The last group to sign off on it should be this afternoon.  Will this apply to basketball also?  LSU just signed Luis who was literally traded from Utah to Boston and went, Nah.  The conferences need to save the coaches from themselves.  I heard on the radio at lunch that the SEC is now looking into the same rule along with the ACC.  

Lane Kiffin was on McAfee today.  Someone needs to save us all from him.  He's a ******.

ESPN’s 1st entirely too early mock draft of the season. Both IU receivers in Rd 1  with Becker in the top 10.

Just wild. Especially because I think Marsh is an all-around better (higher ceiling may be the correct word) player than Becker, and that's no knock on Charlie. I am so excited to see Marsh running routes for someone not named Aiden Chiles. It's going to be a show.

Looks like they forgot Carter Smith…

Yeah, it feels like Marsh is being slept on pretty good even by IU fans. Can’t stop thinking that he’s gonna be kind of  freaking dominant.

I have read/heard some “experts” saying he’s most likely an interior lineman and not a tackle.  That could be one reason he’s not listed here.

He would most likely be a 1st rounder at IOL. Probably the #1 C in the draft if he made the switch in college. As is, he will probably still go in the first 2 rounds but lots to play out.

That’s certainly a possibility.

The 1st name on their list has been mentioned around here once or twice.

It's funny that when our run game is mentioned its Turbo and Khobe.  Everyone also sleeping on Lee who arguably would have been our #1 back last season if he didn't get hurt.  I think all 3 have great seasons.  Looking forward though to seeing how Khobe continues to improve this season.  He flashed so much last year in the opportunities he did receive.  He was one I was worried about leaving when they brought in Turbo.  I am glad he stayed and think he will be an NFL back in a few years.

Any idea on how long that plays out?

He didn’t say.  But obviously not as fast as  Louisiana

Appears the SEC will NOT challenge the latest ruling so Lane Kiffin is going to play NFL guys that were playing in preseason but don’t have a team so they are back in college. Meanwhile guys that had no shot at the NFL due to injury or otherwise that would have stayed a 5th year are in a wait and see holding pattern. Make it make sense?

This is so screwed up... and everyone saw it coming, especially when the "pay for play" bastardization of NIL made it more lucrative to stay in/go back to college vs getting a job in the real world.
