    I could see where RB's may not like this offense. If we opened up the offense and tweaked it, like we should, it would be a great and exciting offense to be in. The way it is now, meh.

    Cute gif. But unless you want to cite a comment by those two.....you are just attacking a player that has nothing to do with what others decide to do.

    However, there is plenty of evidence that you have an agenda against Rogers.

    I don't know if it helps their draft status, but it definitely helps their health.

    I don't have any agenda. Every argument I've ever made on here has stats, facts, and the like included. I haven't made an emotional argument unlike a lot of Will lovers. I'm tired of them blaming everyone else but him for his problems.

    I've spent a lot of money on a Tampa trip that may turn out to be watching our scout team vs. Illinois.

    This is detrimental to future bowl travel. Also detrimental to the college game in general.

    One of the reasons I am through with bowl trips unless we're ever in the playoffs. Last year's bowl game taught me a lesson and it was just not team Covid issue. They're almost to the point of treating them like a futures game and an advance on spring practice while fans are investing sizable money to fly and lodge and while never expecting a guarantee on a victory; we are expecting a best effort from administration, coaches and players. I have not seen that the last several years. One solution would be for the conference to allow schools to pay a bowl stipend to players, coaches and support staff as incentive to be 100%. That could change this but until then it's the TV for me.

    As of right now both will be back. It could always change but I believe from what I've heard they'll both be back next year.

    The portal combined with the NIL will doom the sport, unless major change comes to the rescue, and quickly. Otherwise a lot of programs (ours) are going to be left out of orbit and the dialed-in fans quit.

    So, let me get this straight about the Portal and NIL.

    If a player has not opted for the Portal another team can still make contact with this player and offer an NIL package to entice him to go into the Portal and transfer to them?

    If this is true that's ****ed up. That's just poaching players, imo.

    No. That's not allowed under the rules. Now, it happens though, but not supposed to. We had to fight off suitors for Marks last year and he never was in the portal. DCam has teams after him now.

    Largely why I don't count bowl games in analyzing a coach's season record or comparing records of coaches. Many times the bowl game is more like the first game of the next season as far as who is playing.

    That's crazy. College football is dying.

    If the P5 would break away from the ncaa it would help fix this. The SCOTUS NIL opinion went off on anti trust grounds. If the P5 becomes its own organization and competes against the NCAA for viewers and fans, antitrust goes away and the P5 can largely make whatever rules it wants. You don't like it, go play in another league.

    The thing is it goes both ways. Our players can ask for more NIL, threaten to leave, etc but we can also replace them through the portal too.

    I don't have a problem with the NIL deals because that was happening behind the scenes before..... but I think there needs to be more accountability with the portal / transfers. they need to make the rules more strict for declaring for the portal.

    We can and we can't. The burden on our staff is too much with the portal business added to it. Getting guys is a lot easier than replacing production. Now, if we had money to burn and a slightly better brand name it might be manageable looking ahead, but this isn't going to work. That's my opinion.

    It's like we have to recruit players that can start for us, and win for us, but aren't good enough for anyone else to want. That's the insanity we are dealing with.
