Listened to the podcast this morning, as expected it was great. As a lifeling AAWU, Pac 6-8-10-12 fan I am crushed about UCLA and USC leaving but no one in their right mind could blame them. I will say to my grave the Big 10 is foolish to give the SEC a chance to horn in on the West Coast. It's doubtful but its it possible they could try and get Ore, Wash and the Bay area schools. If they asked them how could they say no?.
With all this TV money being paid to these conferences it will pretty much be ten minutes commercials two minutes football game. So they can pay the bills.
Times are changing? Pay to stay? When do we say no? I guess, for me, I have said it. When will we start paying high schoolers to play? Are we and I missed it? Can we, just for another moment, relish the kid hugging that pitcher?
No. Marching forward to what? When will enough money and treats be enough? Never. Greed knows no boundaries.
Call me old -fashioned. Call me old. I wish we had drawn a line in the sand decades ago.
Hi John. Florida Gator alum, and Bald faced Truth subscriber, here. We're incredibly excited to get to open the season vs. Utah. Most of us think it's a loss but if our QB Anthony Richardson is a good as the NFL people think he can be I wouldn't be surprised if UF pulled off the upset. I'm especially looking forward to visiting Utah next year.
I think Oregon was lucky that Justin Wilcox turned them down. Wilcox is a great person and a good coach, but I'm not sure he has what it takes to run a top-flight program. Except for one year, he hasn't been much of a recruiter. Cal gave him financial security, why take on the pressure?
I don't see Oregon beating Georgia, but I think Lanning will do a good job for the Ducks and will recruit well against the rest of the Pac-10. They may lose him to the SEC at some point.
Wow...I wish I could got back and take a shot of playing college Football again...Maybe they could send a few bucks my way..O well you can never go back so lets march forward here and go Beavers/Ducks in 2022

I am so blessed to read what John Canzono writes each day. I appreciate his style and solid, honest reporting. Thank you John!

Wisconsin and Braelon Allen will put a hurt on WSU.

Go Beavs!
Great “Swamp” image choice.
The way this NIL stuff is going, this sport indeed does feel like “the swamp” right now
Great roundup JC.
