@Zarni, so this article just popped up in my news feed...

Oklahoma QB John Mateer has denied any involvement with sports betting after screenshots of his Venmo account went viral Monday night.

Mateer’s Venmo history no longer exists. The alleged transactions were from the fall of 2022 when Mateer was a true freshman at Washington State and one transaction referenced USC and UCLA. The transactions allegedly included "sports gambling" twice in the memo section.

In a statement issued Tuesday afternoon, Mateer said the transactions didn't have anything to do with sports betting.

lol. ya, sure kid

Way back in the day, when people wrote checks, I moved into my girlfriend's place when we decided to live together because her apartment was nicer. So, I'd write her a check each month for my half of rent, utilities, whatever. More than once, I put "for anal" or something similar in the memo line. I thought it was funny, she didn't particularly agree, but the point is: maybe it was a joke? I doubt it, but it's possible.

[Zarni]

So what you are saying is Mateer is doing anal with Roatan?

[Selmon Rules]

Not that there is anything wrong with that

Discuss!

[Kress]

The dude from SMU should be on there. Jennings. He's an entire team all by himself.

[Zarni]

I’s take Manning, Neusmeir, Allar and Beck over those 4

Ha! I like that one

Better than the hero dog?

Better than the hero dog?

That was cute.

[Phantom]

Do you realize Appalachian State University won the FCS championship game a year before that thing?


No? Yeah

It’s not as if ASu is bad. At least Michigan beat Tim Tebow and the Gators at the bowl game the same year.

[Zarni]

You tell ‘em. They were a really really good FCS team. Really good.

[Kress]

That stupid game landed us Dexter Jackson. No, not that one, the other one. The supposed kick returner one who ran either sideways or backwards to get out of bounds - or, if he could not, just fell down - if any opposing player got in the vicinity of potentially touching him.

[Phantom]

Anyone looking forward to the FSU-Alabama game? No? Yep

[Zarni]

Not really

[Noles1724]

sure, I'm interested. it'll be cool if we can have hope for at least a half of a game.

NCAA hammers Michigan with hefty fines, suspensions over sign-stealing scheme

The NCAA has handed the Michigan football program hefty fines and suspensions for their sign-stealing scandal. Michigan will receive a fine that is expected to be more than $20 million, including the loss of postseason football revenue for the next two seasons, according to ESPN’s report. Michigan’s head coach, Sherrone Moore, will also have a game added to his already-existing self-imposed two-game suspension that he will serve this upcoming season.

"Over the course of three seasons, the Michigan football program committed violations involving an off-campus, in-person scouting scheme, impermissible recruiting inducements and communications, head coach responsibility rules, individuals’ failure to cooperate and Michigan’s failure to monitor, according to a decision released by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel," The NCAA said in a press release. The NCAA said that the majority of violations in this case stem from former Michigan football staff member Connor Stalions' impermissible scouting schemes in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons. Stalions arranged for interns and other staff members to do off-campus, in-person scouting for future opponents. Those sent on the trip filmed and recorded their upcoming opponents' signs, which Stalions then deciphered. "In total, 56 instances of off-campus, in-person scouting of 13 future regular-season opponents occurred across 52 contests. Stalions' conduct resulted in a collective Level I violation of the impermissible scouting rule that expressly prohibits off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents," The NCAA said. Stalions and other individuals deliberately destroyed and withheld information regarding the investigation. The panel said that the "true scope and scale of the scheme" will never be known because of the destruction of evidence.

The NCAA also said that former head coach Jim Harbaugh, then assistant coach and now current head coach Moore, and former director of player personnel Denard Robinson all failed to meet the membership’s expectation of cooperation. "Their conduct ranged from destroying relevant materials to providing false and misleading information during interviews — including Stalions instructing an intern to ‘clear out’ emails, photos, texts and videos related to the scouting scheme," the NCAA said.

Below are the penalties the NCAA doled out:

• Four years of probation.

• $50,000 fine, plus 10% of the budget for the football program.

• A fine equivalent to the anticipated loss of all postseason competition revenue sharing associated with the 2025 and 2026 football seasons.

• A fine equivalent to the cost of 10% of the scholarships awarded in Michigan's football program for the 2025-26 academic year.

• A 25% reduction in football official visits during the 2025-26 season.

• A 14-week prohibition on recruiting communications in the football program during the probation period.

• Connor Stalions: An eight-year show-cause order, restricting him from all athletically related activities during the show-cause period.

• Jim Harbaugh: A 10-year show-cause order, restricting him from all athletically related activities during the show-cause period, which will begin on Aug. 7, 2028, at the conclusion of his four-year show-cause order from a previous case.

• Denard Robinson: A three-year show-cause order, restricting him from all athletically related activities during the show-cause period.

• Sherrone Moore: A two-year show-cause order, during which he is suspended from a total of three games. Michigan self-imposed a two-game suspension for Moore during the upcoming 2025-26 football season. The panel determined that a suspension for one additional game was appropriate. Therefore, Moore also will be suspended for the first game of the 2026-27 season. Apart from the three-game suspension, Moore is not prohibited from engaging in coaching or other athletically related activities during the show-cause period," the NCAA said.

So Harbaugh really did pull a Pete Carroll.

Pussy.

The Big Ten has considered an idea of a massive expansion of the College Football Playoff that would grow the postseason to 24 or 28 teams, sources told ESPN.

While the idea is in the very early stages, the proposal eliminates conference title games and offers a large number of auto bids for all four power leagues, sources said.

No. K. Thx. Bye

[Snake]

Oooooof.

People have their breaking point and the conferences seem hellbent on finding it.

[Kress]

Sources report that weeks 1 and 2 will now be considered preseason, with the remainder - starting at week 3 - being the beginning of the 125-team playoff. The free agency portal will remain open until week 7, but any player moving from an eliminated school to one still in contention will cost the transferee program $100k for every game the transfer athlete plays that season, plus the rights to an equivalent future commit.

I like it.

That made me look at what a Clemson throwback would be, because the school only ever uses three uniforms... ever. Orange home, White away, or Purple for military appreciation (honoring purple heart soldiers). That's it. Ever.

This, I guess, would be the old one?



That's a little bit of fugly. Almost Chicago-ish.
