OFFICIAL 2017 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD - Spring Game schedule on first page

The early period doesn't help any of the bigger elite schools. Less people will get commitable offers as a result of this.

How will it prevent that?

The NOI binds the school and the player together right?

Let's say ur a borderline FBS recruit committed to Toledo (your only FBS offer) if you sign your LOI in December and Candle gets hired by someone in January, your safe now from getting dropped before NSD by the new staff, no?

Those kids aren't going to get the LOI sent to them in December I assume

The American Football Coaches Association is forwarding a proposal to the NCAA that would allow players to participate in up to four games of a season without burning their redshirt year. If passed, theoretically, a coach could unleash his touted four-star freshman running back in the TaxSlayer Bowl.

“I think that would be pretty intriguing to some of the fan bases,” said AFCA executive director Todd Berry, “which might legitimize some of those bowl games and make them more interesting.

Following the AFCA’s board meetings last week in Phoenix, Berry said that while McCaffrey and Fournette made headlines, players shutting it down before a lower-tier bowl game is “not a new thing.” While those particular stars dealt with legitimate health issues last season, others in the past might develop a “magic injury” right before the bowl.

 
And yet, this is the first time Berry has sensed any traction for a proposal he said he first began pushing nearly a decade ago. The former Army (2000-03) and Louisiana-Monroe (2010-15) coach became the AFCA’s full-time executive director just last year.

But first, it must go through the NCAA’s exhaustive legislative cycle.

First up, the newly formed Division I Football Competition Committee, chaired by Arizona State AD Ray Anderson, will discuss the proposal at its May 16 meeting. If they’re on board, they forward the proposal to Division I’s Football Oversight Committee, chaired by Bowlsby. That committee could then formally sponsor legislation to be considered by the larger Division I Council, with the possibility of going up for vote at January’s NCAA convention.

By then, we will have gone through another bowl season and found out just how widespread the skipping-bowls option has become — and whether treating them as a pseudo-audition for next season just might renew fans’ interest.

If you recall, Keyvon had vision problems at SC (because the Kiffin/Sark staff somehow never figured out that he needed glasses.) Dude was constantly in position then would misplay the ball in the air. It never occurred to anyone to check his vision.

He goes to Buffalo off his measurables, gets contact lenses and all of a sudden is putting up league leading defensive numbers 

  **** really is embarrassing.

P.S. why didn't anyone tell me Swag Kelly got drafted????!

You gonna tell us who it is?

O'Maury Samuels future Michigan RB

 

[swendro]

Oh ****. Guess I didn't recognize him with the hat on.

Yeah, he's a beast.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Is he any good?

 

[Bobby Layne]

Is he any good?

Played HS ball in NM tho so the level of comp is really suspect. 

 

[witnesskb24]

That looks like one of them grown men that bama always has

 

[zs05wc]

Is he any good?

I think he had 1st place testing scores at one of The Opening Regionals or something like that. He's a 4* kid but I've read mixed reviews about how good he is. I was happy they held onto him after Kareem Walker stuck with Bama and he sort of looked around.

Actually Kareem Walker is at Michigan. Who am I thinking of?
