KDB was the only one who didn’t give a shit.
Just my opinion, it is more important than ever that schools maintain traditions that build and reinforce those connections. School bands, fight songs, mascots, chants, homecoming rallies, student and alumni travel to away games, local press and advertising coverage (those old Jim Owens and Micky Rooney Rainer commercials were the bomb) ... etc.
Edit: and winning at a high level. That solves everything.
Every college football fan is keenly aware that the players cycle through the program. They are all there for only a finite time. The difference now is many coaches (and some players) are mercenaries, and to be fair, top programs fire coaches asses before they get the chance to quit if they don't meet expectations, so there is a little turn about is fair play going on here. My only beef is don't sell yourself one way and act completely differently. Don't be a phony. -
while i agree with this... if things continue down this path theres no way it can continue as the old generations die off and the sport is full of nothing but mercenary alumniKingdome_Urinals said:

Tracy Lords’s twat?🤔🤔🤔dirtysouwfdawg said:
I feel like you have no clue what you’re talking about. Why is the kid liking Tracy fords twat about him and the qb/wr going to udub?RoadTrip said:
Nope. He ain't coming. He and several other kids on the team are pissed at Fisch and said so publicly yesterday. The young men haven't understood what this all means yet. The vast majority of them have 4 year, semi-pro careers and an opportunity to get a free education (for now). When do the fooball and basketball players not get full rides like the restnof the teams?EsophagealFeces said:

That is 20 to 30 years off. Penix and co. will love coming around, so will Myles, Budda, etc. They will not die for many years.phineas said:

I think within 5 years, after the SEC and B1G have solidified the new TV empires, there will be a process toward solving all this in which the conferences and networks agree to revenue share and collective bargaining is in place.
This will create clarity for transfers and coaching changes.
New lawsuits will also impact the game. -
That isn't true about any of those three, where are you getting your misinformation?RoadTrip said:
I don't know who specifically you were talking about but I was talking about Coleman, Fafita and McMillan from AZ. All 3 were on social media bagging on Fisch and saying they were committed to AZ. At least one of them (Coleman) has done a 180. But what I told you was true as of last night.dirtysouwfdawg said:

About 10 years ago, Beno and I had lunch at the California Kitchen in Bellevue. People kept coming up to the table to say hello to him. He said something like when he's in LA nobody knows who he is.Kingdome_Urinals said:
Nobody in the world knows who Beno Bryant is other than Husky fans. But to Husky fans he’s a life time celebrity.Southerndawg said:

That’s the bond between players, fans, and communities in college football that you can’t really get in the pros.
For most players it’s the most important part of their lives and even if you can scrape out a couple million in the NFL those fans won’t give a shit about you. -

I can only tell you what my son, who attends UoA and played with Coleman for 3 years, is telling me he's seeing them post on social media.dirtysouwfdawg said:

I'm curious how long you think this process might take and what the odds are of any of the big 4 or 5 top UoA prospects following Fisch might be.DerekJohnson said:
