    Arik Gilbert to Georgia

    Former #1 TE prospect from LSU went to UF and now to Georgia where he says he'll play WR, not TE

    Be interesting even if the SEC lets up on the transfer rule (almost a given I think) if they will let him play or consider this a 2nd transfer and make him sit out a year. Georgia also just got a former Clemson DB that has started 23 games past 2 years and also signed Turnage.

    That's a helluva resume.

    "I played on 21% of the SEC teams."

    Not many can say that.

    Make him sit a year for each transfer. See you in 2024!

    If this is how things are gonna be, I think I'm gonna quit college football altogether. There is nothing good about this. In a time when each generation seems to be more self-centered, this nearly wipes away any ability to hold players accountable. It's the reason we had our starting running back quit mid season.

    That's why the system shouldn't allow the blue bloods to hoard 90% of the talent market

    He didn't quite....

    That being said, I agree with the rest. The current structure sucks for the growth of the sport

    If we are going to do 85 scholarships can we at least enforce a hard cap of 25 per year that includes signees and transfers. No counting back, greyshirts, blue shirts, etc.

    They quickest way to fix college football is to reduce schollies to 70 per team and 20 per year.

    That would be considered Racist since you will be cutting back on educational opportunities of minorities.

    1. The 11.7 in baseball already discriminates against minorities yet no one cares for some reason

    2. Start Men's soccer & give scholarships to Mexicans. Minority problem solved

    Use the extra 15 schollies on minorities then. We have a major college football popularity problem on the horizon, if not already here, and the powers that be either don't care or are not smart enough to fix it. Just look at our ticket sales and the responses on here when people are asked if they are renewing season tickets.

    Sad part is, probably 90% of D1 football athletic departments would love to support this change. Not only would it make college football a much better, more competitive product, it would save a buttload of wasted money on football scholarships for players that aren't really even essential to the team for all of these schools athletic budgets. But, you are correct, nobody in their right mind will publicly support reducing scholarship opportunities in a minority dominated sport in the current social environment. SO, we are left with and will continue to be left with a college football product that is the overall least competitive major sport in America today.

    The last 15 guys out would have to seek scholly opportunities at other schools if they want their school paid for.
