Losing its a$$ in court almost every day you'd think the NCAA might have bigger issues to worry about. The NCAA will mandate that players must cover up their skin from the waist down, similar to the NFL rules. This will come into effect immediately for the 2026 season I guess they don't want all those viewers getting all hot and bothered seeing stomachs. Stuff like this is kinda stupid.

Proposed Rule Changes The dress code rule is absurd. They must of been upset with Ponds' look. lol. I like the fair catch rule and wasn't aware that rule was not in college football. I just assumed it was. It's one of those bizarre rules that makes coaches look like geniuses when applied. Targeting. Man, it 100% needs tweaking. It's good they're trying to do just that. Quote

Pagoda Posted March 1 Posted March 1 It would be kinda funny if a player sued the NCAA so they can wear their jerseys however they want. Just to annoy the NCAA. Maybe some lawyer will do it pro bono for the love of the game (game being taking the NCAA to court). Home Jersey 1 Quote

Pagoda Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Definitely a red flag if your athletic dept writes a whitepaper. Quote

I would have thought they had more funds, but talking to several alumni with connections, they say they were middle of the pack in the ACC last year in terms of football spending. They did increase fundraising for this year, but still have trouble competing with top of conference and certainly not anywhere close to Big Ten or SEC schools. jermhoosierfan, skhoosier2 and Alford Bailey 3 Quote

From what I understand the ACC tv deal is structured in such a way that there are winners and losers. Schools like Wake Forest and Boston College see less compared to Clemson and Miami. I think it's a new revenue-sharing model where incentive payouts happen based on tv ratings and performance. If I were pulling any strings I'd do what FSU did and threaten to leave the conference with the hopes of either the Big Ten or SEC welcoming the Cards. UofL would be a nice addition to either conference and the ACC would take a pretty big hit with them leaving. BtownStrength and skhoosier2 2 Quote

Pagoda Posted March 12 Posted March 12 It's probably the beginning of the end for the Clearinghouse. Some Nebraska NIL deals were denied and now they're going through the process to challenge the rulings. Not too surprising. It's very hard to stop players from getting paid what people are willing to pay them. Quote

Lebowski Posted Friday at 03:14 PM Posted Friday at 03:14 PM Fair catch kick rule is now in effect. It was only in the NFL and high school. The rule allows a team to kick after a completed or awarded fair catch. The kick will be a FG place kick with a holder or a drop kick from the spot where the returner caught the ball. Targeting rule change as well. The nuts and bolts of it is suspension time. 1st time offenders the player is disqualified for the remainder of the current game but is allowed to play the next game. 2nd time offenders the player is disqualified for the remainder of the current game and first half of the next game. 3rd time offenders the player is disqualified for the remainder of the current game and miss the entire next game. Conferences can appeal a 2nd offense to the NCAA which can include a review of the 1st offense. Offensive pass interference rule change. OPI is reduced from a 15-yard penalty to 10 yards. Quote
