Texas announced a new NIL program today called The Pancake Factory that will pay every offensive lineman $50,000 a year to promote charities with Horns With Hearts.
His brother Jake, who was the #1 Tight end in the class of 2022, has decommitted from LSU as well. He had offers from pretty much everywhere.LSU QB Max Johnson (son of Brad) entering the transfer portal.
Bring him home to BB now.https://lsu.rivals.com/news/kevin-faulk-is-out-as-lsu-running-backs-coach
Brian Kelly has fired LSU legend and Patriots Hall of Famer Kevin Faulk.
Criminal that Nussmeier has to burn a redshirt year so LSU doesn’t have to play a WR at QB. Great opportunity for the NCAA to do right thing and step in to grant an exemption. Good luck with that though.LSU QB Max Johnson (son of Brad) entering the transfer portal.
Why would the NCAA want to favor LSU over other schools? Especially when this is a problem that is 100% of their own making?Criminal that Nussmeier has to burn a redshirt year so LSU doesn’t have to play a WR at QB.

They aren’t favoring LSU…..they just wouldn’t be penalizing the kid or making a mockery out of integrity of the game. Nobody cares if LSU wins or losses as the school gets paid regardless.Why would the NCAA want to favor LSU over other schools? Especially when this is a problem that is 100% of their own making?
Playing a WR at QB would be the option which is why I included “integrity of the game” as a reason for the waiver. It seems like you have something out for LSU in claiming they botched their coaching job resulting in QB’s transferring when this occurs at most schools when there is a coaching change this time of year. I mean we’ve got schools with coaches in place whose healthy QB’s are walking away from the team prior to bowl games. What they really need to do is end these silly post-season money grabs that nobody cares about.That’s all fine, but you still haven’t answered why LSU should benefit by getting an extra year of eligibility for their QB of the future when the problem is that they screwed up their coaching situation so badly that the other two QBs transferred?
Also - given your (completely justified, IMO) scorn for a meaningless bowl game, why doesn’t LSU fix the problem by playing their emergency QB for the game?
Next they’ll ban the lacrosse/hockey play. No Fun League indeed.There was a second part to that interpretation. This play is also now illegal:

Foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.
I have no feeling one way or another about LSU, and the bolded strikes me as preposterous, since I am not the one who is saying that LSU should be treated differently. In fact, I'm doing precisely the opposite, which is saying that it sucks for a player to have to burn a year of eligibility based on circumstances beyond their control, but I don't understand the argument for special treatment when these sorts of situations pop up everywhere, all the time.Playing a WR at QB would be the option which is why I included “integrity of the game” as a reason for the waiver.

Some defender was no doubt going to "outlaw" it by taking one for the club and clobbering the qb the next time it happened. Glad it didn't come to that.I was happy to see that the NCAA has outlawed the Kenny Pickett fake slide play (the ball will now be considered dead as soon as a player starts or fakes a feet-first slide).
That one I think is on the defense. I assume if the qb walked away and lined up or went in motion there would be no problem w/that? Why should gesturing to the sideline matter?Next they’ll ban the lacrosse/hockey play. No Fun League indeed.
I didn’t me to come across accusatory as I have no skin in the game either. I also don’t feel the NCAA would be favoring LSU since I’d propose they do this regardless of the school. The player here is much more negatively affected than the school, which to me isn’t relevant. These situations don’t occur “all the time” as I don’t recall there ever being a similar situation as these massive bowl optouts are relatively new.I have no feeling one way or another about LSU, and the bolded strikes me as preposterous, since I am not the one who is saying that LSU should be treated differently.

The obvious solution is... you can't hire a new coach until after you've played all your games. If you want to hire a new coach and your QBs all transfer/sit out then you decline the bowl bid and leave the money on the table.I didn’t me to come across accusatory as I have no skin in the game either.

Got him, then lost him, and got him again. 2nd highest recruit ever - first was VY. May this turn out like that.Looks like the Longhorns have picked up #1 2021 QB Quinn Ewers from the portal. Highest rated QB since Vince Young. There is hope.

I didn't have Barstool paying a player to go to a HBCU on my bingo card.Travis Hunter, the #1 prospect per 247 and Rivals, chose Jackson State over Florida State.
They'll both be at FSU in 2 years.I didn't have Barstool paying a player to go to a HBCU on my bingo card.
No, paying Hunter. Barstool is just the middle man. I suppose it might not be coming directly out of Deion's pocket.You're suggesting Deion is paying Barstool?
Why does it seem like Bo Nix has been playing college football for the last decade?Bo Nix announced he is leaving Auburn and entering the transfer portal. He was recruited by Cincinnati and Florida prior to committing to Auburn.
Think we see a ton of this now. Freshmen and sophomores who have breakout years can all now go “pay me or I’m out.”
It might be. If we see Jaxson Dart enter the portal then it increases the odds considerably.Isn’t this more “My coach left and I’m gonna follow him”?
Dart entered protocol today. Has to be Caleb to USC now.It might be. If we see Jaxson Dart enter the portal then it increases the odds considerably.
Not just current FR and SO. It potentially has some effects at the HS level. Note the two flips that Jackson State HC "Neon" Deion "Prime Time" Sanders was able to swing: the consensus #1 player in the country - CB Travis Hunter, and the #4 WR - Kevin Coleman. Both were verbal commits to Florida State. Hunter flipped on NLI signing day back in December. Coleman flipped during his reveal at the All American Bowl in San Antonio this past weekend.Think we see a ton of this now. Freshmen and sophomores who have breakout years can all now go “pay me or I’m out.”
That's what I've been waiting for. Has to be Caleb joining Riley out west.Dart entered protocol today. Has to be Caleb to USC now.
