I was a little surprised Purdue's early entrants stayed on the board as long as they did. I saw a mock last fall of Karlaftis going 5th overall...he went 30th. Others had David Bell going in the second round; the Browns finally took him in the fourth. 

 

I wonder if they just had bad days at the combine or if they were a by-product of the Jeff Brohm hype machine.

Ohio State president Kristina Johnson has been named to the College Football Playoff’s Board of Managers. She replaces Penn State president Eric Barron on the board of managers as the Big Ten Conference representative.

 

Well good. Now, finally Ohio State will stop getting screwed by th... never mind.  :(

Bell did not test well at all at the combine.

Typical NCAA.  Going after powerhouses like Air Force while UNC, Kansas, Duke and 90% of the SEC skate.

Without changing their schedule this year, the Pac-12 has basically eliminated the need for divisions by having the 2 teams with the highest conference winning percentage meet in the Pac-12 title game. The B1G can't follow suit (and subsequently blow up divisions) quickly enough.

Nick Saban firing both barrels.  But are Nick's recruiting hands that clean?  Inquiring minds want to know. https://www.on3.com/college/alabama-crimson-tide/news/nick-saban-continues-criticism-schools-recruiting-with-nil-calls-out-deion-sanders-jackson-state/

lol. Lost his leverage just like Calipari and all the other cheaters.  Still going to compete at the top, just going to have to pay market value.  I think it’s hilarious hearing all the cheaters upset about NIL deals.

It's like a Will Wade/Bill Self cage match.

Translation: NIL isn't working out all that well for 'Bama and the head coach sees the writing on the wall that other schools in their own division have deeper booster pockets and are serious threats.

Mountain West has followed suit and gotten rid of divisions as well.

Enough of Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game.  Divisions be damned.
