The guy was just Barry Alvarez's puppet at Wisconsin. Arky should have done their homework.

Big words from a man who quit on his team in season..

You would think by now schools would have learned from the ones that have already messed this up. It's better to address these issues head on and quickly.

I wouldn't get discouraged. They've lost a lot of talent, then you factor in the craziness.. My money is they are way better next fall.

I agree.. I have loved Gameday for years, but these cats on Fox bring it every week.

To be honest, I don't watch that much ESPN. I do watch Gameday on Saturdays-but switch to big noon Saturday on Fox when it comes on. I find the analysis to be much better. Then I switch back to catch Corso's head gear pick..

Has Smart even shown he has the ability to develop elite QB talent? Sure Fields could have stayed, but is there anything to suggest he would have developed into the QB his is currently?

That's a point.. But what else can they do? In good weather do halftime outside?

You pretty much summed up the situation with your assessment "The Buckeyes are a great football team".. The B1G is at greater risk on not making the playoff cut than the 3 conferences who decided to start. A one L B1G has little to no shot at getting a playoff slot.. Meanwhile the SEC will have enough games played that a 1 L runner up still has a great chance.

If there was ever a year to say hey we'll even self impose a bowl ban, this would be it..

Probably not the year to be talking about the "strength" of the SEC.. See how things have looked thus far..

Only 4 SEC teams ranked in the Top 25.. Granted all 4 are in the top 10, but only 4 in the top 25..?

Urban is not going to waste his time with Texas. He runs his program, not boosters, so he won't put up with the booster bs or being told how many hours per week he has to spend on the longhorn network.. That factor alone will keep him clear of Texas.. Plus he already has generational wealth-so while more money is nice, it is not his main motivator at this point..

A&M (and Texas for that matter) are what happens when you let boosters make key hiring decisions..

It's the B1G, nobody came closer than 14 points to them last year.. That was Wisconsin the second time they played them. It is what it is. Can't really say the Big 12 is much more competitive, and the ACC isn't either. For Ohio State it's their original pre shut down conference schedule minus Iowa.. Does anyone really think it will make much of a difference to add Iowa back in their schedule?

Tom Mars has filed FOIA requests, but the B1G is dragging it's feet. They should have released everything upfront and moved on. The statement by their lawyer makes it seem very suspicious. Maybe there wasn't a vote, or maybe more presidents voted to opt out and are now worried about donors backing out when it becomes public.

The B1G decision was 100% politics.. Look at the Governor of Michigan's recent statements. If it were about safety-Kevin Warren's son wouldn't be playing at Miss St. Unfortunately it's the players, their families, and the fans who are paying the price.

May as well go out and have a good time.. They're going to take football away and blame you regardless..

They counted on players, and their families just rolling over.. Things like their commissioner's son playing at Miss St and approving intramural sports on campus may have been hidden back in the day.. But now in the age of the smart phone, and digital communications-not so much. They are going to have to answer sooner or later..

Dude.. UK is relevant in BB, if FB? Not so much..

You do know Ohio State players came out against B1G united pretty quickly..

Any real fan of CFB should be signing this..

It as much about liability as anything.

Liability is a b.. That said what info does the PAC 12, and B1G have that the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 don't, and vise versa? I get it, they are separate entities who compete with each other, but you'd think they be sharing this information with each other.

It's just a crappy year that keeps compounding. The NCAA is probably looking at the liability side of things.. It's a shame..

Looks like the ACC is starting to chip apart.. FSU, Syracuse.. Who knows about BC and Pitt??

This is going to be a major sucking chest wound.. As if it hasn't been already..

Really who cares? If they run the table, they will be in. Probably will get in if they only lose one, unless it's the ACC championship. My best guess is this year we are going to see ACC, B1G, SEC and Big 12 champions in the playoffs.. With only 10 games-that championship will have some weight..
