Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Why not just do 100 push ups, 100 squats, and run 10km a day?

The buildup is better for us older guys.
Besides, I would quit because I couldn’t do 100 push-ups today and I don’t like jogging.

I'm good with reducing the amount of scholarships football gives. Spread those scholarships to other sports

Doubt that….. football pays for all those other sports.

True, but less scholarships would make it more competitive and would allow that scholarship money to be allocated to other sports

 

[drvenner]

I've been waffling back and forth on that.

[drvenner]

I get that, but Miami won fine this year with him in the locker room. He’s be starting somewhere if he had the talent. Salter does so I don’t think it’s a fair comparison

Not sure why people are piling on him over that post. He's promoting himself based upon potential. If someone wants to pay him to use his NIL, good for him.

I would make every dollar that I could.

He also got drafted by the Redskins….one of the worse run organizations in pro football.

Through dogged effort, Snyder ripped that title away from Haslam.

Weaken the overall product that pays for those other sports. Kinda kicking the golden goose in the guts with a hobnail boot.

Portugal fans dressed as Native American Indians. Stop this match now and end this madness!!!

Don't clog the board with jokes like this.

That's fine I have no problem with kids promoting their names, but I do have a problem with a kid that's promoting his name when has been nothing but trouble since arriving. What he should do is stay off social media, because when the only thing we have to say about this kid is, he got in trouble with the police when he arrived, he posted some other tweet a while back that got some people heated, and now this? Come on.

The Valium wore off when I apparently didn’t shave well enough and the nurse lady had to fix that.

Same.

That’s not why they are more balanced…… in college basketball….. it is the one and done rule and also the 3 point line….. in college baseball….. it is the lack of scholarships that spreads the talent out…. You can only give out 11.5 scholarships…..a bigger playoff system may equal some things out but not sure how much.

Disagree. But that's OK.

The NCAA has increased the size of the field in college basketball numerous times since the first time in 1951. The reason is that it worked in expanding the game. Which is why March Madness came into existence. Look at the hundreds of teams that compete to get into the field.

The 3 point line was introduced in 1967 in the pros and become a thing with the ABA/NBA over time. The 3 point line did not even get introduced in college basketball until 1986, long after the tournament had been expanded successfully several times.

Before one and done it was zero and done. Moses Malone and LeBron as examples. College basketball kept right on growing and doing great.

Before the current football scholarships limits it was like 40 or more per year at some schools, which was decreased over the years. Cut it some more to 20 and watch what happens.

In college baseball there were no specific scholarships back when I played. Schools would give general athletic, academics, or combined scholarships in partial/full amounts. The CWS did not become what is now until a little over 20 years ago. It stayed 8 teams in various formats for over 50 years. Once they opened it up like college basketball it exploded with hundreds of colleges getting into it. Which came from expanding the CWS format.

Doing things as they always have been done and expecting different results will not produce a better sport in CFB. Protecting the same programs will continue to undermine it. Level the playing field for any college to invest into it with the same legitimate goal to winning it all as the NCAA's pets get now.

Baseball and Basketball. Enough said. Waiting on football.

You have random teams like Dallas Baptist, Wright State, Virginia playing for a chance, not Bama, Clemson, OSU, Oklahoma, etc. every damn year.

There is parity in those sports because they have significantly less talent on the whole. If all players were forced to stay for three years, the same 6 teams would be in the elite 8 every year in basketball too.

Not sure I would want to get Bama out of the playoff every year by gutting CFB of all of the talent.

Yeah, no.

We had the same amount talent as UK, Duke, etc. What? We lost in the first round with a veteran squad. UK didn't even make the tourney with their Alabama team like usual.

I’d rather swap that first one. Do 3k push ups 1k squats in 30 days.

We didn’t have a veteran squad….. our top two players were freshman…. Kentucky replaces players every season.

 

[peaygolf]

I'm offended by the Crimson Tide because it reminds too much of female monthly bodily movements

The "Packers" have to offend some people...............right?

 

[MrVolton]

Gave up trying to reply, Trippie. Don't know what happened, but I agree in general.

Which is why I am in favor of the 16 team playoff as my first choice. The build-up to the NC would be incredible as would the financial payout. The lesser seeded teams would be given a fair shot and would absolutely know what they had to do in the future to make it to the FF. Over the course of several seasons there would be enough participants involved that parity in recruiting would begin to break the stranglehold of the top 4-5 programs. All we have to do is look at college basketball and baseball to see how it would open things up. The talent is getting more balanced. You have to bring your A game every time or risk getting knocked out. Same could happen in CFB if they would go this route.

16 team playoff makes most sense by far. 10 spots reserved for the 10 conference champions and 6 at large bids, all seeded by ranking. No byes. Makes too much sense.

Lol…Braves. They suck because Catbone is probably a fan.

I cheer against all Georgia sports teams.
