People blame "the NCAA", but the NCAA is made up of the schools. The schools are just as complicit in the downfall (if you want to call it that) of the NCAA. By not forcing their organization to address the issues and/or the way that they have addressed them, the schools are to blame, IMO.

https://www.cfbdepth.com/tennessee-portal-tracker/ Not sure how to really understand this, or how they rate players, but it at least gives something more to talk about.

More than one thing can be true at once. OU certainly would love to get his son. But the TE position at OU has been horrible for the past several years. Finley was let go b/c he was unable to recruit and/or develop the guys who came in. An upgrade was desperately needed.

Not being critical of the OP question at all, but do we understand how crazy the question is? It's a legitimate question because of what CFB has become, but it is absolutely crazy that we have to be focused on BILLIONAIRES to ensure a successful program. It was bad enough that millionaires...

At Oklahoma, fans called it the Meerkat Offense.

Nebraska fired Bo Pelini with that kind of record. See what it got them. Be careful what we wish for. Josh has to make some improvements and he knows it. Hence, the Knowles hire. Nobody predicted that Nico was going to be as less-than-great as he turned out to be, nor that he would abandon...

Not sure all of their fans were upset about this. From what I have seen, many of them are more upset about being left out of the playoff and if this is what the team/school decided to do to protest, they are fine with it. Not all fans see it this way, of course, but enough to make a difference.

Exactly. If any of those people think that the same old way of doing things needs to continue, then they will get the same results that they have always gotten. Sometimes, stirring the pot is absolutely what is needed. Golesh seems like a guy who can turn the tide there, if people get out of...

Oklahoma is one of the schools that doesn't use student fees or school money to fund it's operations or facilities. The AD owes upwards of $200 million in bond money for facility upgrades, but is operating in the black each year. I believe that they actually give money to the school from their...

Especially after aTm collapsed like a house of cards in the playoff. Sarkisian got lucky last year and has reached his peak as a coach, IMO. He fired his DC a week or so ago, when defense hasn't been the problem for them. They had a couple of breakdowns late in the year, but that wouldn't be an...

I hate to hear this. Lives ruined that had nothing to do with it. I can't imagine what his wife and kids are going through. It's bad enough when it happens to nobodies, but to have it all play out in the media is just brutal.

The comments about JH really caring about winning as much as the fans crack me up. And him finally seeing what the fans see with the defense. I am glad he has such good support staff on the message boards. The guy would never have won a game without it. 🤣

He's a really good guy. His defenses at Oklahoma and usc left a lot to be desired. It may be because the Lincoln Riley offense is not a good type that supports defense side of the ball. JH is not Riley, thank God, but fast scoring offenses tend to wear their own defenses out if not game managed...

This season, and the losses particularly, need a solid evaluation. JH is a good enough coach that he's going to do that and work to fill the holes. He's not on a hot seat and shouldn't be. His work over the past 5 years is significantly better than anything previous. He just has to make good...

Kiffin reminded everyone that the coaches are certainly in it for themselves. So, is there any reason that players shouldn't be? Add to that coaches who "process" players on to other opportunities to make room for the incoming portaleers. Loyalty to the school is sadly a quaint and old...
