I almost bet on Nova against Oklahoma, but was talked out of it...

Anyway, continuing on the theme I began earlier, Go Nova!

Gah... oh well, better than I expected them to do.

Summary of my teams this year:
UNC football - Wins division; loses bowl game.
Redskins - Wins division; loses playoff game.
Panthers - Wins Conference, loses super bowl.
UNC bball - Wins conference, loses in the final.

Not a bad year... but bad endings.

Sorry Catt. Good game though.

Meanwhile, the internet is having fun with "crying Jordan" memes.

Satellite camps are now banned.

Because it's bad to give kids options.

Over signing is still legal though because that gets kids kicked out of school for not performing on the field.

Players are PISSED.

The NCAA is a fucking joke. They're going to continue choking on the SEC's cock right into their destruction.

1 day after the NCAA makes texting unlimited, Urban Meyer speaks out against it and offers an abso-fucking-lutely insane idea: bring in some current players and run these ideas by them.

Urban's so silly. The NCAA doesn't give a single fuck about student athletes. They care about their money. If they did care about athletes, they would unban satellite camps and ban oversigning.

Coaches are blasting the NCAA for the camp ban.

So you've pissed off coaches and players. Clearly you don't care about them at all.

Satellite camps explained in a very biting and simple way. Seriously, it's a must read if you watch college sports and hate the NCAA's arbitrary punishments and rulings.

UCLA went rogue and voted for the ban despite all 11 other teams not wanting it.

Coaches everywhere are pissed. Even ones from conferences that voted to ban them.

Point being, this isn't over. Apparently, there will be another meeting where the initial vote can be overturned. We already know the Pac 12's vote will change, all it takes is one more and a lot of the Group of Five coaches and schools are pissed, so there's hope.

That's all without taking into account all the pissed off players and bad press the NCAA has been getting over this ban.

Sure, I'd love an NCAA Football Championship, but I don't ever expect it. Hell, just People talking us almost being that good feels really good. At this point, I'd be pretty happy to be a consistent top 25 team

Tunsil admits to taking cash from a coach.

Ole Miss somehow went from doormat to getting top 15 recruiting classes overnight. I'm sure it was all legit. And I'm sure the NCAA won't find any evidence of anything.

The Big 12 might be expanding.

This was coming as soon as they lost out on the final four due to not having a conference championship. They need 2(?) more members to hold one.

Text messages confirming Tunsil asked for money and seemed to be given a yes found.

The NCAA will, no doubt, be unable to find evidence of any wrongdoing.

The SEC has not had a good offseason.

Bama All-SEC starting OL in hot water. I'm sure the NCAA will allow him to play out the season.
