Very interesting read...

I do miss the BCS. But I miss the old fashion bowl system more.
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.

With all that’s going on in College Athletics currently I’ve been asking myself how did it get from college kid’s competing in athletics to where it finds itself nowadays………. In the courtrooms pleading cases and in both State and Federal Legislatures begging for legislation, and even more perplexing is, who’s in charge, who are and who were the decision makers?????

I’m beginning to believe it’s been a moving target. I got a chuckle when Charlie Baker handed out a ‘starting point’ document at a meeting and Greg Sankey, who didn’t know beforehand, demanded to know ‘How come I’m just now finding out about this?’……..
