Penn State went 3-17 in Big10 play....one of those wins was over Iowa toward the end of the year.

So, yeah...not much was expected. They're lucky to be in the Tourney.

When Villanova was considered a Cinderella in '85, they went 9-7 in the Big East (best Conference in basketball then) and had a better overall record than this Iowa team.

Iowa (10-10) in Big10 play. Cinderella isn't simply if you're a small school or mid-major.

too high on Mendoza as a No.1 overall pick

Well duh. Unless you're Eric Crouch and Charlie Ward, pretty much every Heisman championship QB gets slobbered on if he comes out fresh off a season of accolades. Remember, Leinart just being penciled in at #1 like Mendoza after crushing Oklahoma with his Heisman?

and too low on Simpson as QB2 (2nd round).

Nah...But the NFL QB position is so dumbed-down these days you never know...clipboard holders with feet can make a living.

Its a shame a lot of people missed out on the days of 80s CBB...

Teams rosters barely changed year to year...no one and dones.

Now the portal, now NIL...its so far removed from College athletes, so far removed from "your team"... who are these guys sporting my teams colors? The turnstile, the $ , the Dance is over.

Kansas defensive strategy on the final play was atrocious.

Remove all defenders from the paint? Bold move Jayhawks.

This. The entire thing is the silliest/flukiest way to crown a champion there’s no point in getting upset or judging a coach/team on any of it.

---

We were heading that way in CFB with expansion before NIL established some boundaries.

CBB season means basically nothing except for fringe teams from major Conferences.

CFB is doing its best to make the expanding Playoffs a new "January Madness"... ugh. College sports are simply run now for and by the Networks for $ and eyeballs. AP should go back to naming their National Champion in football and basketball before these made for tv playoff tournaments... The actual season might mean something again.

only good thing to come out of that school is drew brees

That article is a mess, all over.

The author feels the need to explain and defend the medical condition of Asthma a s if he's writing to 4 year olds.

And regarding CTE...."Skattebo's comments likely won't come without repercussions. Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL have worked to make the game safer for more than a decade."

Yeah, the NFL is gonna come out and say, Cam is deadly wrong...our product kills people slowly but we've made it look less obvious.

the goal is to keep students learning safely and effectively

Bold of you to assume this is already happening.

The fact that they thought they needed to ask is crazy. You can retire a jersey and not a number. If USC wants to issue 11 again he has not freaking say in it.

---

Well then USC should not be retiring numbers, because that's what they tell their Heisman winners they're doing.

quote:

---

The USC Trojans have officially retired Caleb Williams' No. 13 — and formally re-retired Reggie Bush's No. 5, meaning that all eight of their Heisman Trophy winners now have their numbers retired.

---

Leinart clarified his comments amid speculation stating Riley has not asked:

quote:

---

Coach Riley hasn’t asked me if a recruit can wear my number so we can settle that right now. I’ve been asked in the past before and have said the same thing every time.

---

“When I was at USC, I got my number retired,” Leinart said on his Throwbacks Podcast. “You win the Heisman Trophy, automatic retired number, which is pretty cool. So, our jerseys are hanging in the Coliseum on one side.”

“There’s been multiple times where people at USC have asked me if I would unretire my jersey for some five-star prospect,” Leinart said. “And do you want to know what I told those guys straight up? I said, ‘Absolutely f****** not.’ I am never going to unretire my jersey for some random dude who by the way now could wear No. 11 and transfer after a year.”

Asked what he’d say if a USC player with a big NIL deal offered money for the No. 11 jersey, Leinart said it’s not about money. “Absolutely not. Would never do it,” Leinart said. “It’s not for sale.”

Where?

School removed him from campus and he's off the team....

NIL, rich in College,, no supervision, what could go wrong?
