College Football Spring/Summer 2025

Writer kind of sounds like Finebaum.

 

I have to ask, just because I’m not current on recognized experts, who’s Clint Brewster?

 

Former college football quarterback at University of Minnesota and Tennessee Tech. Currently national college football analyst for CBSSports/247Sports

 

Thanks, Terry. Obviously, his opinions are credible. It's good news that he puts Carr on a par with Manning.

 

The House settlement is final. Schools can/will pay the players.

 

Is this in addition to NIL? It would seem they're two separate types of payment: one for performance and one for the use of NIL.

 

Yes 2 different types of compensation.

NIL still around but will have to work related to NIL. No more bogus setup where kids get the money and do nothing.

Kid can get both payments.

 

According to an article on the Athletic...

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua were scheduled to play golf with President Donald Trump at his course in New Jersey on Sunday as college sports leaders continue to look to the federal government for support.

Two people briefed on the meeting confirmed the president’s plans to The Athletic, speaking on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to speak publicly. Yahoo! Sports first reported about the golf outing.

Not sure what can be accomplished except a good round of golf.

 

Can unionization, demands for higher wages and strikes be far off?

 

Gipper, no question it's possible. I have a problem envisioning what could prompt any of the three you mentioned or all of them, but I'm convinced all possibilities are on the table.

 

I can only see unionization and that sort of thing if the top 32 or so programs leave the NCAA and form their own league for football. Then they'd almost have to figure out how to have some sort of draft for the teams and salary cap, etc. That would be the end of college football

 

Lee Corso's Last game.

College football is just around the corner, and ESPN's "College GameDay" has already set its location for Week 1 of the 2025 season, which will be Lee Corso's final appearance on the show.

"GameDay" will be headed to Columbus, Ohio, for an expected top-five ranked matchup between Ohio State, the reigning national champions, and Texas in a rematch of the Cotton Bowl in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

 

I miss the days of the Coach and the Pony, when Gameday started...

 

Tim Brando, Lee, and Beano were the original crew... Corso wsa the coach who was the Pony?

 

duh...Craig James....The Pony!

 

I remembered Craig but couldn't recall his last name.

 

Ha... I remembered Beano doing spots, but didn't remember that he was full time part of the show.
The memory is the second thing to go!

 

Someone's got to set you up Scott. What's the first thing?
