Hail to the revenues growing. Hail to the margins expanding.

Hail to the revenues growing. Hail to the margins expanding.

I sure hope Borges doesn't allow his margins to keep expanding---unless maybe Hoke can use it as an excuse to not allow Borges back on the team bus after another day of shitty play-calling...

Hail to the revenues growing. Hail to the margins expanding.

No. 2 ranked WR George Campbell has decommitted from Michigan. He decommitted Friday, didn't want it out for awhile

Can't say I blame him. Our coaching staff has been exposed. The recruiting run is over.

If the recruiting dries up then Brandon needs to cut bait quickly. The last couple classes could serve a competent coach nicely in a couple years. There's enough talent in the program for a legit coach to make something respectable out of it.

Does not square with what mgoblog is reporting about him. Where is this coming from?

[iam416]

I believe it is from Sam Webb. And if it's accurate, I would say that closes the book on Campbell as far as M is concerned. You don't often see a de-commit and then a re-commit unless the kid is playing both sides of an Alabama-Auburn money war.

Claims his uncle talked him into looking around

[WM Wolverine]

All these 'uncles' and their handling of a recruiting process look shady to me, similar to Jordan Diamond...

If you could go to LSU, Auburn, Bama, A&M, Ole Miss, Clemson and get 'paid' or go to M, ND; where would you go?

[WM Wolverine]

It'll be interesting to see what schools are suddenly on his radar now, a bunch of schools known in recruiting circles that have boosters who like to give extra benefits.

[iam416]

FSU and Clemson seem to be the players at the moment.

FWIW, the feeling on OSU boards was that Campbell was going to be very hard for M to hold. That's not something I would ever post here while he was committed, but this isn't exactly a shock.

It's a huge loss for Hoke, though. The kid is big time and

[SeattleLionsFan]

It's kind of surprising with the development of all the great wide receivers and the dominant buffalo wild wings berth season that the elite Florida reciever would look around.

The program is middling at best right now, and there is not a whole lot of evidence that it is going to "return to glory" soon.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Mgoblog now has the report. He has decommitted. Probably for real.

I wonder if Brandon even sees the cracks in the palace wall?

On to the larger question. If the playing field in CFB is ever going to be level, something has to be done about the amount of money that appears to be available to high value recruits.

I would do this by tightening up the signing process in a legally sound way. Contracts. ...... We give you X to play for college Y. In turn you agree to abide by certain rules.

X = scholarships + annual stipends that increase each year you stay in school. If you stay for 4 and earn a degree, you get a bonus.

You sign, you're bound. You want to get out of the contract, you pay a penalty.

You could try to form a singe scholarship entity that collects from schools that participate and the scholarships and stipends are then leveled by some formula.
