    Rather than have him sit out a game which only hurts thee team, how about some good old community service? Provides punishment, a wakeup call, and some. good to the community.

    Masters Of The Air

    My uncle, my namesake, was a bombardier on a B-24. Was with the 392nd Bomber Group. His plane was called "The Shark." you can see it on Internet. Shot down on long bomb run to knock out Messerschmidt repair facilities in Norway and maybe also heavy water plants. MIA.

    College Football reconsidered

    Agree completely. Money will destroy the college game as it is currently doing with professional golf. I believe it is something that creative minds can resolve. I also believe it is wrong to the fans to field a team for a bowl game that lacks many of your outstanding starting ball players. That...

    College Football reconsidered

    Keep in mind you are talking about 17 and 18 year old kids who have stars and maybe dollar signs in their eyes. Of course the damned agents don't help, as they are there to take the bucks and run.

    College Football reconsidered

    I think that player contracts and player insurance might be an avenue worth examining more closely. Good thought, thanks

    College Football reconsidered

    The bowl games have made something clear to me. We are in trouble, and I don't necessarily or exclusively mean PSU. I am referring to the state of college football. The influence of NIL, the more rampant opting-out, and especially the transfer portal are dramatically changing the quality and...

    Thank you opt out players

    I take some exception to the notion of a bowl game being meaningless. Yes, in some ways it is another game, and in some ways a special, celebratory game - a reward for a good season. I cannot buy inot either the transfer portal or opting out. If they are afraid of getting hurt, than hell, don't...

    Thank you opt out players

    What a damned shame. To see a great defense lose it top players to opt outs and then lose our best linebacker. Why let teams play who have lost their top players at the end of the season to expose the fans to an embarrassment. But we will keep supporting Franklin who himself has done nothing...

    The Bowls are dying

    We have been warned that eventually money will corrupt sports. There was a time when a player would not for a moment consider leaving his team out of fear of being hurt. Nor would they transfer (pre-portal) if they could. But that time is past. We pay cardiovascular surgeons a pittance compared...

    The Bowls are dying

    And in some cases like PSU, we don't even have the same coaching staff. I think there are ways to deal with this, but it would take some leadership and some courage - two scarce commodities in our society today.

    The Bowls are dying

    I am not a gambler. But to see some of the best players leave a team either to transfer or to protect their professional future for the NFL, in my opinion taints the National Championship and some of the excitement of the particular game for the team's respective fans. I just feel that this has...

    The Bowls are dying

    Is there something here that is being ignored - are we making believe regarding the teams that make it to the various Bowls? They are NOT the same teams that played during the regular season!! Period. With all the players opting out, you are not seeing the players/team that finished the season...
