Offseason thread for Transfer portal news, coaching carousel, Spring games and everything else until

I do love how Qunicy Avery, a bloke that has trained many CFB and NFL QBs responded to Deion with this:



Anyone who watches College knows Shedeur is nowhere near a first round QB but will still probably be taken near the top due to desperation for QBs at the top of the draft.

Bad time to be chasing a QB

Yep I feel like Deion is setting Shedeur up for failure with how much pressure he putting on the kid.

As soon as he starts playing bad, everyone going to go after the QB, and not just coach.

 

[aussiedude]

Deion barely recruits. He doesnt do trips or home visits. Shedur was begging on social media for any transfers to contact him. All he uses is the portal and hope they want to join the circus.

Talk about breaking the English language.

Fox will be free of WWE on fridays and have said they would like to have sport on that night. so from week 3 on they should have a game on. Week 3 has Arizona @ Kansas State on friday.

Fox are holding the upfronts on Tuesday our time so early season schedule will be announced for a bunch of games. and Disney have their upfronts the next day

 

[aussiedude]

Weeks 2, 3 and 14.

Texas/Michigan in week 2 sucks that it will be on at 2AM our time and a game we wont be able to see anyway.

 

[gaskin]

Klatt commentating Texas and Bama should give him someone other than Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State to talk about for a week.

 

[aussiedude]

Texas have been on big noon a few times. but the Big12 teams hate the biggest game being at noon.

 

[gaskin]

I half expected them to be in Atlanta for UGA/Clemson but I am glad they are going to be on an actual campus.

 

[AJ_2000]

No shocks there

 

[gaskin]

Apparently it is all a load of bullshit with a lot of incorrect information. The lawsuit is also coming from a former doctor that PSU sacked so he is slinging shit to try and get paid.

Franklin and Penn State Athletics have also been dropped from the lawsuit.

ESPN sold 2 first round playoff games to TNT in a 5 year deal, where in year 3 one of them will become a quarterfinal.
ESPN is expected to produce the games with their crews just with a TNT banner.

You can bet this years games will be the 2 saturday games that will clash with the NFL ones.

was bound to happen once states like California ruled that the student athletes can be school employees.
next step will be player unions, with some schools have been working to get started for a few years now.

There's a bunch of people that are going to make a lot of money from this, and it won't be the players

Could very well be the end of college athletics. There is no way smaller schools will be able to compete on any level with the amount of money the big schools can throw at players. With NIL they had a chance. Now there is none what-so-ever. This is going to be the ultimate haves versus have nots.

Its already like that anyway with boosters. now its taking it out of the shadows.

the death of college sports was the realignment over the last 3 years.
This and NIL are just a transition before the money making sports split and create an official farm league for the NFL or NBA
