I don't think 2 hours is enough to really make a difference with anything is it??
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Sports Betting Establishments and Gamblers……… taking and making bets until kickoff, all you need is a Cell Phone.

Sports Betting can change the spreads and the Gamblers can hedge….. :wink:

They used to do availablity reports, then there were privacy issues. I guess the sports betting powers must be more important than the privacy of the players now that they get paid.

……… well, since the TV Guys have been granted access, influence and representation within in the Governing Bodies and Committees of College Athletics it’s only fair that the Gambling Guys be represented too. :roll:

I wonder what could be next???? WAIT!!!! I’VE GOT A GREAT IDEA!!!!!! How about we scrap the BAND’S HALFTIME SHOW AND HAVE POLITICIANS GIVE PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SPEECHES ON THE JUMBOTRONS!!!!!!! :idea: :idea: :idea:

The Sports Betting Guys have been busy, guess what else is on their agenda…. They obviously have someone’s ear.

I wonder where and how those ‘student athletes’ will get the money to gamble with??? Back in my day it came in a brown paper bag, but nowadays pre-paid credit cards are all the rage.

Is it just me or does it seem like most of the people making these decisions have absolutely ZERO scruples. They are what an old pastor of mine used to call "morally bankrupt"??

Don't like the rules because they interfere with you making money? Get rid of them. Easy.
