Curious to see how Mizzou reacts to not having a QB this year that will play in the NFL.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

Yup. The man stands up for his players.

Bet he wouldn't have said that to a male reporter.

Go James Madison!!!

Home to Gary Clark, Charles Haley, and Scott "wide left" Norwood.

I'm prob the only knows who knows JMU is, but gotta show respect to my alma mater.

They beat Virginia Tech last year.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

That's all that has been made public....so far.

what the U did still dwarfs everything

 

[EXOTICLEX]

The U can kiss their butts goodbye.

what the U did still dwarfs everything

No worse or different than what SMU did back in the day.

 

[The Josh]

If I was USC and Ohio State doesn't get at least what they did I'd be one pissed off school. It will show I think the NCAA was wanting to nail USC while they let Ohio State off easy. We all know Miami is gonna get hammered.

Come if you think your team doesnt cheat they either suck or your a blind fan.

And even teams that suck cheat a lot of the time.

He has. And a man wouldn't have wrote such a ____ty article. She is terrible. Obviously slept her way up.

Ah, this old debate again!

Sorry Ink.

Word.

I know they've got a fine undergraduate political science curriculum.

Not really, SMU was worse. ESPN 30 for 30 special showed that the governor of Texas and the SMU president were complicit in making payments to players.

Best to go ahead and get those out of the way IMO, then, you have the chance of ending the season on a high note by actually being in competitive games!

Honestly, I feel for smaller teams like that who fill in the schedules of powerhouse teams looking for a major bowl berth. But, they're reaping the financial reward of playing against the SEC teams of the world, so I don't feel too bad for them.

But that's the key. The money from those games will make up their football budget for the season.

Toughest schedule for the contenders = LSU.

Easiest schedule for the contenders = Oklahoma.

Easiest schedule for the pretenders = Boise St.

 

[karamazov80]

Possibly, but I think I heard somewhere that only a small handful of college football teams make profits at all? Maybe they just won't go as far in the "red."

 

[EXOTICLEX]

Uga made 30 million in profits last year. LSU does have a tough schedule.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Toughest schedule for the contenders = LSU.

Easiest schedule for the contenders = Oklahoma.

Easiest schedule for the pretenders = Boise St.

I'll agree on the last one.

Actually, most college football programs need sellouts to make a profit so they can pay for their non-revenue sports teams.

The Michigans and the Ohio States of the world depend heavily on football to cover their entire athletic budgets.

Ah, that makes sense. So most collegiate "athletic departments" don't turn profits, then. I was wondering how in ____ LSU could not be making a profit with football.

Yeah, how about Michigan packing in 108,000 for every home game.
