Coaching staff cannot comment on recruits until a LOI is signed or, in the case of transfers, until financial arrangements have been finalized.
Spring game is Friday now. And won’t be on BTN

Better than having a bunch of people show up and then having to delay or cancel the whole thing due to thunderstorms, but still a bummer.
This is not how to go about shortening games. Shorten the broadcast, not the game itself.

Brutal rule change. I'm sure everyone will love when there are more commercials than actual football broadcast...
But that would cut down ad revenue! Thats the only reason this sport is still around, what with the turning knees to glass and brains to mush.

Get ready for fewer games with exciting endings. Going the length of the field with 45 seconds left when down 5 is almost impossible now.

It says that the clock will stop after first downs in the final 2 minutes of each half. Might want to read the the article. It states that in the first paragraph.

Shorten video reviews. Move all reviews to a central location somewhere with several replay officials, give them every possible angle, and let them get it done quickly. Waiting for the refs to trot across the field to the 6" diagonal replay monitor, futz around calling for angles, rewinds, etc., then conferring amongst themselves is not only quite a bit of wasted time, it doesn't really create much confidence in the process. Especially when they still get an obvious call wrong.

It's funny, I almost added that caveat before I hit post but got distracted
Superb idea! Go even farther and have these officials offsite with no clue re: the score or time remaining. They should only review the play itself with no context whatsoever. Context is irrelevant.

Still kinda sad and bad that there is no streaming for the scrimmage, if 1A teams can put their games on YouTube, Illinois could do something similar with better video

With the schmack guy.
I don't get this either, I guarantee there equipment is around, and if we don't have staff to do it, hire freelancers or a local station's video staff. It's not hard, unless there are some media rights issues or something we're not aware of.
sounds like the defense is being gashed. Is Altmeier playing against the second team defense?
How is the first defense looking>?
Anyone knocking people around?

Maybe they don’t want our opp to get a preview

True - but they were going to get it last night on BTN until the weather changed things
If it had been the opposite, would we hear hand-wringing about the offense? The glass is half full either way. looking forward to a great season.
