These kinds of shady things used to exist only at JUCO and NAIA levels - unless you’re the SEC, when it was just done in secret. Now it’s in the open at all levels - with a LOT more $$$ in the mix.

When a school recruits a player from another school, BEFORE they enter the portal, that's not regulated. This stuff happens and NCAA "looks the other way".You are right. It’s not regulated. And that’s not the NCAA’s fault. That’s the courts at work.

But that’s the world we live in.If you look on LU’s sideline you certainly saw a coach and team who built a culture and a program. But on the whole you are right. That’s why I said it’s going to need AD’s and Presidents to have patience. Not something that is currently in abundance
I’m happy for freedom for the student-athletes. I’m all for bringing a system that was cloak-and/dagger into the light. But I do have a problem with the byproducts. And I hope @Purple Haize is right and it does eventually settle down. I coached for the relationship, to change lives. Hard to do that when you’re never getting four years with a kid, when you’re lucky to get two.

Great leader and was the QB in some ginormous wins (BYU and Arkansas). Definitely a contributor to where we are at now as he helped us transition from FCS to FBS successfully. Thanks for being a Flame, JB!aredd33 wrote: ↑December 2nd, 2023, 11:58 am Pete Thamel just said Johnathon Bennett is in the portal. That’s not very surprising to me.That's surprising to me.

JB helped us get to where we are today, and I wish him much success wherever he lands (unless its somewhere he ends up playing against us).aredd33 wrote: ↑December 2nd, 2023, 11:58 am Pete Thamel just said Johnathon Bennett is in the portal.
