Re: Cam Peoples

No App State player in the last several years had their character assassinated by chirpy football program staffers more than Can Peoples. This is true. Every off-season some shit would come out about Cam being a cancer or Cam transferring or Cam being this or that. I’d imagine his stories will pert...

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

There will likely be contracts associated with NIL with stipulations and provisos regarding expectations around the payment. They will likely entail, class attendance, grade thresholds and integrity clauses. This isn’t NIL. It’s payment directly from the school. Those payments are not required. So,...

Re: Joey in tier 9

And had he transferred he would’ve been in Tier 2 or so with a whole two paragraphs about his performance and NFL prospects. Fact of the matter is that the Cure Bowl likely opened some eyes for scouts, as well as the JMU and UNC games did. RG3 said it, “if any scouts are watching, this guy has an ar...

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

Listened to the WSJ podcast this morning and many believe their will be a further push to classify athletes as full employees. This would increase costs even further and faster. Will the power 2 or 4 give in here or do they fight for this treatment for football and basketball only? I hope we're sti...

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

Important to remember that this settlement does not do away with payments from collectives. This is revenue sharing by the school. The collectives will still exist. Also have heard some legal experts who believe Title IX does not apply to revenue sharing. It deals with equal opportunity for educati...

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement

How many sports will be cut and how many entire athletic departments will be shuttered completely because of this? The way I read it is that the cap will be $22 million per year to begin with and will adjust based on revenue. That is the number for the P4 schools. What will the amount be for a Belt...

Re: NC State series in danger?

what a bunch of babies. They've been dodging app for almost 20 years. They're non-conference schedule has been a joke under Doren so it's not shocking they'd back out of this one. Thankfully, we're not the only program in the state that's going to get left behind. They won't get an invite to the P2...

Re: Another Portal Loss and Portal Discussion

I mean in this case it clearly worked out for Jalen, he’s getting paid more than he would at App AND he’s a significant contributor. While he would get plenty of nfl consideration at App there’s no doubt if he’s successful in the SEC that =higher draft position=more money Toledo just had a corner g...

Re: Two minute warning, helmet comm approved

And Johnny Unitas called his own plays - drew them up on the field sometimes. Fun to watch. Patrick Mahomes does this with Kelce. Brady used to do it with Gronkowski. How do you think two guys get open so easily, so often? They just run to an open spot, Mahomes or Brady get's it there, and they run...

I think the other thing we learned last year is that practice Joey and GAMEDAY Joey might be 2 different people. Not saying he doesn't practice hard or prepare but sometimes how you act on gameday doesn't translate in practice. He was neck and neck with Burger in practice but the stats in the elon ...

Re: Cabral to WVU (Eric McDaniel is replacement)

Also, please provide insight into our offense being predictable on certain plays If we pass on first down and it's incomplete, 90% of the time we run on second down. And likewise, if a run is less than 3 yards on first down, then we throw a check down or deigned <10 yard pass on second down 90% of ...

Re: Keep Joey 2024 - NIL

The answer has to come from States standing up for amateurism. The states control colleges not federal. I am fine with a two tier system as long as it is the paid league and the amateur league. There were very few at the Troy basketball game. My children's high school has more paying fans than most...

Re: Keep Joey 2024 - NIL

NIL will turn college athletics into even more of the have’s and have not’s. Afraid we will fall into the second bucket and will be raided every offseason. Yes we can pick up transfers but only what well funded NIL programs don’t want. I doubt we have many fans willing to send hard earned money to ...

Little in what way? Where? App was always small on the line. Overall, this is the biggest line App has had since going to FBS. The only smallish player was Hopper, and he may be better suited as an end, but he was a menace in passing situations from nose.
