    RandBall: An NIL 'salary cap' (and floor) for big-time college sports? What do you think?

    I don't see how an agreement between competitors to limit how much money their employees can get paid or make from sponsors would go over well with courts. If the NIL numbers we've seen around are anywhere close to true, I can't see a competitive floor working for public schools. I'm sure a lot...

    At least it's not on a baseball field

    CFP predictions

    Looking at the selection criteria they say they look to pick the best 4 teams, not the 4 teams most likely to win on a particular date. Florida State's injured QBs are part of the team. It doesn't say anything about excluding players with injuries. Even if this helps ratings in the short-term...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE, LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    10 minutes into the game and already playing to not get embarrassed instead of to win. I wonder why we're struggling with NIL. What company wouldn't want to sponsor that?

    Shama: Voices Need to Speak up for College Football Parity

    College football is a business. The Alabamas, Georgias, and Ohio States pull in much more money than the Minnesotas. If there was enough talent to go around it would make sense to balance things out but there's not anywhere close to enough talent to fill even the power 5 teams with solid...

    FOS has obtained audio of the heated exchange between Lane Kiffin and DT DeSanto Rollins after Rollins' 'mental health break.’ $40MM lawsuit

    I'd imagine most coaches would respond similarly if a player skipped practices and meetings due to an injury without staying in contact with coaches and medical staff. The way some people have reported it makes Kiffin look bad but this seems like a reasonable response.

    PJ has to be on the hot seat right ? (nevermind ive been told to accept being mediocre when were good enough to be mediocre)

    Every other team has the same rule. It's been around for two and a half years, more than long enough to take advantage of it. Some teams are using it to add star players, we used it to add a RB who can't hold onto the ball and a WR who keeps dropping the ball.

    Fleck would need to be involved in a major scandal to lose his job before next year.

    Good call to punt, we're in good shape after you add in the imaginary points for winning time of possession.

    The NCAA has opened an investigation into No. 2 Michigan over possible rule-breaking around in-person scouting of opponents

    Isn't punishing the accused without due process the standard in academia? Michigan themselves punished a student for much worse than what Harbaugh did while ignoring huge pieces of evidence and would have ruined his life if he didn't sue them and get them to drop their findings.

    Time to be honest with ourselves...

    Completely agree. Fleck is making 30% more this year than 2020, not counting his pay reduction due to the pandemic. Is he doing is job 30% better? By pretty much every metric 2019 was better than 2022, and 2023 doesn't look any better. Obviously the record was much better in 2019. Attendance was...

    First Place

    Odds are one of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska will go 3-1 in the remaining games so it's probably going to take 3-1 with a loss to Ohio State to win it. Excluding OSU the remaining 3 games are somewhere around tossups so roughly a 1 in 8 chance. Not great but with how tough our schedule is this...

    He called for a fair catch so the ball became dead once he recovered it.

    Doesn't matter but shouldn't that be 15 like when Nubin did it?

    That moved just as much as the one they took away from us earlier

    2 takeaways leading to us getting the ball inside field goal range have led to 0 first downs, 8 total yards, and 3 total points. What more does the defense need to do, get a takeaway on the goal line?

    What happened at halftime? Even with the drop and the overturned catch this looks like a completely different offense.
