did the NCAA give themselves 2 extra days of vacation unlike most of us who are back to work?

I'm assuming so.

On top of it, even when/if he gets the extra year, he still has to formally decide what he wants to do. I'm betting he stays but there's no guarantee he does as he could get feedback from the draft process ahead of the Feb. 7 deadline that gives him confidence to move forward.

I think the LQA announcement and this are tied together

Hey bnoro!! - off to a quick start for ruining everything in 2025!!

Impressive work.

When you say tied together, are you saying LeQuint not coming back helps our chances with Kyle? In that it frees more money to pay him?

Or that it makes it less likely Kyle returns? No Butch Cassidy without the Sundance Kid?

I have been around long enough to know better but I hope you eat crow on this!!! :,-(

You save the good news for last!

Like LQA would've run it back if Kyle was coming back. Especially with a strong RB draft class this season...

I have reason to believe the LQA announcement and McCord situation are not lock-step. Meaning LQA didn’t base his decision on McCord’s NCAA ruling.

No. So here is a fun topic. If McCord does not come back... would you take Alabama's QB?

Correct, I was told precisely this and they're not related.

Ah. So you DO ruin everything!

Was not expecting either of these guys back. They have given us a lot and I think we should all feel lucky to have seen them wearing orange.

If this is the end of their Syrcause careers, I wish them nothing but good things in the future. I hope we get a chance to see them play on Sundays for a good long time.

No, Milroe has a high ceiling but a very low floor. He is as consistent as Jekyll and Hyde.

My thinking, though, is that maybe he does better outside the absurd pressure environment of Alabama (crazier than Ohio State, fyi, they want him gone gone gone) ... checks 2025 schedule... OK, maybe he should try a B12 team.

I spend half my time in Tennessee, so I know how badly the Bama fans want Milroe gone. They are also unhappy with the new coach. Not only did he lose four (count 'em... four) games, but he also wore danged hoodies on the sidelines!

'Bama and Ohio State fans are equally obnoxious. Therefore, the pressure is similar.


Bonus Alabama joke:

Q: Why can't the FBI solve any cold cases in Alabama?

A: There are no dental records and all the DNA matches.

Fun topic but sounds like it is either Kyle or one of the dudes already on the roster(ie Williams or Collins). I don’t love the idea of a guy who has never thrown a pass in a game or thrown 7 passes total to be the guy against next year’s schedule. I do like the upside of both, however, Collins in particular

A long way to go to 100 pages.

I expect early next week. Friday maybe because they NCAA may have meetings for what's going on with the Bowl games. They prob had a larger crisis to deal with this week anyway for the New Orleans Sugar Bowl stuff.

Also Lequint's decision was a whole lot different than Kyles. The NFL will be around for Kyle whether it's 2025 or 2026, probably not for Lequint if he takes another injury next year. The shelf life for running backs his size and with lower body injuries is not good in the league,

 

[upperdeck]

Milroe is that HS kid who is the best athlete on the field but really doesn't have a position.

His QB IQ is low, but when he converts to an HBack look out

Milroe is declaring for the draft... issue is moot.

The NCAA does not run the college football playoffs or make money on the playoffs.

Is there any reason why you expect next week? Once a challenge to a decision has been submitted, does the NCAA have only XX number of days to respond or are you guessing or heard something?

Hah ok, Did I say they ran it. They changed the time of a Playoff Bowl game with Georgia and Notre Dame. Pretty sure that's what the NCAA is thinking about over the last 48 hours not Kyle's waiver.

Draft declare date is somewhere between Jan 7 and the 15th.
