Any lawyers in the group know if the Athletic Department can negotiate 2 or 3 year binding contracts with players?

I would not know an insider if he or she jumped off the page and and bit me I am here to be informed and amused by the fanbase.

Biggest question in my mind is where “academics” winds up in all of this. Who will be the college President to say “no more” for the first time since U. of Chicago did it in the 1930s? Maybe a general studies program where all the player does is show up, maybe an online certification program...

Almost every decision made by both players and coaches now is influenced by compensation One can speculate about such decisions but they are likely to remain in the shadows and the backstage. Obviously, if a university golf coach earns $350.000 a years, the players certainly deserve their share...

Happy Mothers Day Don’t be tired. Don’t be tired. My mother, god bless her, I never saw my mom sick. In other words, when I grew up, I woke up every day and my mom was there. I took it for granted. She’s never tired – or she never showed it. Be as tough as your mothers. They show up all the...

Underwood seemed to suggest in his press conference he is only bringing in one more player. Did i hear that right ?????

disagree. 10 is more than enough, and you wouldn't want to dilute the talent of your best guys to save resources for those extra spots. 13 scholarships just kinda doesn't make sense for the direction of where the sport is going. It's a delicate balance and for me we're one Denzel away (a...
