I have no idea what this means. I don't have a narrative about Rhule.

I have witnessed it first hand in practice. I don't need a video. You can coach hard without losing your shit on your players If that's what you're referencing.

that post was a passive aggressive non sequitur aimed at me.

He was a whipping boy on here by many for years. I for one have always been glad he's been part of this team. WR blocking has gotta have been driving him nuts. Not sure why that's been happening. I know he's not coaching them but sure he still sees it

I go to Vegas every December. Most times I stay on the Strip; sometimes Downtown. Downtown is a little less expensive, and it's easier to find lower table limits (If that is one of your goals). But Downtown is also a little more 'grungy'. It's usually a guys trip for me (my wife has only gone a couple of times) so I don't worry too much about making sure everything is 'high end' - either Downtown or on the Strip.

I like to play poker, and there is only one poker room downtown (Golden Nugget), which is why I'm usually on the Strip. West side of the Strip is noticeably 'nicer' than the East side.

Sportsbooks may be another consideration. If you are going to be there on a football Saturday or Sunday, Circa (downtown) and Westgate (off the Strip but on the Monorail) are awesome places to wager and watch the games.

Will many NCAA teams begin to have a "practice squad" or something similar.? Those players won't be on the official 105 roster but would be held in some sort of reserve capacity. They could still get some NIL deal as compensation (cost of attendance) for being associated with the team but not on the 105. What is stopping them from being able to attend team meetings, do film study, and have access to workout facilities. If a player on the 105 gets injured, or decides to transfer, they get replaced by the practice squad player.

The good news is 105 gets you 4 deep at EVERY position....theoretically

It’s not hard to find videos of Rhule “hard coaching”. Unless you don’t want to find things that contradict your BS narrative.

College football players are not employees. NIL compensation is a privately contracted arrangement independent of the college. Just about everything you posted above is speculative, at best.

You started this exchange by boldly proclaiming that “college football is dead” in light of the fact that it is demonstrably more popular and more lucrative now than at any other point in the history of the sport. It’s not dead.

while they operate independently, NIL collectives, which pay the lion's share of collegiate athletes, are affiliated with their respective universities.

that line is much more blurry than you make it out to be.

literally nothing about Rhule's program appears organized or well-oiled.

literally nothing.

glad you enjoy hearing him speak. it's clear most everyone else has heard enough and wants to see it on the field.

you do this pig-headed thing where you damn the torpedos (reality) and put your foot in the ground about certain people, insisting that reality isn't reality and anyone who uses their eyes and brain is being emotional.

same exact script with purdy (he'll be a UDFA! nope, he's a Mountain West benchwarmer on a terrible team) now repeating itself with our head elf.

I disagree.

parlaying a +450 ML underdog with a -110 spread makes no sense

I know they are not employees (probably will be soon). College football is , was, to be played by amatures. The players are no longer amatures, they are professionals now. Colleges previously would have football players for 4-5, develop them, knowing they would be there. Fans knew the rosters and watched the team develop. Players can transfer as many times as they want, and the top tier athletes prostitute themselves to the highest bidder. Universities in the B1G must honor their scholarships for 4 years, but now the players can leave when they want... I will say it again: this is not college football.

Lane Kiffin was on Cowherd yesterday explaining how he handles the transfer portal. Basically, you can take some questionable locker room guys, but you can't too many and you have to have them at a position group that is mature and stable.

He also had an interesting take on why he plans to stay in CFB. Said in CFB you get rewarded for winning. Winning equals better recruiting. In the NFL winning gets you higher draft picks. I think they also give you a harder schedule?

They do. It’s much more of a business than CFB, though that gap is closing.
