The only chance a league has to last in the spring, in my opinion, is if they come to some type of an agreement with the NFL. A place for fring NFL players and Prospects might work

Seems to be our history that P5 teams (except Arkansas 😈) seem to peak the year they schedule us

None of the transfers have been added yet, unless they were on campus in the spring.

Be nice to your fellow Mean Green😎
Later in practice, Darden ran a nasty in-breaking route, spinning around cornerback Nate Brooks in coverage and making an uncontested grab in the middle of the field.

What is the purpose of this gathering? Is it a mini-camp? Is it an orientation? Will this session be of short duration and everyone reports in early August?
Guessing Summer School?

It will be interesting to see the long-term effects of this approach.
If it fails people will say he was crazy, If it works this board will be filled with "they have passed us by" and " why didn't we do this?"

Question regarding HS players who are still in HS as many districts have not finished - Once they are finished can they move in or do they have to wait until the start of the 2nd Summer session?

Would you leave the Sun Belt for CUSA at this point in time?

Going away? No. But there are undoubtedly less HS kids getting FBS scholarships across the country. Look at Texas State’s class. None.
https://247sports.com/college/texas-state/Season/2021-Football/Commits/
Teams are losing 10+ guys to the portal and replacing them with 10+ guys from the portal. But that eats into the 25-per class signing limit, so they can only bring on 10 or so high school kids when they used to bring in 20-25.
People continually overlook the impact everyone getting a free season of eligibility is having and are attributing it all to the portal. There is essentially one senior class exiting, split up between the end of last season (2020) and the end of next season (2021).
After 2022 teams will finally have a full senior class departure. At that point they will have to replenish, not just swap out. Hopefully by then we see something in place so that teams can replace the transfer they lose AND still bring in HS and JUCOs to replenish lost Seniors.
It's not the 4*/5* players who will be impacted it will be the lower 3* players. Schools are choosing to replace with potentially more "ready" players compared to kids who might have to work their way up the ladder. If the 25 per class rule does not change it will only get worse.
Why do I think it will change soon - While the NCAA could care less about the G5 impact, P5 programs are losing backup players and are not happy. When the P5 starts asking the change will come.

Yup. Have to change the rule. Something like 25 spots for high school and JUCOs (like normal), 10 for D1 scholarship transfers.
Also, if a team loses 20 scholarship seniors and 15 guys to the portal, if they went and got 15 guys from the portal they’d only have 10 spots to replace the departing seniors. Because of seniors getting an extra year this isn’t really affecting teams, but it will and the last thing we need is kids not getting scholarships because of the 25-limit when spots are available on the 85.
I heard one suggestion that sounded interesting. If the player chooses to transfer then the school would be able to replace that "slot", but if the school did not choose to retain, or encouraged the player to look elsewhere they would not get a credit towards that transfer. Not sure how you would determine if they were actually being pushed out?? A couple of other ransom thoughts --
Would like to see the "one time no sit" be available to incoming freshmen after completing two years at the school. They need to do something to incentify college to take HS players versus taking transfers.
With more transfers and less scholarships for HS players "better" players might be available for G5 school. The key will be for staffs to determine which kids will sign and hopefully stay and not play from the start to play one year and then transfer like the lineman this year from Charlotte who transferred to Arkansas. It's great to get the talent, but how much do you want to invest for someone with one foot out the door before they arrive?

Losses - Missouri, Liberty, SMU
Wins - Northwestern, UTEP
The rest of the conference games could go either way. The way transfers are coming and going it's hard to gauge how good we can be, or how good the rest of the conference might be.
OOC - I think Liberty might be the toughest game. Freeze has a team and a QB that could help him get back to a high level P5 job and I think he will be pushing hard. SMU's success depends on their QB play. If one of their new players steps up and outright wins the job they seem to have a lot of talent. Playing Missouri in between games with Tennessee and A & M could offer us a chance at being overlooked. Will be interesting to see how much they improve with a full offseason under Drinkwitz. If we don't beat Northwesters - let's don't go there. (1-3)
Conference - UTSA, Marshall, and UAB look to have good teams. I will never count out a Holtz coached team at La Tech. Rice, S-Miss, and FIU are teams that should not be better than us, but that does not mean we are much better than them. We should beat UTEP - Dimmel has this program in a mess. (4-4)
Looks like 5-7 is we play solid. If the D does not step up we could be 2-3 win team.

I really hope some of you, or those around you, are never accused of something and then not convicted. Guess you would walk away from your current life or wish those around you well, but see you later.

More concerns being voiced .......
Jon Rothstein, who covers college basketball, tweets that “multiple mid-major programs are opting to not play guarantee games against high-major programs because it gives power conference teams a ‘free live evaluation’ of future players who could move up via the transfer portal.”
If basketball coaches are having concerns, its logical to assume football coaches are having those same concerns that could be enough for those in college football to brace for.

The 25 per year limit will have to be changed soon ....
"Everybody is basically just suggesting, 'I'm not going to recruit high school players anymore,'" said Todd Berry, the executive director of the American Football Coaches Association, who has been sitting in on conference coaches' meetings along with the AFCA's own coaches' meetings. "Recruiting off other campuses is going to be the norm and high school recruiting is going to go away. I don't think there's any way around that unless the 25 initials gets changed. I don't think that's a hypothetical. I think that's a fact, because I know what the coaches are going to do because we're on these calls together."

2 minutes ago, Moobs said:Because charges like this get dropped all the time due to technicalities. Or because a victim chooses not to testify.
If another program wants to take him on, fine. Good luck to him unless they’re playing us. I just think there has to be equally or better qualified people out there to fill the spot than him. And without the baggage.
So, as far as your concerned, once accused and not convicted you should still be punished??

Curious, if the charges have been dropped why not allow him back if it was possible?

I have to believe PB will come up with schemes to free up Dion, or make sure others are in place to benefit if they double/triple team him
