FINALLY!!!!! The hammer is dropping for the shoe money scandal in college hoops!

Who'd they go get? Arizona whose head coach was the most mentioned name? Duke? Maybe Clemson whose asst bball coach admitted on tape Dabo was paying players and they were trying to set the same thing up for bball? Kansas? Maryland? Michigan? So, so many schools...who was it?

Oklahoma State...

To be safe, they should ban Duke as well.

I know my team is playing an FCS team, but FBS teams should not be playing FCS teams if they want BCS consideration.

Alabama is playing a 3 win FCS school. They should immediately be disqualified from ANY bowl game.

Why do they even bothering reviewing plays?

PSU RB has his right knee down ball is inches from the goal line. Clear, indisputable evidence he was short, yet they rule the TD anyway. FOX brings in their rules guy and confirms the player was short, but he likes the call because "he doesn't like reviewing minutiae".

What?

Listen, they were going to score anyway, but why do we have review if we're not going to overturn obvious calls?

OSU has dominated this game in every category, but has somehow not scored every time. Thus, PSU gets a TD, then a TO on the next play and the Bucks are only up 7. Crazy.

On the plus side, this will be the first time this year the starters play in the 4th quarter. It'll be good for them to get that practice...if they win.

PSU's starting QB went out and their backup has completely changed their game plan. OSU has no answer yet. You know, except to fumble on back to back possessions in their own territory.

FYI, another review (a fumble, third for OSU on the day) just went against OSU with obvious evidence against the call on the field.

Finally PSU turns it over. Or should I say finally an OSU DB holds onto an INT? This should be the 3rd pick...

Despite the INT PSU has a legit QB controversy now. This freshman came in and has completely sparked PSU's offense by adding the dimension of him being a hard runner. He reminds me of Cardale Jones, only 3 inches shorter and white.

Officials just made another terrible call. 4th and 7 for PSU. The QB moves to the center to change the play and the center snaps the fucking ball! Instead of a TO on downs, they call false start! WTF!?

PSU didn't convert on the next play.

Bucks survive their own mistakes. Should have blown out PSU, but allowed them to stay in the game.

I genuinely don't know why they planned to run all day against the nation's top run D when that team's pass D is #50.

Worked out, but weird.

This week or for the final standings?

If they win the next two there's a chance they could be #1 heading into the CFP.

I want them there in the final standings. But the earlier it happens, the better it sticks.

Schiano and Rutgers talks break down.

Sounds like he wanted better facilities and more pay for assistants. He's not wrong. If you want to be competitive more than one season out of every 10, if Rutgers even gets that, you have to get kids there with good coaching and facilities.

The B1G needs to boot Rutgers badly.

Every year, same story. MSU sucks in Nov/Dec, then goes on a tear.
