CFB '17 Offseason |OT| Urban Meyer is pretty much just the worst.

Last part implies a conference could dictate itself (at the risk of becoming persona non grata). Also implies violations if teams "tamper" with other schools players (meaning contact players to entice them to transfer to your school)
It's touchy. Only because basically G5 schools will be further affected and treated as a minor league system for the P5. I get the spirit of the change, though, for the individual student. I'm sure P5 schools will find ways to wink and nudge to rising star G5 talent after a couple years in college. And really more specifically, this is about a coach trying to get their players to follow them when they leave a school.
Is immediate eligibility being addressed here? Because that would be the final thing to ensure an internal minor league system. Especially if other measures aren't put into place to allow more flexibility for the school to refill their rosters. Either more protections or just adopt a full on "free-agency" like pro systems so that at least a school has a chance to recover a bit after losing players.

I see. Wouldn't be shocked to see that go away in the next couple years, though.

We're all in process of learning that Mike Leach watched too much Fox News.
Well, all of us except probably cdy.
Leach couldn't be more different from me politically but I'm okay taking the crazy conspiracy theories with the late night high AF posts. His press conferences are always entertaining too.
This wasn't really news to me.
Another link from The Athletic. Apparently Pruitt has brought in 9 players via JUCO or as grad transfers. So over 10% of his roster are transfers.
That seems bad.
That seems bad.
to be honest its really not that bad. Juco's is the Bill Snyder way.
I don't think anyone has been able to get the production out of JUCO's that Bill Snyder has. I'm just saying that 9 transfers that you're looking for a great deal of production from is not a great way to start the season. I think we all knew Tenneseee would be awful this year, I just didn't realize the situation was that dire.

On the Fullcast, Holly brought up the very real possibility of Kiffikins taking the UNC job after Fedora gets fired, and holy shit I started screaming in fright.
- Kiffikins at UNC would immediately own the state, and for sure kick our asses every year. Dopey Dave can't compete against the pure charisma that is Lane "Joey Freshwater" Kiffin.
- I've started to grow fond of Richt's Miami (helps that we don't play them very often), and The U's resurgence would end as Kiffin steals the good south Florida recruits and then starts winning division titles
So yeah, I'm fucking terrified. Stay away from the ACC Lane kthx. Go to the SEC and scare the shit out of Lord Saban.

I knew you would be happy about that possibility.
Y'all should just keep Fedora. He'll find another Mitchell Trubisky at some point.

Mike Leach is Extremely Normal
Featuring this gem:
As mentioned above, if Fedora is fired from UNC the Lane Train would be a shockingly good fit.
$10 to the first person who gets me a photo of Kiffikins on Franklin Street hitting on undergrads.

Okay coming in hot, I know football isn't too far away and sadly we don't have a good NCAA videogame anymore, but one of yall PS4 owners can be a lucky winner of a Madden Closed Beta code. I got an extra via JP Kellams - works for EA, formerly of Platinum - and my brother didn't want to do the install etc. I figure I'd rather play some free football, give some feedback. Only other restriction is no streaming. Watch out for a Giftbot post.
I entered. /shrug oh well. Appreciate the giveaway offer!
lolololol how did a banned person win?

Turns out it was an alt account set up for free stuff and giveaways.
I reported it when I realized posted had never posted in this thread, had two total posts and was clearly following Giftbot for freebie posts.
I should have just asked if anyone wanted it but figured we didn't have that busy enough of a thread that the giveaway would give everyone a fair shake. Love and learn. Sucks though
Good news is the chud hadn't claimed the code so I sent it to one of the regulars in the thread.
I played the beta some more today and it only enforced how much more I want an NCAA Football game. I cannot reconcile that they cannot figure a way to make the game and not hose players or their likenesses. Madden is almost too much and it felt overly complex.
I was really just pining for the days long gone of simple play selection, none of the tv presentation etc. Way too many button prompts and buttons do so many things in different contexts. I just want to turn all that shit off and play some sim-like football. I want to make VCU in to a football school and take them to the Playoffs, or promote some other FCS school, win the sunbelt, then win the Mac or MW, then realign in to the Big 12 or PAC and win that.

Brain of a 65 year old, good God.
I dont doubt football causes brain injuries, I just wish had more studies on non athletes on CTE, all the data right now is heavily skewed.
I'm pretty sure the reason they can say "he has the brain of a 65 year old man" is because they have decades of brain scans on normal people from which they can form a baseline.
Im not doubting brain age stuff, I just wish we had more data on CTE in general. Right now most of that research comes from football players because its a fairly new thing weve discovered. No doubt the gen pop has CTE, I want to see how much higher (im betting significantly) it is from other athletes and non alike.
I mean I'm probably not going to let my future children play tackle football if it's still around.
My only concussions have been sports related. Kicked in the head playing soccer in 4th grade, knocked unconscious during wrestling in high school, and kicked in the head playing flag football in college.
