"Not over"......Thamel reporting that the NCAA had 740+ similar appeals last year & only 20+ were successful .Not good odds.
Just FWIW, that was a Big 10 crew. But regarding that no call on that last pass, was the ball catchable? Just asking.

Unless memory is faulty, pretty sure he's making $20M a year.

re: Saban to the Dolphins

The Miami sports press still detests him, based on the way Saban treated them. They collectively had a huge party the nite he left. On his first day as the new HC, he closed the new multi million dollar media complex as he demanded that all the press go through his office.
That was him, harrasing some trick or treaters; that video showed his temper at its worst.
Joey is the only former Skip's player who has never returned for a team reunion. He made his bed, much like Barry Bonds did. His biggest problem is his temper, it's / was off the wall. There's an old video showing him chasing a cab down the street, cursing like a drunken sailor.
"The NCAA won't allow....." The NCAA has no authority over anything to do with college sports anymore. Nor the guts. At the first whiff of a lawsuit, it runs & hides. What really sucks about all this is that these "agents" do not have to be certified like they do to represent pro players. In the current scene, these outlaws could care less about any "rules", let alone what is best for either the athletes or the schools.
The NCAA has zero power anymore, let alone the ability to enforce / punish any member. Agents are running collegiate sports now. NIL contracts are not like a standard contract between a company & an employee, as players are not considered employees. Hate it but this is college sports now.
Caught a Wash. podcast & they said no money has been paid yet to Williams.
Caught a Wash. podcast & they are blaming the NCAA as the main bad guys, not really CLK. Claimed that if Williams has been offered $5-6M by LSU & Wash, is going to match it ( unknown for now),that would constitute nearly 41% of Wash. NIL money. In comparison, Prescott of the Cowboys, percentage wise, is getting 35% of the Cowboys' cap money. They have no information as to where he's going to land.
The NCAA has zero enforcement powers any more. It's scared to death over even a sniff of lawsuits. Agents / attys are now running college sports. O.Miss has allowed LSU coaches to be in its athletic dept. surrounded by its players. Do you really think former LSU RB coach Frank Wilson, now employed by O. Miss, has not been talking to some of his former LSU players?
"Need to let Kiffin decide"......early on several podcasts were saying Leavitt was Kiffin's first choice out of all the portal QB's. FWIW.
I'll pull just as hard for the Black Bears as they would for us. Pull for the team whose administration was threatening to file tampering charges against LSU?
The Aussie govt. during COVID developed camps where those who disagreed with govt.'s policies were incarcerated, whole families locked down. Australia is running neck & neck with England's semi authoritarian govt. Both have laws where "thinking" is a hate crime.
Last year TT's biggest money man put up $4-5 for an OL, getting him from one of the big boys in college football. Obviously Lubbock was not a factor.
"The one who sold Maduro out......." The CIA was in the country for mths, documenting where Maduro was when. Rodriguez had nothing to do with any of this.
Let's take American politics out of this discussion. Why is the entire population there so happy & extensively thanking POTUS Donald Trump? The CIA was there for mths, according to several media outlets, & it was American forces who planned this. BUT, totally ignored by liberals is that as he was leaving office, your false POTUS, Sleepy Joe Biden, who placed a $2M bounty of this thug.
CLK has been at LSU for close to one mth. You have no idea how the portal works vs regular recruiting.
Hate is such a huge waste of time & energy, double so when considering what this subject is all about. Chill.
"Too many betrayals"? I'll give you his leaving UT but what others specifically? That you & the liberal media feel so strongly about him is a positive dynamic for those of us who take the approach that who/whatever the media is against, we are for. And it's O.Miss who is keeping him from continuing to coach the team, not CLK. As well, you know very little about the whole story about his leaving bama.
A repeat question: are these coaches getting paid by O.Miss & LSU (per their contracts with LSU)?
