Speaking of which, did he get his corn from a jar?Were you tailgating/partying by the river? That would probably make the experience for me. Hearing endless repetition of Rocky Top probably wouldn't.

The University of Florida and University of Central Florida have long operated their athletics departments as direct-support organizations. FSU officials said they had discussed the move for years and saw it as a chance to make their relationship with Seminole Boosters clearer and more efficient.
The switch will also give FSU athletics all the privileges of a private corporation, including declining any public-records requests while still preserving its sovereign immunity. The immunity clause for state agencies caps any jury judgments or settlements reached by the athletics department at $200,000. Any further settlements would have to be approved by the state Legislature to avoid undue burden on taxpayers, a privilege not enjoyed by traditional corporations.
Where could the AAC turn to replace UCONN?UConn is going back to the big east where they should be. Future of football is unclear, but they aren’t dropping it. They should drop it down to NAIA so nobody ever has to watch UConn football again imo
I have no doubt that Jimbo let the situation get out of control. It just seems weird to paint a coach whose teams routinely are among the leaders (across multiple stops) in penalties as a disciplinarian. I guess that shows just how much Jimbo checked out.https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2841875-the-mess-jimbo-left-inside-fsus-fall-and-willie-taggarts-plan-to-rise-again?share=twitter
what I’ve been saying about Jimbo/Willie/FSU for two years now. I may as well have written this.
I took that as more of off the field, but you have a point.I have no doubt that Jimbo let the situation get out of control.

"Gus Malzahn is a gigantic loser who definitely financed his waterbed"- That line was worth the click by itself.
That guy still seems focused on eyeballs and TV markets. That stuff matters in the Power 5 but these G5 conferences have crap TV contracts. They should be looking at travelling fanbases and upside schools. James Madison has a 25K seat football stadium that could easily expand to 40K+ if they need to expand it. They are building a new basketball arena. They have pretty damn good Olympic sports teams as well. They are at almost 25K students and always show well on the road. That's my outside the box but will never happen idea to fill the AAC opening.

A conference member won a national title just 2 years ago.No one is thinks the AAC is on the level of even the Pac-12; so why try to compete with them?
AAC TV contract much better( like 6x better or more) than other G5 contracts.Ramblin Wreck said:That guy still seems focused on eyeballs and TV markets. That stuff matters in the Power 5 but these G5 conferences have crap TV contracts. .
Did I say PAC-12? I meant the Big 12.WDIK2 said:A conference member won a national title just 2 years ago.
Oh come on.....Developing: Bru McCoy will enter the Transfer Portal for the third time in a calendar year as former USC football assistant alleges in lawsuit he was forced to resign after reporting possible NCAA violations
Oh man...the Round Mound of Touchdown probably has the best nickname collection ever...he could move like few at that size...sad, but he made an impression on college football.Jared Lorenzen (the former 300 pound QB at Kentucky) passed away today.
My favorite was the "Pillsbury Throw Boy".Oh man...the Round Mound of Touchdown probably has the best nickname collection ever...he could move like few at that size...sad, but he made an impression on college football.
Just start a new one. Everyone knows you can't have a PSU guy in charge. No oversight.Gotta get this thread title updated. Big responsibility.
That would actually be a pretty good thread title.Just start a new one. Everyone knows you can't have a PSU guy in charge. No oversight.
Jesus....That would actually be a pretty good thread title.
“PSU oversight fails again”
Fixed.That would actually be a pretty good thread title.

THE Brandon Wimbush?Suboptimal for their National Championship hopes
@ChrisVannini: #UCF QB Darriel Mack Jr. broke his ankle in a non-football activity this week, the school announces.
“There is no specific timetable for his return. He will not be available for training camp.”
Brandon Wimbush, you're up.
Woof. Was the Coast Guard Academy not available?I wonder if they'll play Ride of the Valkyries when they introduce the visiting team.
@Brett_McMurphy: Miami completes 2020 non-conference schedule, adding home game w/Wagner
POTD, lateUConn is going back to the big east where they should be. Future of football is unclear, but they aren’t dropping it. They should drop it down to NAIA so nobody ever has to watch UConn football again imo
Sucks all around. Awful.Fat Drunk and Stupid said:
Now THAT is good trivia.USC scheduling a 2021 game against UC Davis.
Leaves UCLA and Notre Dame as the only programs that never have scheduled/played an FCS team.
I think @Native is a UGA guy if I'm not mistaken.This has worked multiple times before so imma try again — anybody have any inroads to Georgia football tickets? I’m trying to go to that Notre Dame - UGA game but don’t want to deal with stubhub.
I might. Wife's family has had season tickets since the program started (not kidding). I can ask. Though they all hate ND, so they'd probably want some sort of blood written letter of assurance that you are NOT a ND fan....I'll get back to you.This has worked multiple times before so imma try again — anybody have any inroads to Georgia football tickets?

Wow thanks!! FSU fan so we share Gator hate and definitely not a ND fan. This will be a repeat trip for us since we enjoyed Athens so much in 2016.The Commish said:I might.

College tickets are surprisingly much harder than Pros, even in larger venues...bigger every game bases + bands + the students + public FOIA type concerns and generally just less corporate access. We specifically lost an UGA deal and ND is...ND. I’ll ask around though Cap! That is a monster game in a top 10 college town!@gump usually seems to be at these big games too.

Training camps a p5 schools is SERIOUS BUSINESS.Love that all of the conference media days are going on this week.
Nothing like building momentum for the season six weeks before any of the games kick off.
