New Florida coach Jon Sumrall wonders whether Tim Tebow will leave the SEC Network to play ball for the Gators again? He was joking, I think?

Considering the following with the understanding that justices with a conflict are supposed to recuse themselves from the issue at hand. What a quaint idea.

An Alabama state court judge overruled long-standing NCAA eligibility rules and allowed a basketball player who has received compensation from a professional league to suit up for his beloved Crimson Tide basketball team.

In 2025, the good judge donated $100,000.00 to Tide athletics, but that's just peanuts compared to the real donors to Big Al, right?

In Tennessee, a state 'Judge' who is an unabashed fan of the Volunteers, granted an injunction that, if sustained, would allow Tennessee QB Joey Aguilar to play another season. By NCAA standards, Joey has played five seasons of college football, where a player used to have five years to compete for four years.

According to Joey, playing ball in Junior College shouldn't count because he couldn't make the money he's making now. For that matter, don't count the time Jowy spent playing for App State in the small-dough Little League G6.

Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss fouled up. Instead of finding a friendly state judge in Mississippi, Trinidad asked for one more year from the NCAA. His appeal was based on his having to sit out a year at Ferris State due to a lung condition.

NCAA: Peddle your papers elsewhere; there is not enough evidence of you having been incapacitated.

Trinidad is now weighing his options. Do I enter draft, or sue the NCAA in the friendly confines of state court? I do want to plant a face job on Kiffin in Week 3, but where can I make the most money?

Wetzel: Standing on the brink of anything-goes NCAA eligi...

By not controlling who is eligible, the NCAA is losing the ability to function as an organizing athletic body.

It is totally sickening what has happened to college football and basketball because lawsuits an judges run the show now. What can be done about it without being sued? That idea of 5 years to play 4 is looking pretty good now.

Pairing this article with the one about DAT still living in Eugene has my wheels turning...about a .2% chance, but how cool would that be?

I also am at the edge of the envelope.

Players being fairly compensated? I'm down.

But some of today's demands, as revealed on The Athletic: $1000 to $5000 for an official visit; control over the player's jersey number, even if a number has been retired; first-class travel for my folks and posse to home and away games, limo with a full bar if they live within driving distance of home games; a paid for 1st class apartment, and a car and driver at my beck and call; oh, I also want a luxury vehicle and reserved parking for practice and class; a low exit fee payment in case Miami, LSU, Ole Miss, and other good-hearted folks who understand my truw value, want to up my deal after I've signed what some fools without the benefit of my counsel, would call a contract? 😒

CFB has completed a 180. Schools used to be in charge, now? The NCAA? Chip and OBD were dinged by the NCAA for using 'runners', a/k/a 'agents,' to assist with recruiting.

Like the big boys in the NFL, CFB billionaires decide to get along or more folks will be turned off and sign off.

Colleges and universities are paying athletes directly; how about calling them what they are, 'employees' and negotiating rules that even the scu..... 🤬 will have to follow?

Or, cut to the chase and have a 32-team CFB Super League. All good for OBD, but what about the left behind CFB fans?

On The Other Hand, CFB attendance and the number of folks who are remotely watching CFB football and basketball continue to increase.

And the number of 'Us' who watched college sports back in the day? Well, we continue to decrease.

I'm mad as hell, and oh well, Beat Boise!

Max comp for a college player should be set at $250,000 per year-all other profits should be donated for academics which college is REALLY all about.
