NFL decided not to have a supplemental draft. Dude is in limbo, I think.

This was too late in posting here but way-too-early!

Anyway, as in years past, the GoA Rankings, by Conference, since the teams change, but the slots for each conference don’t change too much.

  1. Big 10 Champ (per rankings, IU)
  2. SEC Champ (Texas)
  3. Notre Dame
  4. Big 12 Champ (TTU #7)
  5. ACC Champ (Miami #8)
  6. SEC (UGA #4)
  7. Big 10 (Oregon #5)
  8. Big 10 (tOSU #6)
  9. SEC (Ole Miss #9)
  10. SEC (T And/or M #10)
  11. Big 12 (BYU #11)
  12. Highest ranked non-Power 4 Team (??)

So three Big 10, four SEC, two Big 12, one ACC, one ND and one non-Power 4.

So far.

23

Alright, one day later

So three Big 10 (tOSU, UO, IU), FIVE SEC (UGA, UT, A&M, OU, OleM), ONE Big 12 (TTU), one ACC (U), one ND and one non-Power 4.
'bama dropped from #11, due to TTU at #12, and non-Power 5 Team
Coaches, or their office assistants, don’t know much, though

24

So who won this year?

A university near me put up a FB post showing a WVB, WSoc and MSoc player with the number 5 and said in respect of Jayden Daniels these players would not be playing that day. Then provided the weekend schedule for WVB, WSoc and MSoc which only had games after the current date. :slight_smile:

The NCAA finally won a case. They got the 10th Circuit Appeals court to reverse a federal judges injunction in a class action suit that allowed all 2022 class athletes to come back for a 5th year of eligibility. Doesn’t affect any of the state court injunctions others have won to play.

Wow. Almost funny.

30

As funny as most of the other memes I’ve seen. So…

31

That’s sad.

Saw an article that said the B1G has implemented a rule to prohibit football players who have spent time in the NFL or signed professional contracts from returning to play college football in the conference.

I saw something else about the SEC but not sure that was an adopted rule yet for them.

33

Call me when the Big 10 implements a rule to not pay their players

34

Well, they couldn’t say they were banning them because they weren’t amateurs anymore.

35

Now I’m seeing that the SEC also enacted the rule.
