I heard that Cormani was blown away by the amount of bathrooms near the Gators practice field.
I will wait also. But my comments will be made on the Spurrier of the moment.
Thank gawd someone has finally branched out on the puns.
It was risky, much to lose and not much to Gainesville.
The gate, er…the whole security fence was wide open, so you know we had to try.
I'm chomping at the bit!
Hopefully he goes full Hogtown in Gainesville. But I think the Devil’s Millhopper in the details of his daily efforts.

I just figured y’all could use some links to see just how much of a Skeeter’s big biscuit those puns are.
Hogtown, Florida - Wikipedia
Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park
This National Natural Landmark has attracted curious visitors since the 1880s. This unique geological feature in the midst of the sandy North Florida terrain contains a miniature rainforest with gentle streams trickling down the sinkhole's 120-foot limestone walls.

I have so many questions about this edit, I’m not even sure where to start.
Their NIL collective is notorious for stiffing or short paying people. Great deal if he gets the money!
Good point.... it seems NIL could make the scholarship limit nearly irrelevant.
One point... I do recall during COVID that some conferences had rules that a team had to field a certain number of SCHOLARSHIP players or forfeit. I'm not clear if there are any other rules and policies that make similar distinctions between scholarship players and walk ons that could be a limiting factor towards NIL replacing scholarships.
No it doesn't walk ons do not have the same privileges as scholarship players
Please elaborate. What privileges? Are these privileges granted and rescinded by the NCAA, conferences or the individual schools?
Believe it’s NCAA but has to do with allowed meals, tutoring, etc.
Spent five minutes googling and found nothing on this. TIA if you can post any links to credible sources.
edit: giving some reflection, it's a real kick in the face for the NCAA to say to walk-ons: "not only do you have to pay your way, but we're going to limit your access to food and academic support as well", especially in pre-NIL days. I mean, that's just harsh.

As I recall all those rules disappeared after CU was punished for letting walkons eat like scholarship players.
I remember there used to be some crazy rules like maybe you could let a walkon have a bagel, but it was an NCAA violation if you gave him a packet of cream cheese to go with it.
TIA if you can post links to any credible sources on this topic. Seeing a lot of "I recall.... I believe... " on this topic; Corey is the only one posting definitive statements and he doesn't have any sources (yet).
per my edit above, it seems really cold blooded for the NCAA to limit access to food and academic support for players who already have to fund their own education. not to suggest the NCAA hasn't been cold blooded, but, damn!
CU football was penalized by the NCAA for providing food to walk-ons about 20 years ago. That's what people remember. We also remember that CU self reported and accepted a penalty (scholarship reduction iirc). Soon after, tOSU got reported for the same thing, fought the NCAA, and the NCAA decided to change the rule and not penalize them.
thanks
reading up on this, meals are and were an allowable part of scholarships, but CU was giving walk-on's the same meals as athletes but only charging them for normal student dorm rates. the NCAA considered that the same as undercharging for tuition and viewed it as an attempt to get around the scholarship limit by giving walk-on's those benefits. I guess that's aligned with what the NCAA was trying to accomplish with scholarship limits back in the day -- they weren't saying the walk-on's couldn't eat the same meals, they were just saying walk-on's had to pay (full price) for them like other non-scholarship students.
and I'm totally guilty of being a lazy ****
