As others have stated, he likely wouldn't be starting anyway, especially joining a team so late. So from the NFL's perspective, there isn't some big incentive to get him in the league ASAP, even if he is a big talent (not sure about that). It sets a pretty dangerous precedent to let him in and...

In principle, this seems like a good change. I was in favor of the "5 years to play 4", with no exceptions, but this is reasonably close enough. However, I'll believe the bolded when I see it. The "hardship waivers" were such a scam, and the NCAA has no backbone that how long is it going to take...

The way the rule is worded seems odd to me. If you haven't enrolled in school, what does it matter if you're 18 or 30? The rule now basically prohibits the Mark Crawfords of the world. I didn't think that was that big of an issue it needed resolving.

Dumb. I understand the "need" for this. But how they did Mariucci works much better.

You're surprised the Badgers are offering a white basketball player from MN?!?

From a Vikes perspective, at least he had the decency to get caught after the draft and almost all free agents have been signed already.

Surprised nobody has lost their marbles over Perich being an "honorable mention" on the list.

Does Oak St ramp fill up for games? If not, save 40 spots and send all clinic guests over there with a validated card so they don’t have to pay event rates. But of course that would involve athletics, parking, and M Health to cooperate and play nice together, which ain’t gonna happen.

What I wish they'd do is open C79 for tailgating (highlighted below) and figure out a place for clinic users to park somewhere else 7 days a year. They moved us over there for a year while they were installing the PV panels on the west bank lot. Still close to the stadium, but super easy in/out...

There's pro's and con's. They have these on the west bank lot we're in. I probably preferred it without them, for the sun. It does provide enough cover, however, that we pretty much only use our tent now when it's raining or cold and we want a heated space. The drive aisles don't have them (PV...

Seems like an odd way to spend money, IMO. Signing a legit third WR when you have other more glaring holes seems irresponsible.

You wearing socks with those flip flops?

Well that was an unimpressive draft. Maybe those other 31 teams are on to something with this GM idea.

Lewis Cine (1 career tackle) made Dimitrius Underwood (21 career tackles) look like an All Pro. I'll say the same thing about Banks as I did JJM - at the end of the day, if he's a successful player, it doesn't matter where they drafted him (as in "reaching" for him will be forgotten). However...
