College Football News, Rumor & Humor

Lack of enforcement doesn't absolve a party of duty to follow the law.

2015-2024 would beg to differ

 

[BuffWarHog]

This doesn’t make sense. You make the portal open after bowl games, but then the students can’t get to their new school in time for the spring semester.

 

[MtnBuff]

I suspect that the only way to stop losing in court is to have a setup that includes a player's association that can negotiate a CBA with a governing body that has actual authority.

Or the congress members from the college football dominated states get together and push through an anti-trust exemption that allows a governing body for college sports to set up a structure that would not be allowed under current law.

They could easily get almost a sweep of the senators from the P2 states plus a number of others. The congress members from the states where college football isn't a dominant factor aren't going to get worked up enough about it to block the legislation so it passes.

In the process they make compliance with Title IX much easier (count "competitive" cheer as a sport for gender numbers I.E.)

Is there a thread for the Shrine Bowl?

Where is Jimmy and Will at for most of this game?
Only see Lajontay

Will had the a nice back shoulder catch to the start the game. He was targeted once more shortly after. Haven't seen him since.

Jimmy hasn't seen a snap. I'm guessing he might be hurt

 

[Alfred91]

Why are SS2 and Jimmy listed as "DEP" on the Shrine Bowl roster? Or maybe more accurately, what does "DEP" even mean?

 

[Alfred91]

Shilo actually made a nice play to stop a runner short of the first down when it seemed inevitable that the guy would make it. It was a kind of play I didn't see him make much here the last couple of years.

He also had a really nice PBU.

I don't know if this is true or not.

 

[Alfred91]

I don't know if this is true or not.

I mean, if it is true, and a team tells you to sit out because they're going to draft you and they don't want you to risk it, you sit out.

Having said that, I hope Jimmy gets more interest than from a team that has a massive question mark at QB.

 

[Alfred91]

This is for @MtnBuff:

This is like something out of a movie

 

[SewallBeach]

According to inmate logs in Tarrant County, Texas, law enforcement booked Cook into the Lon Evans Corrections Center in Fort Worth early on Tuesday morning. Those charges against him included a pair of misdemeanors with theft as well as interfering with public duties. They have yet to post an amount for his bond on those at this time.

 

[INTHABUFF]

I suppose it was bound to happen eventually, but I am excited to none-the-less announce that I finally have something in common with a 5 star wide receiver. I too have been booked into custody at the Lon Evans correctional facility. I will spare you the details other than to say the fine folks at Billy Bob's in the Stockyards have little to no sense of humor.
