Week 5 college football thread - The Bamachurian Candidate

You’re telling me there’s no unlv alum that can’t float 88,000 to keep this kid happy?

 

There was no doubt that college athletes should be compensated for their talents.

If you want to really go back, the first domino was the eastern schools telling Paterno to shove his all-Eastern Conference idea up his ass and he took his ball to the Big 10. It’s been shuffling and reshuffling ever since.

 

Concurrent with that in the summer of 1990 was Arkansas bolting from the SWC. That destabilized one of the old line conferences and even after merging into the Bog 12 the wound never quite healed.
