    Bill requiring cash ticket option to enter

    I know, I just wish that some of us took a card around here.

    Bill requiring cash ticket option to enter

    Man, we only take cash, which is just as inconvenient for a lot of us. I can't remember the last time I went to an event without going to an ATM first.

    The Belichik Era

    Recruiting is partially on coaching, brand, location and university (and boo$ter$). Winning with those recruits is entirely on coaching.

    Mercy Rule reduced to 35 points

    I'm always one for more football, but if a team is up that much a lot of players lose interest and that's when injuries happen. Also if a team was that much better than the other then you have even more risk of injuries there too.

    Brevard Blue Devils 2025 Schedule

    The September 19 game "at" Franklin will actually be just a few miles further away at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School. That Franklin-Brevard trip was always my least favorite when I played, partially because it's so long and partially because Brevard was super tough. Charles Norman (I think I got...

    RPI

    I think a conference champion should get an autobid with no guarantee of seeding. The exception would be one-team conferences. I think you have to go RPI only there instead of giving them a playoff spot before the season starts. Somebody could make an argument about unfairness somewhere, but the...

    RPI

    If you don't have to schedule your conference members, then conferences truly are dead and everybody might as well be Notre Dame. I don't have any reason to support this thought but I would imagine the state would count it as a forfeit to duck your conference members.

    Will strength of schedule matter?

    The problem is that 8 isn't set in stone. They are capped at 64 schools, so it could grow to 9 classes too.

    RPI

    That's really good information footballstar_17. So this change will probably be majorly against a few but not kick anybody out of the playoffs. Some conference winners will have to go on the road though.

    RPI

    I don't disagree that the conference model does seem broken, but do also consider that some schools have a hard time finding opponents to play them at different times. I've always appreciated when Franklin was in a bigger conference because there were years where we would apparently have to add...

    Apparently nobody is. I appreciate getting what you can if you have potential, but I have a really hard time putting myself in the shoes of some of these kids wanting so much. Then again, nobody ever tried to ride me as their cash cow or tried to inflate my worth like that.

    What's your thought on number of playoff teams

    I feel like this is the best take. The nice thing is everyone can play the extra game, which is extra football (and hopefully revenue) for all. The only people i can see this would be an issue with are schools that have a hard time finding local opponents, which has been an issue with the SMC...

    New conferences finalized

    So glad we got the Mountain 8 instead of the monstrosity that was the hybrid M7 and Little MAC from draft 2. Nothing wrong with the extra competition, but 1 conference winner out of 11 when some 5A teams are the only 5A team in their conference doesn't seem right. Speaking of one team...
