    I’m all for speed. No doubt it makes a huge difference. But if I’m HCFB, I’m looking for guys who have the “it” factor. I know we have discussed the intangible nature of that on this board ad nauseam. Still, I don’t see how it can be discounted. And I’m looking for guys who will simply...

    Rob Konrad v SUAD part one million

    A real thing. But also an incredibly over-used term. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a narcissist. Not everyone who does terrible things is one. Some people are just traditional, run-of-the-mill A-ho13$. And that’s not a personality disorder. It’s just an A-hole.

    There are many things I don’t understand. The older I get, the more I understand there are more things I don’t understand.

    Donor Fatigue

    And it sounds like you don’t want to know. What I’m saying…. Which seems to be getting lost… is that I do want to know. Otherwise college sports cease to exist. If any amount of money can be thrown at a player in a pay for play setup, it’s gone. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say, kids...

    Corruption. Pay to play. I’m not alone in making that accusation. I don’t think I’m wrong.

    Donor Fatigue

    I understand open market value. These are state schools - most of them, and all receive federal dollars. I want accountability. I don’t want the government involved. But you know they’re going to get into it anyway.

    Donor Fatigue

    I have said it a million times, but I’ll repeat myself. I want to know PRECISELY what a kid is doing (services, appearances, commercials, photo ops, autographs, whatever) to earn NIL monies. I think they should have to report it to their schools and the NCAA. With the amount of money on the...

    I agree it’s depressing. But then, I don’t think college football is going to be college football very much longer.

    Donor Fatigue

    My opinion is that boulder has cleared the top of the hill. It’s all about momentum now. Employee status; Union; salary caps; corporate underwriting; relaxed (or abandoned) academic standards; and yes, strikes. Most of all, perhaps, the loss of the college identity, which will exist only in name.

    If SU were to end up in a national conference of private schools, I would be okay with that.

    Hopkins Gameday...

    For anyone who was at the game, was the officiating really as bad as they made sound on the radio? I’ve never heard a broadcast - I know it’s Homer Radio - rip on the refs so thoroughly.

    19-10 (10-8) against the 20th hardest schedule

    I don’t think so. It was never about the 64 (68) BEST teams in the country. It’s about the 40 or so best teams in the country, and enough other spots for every league champ. It’s a great system.

    NCAA cannot enforce NIL rules preliminary injunction says

    How does the SEC have restrictions on where you can transfer in the late portal? Why doesn’t the ACC have anything like that? I hate transfers within conferences.

    NCAA cannot enforce NIL rules preliminary injunction says

    Yes. But that’s not even what I said. I said they EXPECT to have a chance. Nuance, for certain. But life’s best experiences are constructed on nuance.

    NCAA cannot enforce NIL rules preliminary injunction says

    It’s been doing fine, because up until now the fans of virtually any team can expect to “have a chance” on any given day, or in any given year. Pull the rug out from under 60% of the college sports fan base and just see how it does.

    Damien Alford in the portal as a Grad Transfer

    Unless the coach makes it clear when he is recruiting the player. If he says, “My team goes to church.” Then that’s fine. If you do t want to go to church, that’s your choice - at a different school.

    Maryland Gameday...

    I know a lot less about lax than almost anyone on here. But my impression - like yours - was that SU looked like the better team for most of the game. Losing sucks. Especially in that manner. But I saw a very good team out there. Early on, some of the penalties went against us, and they...

    I’ve never been on a bull. But that seems like a perfect analogy. To me the difference in this game was taking- and making - those mid range shots.

    ACC moves forward on helmet communication

    I’ve never understood how they limit the use to simply between plays. What’s to stop a coach from warning the QB of a blind side sack coming? Or to alert a QB to an open WR?

    FanDuel sets win total for Cuse at 6.5...

    I don’t know about “right.” But SU won 6 games last year without Gadsden. With him it would have likely been 8, maybe 9. We limped to the finish without a QB. I think the 6.5 projection is only odd when compared to what SU should have accomplished last season. I probably would have projected 7.5...
