re: ESPN trying to engineer FSU and Clemson to the SEC
Posted by Toneski on 4/11/24 at 7:51 pm
As Gamecock, I used to be strongly against Clem joining the SEC, but at this point, college athletics is a shiteshow and hardly anything makes sense anymore. So I don’t really care.
But, the positive of Clem joining the SEC is that they’re gonna have 2-3 losses most every year and won’t have a...

One of you UTA guys can correct me if I’m wrong but a buddy of mine lives in Dallas and told me UTA has a rule for admission that an applicant must finish at least in the top 10% of graduating class.
This means that a student at a prestigious private school with a 1400 SAT and a 3.8 gpa who fin...

We can keep following this rabbit hole and ask…..
Since kids are now getting paid to play, they are professionals, so what prevents an NFL player who has been cut from his team, from coming back to college and playing and getting paid? ...

What is preventing a kid from playing 6-7 years (or more) of college football or basketball? As example -
The “sit out a year” transfer rule never had any foundation in logic. Supposedly it was to “allow the student time to acclimate to new school” when really it was a means to benefit coaches...

re: Flannigan not suspended

Really makes one question what the SEC’s threshold is for suspending a player because that elbow throw was assault. If they weren’t on a basketball court Flannigan should have been arrested. ...

The unprovoked, cheap shot, elbow throw to the head of the SC player was one of the worst acts I’ve seen recently in college basketball. Dude doesn’t belong in a uniform playing college basketball. ...

I meant to add that, a recent example of how NIL changes things, is SC.
The Gamecocks had never signed an out of state 5* until last year. That kid was lured by NIL deals for football and track.
The Gamecocks had never signed two 5* recruits in the same class until this year and those kids...

Clem has generational bagmen….literally, sons have learned from fathers…..it went on for decades. Now that NIL is here and player compensation is legal, Clem has lost the recruiting edge it had over schools that lacked the bagman network Clem has had for a long time. Clem’s recent recruiting ranki...
