COLLEGE FOOTBALL 2024-2025

I do feel bad for Allar, losing a game like that will be tough to overcome. He checked over to #44, must've thought he was too covered to throw over to and threw erroneously to the middle. Lets be honest that defender made a heck of a play on the ball. Lots of karma both ways in the game. ND got screwed out of a interception, but a PSU defender fell down the next ND drive and they scored. In the end, ND's defense finally secured an interception and PSU's defense had to rise to the occasion. Great ball game. I dont know what the opening o/u is for a match-up against either team, but if ND can sustain a running game they will make things challenging.
It was actually a terrible route by his receiver. Given Alar had no where else to go with the ball, the receiver needed to run a better route.
 
Article focuses on Ohio State but it really takes a look on the changing landscape of college athletics and compensation. Some really interesting stuff going into effect this summer regarding school revenue sharing with athletes and finally some reigning in on NIL. On the revenue sharing: schools will be able to share up to $20.5m with all their athletes. On NIL: NIL deals over $600 will have to go through and be approved by a new NCAA clearinghouse ran by Deloitte.

 
The NCAA just can't help itself. Since there are no SEC teams in the Championship game let's put SEC officials in there to keep an SEC influence present.

OSU/ND Game has SEC Officials
The SEC was literally the only option. Big 12 and ACC crews did the semifinals, which eliminated them from the final. Ohio State, being a Big Ten school, eliminates the Big Ten.

This crew did the Penn St-Boise st game. 23 penalties were called.

Why is the BIG 12 and ACC eliminated? Is there a rule that states if you do the semis you can't do the final? There are other conferences out there as well.
 
AFCA head coaches are proposing a transfer portal window rule change. 10 day window after bowl games in Jan and eliminating the spring window*.

After bowl games basically puts this on a Jan 21 through the end of the month timeframe which I’m not really sure is feasible if we’re going to continue with the “student” part of student athlete given add/drop timeframe is usually only 2-3 weeks after the start of the semester. In this case, that would fall halfway through the proposed 10 day window, assuming it starts the day after the natty.

*does not apply to grad transfers.

There should only be 1, and it should be in May, IMO. Kids need to stay with their team until after spring ball.

Why would you stay through spring ball if you don’t want to be there? Does a regular student stay at a school that they don’t want to be at?

In my humble opinion, I don't see why the transfer window isn't shortened to the day after the national title until the week of National Signing Day. Players will opt out of bowls still, but it sort of acts like a free agency period. Transfers and incoming freshmen possibly sign on the same day. In this case, you couldn't announce your intent to transfer until 1/21 and would have to be commited by 2/8 (national signing day is 2/5). I disagree with spring transfers. This allows schools to know how many scholarships are available. I'm probably ignorant on how things work now, but one transfer window in the winter is what I 'd be in favor of.

Spring semester has already started by then. You can’t push it that late. Spring makes the most sense.
 
What a farce.

Deion Sanders recently reflected on the changing landscape of college athletics and how it has impacted the experience of players like Travis Hunter and his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, while at Colorado. Speaking candidly on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Coach Prime admitted that he couldn’t recall Hunter or Shedeur ever stepping foot in a classroom during their time with the Buffaloes.


"Ain't none of them on campus because things have changed," Sanders said. "Everybody is taking classes online and they graduate. Shedeur has never taken a class on campus in his whole college career. Shilo may have at South Carolina but I don't remember Travis ever being on campus as well. So they missed a whole part of the collegiate experience. But to each his own."



 
Interesting…

Means nothing. As the article states:

However, the document is not a regulation but only guidance.

It's in response to the report that colleges plan to this:

As part of the NCAA and power conferences’ landmark House settlement agreement, schools are permitted starting July 1 to distribute at least $20.5 million to athletes annually in an escalating, capped pay system. Most schools are determining their distribution method based on a sport’s revenue generation and/or the back-damage distribution method announced by the House plaintiff lawyers.

In either case, football and men’s basketball are poised to receive a significant amount of the revenue. According to those with knowledge of the subject, multiple schools are planning to deliver as much as 85% of the $20.5 million revenue pool to their football roster — clearly a violation of the federal Title IX guidance issued Thursday.


It will never be implemented
 
More interesting news:

Bill Belichick has not yet signed his contract with the University of North Carolina, which is making school officials wonder if he's planning a departure for the NFL, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. However, UNC general manager Mike Lombardi has once again shot down any rumblings of Belichick bolting Chapel Hill for the NFL.

Probably not, but the fact that it’s even a possibility is ridiculous.

Title IX in its entirety should be dissolved.

Title IX served its purpose when it was established, when all of the money went to men's programs. But, as in any such program, zealots took it too far. Things are much better now than they were when Title IX was passed,
 
The collectives paying these players for each school is of course separate from this money, which is also the main portion of money these football players get.
 
Rob Ryan returns to college football coaching.

Rob Ryan, a Super Bowl-winning coach with 35 years of experience, has been named USC's assistant head coach for defense/linebackers coach, head coach Lincoln Riley announced today (Jan. 18).

"Rob Ryan is one of the most accomplished defensive coaches in NFL history," said Riley. "With over two decades of NFL experience, he will immediately bolster our staff as we continue our climb here at USC. He has coached some of the NFL's top players, including numerous Hall of Famers and All-Pro selections. We're thrilled to welcome Coach Ryan and his family to our program."

As long as they call a hold on a osu opponent at long last, all will be good
