    It is an unsustainable model. It's more of the wild west than it was before.

    The NCAA went from an enforcement model with outdated rules to pretty much no guardrails. They've lost control.

    If the head coach has devolved into what is described above, maybe the next step is an assistant who is more of an "offensive coordinator" like in pro football.
    Then the head coach can actually have the time to manage those other things.
    Whatever, I don't like what's happened. Too unstructured.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    It's really spun out of control (especially with college football). It seems a NIL $$ cap would even the playing field a bit but would the courts go along? If not, college sports becomes MLB and the big money rules all.

    I have to agree 100% with this. I don’t begrudge the players some freedom or compensation, but the result is a product I care much less about. Some reasonable restraints need to be found, or I’ll just stop caring.

    The issue is not big money rules all. For one, that has always been the case in college athletics and two, there has never been more parity in college football than right now. The issue is fixing the portal. I like the ability to transfer at least once without sitting out but maybe (if allowed legally) it should be capped at that or at least fix some of the timing issues with the portal and when you can and cannot enter.

    Trip the other team every possession. Apparently it is not a foul.

    Hey that white haired ref that we seem to have every year for multiple years had a Christmas party he was late for. He didn't have time for OT

    The one and only Brian "Charge" O'Connell.

    Blows his whistle non stop all game every game and then swallows it on that. Ridiculous.

    I have seen the highlight and the picture of that play from what would have been the trailing refs point of view. Its simply effing incredible he swallowed his whistle....the marquette player is basically doing the splits and trips Conwell. Insanity
