People are saying this is too much, but having a bad punter is REALLY expensive on Sundays. I recall Stout at PSU changing games with field position - flipping the field and pinning opponents inside the 20.

Does your advice include your post, which I just read?

It's funny..I'm not quote old enough to really remember the PSU vs ND rivalry of the 80s, but I distinctly remember thinking Holtz was less than savory and then this book was published that paints a very different picture than the American Thinker headline...

Keep her away from the MRI room!

But does he play QB well? The only teams AR beat in 2025 were Alabama A&M (FCS) and Arkansas St(Sunbelt). 2-10 overall, 0-8 (16th) in the SEC.

Yup...Franklin in the one consistent piece....Either he is terrible at hiring assistants, or he hamstrung them all and led to their poor performance.

Did Kotelnicki "get Franklin fried" or did Franklin hamstring AK's offense? IIRC, the AK hire was thought of highly due to his innovative offense. Everyone was excited to see what he could do with the talent PSU had. I think we learned that JF butt puckered real hard and he took all risk out of...

IMO the best case situation for Allar is to go to a team with a QB1, where he can get settled as a backup, with no expectation of playing Day 1. Franklin did him no favors and I think he probably needs some time to learn the QB position. I personally love the GB Packer model of drafting a QB a...

I guess we have to hate Moore because he just took the job at CSU and now there are players trapped at CSU for at least a semester. Do I have that correct?

It's hard ya know....I bet that Pburg reporter had to cover the Opera....just too much else going on to worry about sports

Probably some NIL going to women's VBall...there must some specific reason that 10K is diverted to WVB specifically...or maybe we are going to see some sort of rotation between non-revenue sports.

Nah. These were made for TV events by ESPN to create content during a slow December. We don't need a 6-6 vs 7-5 bowl game in 10 degree Detroit on Dec 16th. 3 bowls folding is not enough. Need at least 10 more to go.

What is interesting is the breakdown of the non-revenue sports and gender disparities. What drives $10K to men's tennis, but not women's or 10K to women's volleyball, but not men's. Wonder if there is 1 athlete on each of those squads being paid, as an example.

All Good....FWIW, this is the Google result for "university payments to athletes" TLDR: Universities can pay athletes from an athletic dept fund, currently capped at $20.5M/institution. NIL is separate, 3rd party funds -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key...
