2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Verbal Offer)

Didn't one of the Borens give up being a RB to be an outstanding LB? (believe there's a picture of him hulking over a Xichigan QB).
So it looks like Feister will more than likely play LB at the college he chooses. But that place won’t be OSU. He’s getting some offers bigger than what OSU is offering. OSU coaches think he’s closer to his ceiling with his age. And tbh, they would be fine with just Cypher in the class and hitting the Portal for another 1 or 2. OSU will have 8 LBs on schollie next year even after Alliegro graduates, and they mainly play 2. Feister is a luxury(and would be an expensive one)

Well the hardest part to making it perfect would be realignment again and 4 conferences of 16 teams each. Let's face it NIL has made this a professional sport and there's money everywhere. Yet there are teams in, I'll call it by is old moniker, Division 1A, that do not stand a snowballs chance in hell of ever reaching a final let alone winning one.

So the new 1A becomes a 64 team league, 16 make the playoff, which will still be the same teams every year, right? A few stragglers will show up from time to time of course. The rest are in Division 1B. The MAC, WAC, SUN BELT etc. whom are also going to be able to benefit from NIL as well, if they run the business correctly.

Now for the kicker: the worst team from each of the 4 conferences gets relegated each February and the best 4 from the 1B lot move up. Gone would be the days of terrible athletic departments being the annual conferences doormats, but still getting to share the conferences bounty which they never contribute to. You suck too bad this year? Adios. Maybe next year. And, hey fresh blood once in awhile keeps things interesting.

Obviously 1A is the NFL minor leagues at this point let's not kid ourselves and football would have to separate from the other sports due to the relegation rule but so what? Doesn't mean they lose school affiliation so fans and alumni don't have to switch allegiance, that would be brutal.

TV rights, conferences payouts and the possible school issues are still going to exist.

Now these are just the lunatic rumblings of a fringe fanatic that lives for college football and all things Buckeyes so there's a whole crap load of T's and I's that the nerds would have to sort out but you get the picture I think? (FYI this rambling and napkin spitballing should all be read in Jack Burtons voice for posterity)

Jeremiah Smith Says Alabama Was His Dream School, But Crimson Tide “Thought There Was No Chance” After His Ohio State Commitment

163153_h.jpg


Jeremiah Smith always dreamed of playing college football at Alabama, but the Crimson Tide didn't follow through.

During his interview session at Big Ten Media Days, Smith revealed Alabama was his dream school growing up in Miami Gardens, Florida.
"Growing up, my dream school was Alabama when Nick Saban was there. They wasn't recruiting me, though,” Smith said. “It is what it is, but I always wanted to go to Alabama."

Alabama had become a destination for several South Florida stars before Smith. He pointed to Amari Cooper (2012 four-star), Calvin Ridley (2015 five-star) and Jerry Jeudy (2017 five-star) as examples of elite wide receivers from the area who played in Tuscaloosa.

But it wasn't in the cards for Smith. He said his early commitment to Ohio State caused Alabama to bow out of his recruitment long before signing day.

"I think I committed to Ohio State too early," he said. "That's why they stopped. They thought there was no chance."

Alabama's decision to move on was probably the right one. Smith committed to Brian Hartline's program in the 2024 recruiting class, and by that point, Hartline had already sent Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Marvin Harrison Jr. to the NFL. Emeka Egbuka was nearing the end of his college career, and Carnell Tate was beginning his ascent toward becoming a top-five NFL draft pick. It would have taken an extraordinary recruiting effort for the Crimson Tide to pull Smith away from the Buckeyes.

16 teams is the ideal max that I've laid out before.

-No bye week bullshit.
-No Conference Champ games either, unless it can be fit in extra as in starting the schedule a week earlier.
-Eliminate one of the "preseason" games.
-Play 10 conference games, for every conference.
-First 2 rounds on campus. Then major bowl locations for the rest.

Keep money in the communities as long as possible. The corporations are fucking up a great sport.
