By that logic non-revenue athletes should not only not get scholarships, they should have to pay to participate in athletics.

The stay at home order was separate from closing schools. They will likely not reopen this year even after the stay at home order is lifted. I'm guessing they're going to tell teachers to prepare for distance learning next year with the hope of not doing it. To be blunt, there is only a...

If there's nobody here to measure it I can run a 4.1 40... trust me! I believe his strategy of not running at the combine to try to shave a tenth or two by pro day, but now they don't have any sort of formal measurement. I don't know what he could do to realistically convince people now...

It was used multiple times in the Bowl game. Once from 1st and 10 (which I'm also not a fan of), they ran it thrice in the series where they overturned 2 TD's and Seth threw the TD on 4th down to Witham. I'd be shocked to see it disappear next year. I also wouldn't be surprised to see someone...

XFL's timing couldn't have been worse. They were actually getting more viewers than expected, and even though the numbers were dropping, they were doing well against some of the competition (NBA, NASCAR, etc.). That said, a second season was always going to be a challenge for them, but the...

The one wrinkle I'd like to see is both Seth and Tanner in the backfield. Line Seth up as a running back next to Morgan. More of a legitimate passing threat but you also use Seth's running skills. Could still snap to Seth occasionally, plus either QB could pass it.

If they had the full schedule and it started in March, I can't imagine how few people would be at the NC games at TCF Bank Stadium. It's one thing to get bundled up for a game against Iowa, Wisconsin, tOSU or Nebraska, it's a completely different thing to get bundled up to go see Tennessee...

The problem is, what happens to all the kids who are relying on that scholarship? Not only for school, but room and board. I don't see that as an option. That said, scholarships themselves are kind of funny money. The school is paying itself for tuition, food, etc. Many of those costs aren't...

Reading this article, the way COVID-19 is mutating may not mean that a vaccine is ineffective. Think of other vaccines that have been around for decades even though those viruses also mutate. Obviously, the proof will be in the pudding, and it may turn out that it didn't work out the way they...

Everything I've read has said that NCAA doesn't get paid unless events happen and conference contracts are the same. So it would depend on each conference, whether or not they chose to insure. Definitely no P5 schools cut football, but I could definitely see a few other schools cutting...

Fox owns 51% of BTN, B1G owns 49%. But their TV coverage is also through ESPN/ABC. I'm sure they will get paid if there are games (fans or not), but I would guarantee they get nothing if there aren't games. I'm sure I read that CBS/TNT didn't have to pay the NCAA for the tourney since it...

I disagree. The Gophers finished in the top 10 last year. It isn't that hard to imagine them being unranked at the end of the season if they didn't get some of the breaks they got last year. Heck, they could have easily gone 0-3 in NC play last year without a few breaks. If the Gophers had...

Well, if you listen to some of the experts, they are saying it could be 12-18 months. So I don't think it's premature to start questioning it. I would hope the brass at the B1G and NCAA are coming up with different plans based on where we might be at.

It seems like this was a misinterpretation by Clemson's compliance team. I'm guessing they were trying to be conservative, especially since he's so recognizable and such a key component of the team. I don't blame them for being cautious, as the last thing you want to do is find out he'll be...

For most folks this whole thing is a day late dollar short even if they really feel this way. Most existing season ticket holders have already renewed their tickets (I believe Vikes are similar schedule to Gophers for renewal). Sure, a handful of people who would have bought season tickets for...

Technically Purdue's official mascot is the train, not Purdue Pete, which would be even more likely to kick someone's ass. Though the train and Gopher could end up being draws. I mean, you could just not stand on the rails for the train. Maybe eventually you could throw enough rocks at it to...

Keep in mind, the Gophers can only sign Cox if Dylan McGill is gray shirting and enrolling next winter and the Gophers aren't signing Spielman to a scholarship (or at all).

I think now you hear about them more. Back then, the only way you found out was if your team played someone or if it was a helmet school. Most random college football fans could not have said who the coach at Northwestern was, for example, let alone Dayton, and would have had no idea how long...

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he has the "meat and potatoes" of his degree done and simply needs filler to graduate, stuff he can easily take online. Whether he's coming here or not, I'd think he'd have to get some classes done this spring to stay eligible. Does open up an interesting...

The 2-minute time limit seems fine, but I honestly wonder how often it actually goes over that now. This feels like one of those things that will shave 5 seconds off the average game. Often times it is longer simply because they've gone to commercial now. The NFL has a similar time limit, and...
