Notable alumni: Tim McGraw, Willie Robertson (Duck Dynasty), and Doug Pederson (Jaguars Head Coach) Not sure I've seen any of them promote ULM, and Willie Robertson actually promoted LSU more so in the show. Doesn't bode well when some pretty famous alumni don't promote the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) Yes he needs to ride off into the sunset. In all honesty he gave us our best years in FBS. IDK if he burned out, got tired, or just lost “it” in his last couple years here. I sincerely hope he enjoys retirement.

catdaddyp Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) NCAA just “temporarily” reversed course on the one time transfer rule, allowing multiple transfers. Welcome to free agency sans a salary cap. NCAA was a mess before, but now the courts have almost stripped them of authority. Many “amateur” athletes will make more at the college level than as a pro. I expect a pendulum swing to happen at some point, but it’s about to get wild. Edited December 13, 2023 by catdaddyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have letter to my father from one of his highschool classmates in the early 1950's. The friend was bemoaning the fact that the University of Tennessee (where he was an all american football player) basketball coach wanted him to play that sport too. The problem.was they only wanted to pay him half of what the football team was paying for his services. 🫠 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 In those '50's, football players played both ways except the QB and defensive sprcialist. They were also limited to 33 players on the travle squad. I can't rermember if there were any transfer rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 I'd be excited to watch the upper echelon P5 decide who the fat is among the P5s and trim it off. The Vandys, Boston Colleges, etc., of the world are gonna be joining us when the inevitable split occurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would get bumped off unless they wanted to bolt, which should be an option. The current P5 schools should go on their way. College football won't be able to withstand the current level of instability for many more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA1996MAENG Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 I have a general question about NCAA D1 sports (specifically football) and acadmeic rules. I heard several years ago from an Ohio State walk-on (who made the team) that scholarship D1 football players only take one actual academic class during fall semester and that the remainder of thier schedule is a multi-credit course called "Varsity athletics" (or something similar) to assure that they are full-time students. Then they would take a regular load of classes in the spring and summer sessions. Is there any truth to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College football won't be able to withstand the current level of instability for many more years. FSU and Clemson wants more of the cake in the ACC because they baked more of the cake. Ohio State, Michigan, and PSU are the Big Ten. Bama and Georgia are the SEC. In its current state, the Vandy's, Rutgers, Boston Colleges of the world are going to get axed so that Ohio State, Bama, Florida State, etc., can make more money. I just watched Chip Kelly on the Pat McAfee Show explain his idea. I thought it was more of a P5 divide, but it's actually a protection for all 130+ FBS DI programs. He talks about adopting a NFL-style format with multiple divisions of 8+ teams across the country. The divisions would rotate schedules like the NFL does, and TV rights would be sold for College Football, with branding for divisions such as Amazon, Nike, etc., for more revenue generation.
