"It's not murder." No, it's not. If it were murder, Cody Campbell would sue to have the murderer reinstated because he is a serial killer addicted to murder, and he's trying to get better. Lesson - If you're a CFB player placing bets on CFB games, including bets on your team, bet a lot to assure addiction status. Everything's bigger in Texas, including the male bovine excrement.

They don't play Notre Dame any longer, but they did have to drag some guy in from South Bend to help the $10 million man recruit. If Coach AI calls the plays, will the missing Linc take a pay cut? Will Avatar athletes have to be paid? Will they suffer CTE or ever tear an ACL? Will they ever commit a penalty? What happens when an irresistible force of Avatars on offense meets an immovable defense of Avatars? Will Avatar attorneys arise to sue the ACAA? Will Avatar athletes have to be coached, or simply have their soft (or whatever) ware upgraded? Will the Heisman Trophy go to the top programmer? Or, will Avatars learn to upgrade on they/them/its/their own? Will fans watching avatars still want to Shout? What happens if an Avatar places a wager on his own team? The 19th hole is in sight, thank goodness.🙃

The Nebraska AD, with the support of the school's president, will not schedule Texas Tech in any sport. Georgia has also taken this approach. What if fate has Texas Tech with Sorsby at QB, matching up with Georgia in the CFB playoffs? How about Texas Tech in the same bracket as Nebraska in the CBB tournament? Much closer to home, Texas Tech is scheduled to play a football game against OBD in Austin in 2033. A game with ties to Rob Mullens being on the CFB PO committee with Tech AD Kirby Hocutt. Cancel? Let the dust settle? BTW, the four judges on the appeals court in Texas that will hear the NCAA's appeal of the lower court's decision are all graduates of Texas Tech Law School. And Texas Tech mega-booster Cody Campbell is the poster guy for the Cruz-Cantwell Bill that would prevent the Big Ten and the SEC from expanding and possibly being required to collectively negotiate media deals with the 'Group of 8.' Nothing in the Bill refers to or deals with gambling on sports. Campbell blames the state of CFB for this fiasco, not Texas Tech, of course. The only possible good news is that this decision could lead to a collectively bargained agreement with college athletes. But it's so one-sided in favor of the athletes today that there might have to be a lockout to bring the athletes to the table.

Show me the money, Jerry! Jerry McGuire wouldn't make it as an "agent" in this environment.

Hell of a Settlement - 😧- And UGA President Morehead, you need better lawyers - Will this stuff ever stop? https://sports.yahoo.com/college-sports/article/class-action-lawsuit-filed-against-ncaa-power-conferences-and-college-sports-commission-over-house-settlement-211641425.html

I think and hope that a 'commissioner' of a super league could make a ruling, including vacating wins, regarding player eligibility, etc., and the 'aggrieved program' would not hire a lawyer(s) and race to a local, elected judge to stay the ruling. I expect any such ruling would be subject to an appeal to a review board, which could limit third-party judicial intervention. The penalty for litigating after a commissioner's ruling is upheld by a review board should be draconian, including expulsion from the Super League. Cody Campbell is the spokesperson for the Protect Whatever Act? I haven't seen this kind of hypocrisy since Miami AD Paul Dee, whose own house was a raging inferno, called in a 10-alarm fire to hose down a campfire at USC. The Cruz and Cantwell Bill is the Group of 8 vs. the Power 2. Enough of the denial from Sankey and Petitti. Take the next logical step in a business that is form vs. substance amateur in nature and form a Super League, with university leaders ready to call what players being paid are, 'employees', and enter into a CBA with the athletes. Cut no existing B1G and SEC member teams, and do no poaching of any other teams, including the Domers, before existing media agreements with ND and other conferences expire. Then, respond to those seeking Super League membership. If you build it, they will come. Do not attempt to renegotiate with Fox and ESPN before the respective media deals expire. Fulfill existing OOC game agreements and conference champ game agreements. Fulfill 12-team PO obligations until the ESPN broadcast deal expires. Where's the antitrust violation(s)? Yes, the Super League would have strong market power, but not monopoly power. Consolidation by the Power 2 would not terminate existing broadcast agreements with other conferences. The ACC, B12, and the G6 million-dollar media agreements would not be affected. Nothing would prevent the other eight conferences from consolidating as they so decided. Strike now before Cody Campbell, Nick Saban (?), Judge Roy Bean, and the government come to the rescue.

I echo, it's good to have David Marsh and his articles back. Good comments all and fantastic research by AnotherOD. In this so-called playoff, which is really a Disney/ESPN Bowl Extravaganza, the format is weighted in favor of teams located in the Southwest and the Southeast. Two of the host bowls are in the West, the Rose and Fiesta Bowls. The other four bowls are played East of the Rockies in states where the SEC has a team, and also closer to schools in the East and the Midwest. The distance from Bloomington, Indiana, to Atlanta, Georgia is 514 miles. 2,611 miles from Eugene to Atlanta. How many Oregon fans, especially the students, could afford to travel to Miami, then Atlanta, and then to Miami if the Peach Bowl had been won? With airfares and hotel prices jacked up. The 2026-27 playoff championship game will be played on January 25, 2027, in Las Vegas. The only time under the 12-team format that the championship game is scheduled to be played in the Pacific time zone. In every other season but 2026-27, five of the seven off-campus games will be played at least two time zones away from Eugene. Tony Petitti's PO format would provide some relief from travel, with eight home games in each of the first two rounds, and with a shorter bye and a home game for the top eight seeds. Considering where Oregon is located, the majority of the population living in the Central and Eastern time zones, the Rose Bowl insisting that the game has to be played on New Year's Day, SoFi having two NFL tenants, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas not being a permanent PO game site, as it should be, OBD, and every other team located in the Pacific and Mountain time zones better be ready to fasten their PO seat belts. Of course, if the D1 PO were managed by the NCAA like every other CFB PO, only the champ game would be played away from campus. As to AOD's point on conditioning, keeping the players healthy and rested has worked well for Curt Cignetti, who learned when coaching lower division teams that you could not risk the health of the best players on a talented-limited roster. 2026 is Dan's 5th season. Ryan Day and Kirby Smart won their first titles in their sixth season. Keep on knocking, and there will be a positive answer.

AMEN! SIBrendan Sorsby Ruling Shows There Are No Rules Left for C...The NCAA’s bylaws are clear, and yet the Texas Tech quarterback’s admitted gambling will not prevent him from playing this fall thanks to a court’s decision.

Judge Roy Bean is alive and well. Are you spitting me? Yes, officer, I had too much to drink, and I was swerving and driving 110 mph, but it's not my fault, I'm an alcoholic! You can't send me to jail! I'll go back to AA, I promise. People who had no intention of following the terms and conditions of the House settlement paid hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees instead of seeking another alternative. Why? To keep the mammary glands on the NCAA bull alive. But this just in, the NCAA did punish North Dakota State for tampering. Time for Atlas to shrug? Everyone goes D3. Or, the B1G and the SEC say so long to the NCAA, at least for football and men's basketball. But what makes anyone think that programs that refused to follow NCAA rules would follow Power 2 rules? Texas Tech's Cody Campbell is going to save college football, right? Make it 'fair' for everyone. After ignoring Sorby's contract with Cincinnati and turning a blind eye to a player gambling, gambling on his own team.

Far better effort. The team played hard all season. Keep knocking on the door, and one day it will open. Thanks again, Charles, for the terrific coverage of the Diamond Ducks.
