Another frustration of mine. The whole point of sitting out is because you've peaked as a NFL draft prospect and don't want to play to risk an injury right? But if that's the reason then why would you play any games that even if you perform well, will not improve your draft stock? Are you somehow more susceptible to injury in a bowl game instead of a regular season game? Just letting fear guide the decision.

No. With the playoffs, why play any bowl games?

Deion has raised a son who will be the top QB and likely #1 NFL Draft choice.

That is a recurring point of mine.

The factories have long cheated. ND long hasn't. That has been the real factor why ND hasn't won since 1988.

The SEC led the way. Time's up with NIL & transfers. The deeper pockets win in an open pay system...I bet the BIG $$$ > SEC $$$.

He's correct. Year 2 and Deion accomplished a lot

Many colleges have degrees where you can walk in, do nothing, and still easily get a high enough grade on tests. You don't even have to be fully matriculated. If I remember correctly, Tim Tebow at Florida took 0 courses his last semester, maintaining a 3.4 GPA in a program where the average GPA was 3.7.

College football has long academically accommodated athletes. So the question on mandatory attendance is moot. Like we keep discussing, it's a farce...but the mob always has, does, and always will pay to see the gladiator games.

They could care less about college.

I'm in my late 50s and old school culture. Family, Catholic Church, alma mater, country. No doubt I pursued success, but did it honorably.

Things have changed. Like I said, college football, all sports and entertainment for the most part, are circus maximus. Even my beloved soccer is being watered down, where quantity reigns over quality. Pack in as many games and teams, they will come and pay $$$.

This is why I stand by Notre Dame in football and Croatia in soccer. 2 outfits that have the old school stuff...and perhaps can evolve to maintain this while leveraging the new.

I'd love nothing more than for the Irish to win a NC to spite the factories where collegial tradition, allegiance, and unity mean nothing.

Corrupt. Fu.. Michigan. I respect Sherrone Moore more for the 13-10 win over Ohio State in Columbus this season.

I follow LA teams closely. Read the Chargers schedule. Zero signature wins.

All that said, Jim Harbaugh IMO is a damn good football coach.

9 and 4

They also had an injury to their QB late in the year. He may have played; but he was hurt.
