Every College with an Athletic Program in America

And the next round of realignment has started.

The Pac 2 is raiding the mountain west for Boise St, Fresno St, Colorado St & San Diego St.

Joining for 2026.

A couple of weeks ago some people on the interwebs got their panties in a wad because SFA drubbed an outmanned NAIA team 77-0 despite calling off the dogs midway through the 2nd quarter.

I wonder if those same folks are equally upset by South Alabama's manhandling of FCS school Northwestern State 87-10 last night? (Probably not...)

The bad joke that is NIL is starting to rear it's ugly head at UNLV. QB has led the team to 3-0 start, now saying he is not getting his NIL or that it was misrepresented to him. So he will now take his redshirt season and leave the team hanging----Translation is likely some other school has offered him more money so now he quits on UNLV, teammates and fans. No commitment, no concern, NO class.

This poor idea was only born to feed the rich schools. Don't understand the support for an idea that will help destroy college athletics.

Gee maybe we can start letting players transfer at halftime or at least every week.

There are so many reason for SFA NOT to go into FBS football. And to think I was a proponent, at one time. I'm not sure any more.

The NCAA needs to require all NIL deals to be in writing with a required amount of escrow.

The player says he was promised 100k by an assistant coach. The NIL collective says they never heard of this deal.

It's a mess that only clear contracts will clean up in the future.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. The combination of NIL and the transfer portal are destroying amateur athletics. It may be already beyond repair. Pandora's box.

In the Alabama vs. South Carolina game today, USC used their punter to attempt an onside kick near the end of the game. (Don't think I've ever seen a punter do that before.) It was perfectly done, and USC recovered. The spin on the ball was wicked. Maybe SFA can put that in their playbook.

UNBEATEN NO MORE!

0-6 Kennesaw State, a 27-point underdog, stuns 5-0 Liberty for its first-ever win vs. an FBS team 😳

Gonna be tough sledding across the board for he Texas teams. ACU might not have benched McIvor in the second half against us, many ACU fans noticed he was absent from the sidelines in the second half, possibly injured.


Tarleton seems to have peaked way too early in the season and just doesn't look like a playoff team right now.

I think we exposed UIW's weaknesses a bit, even with a backup QB. Containing their QB can make them very, very stoppable.
