It’s freedom, but it’s the kind of freedom where wile e coyote is currently running full speed off a cliff. I’m feeling thrilled but we gotta get a great oc before we look down and hire like, some has been nfl assistant or something
People running college football have noticed that games take too long (because of incessant commercials) so they have a plan to reduce the amount of football, thus making the commercial:actual football ratio even less tolerable.
Probably going to remove the clock stoppages after first downs rules, which sure fine whatever, but also considering it for incomplete passes.
EDIT: Happier change would be banning timeouts after timeouts.

But only outside of like the last X minutes of a half?
Sean Snyder, son of Bill Snyder, a kicker at KSU and a coach or otherwise involved with the KSU football team for 25 years has been hired as the special teams coach for Kansas. I kind of want to be offended by that. Every other year he's going to be at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on the opposing sideline wearing a jayhawk. That is upsetting!
Like I honestly thought it was an early April fool's joke
Yeah, me he had been gone for a bit. Two years at USC and then Illinois. I was happy for him at the time. Our special teams were generally among the best under him and he deserved more opportunities.

Apparently Kevin Warren fucked up the Big Ten TV deal something fierce.
Negotiated the title game to NBC in 2026 without the authority to do so, so the conference has to pay Fox 40 million. Warren also failed to tell NBC that the conferences' marquis schools refuse to play night games in November (because it's the fucking midwest and it's fucking cold enough during the day) so now they're kind of pissed that they're going to have to show the teams that are still willing and not Michigan/Ohio State/Penn State. Though I guess OSU made an allowance to let this year's Michigan State game be at night as a compromise. Michigan is unwilling to make such a compromise thus far.
Sounds like he didn't realize that technically BTN (Fox majority owners) has rights to everything and subcontracts it out to the other networks for all the moneys. So Fox has the Big Ten title game by default.

I mean, the other stuff is dumb, but this isn't exactly something that is super top secret. That's as much on NBC for not doing the fucking due diligence on it as it is on him.

Telling them they would have those things without clearing it with the schools is bad comissioning.
But he was always a useless hack, as are most of these corporate executive types.

How dare you talk about the greatest commissioner I’ve ever known like this!
BTW Michigan won the EDSBS Charity Bowl again. 900k raised among all schools for Atlanta area refugees. A&M finished second because of a single 50k donor, which is the most A&M thing.

I'm seeing it being on Black Friday. On one hand that's money out of my pocket because I would normally be doing the screening for Penn State on the way out but on the other hand now I don't have to stay up late and be back at the airport early next morning
It was really funny when Alex on szd was talking about the Spencer hall golf thing, and he pronounced the pants jay en see o’s and Stephen was like wtf

Yeah I wrote it wrong, Friday after Thanksgiving, not before.

I got angry in my car when I heard that and almost DM’d Alex about it but held off.

Big Ten went with protecting some rivalries but not a set number for each team. They're interesting:
Michigan/Ohio State (duh)
Michigan/Michigan State
Minnesota/Wisconsin
Minnesota/Iowa
Wisconsin/Iowa
Nebraska/Iowa
Maryland/Rutgers
Indiana/Purdue
Illinois/Purdue (because engineering?)
Illinois/Northwestern
USC/UCLA
Notably PSU has no protected rivalries at all. Also they and MSU are the only ones who don't usually play Thanksgiving weekend in one of these games (M/OSU, Minnesota/Wisconsin, Iowa/Nebraska, Maryland/Rutgers, Indiana/Purdue, Illinois/Northwestern, UCLA/USC) so they get that week off? Or continue to play each other or some cupcake. Also divisions removed, two best records play at the end. I would imagine that's usually USC and the Michigan/OSU winner.
Also the grand tradition of new schools playing Michigan continues. We get both USC and UCLA in their first year in conference.
2023 is our last year of cupcake scheduling. 2024:
Fresno
Texas
Arkansas State
Big Ten Home:
Maryland, MSU, Minnesota, UCLA, Wisconsin
Big Ten Road:
Illinois, OSU, Rutgers, USC

So Deion is leaning* towards having his foot amputated ASAP so his whole thing about one day possibly needing his foot amputated doesn’t happen during the season
That’s the kind of commitment you can expect at Colorado
Eh depends. Without a need to fill out random credit hours tanking AP and honors credits, I could absolutely see a home school GPA being super high legitimately. Hell, most of my AP classes in high school wound up giving me less time intensive busy work than the few regular classes because the teachers actually gave us focused, relevant stuff to study instead of just trying to overload us in the hopes we just got so much some of it stuck. I would have killed to have been able to skip a few more regular classes (seriously, my high school Health class was routinely my most time intensive one when I took it the same year I had AP Physics and Calc).
But would I expect such a person to be debating between two SEC schools? Probably not.
I know I'm old and shit, but back in my day it was 4 points for an A, 5 for an AP or Honors A. How the fuck are we getting to 5.34? What's the 6 pointer? Double secret AP honors?

Something is very fishy about this whole story
