That program is an absolute mess. Solid chance they go winless if they can’t beat Hawaii to kick off the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I'd run thru a wet toilet paper wall for this guy. All Bruins everywhere have got to be pumped. With his kind of motivation UCLA will easily finish in the top 16 out of the 16 members of the Big Ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 I understand there is an interesting series of articles in the Canton Repository about QBs. A recent one has been about MAC quarterbacks and the transfer portal. Discusses the past stability the MAC had with QBs in the form of Edelman, Frye, Roethlisber et al. There is a paywall so the link I have won't helpful. Maybe someone can do a better job than I can linking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section210Zip Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 The NCAA is looking at adding scholarships across sports, starting next year. Football would go to 105. The supposed pro's for doing this would be that it sets a hard cap on players. As we have heard, some teams have had "walk-ons" that actually getting paid to cover their scholarship cost. This would close that back door. I also imagine that the NCAA will spin this as a win against the amount of players in the transfer portal (3,800+) I'm worried that this hurts the G5 schools two ways. The trickle down of players. There will be 1,360 less boarder line players that will go to the G5 vs the P4. I heard a counter argument to this being kids want to play. The kid 3rd on the depth chart will still transfer to a G5 to get playing time. Maybe, but the P4 has more scholarships too, so who is to say they don't just transfer to another, maybe lower, P4 school. The other part of this is the increase in operating cost for schools. This isn't just a football increase so just the cost having sports is going up. They are saying the projected increase is by 3 to 7 million dollars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddyp Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) NCAA also did away with the limited amount of coaches on staff. Programs were getting around this to an extent with all the analyst roles, but now they can be on-field coaches. Many Power schools will be able to offer more money for “Assistant LB” type roles than G5 schools will for a LB coach (pick any position for comparison). Potentially more than coordinators as well, depending on the school. Edited July 25 by catdaddyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the SEC hasn’t decided if all 105 players will be on scholarship. My guess is it’ll be more than the current 85, but we’ll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoZip Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Here’s yet another bad thing about college football these days - screw tradition. It says Miami is opting out but not why. You’d have to assume it’s money (like everything else). Maybe Cincinnati can’t provide them the big payday that a Big 10 or SEC team could pay for one of their out of conference games? https://www.si.com/college/cincinnati/football/report-battle-for-the-victory-bell-rivalry-coming-to-an-end-01j3r96d99t2?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR15mPYNgxhgggPuhfE-aJyVWIA-eBQDNWnM9y2rPgydCoozVbZtNxRppr8_aem_7o2gE_jfBOd6DBw6Xf65cQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run, Miami can't keep up. It's better they do this now rather than wait too long. It's the smart play. It's similar to why Akron doesn't play home and home games with Youngstown State.

I don’t disagree but it’s just sad that the new era of college football is killing one of the oldest rivalries in the country. Who would have ever thought Ohio State and Oregon would be playing a conference game this year?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 We all understand why this is happening, but we don't have to agree with it. Everything good about college football can't always be measured in dollars and cents. The top 35 programs are doing all they can to ruin the game in their unquenchable thirst for more and more money. A champion from the Big Ten and SEC is not a national champion. Just the richest. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 (edited) Anybody know how the $1.2m per year for the naming rights compares to the InfoCision deal? Edit: Found it. $10m over 20 years starting in 2007(?). $500k per year. Yikes. Edited August 6 by Let'sGoZips94 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section210Zip Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Just listened to an interview of Lance Leipold. He mentioned that Rob Ianello is the GM and that lead to a bunch of questions about there being a GM in college football. That also means that they talk about ol'Rob Icoach for while. I couldn't stop throwing up at the mention of his name. Since misery loves company, I'm bring it up to all of you to get nauseous over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 NOOOOO! 😱 Stop the madness. In these days of mental health awareness you are close to getting a call from the police regarding the deliberate infliction of harm and duress on the U of Akron community. Talk about crimes against humanity! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 College football is having one helluva start.

I imagine New Mexico will be one of the better MWC teams in a few years. Not this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
