@Jeffkills Just Venmo me the $50 and send over the paperwork.

You +++++ed this board up. Stop doing cocaine, stay out of jail, and sell the board. Hell, give it away to someone responsible - an adult.

Doing what they need to compete.

NCAA finally grows a pair and throws the book at these elitist blue blood assholes: https://x.com/ncaa_pr/status/1795847637154849033?s=46 @RSF

Speaking of specific content, Panhandle SportsCenter must be significantly different than Orange County SportsCenter because a buddy of mine who lives outside of Panama City told me they hardly ever see news on UCF when I asked.

This is a good depiction but the bag would look more like this:

Yeah, I know it’s happening. It’s just that TCU pulled an extreme dirtbag move in McAlister’s case. I bet it got a tad uncomfortable for him when Andy Avalos walked into the TCU football facility.

I never said McAlister played in games for two teams in the same academic year. Keep moving those goal posts bud.

So these rules you reference now apply to calendar year and not academic? I neither said nor implied he enrolled at TCU the same semester, I specifically wrote the NEXT one. He played for Boise State in the fall of 2023, and was already enrolled and participating in spring practice at TCU in 2024 with a purple duffel bag full of cash. And it was well known in Boise that McAlister stopped attending classes after he left the Bronco football team in early November. Fact of the matter is, there was tampering by TCU DURING the 2023 football season.

Pretty sure that’s exactly what Eric McAlister did. https://gofrogs.com/sports/football/roster/eric-mcalister/16461

No, dirtbag schools never used to poach Boise State receivers in the midst of a season. That’s new.

I personally don’t think Boise State was contacting players on the rosters of other D-1 colleges during the season to poach them away with cash prior to NIL and the transfer portal. I don’t think many schools were doing that before the ecosystem changed. Now paying recruits still enrolled in high school, that’s a different story.

They can’t play for two separate schools in the same season but they can certainly drop out of school and re-enroll in the next semester for the upcoming season without penalty. This will become more commonplace. If the payday is large enough, it will be more attractive than playing through the end of the season.

I didn’t write that very well. What I meant was like a star quarterback for an Alabama or a Michigan going somewhere else in the middle of the season because a Texas or a Florida offer up a ridiculous amount of money.

I’m personally in favor of NIL as I think it’s well deserved. With the transfer portal, I’m not opposed to it but there has to be some stronger rules and regulations around it. Otherwise college sports needs to go to a full compensation model with enforceable contracts because it will eventually get to the point where star players, even with some of the money schools, are going to switch allegiances if the paycheck is large enough.
