    Joe-I never heard of any of what you posted. That was all very interesting. I thought UCF was just having a parade and getting a banner to be spiteful and petty. I didn't know they had a NCAA legitimate claim to a title. Solid work out of you sir. A++ :cheers:

    I try to stay off the sports channels about it so I never heard of any of it. Colley could be my neighbor and I wouldn't know. ahahahhahaa

    the 2 polls splitting was silly. I think in 1990 it was Washington and Colorado as co-Champs and in 1997-Penn St and Michigan. Ugh.

    Alabama if they wanted to can claim a championship for last year. They finished ahead of Clemson despite losing to them in the CFP Final.

    That being said,when you actually get to play in and lose the CFP that is when claiming it is truly silly. UCF at least has a claim without playing in the CFP.

    If UCF made the playoffs they would have got their asses kicked by Georgia, Oklahoma or Clemson. And Georgia would now be the National Champion. That is why they didn't get into the playoffs, but they deserved it over Alabama.

    Washington State QB Tyler Hilinski found dead of apparent suicide
    Tyler Hilinski, 21, has died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Pullman Police confirmed in a press release Tuesday night. The death of Hilinski, a redshirt sophomore quarterback for Washington State, has been ruled a suicide.

    "A rifle was recovered next to Hilinski and a suicide note was found," Pullman Police said in a release. "Detectives and the Whitman County Coroner's Office are conducting a thorough investigation to confirm the suspected cause and manner of death."

    Hilinski appeared in 12 games over the last two seasons, starting the 2017 Holiday Bowl for the Cougars. He was expected to replace Luke Falk as the team's starter in 2018.




    I heard rumours about this earlier in the day but I couldn't believe any sources. My best WSU source even removed his post about it in case it was false.

    Let us take away 21 victories from Notre Dame football including 12 from 2012. University President Fr. (which I believe stands for Fuckin' retarded) John Jenkins criticized the ruling. He called the ruling unfair. If you have people taking tests for athletes to satisfy academic requirements, wtf do you expect. Should have given them a SUV's and tattoos also.

    didn't see this, but it was more than 1 incident and more than 1 player. even as a lifelong ND fan, this is unacceptable. This is the same shit John Calipari was doing at Memphis. Throw the book at ND!

    NCAA approves biggest change yet to kickoff rule

    The kickoff is on the way out in the sport of football, and the NCAA has just taken the biggest step yet toward eliminating the play that has begun every game in the sport’s existence.

    The NCAA announced today that on all kickoffs in college football, the receiving team will have the option to fair catch the ball anywhere inside the 25-yard line and have the play count as a touchback.

    The NCAA was clear about the reasons for the rule change: Players get hurt on kickoff returns, and fewer returns will result in fewer injuries.

    “The Football Rules Committee made the proposal to continue efforts to increase the number of touchbacks during kickoffs since fewer injuries occur during kickoffs that result in touchbacks than on kickoffs that are returned,” the NCAA said.

    This rule will result in fewer kickoff returns, and once fans become accustomed to fewer kickoff returns, they’ll become accustomed to the idea of getting rid of the kickoff entirely. The kickoff is going away.

    The only question is what will become of onside kicks, which are a staple of late-game comebacks. The NFL and the NCAA will both need to consider some kind of rule change that would allow teams trailing late in games to get the ball back after they score. The upstart Alliance of American Football has announced that it will do away with kickoffs but allow teams to try to get the ball back after scoring, by running one play from their own 30-yard line, needing to gain 10 yards to keep the ball.

    Whether that rule gains traction or some other replacement for the onside kick is adopted, the reality is kickoffs are going away. The NCAA took a big step in that direction today.
