My understanding is that NIL will eventually require players to play in all games.
Marshall opts out of Independence Bowl because of transfers.

Can’t pay players for on field performance so the “pay back their NIL for sitting out” isn’t ever going to happen until that rule is changed (and it shouldn’t be).

I would say eliminate maybe half of them. We are so out of touch today in college sports. Bowl games were intended to be:
- a reward for a good season
- a last chance for a senior to play his last football game
- alumni to go to a warm weather site and support the team.
They say you reap what you sew. Well, this is becoming a great example. Because there was a scant few college athletes who "reportedly" had little spending money (what regular college kid has alot of money) but we've now turned this into getting a D1 scholarship for basketball or football into winning the lottery for kids who have no idea how to handle it.
It's been historically documented how these child TV stars mature in life after making it big as a child. We're headed down the same path with these college athletes.

You don't get a vote. Those putting billions of dollars into the gambling industry get the votes that keep these bowl games going. I don't know if the average gambler studies the teams or not. I suppose it's no different than most people's foray into the stock market. "ooh, pretty colors."

I actually do get a vote. And I elect to not gamble on games. But better yet, I would never bet on games where players are opting out and many could care less. I loved seeing a team pull out because there were so many players opting out. That is step 1. Hopefully as the years go by, more and more will be in the same boat and then they might get rid of the meaningless games. I will also say, that we all know the ratings for almost all of the non Bowl games will suck.

Nobody from Michigan gets a vote. Cheating is in Michigan's DNA. They are not allowed to gamble.

Still can't handle that the Michigan Wolverines are just a better prepared, more physical football team than the "World Famous Charmin Soft suckeyes". You know it, but you are having a hard time dealing with it. Instead of looking into the charmin soft suckeye mirror at your clown coaches, it's easier to make excuses. So just keep the excuses coming. It's funny how you know Michigan is just going to run it right down your throats, and they do exactly that every year. Maybe you need more physical players and a coach that has a clue how to stop a running game.

Well wet charmin gets hard as a rock, I guess we will see this weekend. Don't compare the Wolverines to the Buckeyes.
Good Luck in your bowl game.

Yeah, you definitely didn’t watch any Michigan football this season and definitely didn’t watch The Game. Michigan runningbacks carried the ball for a womping 3.5 ypc. Michigan gained a combined 62 yards on their 3 scoring drives. Ohio State’s defense did their job. But that’s to be expected from a fair weather fan. How embarrassing for you.
The whole Marshall situation is an utter shame.
Marshall doesn’t really have NIL. I think 1 player on this years team was paid
NIL Money. Most of these players are leaving to get Paid.
The X Coach Charles Huff is a complete L7 Loser Narcissist.
The AD should be fired too. I really feel bad for the new Coach
he has a heck of a Mess to Clean Up. The players should have been
Required to play the game then transfer. The Army deserves better.
The only good thing Going on in Herdville is they Beat the
#1 Ohio St. Buckeye’s in Men’s Soccer Friday and are playing
for the Natl Title tonight.
I guess Marshall is now a Soccer school.

Not exactly sure what you are meaning to say with your wet charmin note. As far as comparing the Michigan Wolverines to the suckeyes, it's a 365 thing. Recruits do it, fans do it, media does it. You are really struggling with the latest loss to "THE" Michigan Wolverines - at colscumbus as a 20+ pint favorite. It was a good old fashion Michigan run the ball, eat up clock, win the trenches, be more physical, win the special teams game and quiet the little old ladies that play in the shoe.

The other thing that is absolutely hilarious is how the osu AD, fans, etc.. are now trying to de-emphasize the meaning of "THE" Game. Just WOW! I guess it is all about saying things that will make them feel better about the loss at home as a 20+ point favorite and being called soft by the entire country. It is and has been the greatest rivalry in all of sports. And in the blink of en eye, suckeye nation thinks "THE" Game really doesn't mean much. OK, I believe you. LOL!!

Narcissist, sure. But complete L7 loser? First conference championship for Marshall in a decade lol
We have a little higher expectation.
We are the highest winning percentage in all of D1 football in the 90’s.
We don’t accept mediocrity like they do in Columbus.

Apparently not. Like I said, it’s the first conference title in 10 years.
Since you have such high expectations I will assume that is also the case for the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. Is that correct?
I would also assume, then, that Marshall has multiple FBS national championships. Can you tell me how many they have? Playoff appearances? Playoff wins? BCS appearances? BCS wins? Since you have high expectations and don’t accept mediocrity, I will assume the answers rival that of Alabama under Nick Saban.We don’t accept mediocrity like they do in Columbus.

Yes but the expectation comes from the 90’s. Were#1 your number #10
Sure Sure on the Natl Titles.
We don’t get the Homer picks like the Cripps Do.
Good Luck against Rocky Top. Feels like its going to be Mizzou all over again.

What about title appearances? Playoff appearances? For some reason you neglected to address those.
Living vicariously through another team because you lost 49-14, sad to see. But hey, at minimum, it’ll be significantly more entertaining than no bowl game because everyone left!
Sorry Pal you’re wrong. Marshall was FCS for some of the Ninety’s but they were FBS
Long enough to have the Highest Winning Percentage in the FBS in the 90’s.
You want to know the playoff Appearances and Title appearances you look them up.
The 49-14 loss was a joke. You always GO with the Vicarious BS. Grow up L7.
Your just like the Chokeyes a real deflector. Go to bed Joe Biden.

Sorry Pal, more right than you are. They were in FBS for three seasons. They spent the vast majority of the 90s in FCS.
You’re comparing 3 seasons for Marshall to 10 seasons for everyone else in FBS
Sorry, I just assumed FBS playoff appearances and title appearances would be something you’re proud of since Marshall has such high expectations. I did look it up. It’s 0. I thought you said Marshall doesn’t accept mediocrity?
You’re right, 49-14 was a joke. It should have been much worse for Marshall.
That’s because you’re ALWAYS living vicariously through other teams since Marshall isn’t very good. If you don’t want me to keep calling you out on it, I suggest you stop living vicariously through other teams.

Well, not for no reason. But definitely for a ridiculous reason.
Huff doesn’t like doing the donor schmoozing type of responsibilities a D1 coach has. The big name donors got their panties in a wad about it. They leaned on the AD and gave him a low ball contract (low ball for the on field performance, at least).
Long story short: a bunch of high paid egos ruined it for the players and the fans.

They went 10-3 and won their conference. Why would he get a low ball contract offer for on field performance.
Am I missing something?
Orin Swift
Well-known member
Yes, but because I probably worded my post funny. This part of my post.
Donors told the AD that if Huff stays, the well is drying up. So the AD offered an insultingly lowball offer, despite the 10-3 record with a conference championship.
Sorry Joe Biden. Your wrong facts are facts. Marshall is #1 in the 90’s.Sorry Pal, more right than you are. They were in FBS for three seasons. They spent the vast majority of the 90s in FCS.

Sorry Joe Biden your football Team is Not that good. They proved that the last game of the year.
The Marshall Game was a joke Just like I said. Typical Homer city so the Cripps don’t get their feelings hurt.
You live your Fantasy the rest of the week. Then like last year Reality will set in on Saturday night.
There just not that Good.

Here’s why they matter. It matters to this guy, his team, the fans. Cal moved to 6-6 and bowl eligible with a comeback win over 3 win rival Stanford. A nothing game in the grand scheme of college football, but it was clearly meaningful to Cal to go to a bowl game (which they lost to UNLV). No game is meaningless.
