No idea if this is accurate, but assuming it’s not negotiable it would certainly seem prohibitive.

FSU make some calls to Coach Prime and Jameis Winston for that kind of cash?

Burt Reynolds left his Smokey and the Bandit residuals to FSU in his will. That should cover about half.

Heard from Duke and UNC trustees that they are keeping close tabs on how the FSU lawsuit turns out.  Wondering if they should bail if FSU leaves. I’ll leave it at that.

These two, plus UVa, would be better B1G fits than SEC ones. FSU’s ACC GOR lawsuit shakeout will also impact non-football Notre Dame sports…would not be totally shocked if the outcome is a 24 team B1G with those additions on down the road.

If Harbaugh goes back to the NFL after the season, looks as if Brian Kelly-to-Ann Arbor rumors are picking up a bit of steam.

No way I’d hire Brian Kelly at a big time program. He isn’t good enough to win a NC and will leave at the drop of a hat.

Conner Bazelak(sp?) is playing Minnesota right now.  Just threw a TD pass.  Bowling Green up 7-0.

Guaranteed Rate Bowl — Kansas has 17 penalties through three quarters.

Guess KU and violating rules go hard in hand, LOL!

Thanks SMU just lost out on 40 confidence points with that loss to Boston College.

Probably needed to stay in my lane but even without watching much college football everyone should beat Boston College.  Guess I should of put a lower number for that game

Even at an 11am start time at a venue a cab drive from BC's campus. Yes.

On a similar note, look alive 'The U'.

Uh, Ohio St’s QB in this Bowl game is wearing #33. I know their starting QB transferred, but, hell, did all of their QB’s transfer?

It was only a short few months ago that there was a legit camp battle between this kid and McCord. Brown ended up being the backup all year I’m pretty sure saw some snaps against us.

I’ve barely watched any of the bowl games this year as players opting out (and 5-7/6-6 teams in bowls) has really diminished my interest. Florida State has 20 players opting out of today’s game which makes the matchup vs. Georgia pretty worthless.

Looking forward, however, to the 3 playoff games.

Agree it’s become a joke. Many times not the same team that played the regular season.

6-6 is pretty normal. Kind of the magic number. Problem is there are so many bowl games now. That's why James and Jacksonville State were both allowed to go bowling this year and a team like Minnesota at 5-7 was allowed.
