    SEC Network host says Big Ten football is running a ‘Ponzi scheme’

    Really though, only grad students should care. No one in the real world, when looking to hire someone with a 4 year degree, is going to give a rat's whatever on if they took classes from a Nobel prize winning prof or an adjunct professor with just a few years experience.

    Seeding Changed for Upcoming Season

    Yeah, but I was responding to this comment of yours: I said if they buy they roster and end up with a top seed, it's no longer an upset. Now you're talking about something different, which is mid majors buying their way along. It's been a nice chat, but I don't see the point in continuing...

    Would it really be an upset then? People watching March Madness would tune in to see the UW Green Bay team upset some #3 or #4 seed, but if they (UW GB) had a booster buy them a bunch of talent they'd enter as a top seed and their victories wouldn't be the "little guy" upsets you initially...

    This feels like we're just rehashing. I made the suggestion to separate, etc. and we just looped back to the beginning.

    The Athletic: Inside Iowa’s multimillion-dollar moves to end the jokes and start a new era on offense

    It's going to take a lot more than an FCS QB and a new OC to make THAT big of a leap. Correct the flaw? Sure. Strength? Nope.

    No, but I can see why you'd think that. I was talking from a broadcast perspective. They will care about the ratings. I'm passionate because I don't wanna see the top teams waste their time beating down weaklings while risking injury and watering down the whole process. If paying the players...

    Agree, give them their own playoffs like was done for FCS. Is any sober person saying that? "Entertainment" is the point of it all, isn't it? The networks didn't shell out all this money because deep down they are college football purists. Pro sports can do a playoff like you suggest where...

    After the Georgia/TCU bloodbath from not too long ago, I doubt TV is going to want to televise Georgia vs. Incarnate Word anytime soon. And why would anyone wanna watch it if they did? Levels lots of people don't care about. Easier to deal with blowouts if the only fans are the people in the...

    Seeding Changed for Upcoming Season

    Would you settle for excluding them from the CFP but allowing P4 teams to schedule a game against them, kind of like how it was with FCS teams during the BCS era? You could play one per year and they got the nice payday from it, but everyone knew they weren't competing for the same post season...

    Denver Broncos have a view on transfers

    I think this is what you were alluding to that I asked about earlier. Yeah, it can get interesting. When you already made millions it might be tougher to humble yourself. And some of these multiple transfers...that means for most of college you always had someone telling you they were...

    Denver Broncos have a view on transfers

    Yes you did. Wrong. Quotes from coach, a player, and the GM.

    Seeding Changed for Upcoming Season

    I think I get where you're coming from, but I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion. It's not that Alabama will be more entertaining than a G5 team, it's more so that people like me perceive it as inviting minor league teams to the MLB playoffs. Only the big dogs should get to compete...

    While true that they will eventually get curb-stomped, in the meantime they are taking the bye away from a team that is truly top 4 but had to step aside for Boise State.

    Big Ten trojan horse lures SEC toward lame College Football Playoff format

    Yeah, as much of an SEC fan as I have been, eventually the conference will settle and we'll figure out who their versions of Purdue and Nebraska are, and then recruiting will fall off in those schools for a better shot at the playoff at a school in a different conference.

    Denver Broncos have a view on transfers

    "Fair point", but can you name a position group (outside of special teams) that doesn't have a lot of transfers? Heck, I think the article even states they drafted a transfer TE. Our RB room has been DT and transfers lately. Almost all of our WRs are transfers and probably 40% of our...

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    I think you're more than "half" agreeing with me. ;) In all good debating spirit, I think the prima donnas are the ones taking the $10M and wanting to just focus on football. But we'll see if we ever get one. And no, I'm not counting Koi - he didn't cost anywhere near $10M.

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    That's not what I meant. I was talking about time away from practice. PJ expects volunteer work and such, boosters expect more football stuff.

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    I think you're underestimating the amount of control players now have. I think everything you said is true. I also think it's unrealistic because no $10M player is going to want to deal with the "outside of football" responsibilities the players under PJ have.
