Soccer would really take off in America if they got rid of offsides. It would increase goal scoring and it would be fun watching fast breaks. It is such European rule, "no you are to successful by getting behind the defense". It prevents me from enjoying it more.

Why not just force a merger between the best programs in the big 12 & ACC and add Notre Dame. There is you 3rd big conference. About 60 teams split into three conferences of 20. Problem solved.

Wait until they sue to get into the SEC and the courts decide all college football conferences are cartels.

Stonewall Jackson was born in what is today West Virginia.

Wait until some judge says the Big-12 can not kick them out. Claim the Big-12 is a cartel which opens the door to all college sports conferences being broken up including the SEC and B10.

I can see it now: Dear LSU, I am WVU and do you want to play us next year....we have a bunch of open spots. The court in Waco said we have to play schools not in our own conference. I see you have a five open spots after some court in Michigan broke up the SEC. Do you want to play, Signed Wren Baker

The quote sounds a little like something Rich Rod would say?


:lol:

Even without the gambling problem, LSU and everyone else, still dodged a bullet. He never played well in big games.

He sucked so bad against WVU in 2024 that he nearly saved Neal Brown from getting fired. However it does make you wonder....did he really suck in that game so bad or did he go full Black Sox.

It will collapse if the SEC or B1G try to breakaway. but leave too many teams outside their new super league causing those schools to kick start antitrust lawsuits. Nothing ever good happens when CFB ends up in a courtroom so we can assume the court will rule the super league as a "cartel", Heck they might even rule that all college sports conferences are cartels.

Everyone will be an independent and Notre Dame will at last have their revenge.

Now of course the SEC and B1G could use some intelligence and make sure any school not in the SEC/B1G that has a reasonable large college football fanbase and history will be invited into the new super league. But does anyone think that will happen? Considering the SEC and B1G can't even agree on a playoff format, we may have two super leagues that refuse to play each other and both will still find a way to get sued.

High School players are cheaper overall. One alternative strategy is to sign 40 high school kids and then find 10-15 high end transfers out of portal. Some successful NFL teams do this with the draft. Then cut the previous years recruits who don't workout and keep the ones that do. It is a ruthless strategy, but it is a option for some teams.

Basically you only really need 53 players or so. Like the NFL. So spend most of your money on the 44 or so best players. The rest are projects and cannon fodder for practice.

Oregon is a team with lots of Jimmy's and Joe's who get too many backrubs, foot massages, and pretty color coordinated pedicures.

Somewhere Vince Lombardi approves a yearly arse whopping for a team like that.

Indiana has a 10 star HC.

That is all that matters...
