It's been said that something like 40% of the players who go into the portal don't land anywhere else. You have to think that the reasons go beyond football abilities. How many of these guys didn't put forth the efforts in the classroom and are looking for an easier path? The skeptic in me finds it...

“But your media deal sucks” - random cfb fans .

Great work being put in by App and our conference mates!

If we App fans think our own the most insufferably negative people ever, please look at any Ohio State fan blog/message board this week. Or Alabama. Or USC. And on and on. Trust me, App fans on this board and for the most part online are not the exception. Our “worst” are still better behaved than ...

Hope he’s happy with the change!

While I believe App will pick the best they can, I don’t know much about position coaches. Who/what type of background would be realistically considered? Is it going to be a peer school we try to pull from or is this a case of pulling from FCS?

Wasn’t expecting SoAL and GaSt being the only others to win so far. I thought Troy would win easy, Dook lost a lot (coach and players).

Coastal might pull one off.

JMU ain’t gonna live down the AFA loss for a year.

Regardless of where FSU ends up, once again...the lawyers win.

Makes me want to switch career fields sometimes. Damn.

$750k is like NFL minimum wage. Do some of these collectives value these dudes that much and are willing to pay them as a backup? If you aren't on a video game, a cereal box or hawking for a heating and air company how exactly does NIL apply? Some other ways NIL is used that other students can do: ...

Height of insanity

Hopefully they’re learning how to pay taxes as an independent contractor for the companies using their NIL. Unpaid taxes come back to bite.

it's more of a stupid thing to do than it is inappropriate. A full damn grown man posing without a shirt, with a gold chain, with a bunch of college girls in bikinis and as a representative of his employer. On your personal account, sure, go for it. But better not put that crap on my businesses acc...

My expectations every single season: 1: go undefeated and win the National Championship 2: play in the NY6 game 3: win the Sunbelt 4: play in and win a bowl game Number 1 is nearly impossible and as a reasonable and non-delusional fan I don't expect that. If we accomplish number 2 the 3rd is a give...

So basically any college athlete can transfer every year if they wish? It’s like any other student. Now hopefully schools uphold their academic requirements for transfer. I’m surprised no one has tried to go after eligibility years recently. If I can be in undergrad for 7 years….well why can’t an a...

Winning a conference title is becoming less of a big deal each year. Used to be really cool to win one but now it's the Natty or bust. That's why big schools don't accept 8-4. Conference title means nothing now for the P5(4?) since their top two/three are basically guaranteed a slot starting next y...

If UNC or Duke are playing on TV at or close to the same time as our games, students and many others won’t be attending App games. Kinda just the way it is.

For now

It's ridiculous now. Just shut down the sports for colleges and let them be about learning. If some folks want to get together and give athletes a place to play their sports...so be it. I'm over all of this junk.

Club sports for all!

As suspected, it looks like the Holy Cross coach.

Looks like he’s done well in the Patriot League, so it’ll be interesting to see what he does against the SBC level of competition and in recruiting with scholarship offers.

I wonder what the NFL Players Association thinks about this. I can imagine pro teams using this to drop the value of the contracts of the top draftees. Why give them a contract worth $41m when you can already see it’s half that or less? I have other issues, but posters here have already covered them...

111-35

Hope it was a good workout at least.

FSU's defense will keep it close until the second half.

FSU could win it. Georgia doesn't care and will have 10-15 sit out. FSU might not care for that matter either as they feel they've been snubbed.

I think they’ll have a chip on their shoulder because of the snub and come out swinging.
