GDT: The official NCAA Football thread

Liberty U hired Hugh Freeze. What a joke.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

As a Tarheel fan I like the hire of Jay Bateman from Army to be the co-DC. He has a good amount of NC ties and if he can get their secondary to play like they did against Navy, I am 100% behind the hire. Only concern I have is that Army does not play the strongest schedule so while their defense ranked really high I am curious to see if he can continue building at a larger program. I'm excited to see improvement no matter how much.

Justin Fields is planning to transfer from Georgia. Here is the list of schools interested.

Congrats to our Wake Forest fans here. @Chrispy @JustHereForTheFights

Not sure who else if any.

Boston College and Boise State game in Dallas has been cancelled due to lightning.

Looked like very few people were there to begin with but that would SUCK to have that happen

Harbaugh continues to be the single most overrated coach in the country. Paid $8 million to be 1-11 against top 10 teams.

On the flip, holy f*** was I completely off on Mullen. He's exactly what UF needed.

Notre Dame are such frauds, just like 2012

I bet they lose to both Ohio State and Michigan State next season. That would be hilarious

 

[SaskCanesFan]

Pretty Meh semi finals this year. Would have preferred Georgia and OSU

 

[HisIceness]

Wow another Alabama-Clemson matchup. How exciting. I'd rather watch Carolina Hurricanes Hockey.

Actually wait, I don't.

 

[Brock Anton]

I'm so over Alabama-Clemson. The only team spending on their level is Georgia, everyone else needs to drop bigger bags.

Given the skyrocketing coat of tuition, I would very much be ok of the sport just collapsed on itself now. Spending is out of control athletically and acadmically and the bill is being passed to students at an ever increasingly rapid rate. If I wanted to send my daughter to VT, where I went, it would cost $40k per year out of state, and about $20k in state. No education is really worth that, when the average job right out of college pays between $30k-$40k.

I feel that. The fees for the college I attended are now:

- $54,818/year tuition
- $15,136/year housing (for a double room; divide by 2 for a single room)
- $2,800/year other supplies

That adds up to $POCKETBOOKMOLESTATION per year. College in America is a freaking joke; you know what you get out of it? Crippling f***ing debt. You don't even get the job offers you used to get. It's a scam.

I have cousins who did 2 years at a feeder community college, then transfered to penn state. They got the degree and the "experience" at little more than half the cost of 4 years at penn state.

Exactly the kind of thing I'm planning to push for my own kid(s). Or send them to Canada or something. Student loan debt is a nightmare and bankruptcy won't save you. It's borderline criminal.

Mark Richt retires from Miami out of nowhere. Crazy stuff. Not great timing for Miami, but eff those guys.

Government guaranteed loan with only a signature needed. Schools have 0 incentive to reduces costs and not push it over to the those borrowing the money.

And Miami hired it's former D coordinator Manny Diaz that had just left to take the Temple job.

We are a country of borrowers, sadly.

It's one thing if a highly motivated student is going for a medical and/or law degree, or something like that. The degree has meaning. However, in my line of work (software developer) you need to get into the workforce ASAP and an advanced degree is only worthwhile if someone's paying you to do it, not the other way around.

Okay Texas A&M

Godspeed Ryan Finley!

James Franklin is so overrated. He really is.
