NCAA’s new social media rule a new headache for coaches

0 comments by on 8/2/2016

OMG! Jim Harbaugh just RT me! (insert some sort of emoji). As of Monday morning, social media and college sports just got a whole lot more nuts. The NCAA is now allowing coaches to retweet, repost, and “favorite” recruits’ Tweets, but stopped short on actual interaction … which in and of its own right is […]

ACC Coastal Non-Conference Schedule Grades

0 comments by

As noted in yesterday’s piece about the ACC Atlantic division, I’m faced with a dilemma. The first three power conferences I graded each only played three non-conference games. I made my expectations pretty clear. With a few exceptions (either for teams who are expected to be College Football Playoff favorites or who are expected to […]

CFB Playoff committee finds it’s common sense, but network lobbying still worrisome

0 comments by on 8/1/2016

Money remains undefeated, taking down “tradition” in blowout style once again. The CFB Playoff committee sobered up and took the Rose colored goggles off (pun intended) and wisely moved their semifinal games from New Year’s Eve, dispensing what was termed in January of 2015 as a “new tradition” per Executive Director Bill Hancock. To be […]

ACC Atlantic Non-Conference Schedule Grades

So far, we have graded the non-conference schedules of the Big 12, Pac 12 (North and South), and Big Ten (East and West). Now that TSS is up to the ACC and SEC previews, I’m left with a dilemma. For the first three power conferences, I graded each only played three non-conference games. I made […]

Get ready. Michigan will meet the hype in 2016.

Hype is a funny thing. It completely and totally influences one’s personal beliefs and slants them in one direction before they ever experience what the hype is about. Observe your own thought process when someone says, “let’s go to Restaurant X to eat. They seriously have the best burgers in the state.” At that point, […]

There are a lot of high-profile college football games in Week 1 of this coming season. The slate is stacked. There are a lot of reasons for this, including, but not limited to, a rise in high payouts for high-profile neutral-site games and the fact that with more conferences moving to nine in-conference games, the […]
