    The exceptions are pretty something. While I was at Idaho, a WSU football player took an advanced engineering (materials) class that I was in. IIRC, he did quite well. But, sadly, they are very rare, as you point out.

    Where I find it kind of interesting are the schools that have zero path to the pros, and the players are still like that. Oh, well.

      My sister-in-law tutored some of those types while doing PhD work at South Dakota State. Barely D1 and still convinced they're going to play in the NFL somehow.

          I was actually the RA and expected to control them. It was…horrific.

          my crowning moment was screaming at glen mason one night after yet another incident.

              I've had Fleck's back since the beginning but after that game I don't think I can do it anymore.

                  UNLV QB is announcing he will redshirt and sit out the rest of the year, despite being healthy and a 3-0 start. His message alludes to not getting paid promised NIL, but insider reporting said he has been approached with better offers from at least one school.

                    Ha ha ha... Dude is literally taking his ball and going home (for this season).

                    So does this set a precedent for guys to walk away from a team where the season implodes early (like Florida State this season) to save their individual value?

                      The Pac-12 filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday challenging the legality of a "poaching penalty" included in a football scheduling agreement it signed with the Mountain West Conference in December.

                      With Oregon State and Washington State scrambling late last year to fill their 2024 football schedules in the wake of the Pac-12's collapse, they came to terms with the Mountain West on a one-year agreement that added six MWC opponents to each remaining Pac-12 school's schedule this season.

                      As part of the agreement, the Mountain West included language that requires the Pac-12 to pay a fee of $10 million if a school left the MWC for the Pac-12, with escalators of $500,000 for each additional school.

                          Can't wait for all athletes to become employees and sign contracts to prevent all this shady stuff. I do wonder if the athletic departments lose their tax exempt status how many will remain.

                            It's like taxing the churches. It was fun when it was a license to print money, but once they have to be competitive there will only be about 40 D-1 programs.

                              Last night was the epic Big Ten showdown between Washington and Rutgers.

                              I don't think I'll ever get used to that. Even though it's been a while, I'm still not used to Rutgers being in the B1G, and adding a former Rose Bowl foe. Crazy.

                              (yea, I know I've complained about this before- so get off my lawn)

                                Mountain West reportedly notified the MAC they are looking at Toledo and NIU to join as football-only members. NIU put out a statement that did not relay any commitment to staying in the MAC. NIU has already left the MAC once before and is out on an island relatively compared to most of the conference (though not really compared to any other conference), so I could see NIU leaving. Don't see Toledo leaving. NIU would probably have to go Horizon or MVC with their other sports.
