scrooster

I do believe that the mud ball is starting to roll downhill on her, and picking up rocks and boulders on the way.

Her days are numbered. You can tell by her look, her recents reactions, and the building chorus of calls against her in high places.

Her latest rant about taking revenge against all MAGA supporters, and about how Minnesota will fail without Somoluans and her ... are pre-desperation flailings.

She knows she's in trouble.

The NCAA is a notoriously pro-DEI slanted institution because it is governed by insufferably woke member institutions' Presidents as a voting body.

The ADs, when they do have any say so, (which is rarely), are instructed how to plan and vote by their Presidents and Boards and, at times, even their State's governors if the States are providing any funding whatsoever.

That how it was first established that most flagship and other major universities within a given state are now required to schedule one in state lesser subdivision program each season (where such programs exist) providing those schools with major paydays.

It is, in essence, socialism and redistribution of wealth.

That's why the playoffs were approved ... provided the non-P5 conferences were awarded/afforded slots.

It's all very counterproductive.

In 1996 Lou Holtz turned down the Independence Bowl after going 8-3

---

That is complete and total unmitigated bullshite.

I interviewed Lou in 2000 and that was one of the questions that I asked him about because SC was coming off his first season, winless, and Clemson had started a rumor that Lou wouldn't go to a lesser bowl if he somehow turned SC around and managed six wins.

Lou had zero say so in that decision. Matter of fact, he was already gone (from ND) when that decision was made and he was furious that the school denied his players a post season experience. (There were not as many bowls at the time.)

I even reached out to ND's AD and President at the time (in 2000) and, while neither returned my calls, their SID called me and stated, and I paraphrase, that decision makers and board members were adverse to allowing Notre Dame to playi in anything less than a major New Year's Day bowl, at the time ... and that it had been a mistake not to do so.

I went back to Lou and played the tape for him and he said, "be sure to include that in the article Rooster." Which I did.

Lou had absolutely nothing to do with that decision. Lou was all about the bowl experience and winning bowls ... no matter what bowl it was.

He went on to beat Ohio State the next two post seasons at SC. He beat Cooper (his last year) and Tressel (his first year) at OSU.

Lou's most famous bowl is probably the Catholics vs the Convicts game. He had suspended four starters for violating team rules ... and still beat the Convicts.

Lou loved the bowl game experience.

Your subject line is total hogwash.

One of their best efforts ever.

Sounds reasonable to me. Punish a championship game loser and the championship games disappear.

ACC fans are saying that already.

The ACC's days are numbered. But that's been coming for some time ... decades really. Tobacco Road was always going to cause their downfall.

I could see CFB eventually going towards a League model, (rather than the current Conference model), much like the NFL ... but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Certainly not in my lifetime because of cultural issues.

How that will be accomplished is, for the time being, irrelevant and a waste of time and energy even contemplating because it's nowhere close to being on the horizon.

The next logical step witll be Super Conferences and a 16 team playoff.

She should be deported in all honesty.
