    Gophers leaders chime in on tenuous future of bowl games

    Bowl teams should be able to draft players from non bowl teams or opt outs like town team baseball. Fill in some holes left by players opting out. Also, conferences and the bowls shouldn't be afraid of conference matchups. With the conferences getting ever larger, why not match up a couple...

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    I think PJ is a very good manager of young men. There's been very little negative press surrounding the FB program. The GPA has been great. PJ would instantly have better teams at a brand school like Michigan that is attractive to recruits because of history, NIL, etc. There's no doubt he'd...

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    So, the argument is take any average to above average QB and drop him into an offense with all world cast around him and he is a Heisman candidate and so Michigan should target Fleck to get said average to above agree QB instead of getting a good QB through recruiting, portal etc? I get it now...

    Gophers leaders chime in on tenuous future of bowl games

    No one is forced to watch any particular game. Some enjoy watching Kennesaw State and Mobile Barbers College square off in a late December game. Eliminating the crap bowls doesn't make the Rate Bowl any more attractive.

    Max

    There's a reason he wasn't drafted. 32 NFL teams didn't want to use a pick on him. He might have a future in the NFL but he's done nothing on the field to prove it or reason for any team to grant him the patience to develop.

    McCarthy and Wentz also played behind the Vikings mishash lines this season. McCarthy has improved. Wentz made something from morning. Max might get better but he's not showing that he'll stick so far.

    All Things 2025 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    DIII schools get several hundred kids to pay to play sports instead of paying several hundred kids to play sports. That's property number one. Enrollment incentive.

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    ISUr is a bit of on oddball, both this season and as a playoff participant generally. Of it's 4 losses, one came to Oklahoma and the other a competitive game to NDSU. It beat three playoff teams, two of which were seeded in the playoffs ahead of it. It plays in the toughest conference in FCS...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    So the theory would anti-trust. But anti-trust doesn't prohibit freedom of association, only unreasonable restraint of trade. If a group of conferences decides they are forming their own post season tournament, it doesn't prohibit the remaining conferences to do likewise. It would be...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    But what's the theory? Is there a contractual obligation that certain conferences have to the others? I don't see it. The NCAA creates the classification but does not control the postseason. Is it an antitrust issue? If so, why doesn't the same apply to conference affiliation? Or...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    Is "better" the subject? Like PJ's change your best? I don't get what sequence the SEC schools are part of though.

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    What's the legal theory or cause of action? I think the reality is that there are truly only a few teams that are real contenders and the gap between those teams and other highly ranked teams is pretty wide no matter what conference they play in. I used to suggest in an FCS forum that you...
