[NDWarrior]

Well if you can't steal their signs, then how about you steal their coaches (just in time for the CFP!)... Alabama hires ex-Michigan assistant ahead of CFP, source says

2024 Florida

Miami (FL)
Samford
Texas A&M
@ Mississippi State
***BYE WEEK***
UCF
@ Tennessee
Kentucky
***BYE WEEK***
Georgia (Jacksonville, FL)

LSU
Ole Miss

That 5-game stretch to end the season...

That may be the end of Napier.

Florida's opponents will have the bolded on their schedule when the Gators are on tap.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I'm assuming the double bye week is a thing now going forward?

 

[NDMatt91]

The Ole Miss bag men aren't messing around. They have commitments from the top 2 EDGE players in the portal and are the favorites for Walter Nolen and Juice Wells. They're going to be very good next year.

They should be a Playoff team.

Mizzou isn’t playing around as well. They’re stepping up in terms of NIL.

I hope the transfer portal helps with parity in college football

I hope the transfer portal helps with parity in college football

I feel like it could take a few more years, but it might be coming. It all boils down to quarterback play, though.

 

[forkbeard3777]

I despise the portal and the way NIL "pay for play" is structured; however, I'm all for the parity. My favorite college football memories were largely in the 90's, and LSU sucked then (I remember being ecstatic just to play Michigan State and Notre Dame in the Independence Bowl).

In the 90's, you had the following:

-Nebraska
-FSU
-Tennessee
-Florida
-Colorado
-Washington
-A&M
-Texas
-Notre Dame
-Miami
-Arizona State
-Oklahoma
-Michigan
-Ohio State
-Penn State
-Virginia Tech
-Alabama

Looking at the above (and I apologize for any unintentional omissions), but we had good to great teams touching all parts of the States. That was the best time for college football, in my opinion. Tons of parity, the "arms race" (i.e., stadium expansions, absurd coaching salaries, DJ/Techno piped in music, lame light shows, etc.) didn't exist. It was all about the tailgating, the game, the fans, and the schools' bands. It had little to no corporate feel.

Georgia QB Carson Beck returning for senior season

Kiffin is notoriously brazen and a proud "troll", but God, this is just an unfortunate tweet. Your new college football, ladies and gentlemen:

 

[dublinirish]

 

[ulukinatme]

It's supposedly a loaded QB draft class, but did he get a Day 2 grade or was it NIL that convinced him to come back?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Kiffin is notoriously brazen and a proud "troll", but God, this is just an unfortunate tweet. Your new college football, ladies and gentlemen:

FWIW, just in the last few months upon any kind of coaching move, you have people on this very board talking about calling this guy or calling that guy, does ______ roster have anyone ND would be interested in, etc.

This is the way. Saban retires and you have Kiffin, Sheduer Sanders and everyone else throwing up the Bat Signal to the Alabama players.

 

[notredomer23]

give LSU the death penalty IMO

 

[Huntr]

That is a LOT of bets.

The rate is, basically, one per hour, without sleep.

 

[Giddyup]

The real question is if they are counting parlays as one bet?

 

[notredomer23]

Have a buddy that places 10+ bets per game everyday on player props and a mix of parlays. Some guys are just addicted to the action and now that it's in their hand wherever they are it's a big problem.

 

[notredomer23]

Damn guy was a good bettor, watch him get hired by Barstool.

EDIT: Misread it and apparently he lost $80K lol

 

[zelezo vlk]

Personally I think the craziest part was that he chose the username "kayshonboutte01" lol

EDIT: Misread it and apparently his mom lost $80K lol

FIFY

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

He was betting on himself.
Explains why he was such a bitch when he didn't get the ball!

Tennessee under NCAA investigation for NIL violations

The new investigation comes on the heels of a previous NCAA probe into Tennessee that concluded last July.
