Sure. But you don't have board members and a fan base expecting you to turn it around immediately.
I'm glad to see this for him and for us. We already have a full QB room next year that will be somewhat of a circus from a competition standpoint. Having one more person trying to get snaps will make it that much more complicated. Maybe I'm wrong on him, but unless he's an NFL level guy, I'd rather roll with what we have and figure something out between smith/flores/rangel, assuming flores is what he's touted to be.
There’s a reason that experienced QB’s are in demand.
Yep. Sometimes, especially with QBs.
You make exceptions for said players. They’re no longer student athletes anyway so who cares right?
Can you though? I don’t know. From a legal standpoint can you actually say ‘well he’s a football player, so he can start classes two weeks into the semester…’?
Honestly what could the NCAA do? They literally have no teeth. When a coach or university decides they’re gonna do what they want in a situation like that, the dominoes will fall and everyone will start doing it. It’s absolutely disgusting what has happened to college football.
I’m looking forward as a solution to the portal BS that exists and how to help solve it. Yes you could do that if the powers that be actually solved important issues.
Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. From a standpoint of Federal Law, I don’t know if you can just change admissions requirements because the student is an athlete. There are already policies in place that eliminated athlete only dorms, athlete only dining facilities. Seems like saying that Johnny QB can just show up and start the semester whenever would be discriminatory to the other students.
That’s what I meant by ‘so college.’ College FB, and perhaps BB need a centralized structure that’s not the NCAA. The sport is stuck in an awkward transition phase that has one foot in the old world and the SEC/B1G wanting to maximize the future.
TV networks shelling out billions for live content, not a snowball’s chance.
Conference championships were a week ago and the national championship is not until second week of January…. plenty of time to maximize both revenue and games played as the schedule exists today.
You lost me on that one. The TV networks keep all of the billions they’re shelling out, we just adjust how the schedule works….. help me understand what you were saying.
They have no incentive to shorten their content window in order to make the portal situation better. The absolute worst of the bowls outdraws NBA games. The CFP championship game is 1/21 this year. So to think that they’re going to give up almost a month of live programming isn’t going to happen.
Make the top 4 CCGs a first round non-elimination NCG entry for ranking. Give the four winners a bye. Keep the other four in the NCG tournament. Add four at large teams. First round on the second Saturday of December. That leaves 8 teams. Second round on the third Saturday. That leaves 4 teams. Third round on the fourth Saturday. That leaves two teams. NCG on the first Saturday of January or NYD. Done. I’m sure that there are flaws in this but it is just one idea.
I hear you. The track record for Gundy playing the right QB tends to lean towards the former rather than the latter. More likely, Flores was the clear cut answer and his foot injury wouldn't let the flip the switch on it.
