There will never be a perfect system when your league has 133 teams in it. Div 1 is simply far too large to every have a perfectly satisfactory system of schedules and playoffs. You can't have this much money be on the line and not expect teams, coaches, and players to not try and take every advantage possible. Cupcake schedules, coaches moving in the dead of night, players transferring, etc.

I’m still laughing about ND only trotting out ten defenders with the game on the line. Twice in a row.

Just want to bring to everyone's attention that Kansas is currently ranked No. 24. Texas is playing No. 24 Kansas at home this weekend. Teams lose to ranked teams all the time. No shame in losing to a ranked team really. PostNouveau fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Sep 28, 2023 |

I forget the exact numbers, but it was something like a ranked team favored by 10 or more points only wins about 75% of the time, implying college football results are about 50% random, outside factors. We then pretend these small sample sizes of one game determine anything about who is better.

Somehow I get the feeling that that win rate is heavily influenced by the significant churn in the bottom half of the rankings, where the line between ranked and unranked can be as slim as one guy ranked you 24 that was enough to keep you from being 26.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be a lot of downside to him for fighting to get as much of that buyout as he can. I don't think anyone is clamoring to hire Mel Tucker right now. He seems to be sub-Saban rebuilding tour level at the moment at least. But the future always holds possibilities and it's better to get there with money from his point of view. I hope he never coaches again obviously, but, well we're college football fans and we know how it goes.

Judging by the typos in his lawyers demand letter he went bargain basement, so that's some savings. Would be funny if he lost so badly on this frivolous lawsuit that he had to pay msus attorney fees, not that msu deserves anything either. I don't see a suit where you admit to all of the bad behavior as being very strong. At most I can see msu paying him less than they'd expect to pay their lawyers.

If their relationship was entirely consensual and she never filed a complaint but he got caught anyway he would still be in violation of his contract and really a violation at pretty much any workplace in the country.

It's possible that he's un-hirable and this is the last money he can actually make. We've stepped up the game when it comes to back-balling coaches and sex pest seems like a case for that.

A "Lane Kiffin owned a Blockbuster" sign showing up on some random GameDay the week after he was fired (checks notes: at the Ohio State/Northwestern game!) is still one of my heartiest GameDay-related chuckles, up there with "aw gently caress it" and "not so fast, midget"
