 40,000.000 dollar roster

    Baz, I agree with you on a lot: It sucks that the "student" part of "student-athlete" is being devalued. It sucks that conferences are re-aligning around profit motives and TV contracts instead of maintaining traditional/regional rivalries. It sucks that players are more mercenary than ever, and...

    Article on SEC willing to “go alone”, quotes from Jim Phillips

    Maybe we could get some quirky brands to sponsor some of these post-season exhibitions? Perhaps some kind of Poulan gardening device coupled with an acknowledgement of our freedom from England? Or some sort of fried triangle party exhibition? A toaster pastry homage could be nice, too?

    Growing momentum for the 24-team playoff

    In theory, the point of a playoff is to ensure that the best team is determined on the field. Standing alone, I'm in favor of that. I just think the more the playoff expands to satisfy the TV gods, the less likely the best team is actually what emerges. Very glad the...

    B1G QB rankings

    I just think it's all speculation until we see Chiles in Kelly's system. Whether he looked great or terrible elsewhere, or flashed big play capability, or turned the ball over too much, or whatever else -- it's hard to say how much of that is intrinsic to him individually versus how much of it...

    No taxes on NIL earnings

    It's not that I disagree that there are more exciting places to visit, but I will say there are always hidden gems everywhere (as well as value in seeing as many corners of this world as one reasonably can). I lived in Mississippi for about a year and half due to work around late 2007 to early...

    CFB breaks the bank with its first 40,000.000 dollar roster

    It really just highlights the failings and greed of the NCAA to not set up a better system when they were still in position to do so. There could have been a different revenue sharing model, or at least some kind of a "player trust" set up to allow players to get their share but only after...

    Mississippi judge issues injunction, Ole Miss QB granted another year of eligibility

    I chucked at this initially, thinking it was a Bulldog alum nonetheless granting relief to the Rebels. But it seems like you just meant a state court judge, in Mississippi. Judge Whitwell, however, it would seem, got his law degree from Ole Miss.

    Al Netter moving up (2018 thread)

    Some would argue that Bajakian being hired out from under him was catching a break (if even getting a second chance in the B1G in the first place itself didn't count).

    OT: Washington Post layoffs

    Well, we agree on this much: If we didn't spend on ICE what Canada spends on its entire military, we'd be better off. If the argument really is that undocumented folk are leeching off of public aid, spending exponentially larger sums to try to claw that back seems like pretty short-sighted...

    Worst Super Bowl since…

    Depends on the QB. I find the punch-ability of a QB's dumb face is proportional to my desire for 350 lb. linemen to sit on him. :-P (I joke, of course.)
