  1. Sure, that is a real consideration for many families. Honest question though, have we ever seen a player or family be aggressively prosecuted for taking payments? Cam's dad maybe? I remember the NCAA "investigation" but I can't remember how his criminal inquiry played out.
  2. For sure, it's probably a good thing to remember in general. Anytime you read "it's not that kind of recruitment" you should probably just add "-at this time" in your head. If you become a hot enough commodity there will be a point almost any player/family where the numbers being thrown around will force you to take notice unless your last name is Manning. And maybe even then.
  3. I'm good with hiring Ivey under the condition that he requires the entire team rock a baggy t-shirt underneath their jersey:
  4. I'll also add that initially the talk with him was bags weren't going to be a huge factor: he has a huge tiktok following that he'll be able to monetize. He was more interested in how a school could help incorporate his NIL rights once that comes through. Not sure what changed with that. I guess the most logical explanation is that his dad decided that he wants a taste too and it doesn't make any sense to leave bags on the table regardless of any social media income.
  5. You may be getting crossed up here. I didn't mention Imus, and I'm sure as hell not defending him. I was pushing back on whoever said it's common now for people to be fired simply for being honest on air. Curly mentioned him as an example (I think) of a person who was fired because he tripped up and was honest in his racism in front of a microphone. To me that means he was fired for being a racist asshole, not for being "honest".
  6. I have no doubt, just confused about the suspension. It reads like he's suspended by the school admin, not Jimbo or the football program. There is no way they suspend every student who gets a minor possession charge so there must a piece on information missing.
  7. Real galaxy brain shit: Ricky Williams sure was lucky to have Major and McGarity open up some space for him. Certainly it wasn't the other way around.
  8. Boyd is really on one here: I understand his thing is the importance of the aerial attack and he's right about the devaluation of great rbs but this is some bullshit. No fucking way I'm giving up Bijan for QJ.
  9. Grades or multiple strikes? Surely you don't get suspended from college for catching one misdemeanor weed charge right?
  10. Fair enough. I took it to mean saying things that are true but you aren't allowed to say because of PC culture.
  11. Curious which tv commentators have been fired for being "too honest".
  12. Glad to see the anxiety over aggy getting on OV for Stewart but not Texas was short lived.
  13. At around 30 second here. One of the dbs is Foster, can't tell who the corner is.
  14. Any specific reason why they are at risk of losing ground aside from the general shittyness of their campus/College Station? Is Jimbo just dynamite on a Zoom call?
  15. Consent has been revocable in all 50 states for a good while now (except strangely in North Carolina who only changed it in 2019). For good reason I'd say.
  16. Wow, seems like a hundred years ago that he was part of Charlie's signing day flurry. With the COVID year not counting we're going to see a fair number of 6th year players (maybe 7th in some cases) playing on cfb teams. Gonna have some BYU age players out there.
  17. Hmm, kind of odd. Bank’s replacement. No reason given yet. edit to add he was at Tenn so most likely that investigation was turning on Graham in a way that made it prudent for Saban to cut bait.
  18. Also Christian Jones up 17 pounds, listed at 6'6 327.
  19. Really happy to see Bijan not getting too big. 215-220 is perfect for him imo.
  20. I thought the 8 looked good but 11 always works. Best non-retired number? Ramonce, Sam, Major...
