They are suing to avoid the $130M exit fee. Very short-sighted in my opinion, will damage their basketball team and other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the current transfer portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't be able to compete with schools in the B1G and SEC who have marketing deals that pay them twice as much. The judge who has been assigned to the court case is an FSU grad for his bachelor's and law degree. No other sports bring in money, only football does. If our football team can't compete because we are in the ACC, then the other sports will suffer as well. I hope we go to the B1G. I despise ESPN and their affiliation with the SEC.

Lawman Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Ryan Day probably should find new work.You very obviously didn’t watch that game.Ohio State showed up with literally no offensive starters but 2 guys (one injured) from the season and lost their Quarter Back on the second drive. The defense held Missouri to literally no first downs until the second half. That game was awful to watch but to somehow act like its validation of OSU being a bad team or Day being a bad coach is a joke.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk IMO that game was more of an indictment of their fanbase for running Kyle McCord out of town and probably robbing their future as well by putting Lincoln Kienholz in an impossible situation. Now the true freshman goes out and lays an egg in his first start and everyone now calls for him to get benched and get a replacement via the portal. Same vicious cycle will continue and hollow out a blue blood program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same vicious cycle will continue and hollow out a blue blood program.I think thanks to the transfer portal nightmare you’ll see more of this. They effectively lost the top quarter of their roster between regular and bowl season. You’re not even coaching the same team at that point. Now the 12 team playoff system may help stave off some of that effect for the perennial playoff teams out there, but with a system of top 4 or bust, there is almost no incentive for players who can make cash not to opt to transfer over playing a nobody cares bowl.And I’m with you on McCord. He throws a pick and his career is over in some peoples eyes. Meanwhile Brown who is the running back that throws is supposed to be a savior but at this point it’s obvious his talent isn’t going to overcome some injuries that are becoming hard to ignore. Without him and with a 3rd string quarter back who had no confidence or aim all Mizos had to do was continuously rush 7 on defense and wait for OSU to wear out theirs. It took all of 4 quarters for them to get on the board but they were effectively only playing against a defense at that point.

ThisGuy Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 As an OSU fan it was a struggle to watch. Defense definitely stepped up until they got tired. Players opting out to not get hurt is understandable but what if the transfer portal didn't open until after all bowl games? Not sure if that would help but it's a thought.Sent from my SM-N960U using Baseops Network mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you didn't know, college and pro football are results-based professions. If you don't produce positive results, then they'll find someone who can.

ClearedHot Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Kirby is smoking crack if he thinks he beat the undefeated FSU team that played this season. He has a much bigger point to make but he didn't want to take a shot at Mike Norvell. The vast majority of Georgia's key players elected to play even if declared for the draft, FINISH what you started. 67% of FSU's starting players opted out of the bowl game for the portal or the draft. That is a SERIOUS culture problem and it starts with the coach. What is even worse is ESPN campaigned for them to be left out of the CFP but then reversed course and is upset they didn't try in the bowl game. TV money, the portal and the NIL deal has changed the game...for the worse. On 12/28/2023 at 10:02 PM, M2 said: Cue "but the Gators didn't even go to a bowl" response in 3, 2, 1...

At least we can both agree on below....When FSU threatened to not show up at the game, I thought they were kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
