J.J. McCarthy (once a tCun, always a tCun; Nine on the Pine)

Wentz opted to sign a one-year contract to return to the Vikings in March in what seemed like a curious move at the time, with many teams interested in his services, including the Jets.

This shocking practice development may be signaling that McCarthy is on the roster bubble and in serious danger of being cut by the team.


McCarthy, 23, is in year three of his fully guaranteed four-year contract that first-round picks in the NFL receive.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

Ohio State’s most important position battle might already be over​

The Buckeyes have not officially announced their starting five, but everything coming out of preseason camp suggests Ian Moore has won the left tackle job and Austin Siereveld is headed back inside to right guard.

Ian Moore has done enough to force the decision​

The most important part of this development is not that Ohio State wants Siereveld at guard. It is that Moore appears to have done enough to make moving Siereveld inside a realistic option.

Moore arrived at Ohio State as a highly regarded four-star recruit out of Indiana and was viewed as one of the better offensive tackles in the 2024 recruiting class. The physical profile with him has always been obvious. Ohio State lists the redshirt junior at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, giving him the length and frame of a traditional left tackle, but the physical tools were never the question.
The question was whether Moore could turn them into reliable Big Ten offensive line play. That process has been gradual.

2027 TX DL Jalen Brewster (Texas Tech Verbal)

Per ESPN: Five-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster, the top-ranked recruit in the 2027 cycle, has reaffirmed his commitment to Texas Tech and will shut down his recruitment, he announced Wednesday.

Brewster's decision follows months of speculation surrounding the recruitment of the coveted 6-foot-3, 310-pound prospect from Cedar Hill, Texas. Brewster, who has been committed to the Red Raiders since October, entertained interest from a number of programs this spring and summer, traveling for official visits to Florida, LSU, Indiana, SMU and Texas along with Texas Tech.

LSU and coach Lane Kiffin emerged as the most serious flip candidate, sources said, lingering in Brewster's process into mid-August. Sources within the Red Raiders' program maintained an unwavering confidence that the nation's No. 1 prospect would honor his verbal pledge and ultimately sign with Texas Tech later this year as an early enrollee.

Just sayin': I just wonder how much Texas Tech had to increase their NIL offer to get him to "shut down his recruitment".

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

Sources: SEC to suspend head coaches who add pro players​

SEC schools that bring back NFL, NBA or WNBA players to their programs will face steep discipline under a new policy unanimously approved by the conference's 16 members, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

The penalties include a half-season suspension for a coach, a fine that matches 50% of the sport's annual budget and revocation of league voting rights, sources confirmed.

The SEC's member schools also gave commissioner Greg Sankey the authority to impose additional sanctions as needed, according to sources.

Sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel that the SEC's chancellors and presidents voted 15-0 to confirm the penalties, with LSU abstaining from voting....:lol: The vote to approve the new policy banning pro athletes from returning to the SEC was approved by a 16-0 vote.

Big XII (official thread of whining, and homely herpes-having’ hos)

Big 12 announces ban on all professionals from returning​

The Big 12 has unanimously agreed to ban professionals from returning in all sports, the conference said Wednesday night.

The decision is in line with similar rules the Big Ten and SEC announced Tuesday, although the Big 12 is the first conference to include all sports. ACC athletic directors also met Wednesday, and there's momentum for that conference to follow bans on NFL players, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

Jeremiah Smith Sees a Heisman Trophy in Legend Bey’s Future​

163475_h.jpg


“I think I said this back in spring. I said to Luke Montgomery, I said, ‘Before Legend Bey leaves Ohio State, he’ll be a Heisman finalist, or he’ll end up winning it.’ The things he’s been doing in practice have been pretty special,” Smith said on Wednesday.

Sources told Eleven Warriors that Bey has earned reps with the first-team offense this week. His rise toward the top of the depth chart – or, at the very least, toward a meaningful role during the regular season – comes after he missed the first two practices while serving a suspension for violating team rules.

Since that early speed bump, Bey has regained the trust and confidence of head coach Ryan Day, running backs coach Carlos Locklyn and his teammates.

B1G (Official Thread)

You do your work for free so the business can keep more? For the good of the company you have no ownership in?

False. NIL came about because the players, like every American, have property rights. In this case, control over the use of the Name Image and Likeness. If you want to use it, you have to pay them.

Again, not the case. There is no new "wrong". There is just the SCOTUS telling college football you have been violating the actual rules for a very long time and now its over.

Find a way to do that without inhibiting the ability of an American worker to earn or change jobs and all would be kosher.
So what’s your solution?

It’s not inhibiting their ability to work to not allow professional athletes to come back to college to play. It’s the free market taking its course because these players aren’t good enough for the NFL.

Not sure what you’re talking about with working for free. I never said they shouldn’t get paid. They should, but if they go to the NFL then that’s that.

My whole point was right now the players have all the cards and it’s not right. They can do whatever they want and if a rule is preventing them from having extra eligibility then they’ll sue and win.
