Actually, the Supreme Court has issued the remedy, but nobody is following their instructions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association_v._Alston

I love the McCord story. He is an easy coast guy who didn't like living in Columbus. Not every school is for everyone so he left. Next stop is the NFL.

Is Lou Holtz still alive?

As many of you know, I have a relative in central Ohio well connected to the local high school football world and has ins at OSU. The rumor is Day wants out of Columbus and OSU wants him out just as bad. He badly wants to go back to the NF and to get out of the nonsense that has become college football. As it relates to college football, people are asking why didn't he do anything about the post game brawl. The answer is college football players are completely out of control and nobody would listen to him. If guys at Alabama stopped listening to Saban, Day doesn't stand a chance. Players are so out of control that later in the day Saturday, players still were planting flags and fighting about it. The transfer portal has made it such that you don't have to accept discipline from coaches.

In all seriousness about OSU losing, there is one truth..... OSU is spending far too much money on players and coaches to be getting the results they are getting. Ryan Day will get the blame, but he didn't miss two extremely easy FGs. Now that the money is above the table and in high volume, it's time sports fans put the blame on failure on players when they deserve it. There are 18-23 year olds playing in the NHL and MLB who take a lot of heat from fan and the media when they fail. It's time we treat college players like the pros they are. High level college football is no longer amateur. It's professional. Time for fans start acting like it.

Worse, you end up with a useless nobody like Kent.

If you're trying to go to a bowl game, every game counts. If you're trying to win the MAC, every game leading into the MAC schedule counts. Akron needs less of a hole to climb out of every year.

Lost two games by a total of 11 points mid season. Maybe better scheduling gets one more win. Maybe confidence and momentum from that one more win results in winning one more MAC game. Maybe Akron goes bowling. Lots of maybes, but they don't count as actual wins.

Are they having a lively debate about whether twelve or nine is the number between eleven and thirteen?

Jim Grobe partnering with our voluntary athletic director, KD, is our only hope.

We are looking around the corner, but have not turned. Around the corner is a tunnel. The tunnel has a light at the end. It's either a clear hole out of the tunnel or a train coming at us. The next few weeks will be instructive. If Joe stays and we do well next year with support from the University, I would call it turning the corner. If Joe leaves in the next few weeks, we face a coaching hiring decision without an AD in place and the machete of budget cuts ahead with not enough money to hire a decent coach. This could spell a coaching hire worse than iCoach. We are talking about Kent State level bad. That light at the end of the tunnel is a train at this point. Still think Joe should be fired?

I think I speak for a lot on this board when I say that I could not give a flying crap about this and would be just fine if all Zips fans didn't think about it anymore.

Tulane has 9 wins and has been good in recent years. They have historically been a horrendous program. If you think winning can't happen for sky, you are kidding yourself.

OSUs check bounced.

Even if ESPN breaks even, they need to fill their airways with something and the MAC was dumb enough to take the bait. In addition, ESPN uses that time to promote their lineup of programing that draws more viewers and advertising revenue.
