From what I’ve read, they were suspended from the team before being removed. I don’t see anything about being expelled. Edit: I see now that they are no longer enrolled at Ped St., whatever that means
-
Stinking’ Pedo State gonna Pedo State. I suppose the upside is they are moving into more age-appropriate sex crimes? Gotta love the headline “former Penn State players…”, as if they had no connection to that festering program. They got kicked off because of the allegations. Fuck them

Considering USC just signed a partnership agreement with Cookies CBD/wellness/cannabis (shhhh) company, that hatch has been thoroughly breached. No NIL contracts yet, but hold on.

I realize I’m old and all that, but does anyone else cringe at the thought of a casino in Vegas (with a huuuge sportsbook) ponying up to pay a player, then covering the action on his replacement and the games?? Everyone knows the shady “no-show” jobs and bagmen were/are a thing forever, but this might just be the ultimate over-the-line scenario I’ve seen. Just my opinion, but damn. Just do away with the “amateur” label and pay the players.

Jumping in late, but even Stevie Wonder could see something like this happening. I don’t know, or care about this guy, or unlv, but my spidey-senses are calling BS. IF there was a written agreement/contract, then pursue legal remedies, don’t run to X and say I’m taking my ball and going elsewhere. You’d think Guy Fieri would toss some coin his way. When I was doing consulting/contract work during the Dot-Com boom, there were constant offers of “perks and stock options” that were as much vaporware as the business model. The rule was, and still is… GET THAT SHIT IN WRITING! If you jump on a verbal agreement, that’s on you if it goes south. His parents/advisors/agent did him no favors. Imma is correct that nobody is going to offer this guy unless every QB on the team goes missing. Particularly as a player who isn’t going to sniff the NFL… if he was an elite QB, maybe, but if I was a player I’d wonder what his commitment is.

I should have been clearer in my previous post (scrambling to get to a trade show), Kelly is an absolute piece of crap, zero argument there. He was fortunate to catch lightning in a bottle at Oregon, and had been on cruise control since. That being said, is it possible that he had an “I can’t do this shit anymore” moment (happened to me). Especially since he obviously didn’t like recruiting, being an administrator, NIL issues, the stuff they PAY you multiple-$millions for. The timing IS crappy, but how many of us would walk away from a guaranteed $6 million without a landing place? Hell, they most likely would have cut him loose this season anyway.
-
That had more to do with the horrific state of the program more so than Kelly’s coaching prowess
-
Wow, that writer comes off as a whiny bitch. I hate to see Kelly leave ucla for obvious reasons, but the guy realized he didn’t want to be a Head Coach anymore. Playing the “poor assistants out of a job” card is pretty disingenuous. Had he been fired, they would still be out of a job.
-
Kind of a strange move, HC to OC in the same conference without being fired, but it could be that the new landscape of college football led to this. He may not be cut out or doesn’t want to deal with NOL, transfer portal, etc.. I’m not shocked to see coaches that have been around for a while say later with this nonsense. Or the Bucknuts offered him a metric crap-ton of money for less work.
-
Holy crap… we all knew that the ncaa’s demise, the forming of a Super Conference/“alliance”, and the reconfiguration of sports broadcasting was coming… at some point down line. The speed of all this happening is mind-boggling. Obviously all of this has been in the works for years, just waiting for the first domino to fall, but damn. This went from zero-to-100 like a rocket.
-
Well I’m sure nobody saw this coming. Hell, the BigSEC should just replace the ncaa with Surly posters, y’all have been way ahead of the process.

You hate to see it…

I just read an article which reports that California is considering banning tackle football for youths 12 and under. The bill is still in the debate stage, and a similar bill failed previously. If (and that’s a huge if) the bill passes, it would take effect in 2026. Does that open the door for banning high school football? Who knows, it is California. California’s recruiting prospects have fallen the past few years, and this won’t help that. As it is, high schools are limited to 2 contact practices a week and no contact practices during the off season. If California players are considered “soft”, lack of tackling practice is the reason. 20 years down the road, there may only be a handful of states which still allow contact football. How that impacts college football is unknown. Does it become strictly a “development league” for the NFL with a licensing deal for a few marquee schools? I wish I knew so I could lay money in Vegas.

It started before his arrival, 7 years of helton killed off any interest
