Book it… Texas Tech next year with a knee brace
-
Like I said previously… alternate reality. If we were the only team with a pulse (more or less) in that schedule, they should be grateful to come close to being considered
-
The domers live in an alternate reality where it is still the 1960’s. “We’re special… independence is our turdition…”. That was well and fine in the old days, but college football has evolved into NFL-lite. Conference affiliation matters (good and bad) in this new world. USC saw the writing on the wall and left the shit-show that was the PAC since the conference was barreling towards irrelevance (Texas did the same). You don’t see the NFL allow one team to bypass a conference to say “ nah, we’re good… we’ll make our own schedule, cut our own TV deal… and by the way, we get to be in the playoffs just because we’re us”. I hope this days are over and the major conferences tell them to pound sand, enjoy playing Directional State Technical University. USC is questioning whether playing ND late in the season is going to affect any CFP chances. The rivalry has been great for both schools, and I’ve had the chance to experience 4 games as a band member, but that was then and this is now. You want to be a part of the league, then play by the same rules as everyone else… otherwise fuck right off.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
USC_TMB replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Man, this has gotten ridiculous regarding coaching salaries & NIL. Not only is there the gigantic buyout some schools have to deal with, now you have to factor in how firing the coach is going to affect player’s NIL decisions. Not that long ago coaches were given 3 years to turn around a program (depending on how in the toilet they were), once they got “their players signed. Now, it’s a yearly roster change it seems. I would think the era of 10 year gazillion-dollar contracts is over. Take that money and buy some talent in the portal and roll the dice. /old man rant/ The current state of college football has really killed my interest in the sport I love. 18 year-old getting multi-million $ contracts without having played a snap going bust, players bailing on their team before the season ends to “protect themselves”, conferences that make zero sense, etc.. Personally, I may take a quick peek at the score, then do something that actually brings me enjoyment. \old man rant\ -
From what I’ve read, they were suspended from the team before being removed. I don’t see anything about being expelled. Edit: I see now that they are no longer enrolled at Ped St., whatever that means
-
Stinking’ Pedo State gonna Pedo State. I suppose the upside is they are moving into more age-appropriate sex crimes? Gotta love the headline “former Penn State players…”, as if they had no connection to that festering program. They got kicked off because of the allegations. Fuck them
-
Considering USC just signed a partnership agreement with Cookies CBD/wellness/cannabis (shhhh) company, that hatch has been thoroughly breached. No NIL contracts yet, but hold on.
-
I realize I’m old and all that, but does anyone else cringe at the thought of a casino in Vegas (with a huuuge sportsbook) ponying up to pay a player, then covering the action on his replacement and the games?? Everyone knows the shady “no-show” jobs and bagmen were/are a thing forever, but this might just be the ultimate over-the-line scenario I’ve seen. Just my opinion, but damn. Just do away with the “amateur” label and pay the players.

Jumping in late, but even Stevie Wonder could see something like this happening. I don’t know, or care about this guy, or unlv, but my spidey-senses are calling BS. IF there was a written agreement/contract, then pursue legal remedies, don’t run to X and say I’m taking my ball and going elsewhere. You’d think Guy Fieri would toss some coin his way. When I was doing consulting/contract work during the Dot-Com boom, there were constant offers of “perks and stock options” that were as much vaporware as the business model. The rule was, and still is… GET THAT SHIT IN WRITING! If you jump on a verbal agreement, that’s on you if it goes south. His parents/advisors/agent did him no favors. Imma is correct that nobody is going to offer this guy unless every QB on the team goes missing. Particularly as a player who isn’t going to sniff the NFL… if he was an elite QB, maybe, but if I was a player I’d wonder what his commitment is.

I should have been clearer in my previous post (scrambling to get to a trade show), Kelly is an absolute piece of crap, zero argument there. He was fortunate to catch lightning in a bottle at Oregon, and had been on cruise control since. That being said, is it possible that he had an “I can’t do this shit anymore” moment (happened to me). Especially since he obviously didn’t like recruiting, being an administrator, NIL issues, the stuff they PAY you multiple-$millions for. The timing IS crappy, but how many of us would walk away from a guaranteed $6 million without a landing place? Hell, they most likely would have cut him loose this season anyway.
-
That had more to do with the horrific state of the program more so than Kelly’s coaching prowess
-
Wow, that writer comes off as a whiny bitch. I hate to see Kelly leave ucla for obvious reasons, but the guy realized he didn’t want to be a Head Coach anymore. Playing the “poor assistants out of a job” card is pretty disingenuous. Had he been fired, they would still be out of a job.
-
Kind of a strange move, HC to OC in the same conference without being fired, but it could be that the new landscape of college football led to this. He may not be cut out or doesn’t want to deal with NOL, transfer portal, etc.. I’m not shocked to see coaches that have been around for a while say later with this nonsense. Or the Bucknuts offered him a metric crap-ton of money for less work.

Holy crap… we all knew that the ncaa’s demise, the forming of a Super Conference/“alliance”, and the reconfiguration of sports broadcasting was coming… at some point down line. The speed of all this happening is mind-boggling. Obviously all of this has been in the works for years, just waiting for the first domino to fall, but damn. This went from zero-to-100 like a rocket.
-
Well I’m sure nobody saw this coming. Hell, the BigSEC should just replace the ncaa with Surly posters, y’all have been way ahead of the process.
