Players like him are why It's better to use the portal in general instead of paying guys who never produced at the college level.

I believe Nick Saban said basically the same thing. . . He wouldn’t pay a high school player coming into college the big bucks they wanted. Hindsight says he was correct.

Elko bet on Reed, but Reed ain't it, but unfortunately he's all we have for this year. Hope the OC can figure a way to scheme around Reeds limitations.

Many Gamecocks feel the same way about Beamer/Sellers(QB). Both Reed and Sellers have regressed and both coaches are “all in” on them. Your observation about figuring out a way to scheme around their shortcomings is spot on.

Did former OC Mike Shula leave South Carolina on good terms ?

Funny man. When your team needs a new HC, you can beat that drum for Shula.

:mizzou:

I totally get what he’s saying and agree. Good for him for having the fortitude to say what he did. Kansas should be embarrassed.

I do agree though LSU made them look like a peewee football team.

A thing of beauty!

The notion that the SEC has some smoking gun they are saving for later is hilarious to me.

And yet, what other explanation is there for this display of sanctimonious discipline?

It can’t be Sankey vs Kiffin. This action involves university administrators, and they seem to be at the forefront of this circus.

So, what has LSU done to deserve the attention of all the universities? I realize all the universities voted to exclude NFL (and WNBA/NBA) players but LSU hasn’t added any to my knowledge.

Also, there’s been a vague charge of “lack of institutional control” which purports that politicians have too much control. However, that could be said of many public universities.

Help me out. I just don’t get it. There has to be something else behind all this expulsion talk.

South Carolina is really challenging itself the first two weeks.

And LSU is terrified at playing Louisiana Tech and . . . wait for it. . . McNeese (high school?).

At least LSU plays Clemson every 10 years or so while USC has them on their schedule every year. Even when Klempson was good.

Dude tried to weasel into a loophole and get nfl players to sue to play, they’re having to fix it and you want people to thank him?

---

Not to belabor the point but someone was going to try recruiting NFL players at some point. Kiffin just happened to be the first. He forced the conferences/universities to finally take a stand against it—so, yes, you can thank him.

The conferences/universities could have made the ruling much sooner but were probably just waiting so it could all play out.

LSU isn’t stupid. And, two “alumni” said it . . . it will take a lot more than that to convince anyone it’s true but, hey, good try at trolling.

Now, let’s play football! Go LSU! Beat Klempson!!

Ahhhh the ole 3D Chess defense.

I don’t pretend to defend Kiffin. However, I’m also looking at the reality of college football as it stands and realizing the sooner these issues are met, the sooner we’ll get rules in place.

Kiffin, being true to his personality, simply backed the universities into making a decision they should have made long ago.

No, not with altruistic motives but Kiffin DID force the conferences to lay down the rules. So, in a sense, he helped college football by backing the universities into making a decision.

The question becomes, “Why didn’t the conferences/presidents/ADs do this sooner?” It’s not like they live in a vacuum. They knew the potential for NFL players to return to college sports was there.
