Head Coach PJ Fleck stated that he wanted "to keep things inside the best I possibly can keep things inside, with the way college football is changing," Fleck continued. "And then being able to have our fans be able to understand the changing of college football, the changing of college athletics. I think we have a Dinkytown Athletes practice that will be open to Dinkytown members. I want our fans, and urge our fans, to be a part of Dinkytown Athletes, which is going to give you a chance to be part of more things that we do."

Dinkytown indeed. Fleck isn't interested in watching his players audition for the Portal this spring. Could this work?

He’s not wrong - until there is some collective agreement to limit player movement- we are kidding ourselves to think college football is even close to how great the game was pre 2020… I’m an Ohio State guy - but I’ll take 15 straight years of SEC Champs or whatever it was if we could get rid of NIL and immediate transfer- only practical solution is to limit player movement through some collectively bargained agreement

Shouldn’t the conference step in and force him to have a spring game. It’s something they televise, do they not?

Fleck is a mega-douche with his quarter zip and tie look

Spring games are glorified practice and an excuse for fans to tailgate.
