You make a good point. I struggle to understand why a player who didn't play much at a school or two will somehow be a problem solver at Akron, or any school they transfer to. Maybe the Indiana coach has it right. He takes transfers from lower divisions who have enough on video tape playing time in actual games to understand how good they are.

I've always hated certain players. Now that the money is above table, I'm free to openly hate them.

Wordy? More like self absorbed.

Is his most recent, ,"I'm still in the transfer portal"?

Can't they show an ounce of original thought?

I'm blessed to have read this.

"I'm blessed to have such little respect or caring for my teammates and friends, none of which I really cares much about because I'm a narcissist, that I can take the easy way out and abandon them for another school." Go "F" yourselves a-holes.

I'm blessed.......

It's nauseating how self serious it all is.

"I'm entering the transfer portal" will suffice.

I'll say the same thing about the OHSAA that I used to say about the NCAA. If it went under, high schools would find a way to play ten games a season. Exactly what is this organization doing to cause it to go broke?

Maybe the playoffs should be abbreviated to eliminate crappy teams also in those spots. . Those other sports aren't as risky to injury and their playoffs aren't a disgusting money grab at the risk of youth health. Any other questions?

I agree. This would be an excellent hire for a program like uncc. It's an almost invisible program and to hire a D1 conference champion will make at least people around their conference pay attention. People around Charlotte still won't care. Uncc is going to expand their stadium in the coming years. They need to get good quickly.

All of the newcomers make me happy. Schools like OSU, USC, Alabama, Michigan, etc have been sitting around fat and happy for way too long. Unfortunately, a couple of those will be rewarded for being average by the end of the day as four of the playoffs spots are reserved for the popularity contest and potential viewership.

It's worse than I thought.

Subway sandwiches are more expensive.

When I look at the final MAC standings, I see five historically good programs and Buffalo. Miami and Ohio play today for the championship. All six are bowl eligible. I don't see the TL negativity impacting these programs. I would argue that the TP is down the list of problems Akron has. Institutional commitment is a much worse problem. It is THE problem. Akron can't solve the overall problem of the TP and it's something easy to blame because there is no control over it. Akron can control institutional commitment and fails solving it's #1 problem. How do they ever succeed if they can't solve the #1 problem dragging down the program? If an organization can't solve it's #1 problem, it will continually make meaningless changes (see new logo, new coaches every couple of years, etc) and never change. It's basically endlessly rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.

I've been away from Ohio for almost 20 years now. I didn't realize they moved to a "Participation Trophy" playoff system. Seven divisions? How many teams per region make it? I saw that some teams who make the playoffs only have a couple of wins? This is complete nonsense. If your team sucks to the point you can only get two wins, at the end of the year you should get a pat on the head and told to try harder the next season. These kids aren't going to be damaged for life because they didn't make the playoffs.

I'm not a fan of retreads let alone reretreads.

That does look much better. It was always such a dark place.

I can confirm that I am not. However, rumor has it Jim Grobe is. Seriously though, rumor has it Michigan has landed a huge QB prospect. It would be a good position for someone like him to take.

OSU is in the top 20 and does a horrible job spending the ocean of NIL money they have. Maybe it's the screwed up system nobody can figure out.

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?
