Feels like most weeks when NBC puts ND into the 7:30 time slot, it's overshadowed by the ABC and/or FOX games, when playing at the traditional 3:30 kickoff would've made it the clear biggest game. Related: Can't wait to see how ESPN justifies taking GameDay to the parking lot at one of the neutral site games over going to South Bend. I see them going to Alabama for some dumb reason. Instead of going back to the rivalry of Michigan v Norte Dame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Louisville/Alabama is in Orlando and it's the primetime game. Monday night, which Herbstreit will also call is VT@Florida State. Being in Atlanta would be for Washington/Auburn, which is the best matchup of the day. Week 2 is either Clemson@Texas A&M or Penn State@Pitt. Week 3 will likely be in Fort Worth (TCU campus or Sundance Square) as TCU/Ohio State is at AT&T Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/a-national-college-football-injury-report-may-be-coming-soon-if-big-ten-ads-get-their-way/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Quote The Big Ten has asked the NCAA to consider developing a national college football injury reporting system in reaction to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that allows states to legalize sports gambling. The conference's athletic directors proposed to the NCAA Football Oversight Committee in June what would be a first-ever weekly national injury reporting mandate. The ADs claim an injury report is necessary to protect the integrity of the sport. Such a move would alter one of the most ingrained and long-standing traditions in college football -- coaches concealing injuries. From the earliest days of the sport, the decision to release such information has typically been made by the coaches themselves, sometimes flying in the face of fair play and transparency. The main issue is how to get around student privacy laws -- most notably the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Essentially, athletes would have to consent to have their injury information released publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 With pro sports leagues required to release player injuries it should be interesting to see how this goes. The argument could be made that they aren't discussing unknown occurrences of injury, especially if a player's injury is seen on national TV. However, for Division II, III and some FCS schools they don't have that occurring unless it's in the playoffs. I'm guessing FBS would be the only ones required to do this.

dfwabel Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Oho State fires WR coach Zach Smith after a May arrest for Criminal Trespass involving his ex-wife comes to light. Urban Meyer addressed the media on Tuesday and says it was a "very tough call" to fire Smith, who has been with Meyer while at Florida as well told the media that he and his wife, Shelly, "got involved" in a 2009 incident with Smith and his wife by talking to police after their investigation of Smith for domestic assault. Those 2009 charges were later dropped. Not a good look Urban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Bahamas Bowl is on a cricket soccer/athletics pitch I can see it getting axed, even if the fans that go to the game love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rich Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 He's gonna be freakin' gone from Ohio State... and will likely never come back at a major Power 5 program... leaving only Saban, Swinney and Jimbo Fisher as active coaches with national championships. Smallest number I can ever remember (3), and I've been tracking that for years. Sheesh.... as if Saban didn't already overwhelmingly dominate college head football coaching. The guy's gonna go down as the G.O.A.T. before it's all said and done. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting it's true. Meyer has a reputation for looking the other way (Aaron Hernandez, for example) when a high quality player has "character issues." He also has a reputation for having bit of a "God complex" as in he thinks he can fix anyone. In any case, if this is true - and I think it is - he needs to be fired. I hate seeing this sort of thing. It's just wrong. Standing idly by with full knowledge that the wife of one of your coaches is being abused is simply unacceptable. Period.
