  1. The B10 comissioner would like to go back to his old job. This gets uglier every day. This might be Michigan's best chance to win a national title, so they are going all in. An ugly legal battle between Michigan and the rest of the league would be more entertaining than any B10 football game.

  2. I think the only school that could get away with Florida State's behavior is Notre Dame. I don't see Michigan or Georgia putting up with Florida State's constant public temper tantrums and threats. The B10 and SEC have succeeded because there is a cohesion and you are inviting a malcontent that is never happy. If the SEC has to add someone, I hope it's Clemson and UNC but I prefer to stay at 16.

  3. It's ridiculous to give so much money and power to a coach that no other P5 school is interested in. I can't imagine an athletics director trying to sell that 1950 offense to a fanbase. If Iowa had some bad years there would still be good attendance because there's nothing to do in Iowa. I would tell Kirk that you can't hire your son and if that bothers you feel free to explore other options which I know you don't have.

  4. If the ACC cared about Stanford and Cal they would be in the conference now with full shares. There aren't any major conferences that cares about Stanford and Cal and I don't know if their egos allows them to realize and accept this reality.

  5. The Ivy League schools chose to leave big time athletics a long time ago and this decision hasn't hurt them at all. Same with The University of Chicago. They aren't going to compromise their admission standards and add easy classes to keep people eligible. Some years ago a journalism group called California Watch found a list of easy classes that Stanford athletes are given so everyone at this level compromises. The University of Michigan has a "General Studies" major that is a joke to keep people eligible. 

  6. Cal and the other UC's don't need athletics to get a huge number of applications from great students and that's one of the reasons the administration has never made much of an effort in athletics. Cal will always be known for Nobel prizes instead of athletics.
