NCAA Football 2024 Season

[JKLivin]

Reminds me of the Baker Mayfield incident. That one backfired on KU big time, too.

Belongs on the F the NCAA thread.

It was a good-natured joke. But, you do you, I guess. (Shrug)

Not a racist, but I could not understand more than 3 words spoken in that video.
I am old.

i don’t think some people know what defines a joke

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

CFP is really messed up. To me.
Rankings vs seedings makes little sense. To me.
How the heck are you going to give SMU and BSU byes (top 4 teams get byes) when they are ranked 8 and 10?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, conference champs this, conference champs that. Is ASU or ISU going to get a top 4 spot for winning the Big 12? Child please.
Is/are BSU and/or SMU better teams than Georgia, Ohio State, Bama, etc?

[KUTradition]

i think it seems extra messed up this year due to all the parity

[hartjack8]

I think it seems extra messed up because its the first year. Gutter is right a lot does not make sense.

The problem going to be some of the match ups do not make sense cause of the you won the conference things. I saw one projection where basically Texas and Georgia end up playing a third time. I really would like to see games against teams that do not normally run into each other.

The real issue is that a kid who, statistically, is more likely than not to leave college without a degree, not make it in the NFL, and end up at a job paying $20 an hour, is getting used to driving a $200K car, wearing a Rollie, and living large. These stories will not end well.

That's not really how it works these days but your concern is legit (based on the old days) and is admirable.
Just a FYI.....
I have seen and heard different numbers but my guess is THAT kid got over 250K to play at CU and next season THAT kid will probably be "earning" at least 500K and possibly/probably closer to a million.

On a related note......

At some point the gravy train ends. I can't imagine what I would be like if I had people throwing money and cars at me like that when I was 18 years old. More of a curse than a blessing, IMO.
