PSU just lost another 4 star commit, and there are people now reporting that the AD has told James Franklin to look for an NFL job.

Another thing that's been noticed is since the early transfer protocol players were allowed to switch, the NCAA all of a sudden started denying them.

Drue Chrisman is winning at life.

A great punter, a hot finance, and WAY too much time on his hands.

LSU booster paid a player's dad 180K in stolen money.

Weird how "the worldwide leader in sports" isn't covering this story yet...

If this was any other perennial top 25 team outside of the SEC or ACC, it'd be front page news on ESPN already.

Clemson + Bama both 30+ points favorites to open the season. Neither is playing a good team, obviously, but they are both playing major conference teams.

Clemson - Ga Tech
Bama - Duke

Sporting news says the NCAA is now investigating LSU. ESPN has yet to report it.

It's such a great thing when a "media outlet" gets into bed with people/organizations they report upon...

Clemson won't release their drug probe findings.

Guess who isn't reporting on this?

Trainers speaking out about college coaches ignoring injuries.

Players are getting played while hurt and ruled out. Players can transfer, but then not. Players are getting paid illegally. Players are "accidentally" given performance enhancers. Etc.

The NCAA is really doing a great job of protecting the student-athletes.

May as well give up the illusion at this point.

The Big Ten gets the "award" for having the most teams not playing a Power 5 opponent or Notre Dame during the nonconference portion of their schedules. Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio State and Wisconsin all fall into that category.
NCAA football schedule comments
Cushiest open to the season
Ohio State faces Florida Atlantic and Cincinnati at home to open the season, then travels to Indiana and comes back home to face Miami (Ohio). Pretty safe bet that Ryan Day and the Buckeyes will be 4-0 going to Nebraska on Sept. 28.

UNC got mentioned!
Conference game that's a nonconference game
ACC foes Wake Forest and North Carolina will play Sept. 13, but it won't count as a conference game. Each team has only three other nonconference games

Could you have found a credible news source? ESPN ignoring scandals at SEC/ACC schools and their #1 talking head thinking Dwayne Haskins was a running QB pretty much proves they don't know shit. :D

FA is Lane Kiffin's team.

Cincinnati is not "cushy" and is actually one fans and gamblers are watching.

Indiana is a P5 conference foe who typically gives the Buckeyes a game.

Miami (OH) is a cupcake.

Should we win all those games? Yes. Will we be favored? Yes. Is it the cushiest opening in the nation? I highly doubt it, but throwing OSU into the mix gets clicks.

Also, why should anyone care? The committee proves year after year that schedule doesn't mean shit.

That is simply not true. They're not great, but they are not terrible. They're a middling program who every now and then sneaks up on a team because they run a good offense.

Purdue is terrible.
