This happens so often that it shows an indifference to the Spring Game and to the fans.

B10 better form some kind of regional divisions again because no one is going to care about team #11 or lower. The old rules have to be brought back about transferring to end the chaos, and the NCAA has to go back into federal court to get a measure of sane governance back in its hands - all the...

Adding the PCC to our schedule is lunacy - only the wealthy will flourish (Ohio St., Michigan, Penn St.) It's a disaster for us. Money is all that counts now. An 18-team league with no divisions, stuffed with powerful teams from the West Coast. Lunacy. Chip is probably right as to a bowl under...

I remember when he was at Vanderbilt - I was living in Atlanta and watched every Vandy game I could because I was certain he was a coach of the future, though I thought he's stay in the SEC.

The 12-team playoff is a jerry-bult mess - 4 teams can skip the first round, conference champions get in ahead of higher rated teams, it creates a second season, and the Gophers, with PAC heavyweights now wrongly in the conference are unlikely to get near the playoffs. NIL is not on our side...

More craziness - will jack up costs into more $billions and lead to labor unions among players. This is what happens when federal judges mess up local governing bodies. The NCAA had it right for decades: full ride scholarships were pay enough.

What if AK is a big success at Rutgers? That will make the Gopher coaches look bad.

It's an unsustainable system - back to the Stone Age. The NCAA should sue for its previous authority and take it all the way to the Supreme Court, where they might get a better hearing considering the confusion and harm now from not having some overall authority with teeth.

He'll do better there and Rutgers will continue improvement.

Psychological counseling needed for Goopher fans to bring excitement to the issue of whether we beat out someone for 15th place or 16th of 18. having no divisions in the swollen conference remains a terrible idea. It can't last.

60,000 turned out to watch wunderbar QB Dylan Raiola complete 16 of 22 passes for 240 yards and two TDs. He's living up to the hype - definitely can throw the long ball accurately. The back-up QBs looked good, too. With an easier schedule, Huskers could win eight games this year. They benefited...

Nebraska will draw 80,000 for its spring game - and they have to buy tickets. We will draw zero and apparently not be on BTN. In the crazy situation college football is in today, you need every bit of exposure and publicity you can get (revolving door portal, poaching players with cash, etc.)...

Federal court decisions are further mucking up the NIL situation as far as the NCAA is concerned, but could the NCAA return to the one year sit-out for transfers? That would go a long way toward reducing the anarchy we see in college football today.

Atkinson's books are terrific. Take a look at the trilogy on the Pacific War by Ian Toll - amazing.

As PJ said re football: "It's like the pros, but with every player a free agent and no salary caps."

Nebraska draws 85,000 to its Spring Game, while we don't have one. The Spring Game was always a tonic for the most dedicated fans, but fans are becoming less important as revenues from TV contracts grow faster than ticket sales. Only Lou Holtz made a big deal out of Spring Games, pulling 40,000...

Will be a tough season - being in a conference with 18 teams and no divisions is a poor incentive for fans, maybe even for the team. None of the West Coast teams should be in the B10 - they should have worked out a separate conference relationship in which the Pac-12 was B10#2 and each team...

Paying students to pay will inevitably give birth to a union movement - and it has, at Dartmouth in basketball. This will make the situation even worse, if that is possible. In the '60s every B10 team except one won a football championship. That will never happen again.

Georgia and Alabama 1, 2. They will both be in the Big 24 by that time.

Cole finally gets to play, scores three touchdowns leading his team to a bowl win - that's the real story.
