He's improved. He had time to work on his game in the can. I played behind OJ once upon a time at Rivera. He made Judge Smails game look honest. Never seen a guy hit a better foot wedge.

NO! Because if Larry testifies it's certain to pass!

Thanks friend. Do you think there will be TP in Lucifer's outhouse?

How about anyone who has not been a university president and has had to manage a real instead of a not-for-profit budget?

THIS passes and there will be no 'players' except for those interested in after-school club sports.

The actual futures numbers have millions of dollars wagered on them every year. Like all lines this one is set to balance the books. Between the 8-4 prediction you see above and the 10+ win predictions you see above. For Sports Books and sports bettors, this is serious stuff.

No, not a diss. If you predict 9 or more wins find this line and bet it. I think 8.5 is essentially a balance the books line? I think looking at the schedule that 8.5 is certainly a reasonable line.

Great take. You take Bama, I'll match you with the Ohio State 'fans.' How do you think Utah is going to do in The Swamp. It will be very interesting to see what time this game kicks off? If its the CBS Game of the Week a 3:30 KO will not be easy on the Utes.

You are addressing economics. I doubt that any person in the legislature who votes for this senseless piece of junk can add 2 and 2 and have the result = 4? I certainly hope ADs and college/university leaders show up at hearings on this proposed legislation to voice exactly what you have pointed out. THIS passes, kiss scholarship varsity sports good bye in CA and say hello to club sports. Ergo, kiss the Pac-12 goodbye as a P5 conference.

As private schools, I believe Stanford and USC can go their own way?

Transfer Portal Update - The NCAA reports that in 2020-2021season, 59% of the FBS players on scholarship who entered the portal found a new home and a new scholarship. I hope these numbers are being shared with the players?

As Pac-12 guru Jon Wilner of the Mercury News has pointed out, if the Pac-12 wants to improve its recruiting it has to improve in the NFL Draft. 1st Round - 2019-2021 - SEC - 36 B1G - 19 ACC - 16 Pac-12 - 9 B12 - 8 In the middle of the last decade the Pac-12 had 9 guys taken in the 1st round in a single draft. Tonight does not bode all that well but it does bode better. 4 players should go in the 1st round and it could be 5? Tonight does bode well for UGA that could have 5 and even 6 guys go in the 1st round! Heck of a D Dan was coaching.

A Mercury News reporter who covers the 49ers has KT going #1 tonight!

The UCLA Athletic Department is $60M in the red. Direct pay for play? Mandated in a certain amount? Absurd. But what's new?

Pat Forde from SI said on Sirius today that the Transition Committee has begun to circulate its idea for how to proceed free of the NCAA but for the NCAA holding tournament events for all sports other than P5/G5 CFB.

Salary $2.7M; bonus (for WHAT I have no idea) earned Mark $2.9M last year. BTW, Shultz' name has also been mentioned for the B12 commissioner job.

The D best be ready to go? UGA O has its championship winning QB back and 6 other starters on O, including some darn good OL guys. BYU, even with losing an all time RB returns 88% of its 2021 production on O. This includes QB Jaren Hall who missed 3 games due to injury but still finished with 2583 passing yards, 64% completion rate and 20 TDs. He also had 62 carries for 307 yards and 3 TDs. (In CFB this of course includes yardage lost on sacks.) I wonder if there was ever another HC who faced such a daunting OOC schedule in his first season?

1935. Last time A+M finished #1 in CFB. Jimbo without a Jameis? Playing in the SEC west? Good luck. No more delusional fans than A+M and UT fans.

At least now a lot of this 'stuff' is above the table. Man, the NCAA should have settled the O'Bannon and Alston cases, seen 'this' coming from a mile way and adopted NIL with reasonable restrictions. Not a cap on the money that a player can make off of NIL but rules against NIL be used as a recruiting and portal inducement.

Now THAT's some kind of southern! Beautiful countryside, beautiful.

A new world, no doubt. But more a new money-bag' world than a brave one?

Penalty? Buy a pit bull and keep him in the backyard?

Great take. The UGA D only returns 4 starters but it will be far better than the shaky D Ohio State put on the field all season long in 2021. Better players and better coached. UGA lost Lanning but not Kirby. Utah loses Lloyd but will likely be better with the return of Rising as the starting QB from day 1. Not easy going on the road for 5 conference games.

Agree with Gusduck. Find a guy who can kick the ball out of the end zone, is reliable on FG tries and can make a FG from 50 yards out. Don't know if he's any good but I see that former USC kicker Peter Morton is in the portal? It's just the Spring game but Lewis looked more like the 2020 and 2021 late season Lewis than he did when he was solid early in 2021.
