just more incomprehensible rationalizations from the committee giving the game away

Tommy Tuberville left recruits at dinner to take Cincinnati job Tommy Tuberville left recruits at the dinner table before taking the job at Cincinnati.

IDK that story off hand but like another former Cincy coach we know he went straight to sitting with recruits to a new job www.usatoday.com/story/gameon...

should’ve been vice versa w/ UM playing in its actual CCG & not getting the ACC sympathy bid but Jim Phillips thought he was clever & could get 2 bids by protecting a 2nd contender w/ their stupid tiebreakers. He’ll pay a longterm price in every future negotiation for such shortsighted thinking now

I am looking forward to watching Jim Phillips go through some things in every future negotiation. Incredibly shortsighted behavior, but that seems to be par for the course with that organization οΏΌ

100% no reason for an ND player to get injured while making money for ESPN. Sucks for the program & fans but ESPN made their choice & the team made theirs

have a HS friend -> IU college friend group chat who all got Colts season tickets instead of IUFB during our 2001-2005 college yrs & the joke that both teams can’t be good at the same time has not yet failed

I think they prob make a different decision in a day or 2 but not sure contracts allow for that so it is what it is. Sucks for program building but glad ESPN will not earn a cent off of us this post-season

down as the College Football Playoff (CFP) selection committee chairman amidst an investigation into unspecified allegations, leading to Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek taking over the CFP chair role and Rhoades' departure prompting Baylor to retain coach Dave Aranda despite a losing record.

prob not ideal that the committee chair got canned for an altercation with a player just to be replaced with the AD ND embarrassed into firing his own head coach 😬

I mean in reality it’s a business & ESPN pays them money for drama so it is what it is. They’ve just been pretty good up until now at getting the final answer right enough, this year was just a complete travesty thx to the worst committee yet, the ACC & ESPN’s ever present SEC & ACC Network biases
