Walker. He’s the biggest loss. Baron will not be missed with our depth there. He might have even seen his role reduced.

Majors. John told me that many on the roster were no where near SEC caliber players. He never named a single name but observing the situation left little doubt. Bill had let opposing coaches run roughshod over him in recruiting. He was and is a fine man but was a horrible recruiter. The team...

The iceberg Tennessee just ripped its hull from stern to aft.

Technically, he doesn’t have his second ring as of today, so you’re good on a technicality.

In today’s game superior QB play overcomes a lot of shortcomings. By design and as a result of multiple rules changes that have all favored the offense, the game has changed drastically from what it was jut 15 years ago. NFL teams were still resisting shorter, scrambling QBs. They were...

The problem with that is others are going to out pay you if you do that then you’re out of the game.

I think the problem with your suggestion is there is no limit on how many collectives can represent a program. Not only that, but if collectives agree on their own to limit payouts, that is collusion. That violates the antitrust laws. Also, individual athletes can sue any entity that establishes...

Haven’t been a fan of Holy Cross for 66 years and don’t plan on becoming one.

The bottom line is this. Tennessee will win their case if the NCAA allows it to go to court. Their best option would be to withdraw accusations and drop it. They won’t. The reason is they know this has to happen. Once Tennessee wins their case, the NCAA will be PERMANENTLY enjoined from...

Sorry to add common sense to the tin hat thread. I’ll do better next time. Charlie Baker is Nick Saban’s bitch. Better?

Beating the other conference champions won’t be that tough of a deal. Auto bids, while grossly unfair, only serves to help the 3-4 other SEC schools that make it into the playoffs because that first round game is going to be against a winner of a weak conference.

It will be interesting when the AG subpoenaes the NCAA’s emails and everyone gets to see just how hard Saban fought paying players. Now, if you think the NCAA will allow this, you’re delusional. They won’t let this get that far. It will also be interesting how involved the Georgia president...

I can assure you there will not be a bowl ban. The judge who denied the TRO today said the Plantiffs will prevail in their case.

This is long. If you don’t want to read a long piece on the likely outcomes of the TENNESSEE/VA vs NCAA battle, stop now. You’ve been warned. This is a fight long in the coming with the NCAA. I believe the NCAA may have had an unrealistic, albeit slim hope that Tennessee, fearing the dreaded...

Until he learned just how far behind Bama was financially.
