I'm always up for a good conspiracy, the theory from Michigan fans that Big Noon keeps following them around so that UFM can spy on them is rather entertaining.

Sure, MSU/OSU will be interesting - until Sparty falls behind by three scores- which will probably be around 12:15.

Besides, Bloomington is a nice little town. The Fox crew will likely grab a few growlers from Upland Brewing and head out on the "Breaking Away" tour after the game.

Mike Leach has an interesting take on the future of college football. Also on everything else but this article focuses on college football.

I think this is pretty much where we're at. You're either professionals or you're not. If you're a professional here's your contract and salary. Oh, and I might end up trading you to Iowa State.

Some snippets:

College sports have been professionalized. And it is time, he says, for college athletes to become professionals. It’s time for a player draft. It’s time for salary caps, for trades and for player cuts.

“This should not be a masquerade party of professionals. Are you a professional or are you not?” says Leach during an interview in his office earlier this week. “Instead of sitting here and having 17-year-olds lecture everybody that they are professionals, well, let them be professionals. It’s one [amateur] or the other [professional]. Right now, we’ve got this whole mysterious stratosphere of people wiggling all over back and forth.”

“With professionals comes responsibility,” he says. “Yeah, you will potentially make more money. But you are drafted and can be traded. That’s what professionals do. This college football group [of administrators], they are all shocked by that. Why are you shocked by it? Name one league of professionals who don’t do it that way.”

Without solutions, college officials have pleaded with Congress for assistance, something Leach says is wishful thinking. The latest is a potential bill from former college coach Tommy Tuberville, a Republican senator from Alabama. No real action is expected on Capitol Hill until next year, after the completion of the midterm elections.

“They can’t even solve their own problems,” Leach says of Congress. “They don’t know the first thing about football, and we’re going to defer to a bunch of people who don’t know what they’re doing? What is the time frame? I don’t think they get it accomplished, but in the event they do, we’ll all be dead.”

Love that guy.

Mike Leach is a poseur.

There will be no grand redesign of college football. There as always be incremental change.

Shame on them for playing on a Friday evening, and sucking away fans from local HS games.

Texas 42
Oklahoma 0

Oklahoma boosters thinking about a Brent Venables buyout after year 1 🤔. (Given the current state of college football.)

Miami lost to NC in a good game at home. They have a somewhat grueling schedule coming up, the announcers were really trying to build up Josh Gattis until the finish.

Stay the course. Give the man a chance.
