Nico is gone
Some really juicy offseason drama for the Vols this year. Here are the facts:
Consensus opinions from Vol Nation seem to be:
Lego Star Wars instilled this as well as leaps of faith
A federal bill has been introduced to replace the NCAA, create limitless transfers, shake up conferences and cap coaches' salaires.
Danielson will be replaced by Charles Davis.
B1G gets the theme music AND they get rid of Danielson? Things can be so unfair
fwiw, I personally think that coonskin cap UT did use Pruitt as a scapegoat. But they fired him for cause, and to quote Sam O'Nella "I'm mad butt hurt isn't a valid reason for prosecution"
Former Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt is suing the NCAA for $100 million in lost wages, filing a lawsuit in DeKalb County, Alabama.
The plant claims the NCAA cooperated with UT to make him a scapegoat.
I know this won't interest most lemmy users, but the forums for most large american colligate sports programs are alive and well.
Hard disagree. As long as a certain width is achieved, height should be maximized.
Deion Sanders has his own suggestion for college spring games that includes bringing in another team.
Was I wrong about Deion?
Saving this thread so I can see all the alabummer roasts

Nah man, skipping keeps my data legible so you can clearly see trends
and photos of Norwich
fucking brutal
Me seeing health & ammo: Great I really need this
Me in the next room on my 40th attempt at the end boss: Well I can't use that yet, what if there's a harder boss later?
Why are we trying our best idea second?
Yeah but the teams in the ncg both lost to terrible teams, ND especially. I think anOSU fans will genuinely still consider this a spoiled season 10 years down the road because they lost the game. And in my mind, that has GOT to be enough to keep a team from being the best in the nation. If we won every game except florida, I would enjoy the NC, but I would still look back at the season as a faliure. The media moguls don't understand this. And I can't reasonably vote against this. At the end of the day, I'm still a cfb sicko, and I will watch the playoff as it continues to expand, even though its not what I want.
And this has been my argument for years. It's silly to pretend that all 13-whatever teams in DI-FBS play the same sport. Hell in a conference like the B1G it's silly to pretend that all teams in a conference play the same sport. COLLEGE FOOTBALL DOESN'T NEED A NATIONAL CHAMPION. Let the teams play against their regional rivals. The fans and students are manic and show true hate (in a mostly controlled way) in these games, and that is so dang fun. 2022 TSIO was the essentially the first time in my life that that game had the same national implications that it used to, but I've never once given a damn about the whole state of alabama. If you really want to argue about who the best team any given year is, argue over it like kids arguing about baseball card stats. But the cat's out of the bag now, there can be no going back to no cfp and certainly not back to no title game.
I wish I knew, in my mind that's effectively what the 12 team playoff is anyway. Seeds 5-12 are playing into the tournament. I think kinda like @[email protected] said, this is solely an ego move from the SEC and B1G.
SEC confirms it is also considering a "play-in tournament" with B1G
The SEC and Big Ten are both looking at ways to get more teams and fans involved in their championship weekends.
Oh my god, make it stop
Also sorry for paywall

I've never heard of the swiss system before, but I genuinely like the sound of this.

SEC
Greatest Conference in the World
All other Conferences are run by little girls

128 team single elimination tournament, first round losers are relegated to FCS every season. Seeding is based on the previous year's non revenue team performances in their respective National Championships
Sources: SEC, Big Ten building momentum to further expand College Football Playoff to 14 or 16 teams
The conferences are pushing to assign multiple automatic qualifiers per league, with as many as four each for themselves. In short, a plethora of changes are on the table.
Turns out B1G and SEC are wearing the pants here.
"Red, White and Blue Land"
To be clear Greenland should absolutely unequivocally remain autonomous under danish rule but I mean, this is a name change I could get behind lol
Monumental shift: Power conferences, not NCAA, to control policing athlete compensation
A committee of power conference administrators took significant steps this week toward the creation of a new entity that will govern the evolving professionalized aspects of college sports.
Yeah I like the idea of this, but for top heavy conferences like the B1G, where's the incentive for them to impose any penalties on the top tier of the conference? Mizzou is gonna wind up on the stake all the time so that alabama can continue to pay for play.
Wow, terrible. What would someone say if they were to have a form letter that they could send to one of these tip lines? Where are some of the tip lines that someone could send these form letters too?

I know no one here is as invested in this story as I am, but it's still a very interesting and enlightening read
15 years after Lane Kiffin left Tennessee for USC, RTI talked to 13 people apart of the night to tell an oral history of that night.
And just to be totally clear, fuck that man with a mustard bottle

Thursday December 26th: Pitt @ Toledo Sports Bowl, Rutgers @ Kansas State Rate Bowl, Arkansas State @ Bowling Green 68 Ventures Bowl
Friday, Dec 20: Cure Bowl, Gasparillia Bowl, #7 Indiana @ #3 Notre Dame
A leaked presale code allowed “rabid” Volunteer fans to swoop up tickets for Ohio State's CFP matchup with Tennessee. Now, only resale tickets are available at higher prices.
I love Vol Twitter embracing it's inner /b/. But I'll believe 30,00 in orange in the horseshoe when I see it.
