Anyone think the ncaa may be intentionally blowing up college football as a fuch you response to the nil and various other lawsuits? If we can't have it, then we'll burn it to the ground out of spite.

What they SHOULD be looking to get rid of is that goddamn targeting penalty. That abomination is the WORST Period. Rule Period. EVER. Period. In the history of any sport on any continent ever.

Yep. Back to the sixties and seventies when Alabama would have 150 players on scholarship that included nearly all the top talent in the southeast.
Good bye college football, it’s been fun knowing you.

I think that won't be much of a problem. HIS recruits this year, weren't screwing up. Most of what's leaving is Mullen's guys. I think the core he keeps is bought into his culture, and anyone he recruits will know clearly the expectations in this regard. If anything, the mass exodus and reboot quickens his ability to change culture to fit his plan.

I don't believe it is NCAA saying F-you. On the on hand, if the SEC-B10 left and made their own college football system, as we've heard discussed, who believes they wouldn't write their own rules to do just this? On the other hand, NCAA trying to get ahead of it and say 'we were thinking of this' might be a way for them to try and keep a finger-hold on the sport so as to retain the biggest money maker in college athletics rather than lose the sport to a break-away mega-conference entity. For all the mid to small schools, this is a non-factor regardless. For the big schools and conferences, it might (is likely to?) happen either way.

A couple notes on this.
Torrence did not allow a sack in his entire collegiate career.
And as well as we did with penalties, I think it’s important to note that Gouriage virtually led the entire country in penalties by an OL.
That makes sense since he had the most time under Mullen

i was assured here numerous times that fat hev, despite his lack of crootin was one of the best OL coaches in CFB.

What they should do to avoid any remaining pretense is to remove the blue logo and just wave a white flag.

USA Today rating new coaches
D+
Billy Napier, Florida (6-6)
Napier's first team got to bowl play with six wins but lost every game that mattered, including rivalry matchups to Tennessee, LSU and Florida State. The Gators also managed to lose to Vanderbilt, which would be enough alone to drop Napier a full letter grade.

I was listening to Full Ride a few days ago and they torched UF, specifically Stricklin. Childers went on this rant about the money he’d spent and how he fired a successful coach who was well respected in the business, spent a fortune to create all these new staff positions, and got 6-6 out of it. It was largely to appease Mullen, who is one of the cohosts along with Nuheisel, and Dan even chimed in about the new facilities and new budget that he’d never had. It was an awful few minutes. Of course, no mention of last year being the same or worse. Just crushing the terrible decision by SS to make the move he made. Napier really needs to finish this class strong and have a substantially better year next season, if for no other reason than to stop the perception that he was a downgrade, because that’s what the national media are largely running with, which can create perception and damage recruiting.

Why does Florida have 4 rivals?
Does OSU? USC? BAMA? UGA?
How many played a scheduled like this with the youngest team in P-5?

All the football shows talking about the Gators with Mullen their have zero ethics. If they didn’t think his laziness and personality weren’t reason enough, then no judgement either.
And agree that Napier better get to hoe’n that row

Meh. We weren’t winning any trophies with Mullen at the helm regardless of how lazy he got or not. The team he had with Trask behind center should be proof enough of that.
If nothing else comes of the BN era, I believe he’ll leave us much better off than we he arrived.

If we can't see the focus on recruiting, talent evaluation and positive culture then we are lost as a fan base.
Sure, I agree Napier may have been too strategic and not tactical. Let's see what next year brings.
But Napier is not lazy and he knows talent.

This will change when the divisions go away. I believe they will stop our rivalry with LSU. I'm also curious with the expansion of the playoffs that we possibly drop FSU as well. I'm fearful teams will schedule very weak out of conference teams to limit the chances of losses.

I think our annual game against the clowns was mandated by the State Legislature.
