It often depends on how much they knew and when. It's one thing to know of a verbal accusation, but it's another thing once formally charged.

Nix only drawback is when the moment is too intimidating for him he feels rushed and his technique really falls apart. He has shown a lot of improvement in that area, but it still came out a couple of games for little stretches his senior year. So the big question is the NFL going to be too intimidating for him or will he be able to mentally adjust and maintain his confidence?

Oooo. Eligibility limits. What gives the NCAA the right to restrict someone in college from making NIL money by banning them from sports after a predetermined period of time? Sounds like another antitrust issue. I guess that one will wait until 2025 maybe.

Yeah, but odds are, if you are picking 1-4 your QB sucks and you need a new one. lol.

I think it is a common misconception by those that don't care for track and field that it is simply a genetics competition, and there isn't much you can do to make yourself better. I was was already full grown my senior year of high school having done track for 4 years I never made the state meet in my jumping event at the 1-2A levels. But I walked on in college and ended up finishing 2nd in the Northwest region in NAIA nearly qualifying for the national meet my senior year. I wasn't a late bloomer but I trained at an Olympic level in college, to maximize the potential of my genes. That is why track is still a sport, and people don't just do one meet and retire saying I guess that's how good I'll ever be. Athletic ability is not a fixed value, strength endurance and speed can all be improved through hard and appropriate training just like any skill can be. So the speed coach working with strength and conditioning can absolutely impact a teams athletic ability on the field.

If the PAC 2 schools we really wise enough to see what is going on, they would take the windfall from the PAC12 collapse and set it up as an endowment to help fund athletics for decades. I fear they will squander it trying to make themselves relevant now.

4 Defensive starters were responsible for 70% of our production?! Imagine if the new 7 could actually pull their weight how good would we be? I think it speaks to how innefective out DL was at generating sacks and tackles. Maybe it's our scheme to have them hog bodies and clog lanes rather than go after the ball.

What is this? Being voted on by media only requires one factor: eye balls. University presidents: "Academic Prowessed" 50 factors weighted in stupid ways to get the answers you want is all this article is. Thanks for your OPINION Tony, but don't try to spin it as facts.

I find it bizarre Michigan is the standard for anyone let alone 3 teams. It's irrational to define success against the option that has changed the most. Michigan needs to be completely redefined based on how they do in every game this season. Then people can start comparing to them again.

The only close probability for OSU to lose is against us. Outside of that, any loss would be a massive upset.

The odds of OSU finishing 3rd or lower in the BIG10 has to be less than 5%. Then multiple that times the odds Oregon is in the top 2 and multiply that by the odds USC is in the top 2 and you get "slightly more probable than impossible, or about a 1% chance.

Interesting point. Their likely were chemistry issues, maybe even with some of the areas of teaching techniques that weren't what Lanning and Stein wanted him to focus on. One thing I really loved about Locklyn is his players almost never fumbled. That is not easy to achieve.

I'm doubtful Whittington will follow Locklyn this time given the stable of RBs already there, but you never know. Any current RBs could hit the portal given the coaching change, so we'll have to keep our figures crossed everyone stays.

Com'on. Settlements are just legal decisions minus court related lawyer fees and inability to pay. If they sued and took us 10 to court they would have won.

It's been a unique American thing that our college football subsidizes so much our national Olympic program. Other countries' governments have to pay for that. Perhaps you could find correlation between college football revenues and US medals won. For the summer games at least.

Is there another portal window in the late summer before the season?

I don't watch the regular season. Is there anybody on our team beside Cuisinart and Dante that can score a field goal? Anybody? I'm just waiting for Creighton to pop a couple 3s and put the game out of reach.

If Dana is a great coach, he pulled him off to the side after the celebration and said "Don't kid yourself, you can and need to play like this every game going forward, because this is what you are capable of every time you step on the floor."

Pate says we will know the fate of the ACC before the season starts...not too long of a wait.

I wonder what the #1 is ...shocking! Not. Here us what they said about UW VS UM: Both teams will look significantly different since the last meeting in January, including two new head coaches and several new starters on both two-deeps. I didn't know 20-30ish = several. UM put almost 20 kids in the draft. UW has only one returning starter. And that is before getting into the two deeps. Sounds like an order of magnitude level of denial or incompetence on the part of the writer.

If Jedd Fisch wasn't on a layover before, he is now.

The cleanest answer in all this is FSU & Clemson pay the exit fee and cancel existing media rights, then ESPN uses that as grounds to renegotiate the contract with the ACC. The exit fees mask the pain in the short term from the renegotiated contract for those in the ACC that chose to stay. If the rats start to scatter during contract renegotiation it may very well be a pac 2 redo as Fox and ESPN feed on the carcass with scraps going to G5 B12 will be the last one to go. Then the tough work starts of making a new division where the questionable value teams of the legacy B1G and SEC get the boot.

Competition comes in many forms. Let's face it. OSU and WSU finally won something. And if Pac 12 leadership supported by outgoing school presidents was dumb enough to set a bad legal precedent, then they deserve to lose....and by logic, OSU and WSU deserve to win. Let's tip the cap to them and move on like everything else. Judging by the new CFP contract arrangement, ex p12 schools beat them this time. and the pac 2 may never win this type of competition again.

Penn St. put higher than Texas too. This writer is a major LEGACY B1G homer. The tune will change once once we start beating down the B1G teams. Not only will they need to pay attention to us for real, they will want to say how awesome we are to maximize the value of their losses as "good losses." I mean you can't ignore or claim a team sucks if they beat you down.

Noah Whittington is practicing doing kick return drills which is a great sign. He should be fully ready to go by the season.
