I just took a look at the B1G signing day show. Class ranks:

1. USC
2. Oregon
6. tOSU
…
144. Penn State


I lol’d. I really didn’t know there were that many FBS teams now. Or maybe some FCS classes are ahead of them.

Only one school has Julian Sayin and will get to play next to JJ Smith.

We will hire someone good.

That said, I also am confused that Nike gives Oregon money for NIL. We’re essentially paying Nike to compete against us (same as other programs too).

I mean, Day isn't going back to calling the plays I wouldn't think. Have to get an OC. If I'm correct OSU can only add one more assistant.

How guaranteed is the money? Was it $12M per year? Or over 3 years? What if they don't want to pay him for next year? Or is he stuck to this contract? Can he choose to go somewhere else? I can't imagine he'd get more somewhere else...

He's not going to get close to his cheaters deal after his shitshow of a freshman year. I'm not sure a top program would take a chance on him at all now. You hate to see it.

Agreed. We all knew Hartline would. We also knew once he did, that class would take a hit and some WRs might leave. The Portal will be used to fill those holes.
It is annoying though

You aren't going to have this kind of kid in the portal

Some interesting rumors regarding Moore that might be causing recruits to give pause.

Did he publicly announce that he'll quit trying to find ways to cheat?

And back to Mr Henry and best of luck to him whatever decision he makes.

Would it be between 10-2 Notre Dame and 10-3 Alabama (assuming they lose to Georgia)?
Only one of those teams can get in?
I wouldn't mind seeing Alabama missing the playoffs 2 years in a row.

You'd think that, but the committee has said that "they won't punish teams for playing the extra game". If that's true, then a neutral Notre Dame should not jump ahead of Bama, who had to play that extra game. They set that up by having Bama jump them this week.

Also, came in here to post that I just read on facebook that the Miami game was a "beatdown" over Notre Dame. A game that was tied with a minute to play, and never further than a 14 point difference, was a "beatdown"..... I guess we've been watching straight massacres all season.

To do what? OSU nor any Nike school is leaving. Where do you think they'd go, Puma, Asics? The only negotiation OSU and Nike would have is giving OSU more money

Not saying they should do it at all, but I would assume Adidas would be the most likely alternative

Challenging for Day and Buckeyes for sure.

But Brian still gets my love! Watched him play, watched him ascend the coaching rank. It’s been fun. Grateful for finishing this season the right way. Let’s go get another natty!!!

Yep and most importantly he didn't go to penn fucking state

I mean yes and no. It was always going to happen and always going to happen with him leaving but it won't be the last major coach to leave and the laast time people freak out over it.

Oh yea there's gonna be another major meltdown when Patricia eventually bolts for another HC job.

I was kind of hoping they’d go with LA Gear.

Funniest thing is that this kid could have been Kiffin's QB net year. Hope the bag was worth it.

keep in mind Oregon just lost its OC too.... so maybe he's actually being advised correctly and is trying to see who replaces them.... I'm leaning that direction....

Valid point.

If we lose Henry to Oregon and their Nike money, if I’m OSU I open up negotiations the next time the Nike contract is up for renewal.

Really doesn't mean as much as it used to with the portal

Yea I think Top 10 is good enough with how the top schools are pretty jumbled together with nobody being able to really hoard tons of elite players anymore. The real ware is going to be who can retain and develop those next wave of players the best

Four-Star Athlete Legend Bey Flips Back to Tennessee From Ohio State​

247Sports reported earlier on Wednesday that there was immense pressure from Bey's family to sign with Tennessee. Per the report, his mother wouldn't sign off on the commitment, and Ohio State would have waited until his 18th birthday arrived in three weeks to accept the signing through compliance. Bey held a signing ceremony Wednesday morning at his high school, North Forney, wearing a bunch of Ohio State gear.

Just sayin': Why would the mother of a player from Texas want her son to got to Tennessee in lieu of Ohio State? Could it be because of the amount of NIL money Tennessee offered was more than what Ohio State had offered?
