one can rationally argue that the student players are the customers

Sure, you can argue it, but it's a dumb argument.

it *doesn't matter* if the result of the action by an individual adds net revenue to the university or not for it to be considered "work" requiring payment

You're missing the forest for the trees. Sure the marching band could strive for employment status, but it's unlikely that it would be beneficial for them in any way. There's only a small group of students (men's football and basketball) where they would come out ahead.

Because one brings in about …

Because one brings in about $60M directly from TV contract payouts, and the other does not.

Nah, I bet the committee…

Nah, I bet the committee puts FSU (assuming they win) at 4 regardless. The first year of the playoff they had 2 12-1 teams ahead of 13-0 FSU, so I don't think they'll hesitate to put Oregon at 3 (assuming they win).

who is in charge for the week of prep?

Jim Harbaugh

You think Texas Tech under Kingsbury huddled?

Yeah, but with the 12 team…

Yeah, but with the 12 team playoff starting that year, Michigan can probably lose 2 of those games (going 10-2) and easily make the playoffs.

According to this link on…

According to this link on the other thread, the ECU game is exclusively on Peacock, so no, I don't think you'll be able to watch on your local NBC channel.  It's $5/month, cancel anytime for a Peacock subscription.

Will this be an improvement?…

Will this be an improvement?

Probably, seems as though this would make week-to-week calls more consistent, and consistency is key.

Anyone drinking tonight?

Heavily, which is why you probably shouldn't trust my judgement.

With "NIL", no, there isn't really an 85 player limit anymore.

I bought a new car about 5 years ago (I usually buy new and keep ~10-12 years), and yes, I bought a manual because I figured it was my last opportunity to do so.

It does not any longer (was…

It does not any longer (was just a 1 year exception last year), we're back to a "limit" of 85 – but as others have mentioned NIL makes this a moot point.

Best hire in CFB (so far):…

Best hire in CFB (so far): Deion Sanders → Colorado: He's already pulling in great recruits at a 1-11 team.

Best B1G hire (so far): Matt Rhule → Nebraska: Succeeded everywhere he's been in college, rebuilt two programs in more challenging situations than Nebraska.

Most likely to flame out: Hugh Freeze → Auburn: Meh coach and only a matter of time until off-field issues undo him again.

Will increasing the number…

Will increasing the number of teams eligible for the playoffs diminish both The Game and winning division and conference championships?

Yes, 100% yes.

Here's a direct link.

EDIT: apologies, that doesn't seem to be working.  Here's a picture of sad Buckeyes instead:

There are also some message board rumors that Gattis is getting forced out at Miami, for whatever that's worth.

Good lord, Jake Butt, TJ…

Good lord, Jake Butt, TJ Wheatley, Devin Asiasi, and Khalid Hill all in at the same time.  I forgot how good and deep our tight ends were that year.

Michigan went to the bench super quickly.

I heard it was very, very close to going in.

I am not a fan of shitty dog owners, which is the real problem here, not the dog breed.

Copulating with sharks will do that to you.

That's pretty much it, except if he does elect for surgery (which would end his season) it's not a foregone conclusion he goes into the draft, he may come back one more year.

Thanks for the heads up.  For those that are interested:

Take it with a grain of salt…

Take it with a grain of salt, but I recently heard that was due to Denard asking to play under center because he wanted to be an NFL QB.

Because D1 offensive…

Because D1 offensive coordinators – even the bad ones – know far more about football than 99.99% of people?

For the Lions?  Uhh, no.

Nebraska played at Oklahoma last year actually.  It was a very competitive loss (no surprise there).

Nah his buyout is cut in half (~$15M to ~$7.5M) in October, so they'll at least wait that long to can him.

Hopefully selling some PDF-only versions as well?

I don't think anyone is…

I don't think anyone is upset, it just doesn't make much sense.  If conference realignment truly were a concern, why wouldn't he just push out his decision date?

He's going elsewhere.

He'll be Warde's top choice though, it's a carbon copy of the Juwan hire.

There's nothing wrong with being a successful white man.  However being a white man certainly entails privilege.  Source: white man.

You can still get a silly…

You can still get a silly tie-breaker between the #2 and #3 seeded teams when there are two byes, so that doesn't really matter.

I initially thought the single-bye as silly too, but it actually works out pretty nicely: if you win your division, you either get the bye or you get a home game the first round, which nicely awards division winners.

Yeah that last sentence is…

Yeah considering the source, that last sentence is more unnerving than all the other Harbaugh rumors put together.

IndyBlue's point is that…

IndyBlue's point is that Harbaugh doesn't have an agent, which I'm guessing you know, but just saying.

I was wondering the same thing, so no, I don't think you missed it.

Hey Alex, would you be able to modify your Gfycat settings to not have the clips autoplay?  The page takes forever to load, and when you end up switching over to HD it makes the pre-load pointless.  Thanks!

Nebraska also traditionally wears white pants at home, so if you're right then it sounds like blue pants again this weekend.
