I mean, I guess? As far as I'm concerned, the biggest crime Jim Harbaugh has committed is his last two recruiting classes and that gameplan versus TCU. Folks want me to get bent out of shape about four level II's and telling the NCAA to eat it over Jug burgers but that is absolutely not happening; I don't care, and neither would you or any other college football fan.

You know full well we're not going down for ANY of this; the Weiss thing is way scarier to me. If the NCAA wants to do this, right here, right now, over burgers and watching a workout on Zoom? They will lose. And not one person in here will cry a single tear for their destruction.

I just don't think these are the droids you're looking for; assuming I'm allowed to say that in this thread.

This is not aimed at TYB, but at all those who get their panties in a wad over the NCAA. The NCAA was created by the colleges themselves because they knew they could not agree amongst themselves on the rules of the game and the enforcement of such rules. The point remains. Schools and conferences can not agree on rules. Nothing points this out better than NIL.

You can bitch about the NCAA all you want, but without a strong national organization to write and enforce rules, the game will self destruct. Only the big fish - maybe 20 - 25 programs will survive to play for the National Championship- the rest will form new conferences and survive as a second tier ONLY if they can supply the needs of sports networks.

Broncos had second meeting with Jim Harbaugh about head coaching job​


Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner flew to Ann Arbor, Mich., this week to meet in person with Jim Harbaugh about the team's head coaching job, according to sources informed of their situation.

Harbaugh announced earlier this month he was staying at the University of Michigan after interviewing virtually with the Broncos on Jan. 9. But sources say conversations continued in the weeks that followed between Harbaugh and both Broncos general manager George Paton and Penner, who knows Harbaugh through Stanford connections and had the former 49ers coach high on his list.

A source close to Penner said no offer was made during this week's visit and that he wanted to visit Harbaugh in part because it was the only candidate he hadn't interviewed in person. But Harbaugh has remained willing to listen and has told people if he were to return to the NFL, the Broncos' job is one he'd want. Though Harbaugh has not yet gone back on his stated plans to stay at his alma mater, the door remains open.

I think that's mostly my problem: that the NCAA isn't strong enough. Or, at least, their inconsistency in enforcing its own rules makes it tough to support them. Just going off my memory, which is possibly (probably) faulty, the NCAA comes down on a basketball coach who buys pizza while comforting a student athlete who just lost his father, but they throw their hands in the air when it comes to Cam Newton's father getting hundreds of thousands of dollars. They told the dad, "Don't come to the national championship game." The dad says, "Eff you, nerds!!" The NCAA just says, "Okay, fine..." But Chase Young borrows money from a family friend, and pays him back, and gets suspended for 2 games.

What's the joke? Something like, "Alabama was caught illegally paying players. Western Kentucky has been placed on probation."

I want an NCAA that can punish Team A just as much as they punish Team B.

So, if Simple Jim ends up bailing after all, it will be fascinating to see who Ono throws under the bus as the scapegoat when he couldn't shove people out of the way fast enough to claim credit for keeping him a week ago.

Warde Manuel would be the one quickly getting thrown under the bus in this event.

Agree, which would be ironic considering he's the one person up there who understood that Simple Jim would never stop flirting with the NFL and had the common sense to just hang back and hope he left. The one certainty is that Ono will accept no responsibility, blame someone else and somehow try and turn it into some public relations win for himself.

DFBIA already blames Warde for the "lack of communication" between him and Harbaugh. Even though we all know that Harbaugh has been known to be very "difficult" with his bosses and a grown man child. They wouldn't even question if it was Ono's fault and easily go along with that narrative if it came down to it. They love him for some reason. (of course)

I said that he was a grifter back at UC. He has that innate grifter's ability to sense what his marks want. That's child's play for him with the dfbia. What will be interesting is how it will play with more sophisticated power centers within the university as his big talk and low accomplishment side starts to become apparent. He might get away with it there just because he's starting at the top of the mountain and just needs to maintain rather than build something up like he tried to do and failed to do at UC.

And as I've always maintained, he's also a really bad guy to his core.
