You care to explain?


Scholarships are renewed on a year to year basis. LSU won't think twice about pulling a player's scholarship after 1 year for any number of reasons, including if a new recruit is taking his spot. We don't sign a player and give him 4 years of scholarship money, stipends, etc.

The OP is old enough to have followed football for 65 years and you want to lecture him? That man has probably forgotten more than you've learned so far.

Tell us you are in your early 20's without telling us.

That would do absolutely nothing besides giving another advantage to the "haves". A Sun Belt team or anything like that can't pay, small P5 teams can't pay. Just means the big teams can buy whoever they want. It would be like it is in European soccer where the rich teams buy whoever they want.

Sounds like something someone in their early 20s would say. Are you cosplaying as a crotchety old man on here or something?

Way to treat a loyal, diehard Tiger fan who honestly shared his opinion and feelings from the heart! It's a blessing to live a long life and gain wisdom by God's grace. You owe QB an apology but I doubt you're man enough to do so.

I want to agree with everything else you said, old-timer, but then you tag this on to the end of your rant.... WTF? Which Joe? Burrow? Or Biden?

Because either I appreciate your sense of irony and sarcasm ...

...or FFS take it to the Poli Board

LSU is guilty to a certain point because we have marketed ourselves as a trade school for the NFL. There is no cohesive program building going on. Just a bunch of independent contractors.

Sounds like your 14 now. QB, like many of us remember when you played with pain, didn't fake injuries. Just played the game. If you signed with LSU you stayed with LSU. If you signed with BAMA you stayed with BAMA. Didn't matter. Commitment mean something once upon a time.

That's an idea, but I don't think that's a good idea. That process would continue to push college football in the direction of "pay to play." And like an earlier poster said, it would add to the disparity between the "halves" and the "have nots". Kinda like that old Billie Holiday song says, "Thems that got shall get, thems that not shall lose....."
