NCAA: The Offseason is here

[SpookyTsuki]

Lane Kiffin apparently turned down a "prominent Pac-12 job" to stay in Tuscaloosa. Article I read didn't mention and guesses as to what said job was tho.

Probably usc unless it was recently. But I would hope it's usc. Helton isn't a championship coach

It was the OC job at UCLA.
Silly Bruins, always trying to take our sloppy seconds.

15-year contract extension between Ohio State and Nike is believed to be the largest college apparel deal ever. Once the deal goes into full effect in 2018, when Ohio State’s previous deal was to expire, its value will average $16.8 million per year. That is more than the amounts Texas and Michigan each get according to their recently signed deals with Nike, and more than Notre Dame reportedly receives in its deal with Under Armour, which went into effect in 2014. The Wall Street Journal first reported the extension.

With his current run at Bama, I would imagine he's got to be one of the most desired OC's in the nation.

Whew, that's a ton of money.

We (Bama) are also Nike, but I'm not sure about any of the details. I would assume we are going to re-up with them UNLESS they keep bothering us with these silly uniform concepts.

It was UCLA's OC gig. He and Mora Jr. would've been highly entertaining.

BYU and Cincinnati (and maybe others) sigh in despair.

I think if BYU were willing to drop the "we won't play on Sunday" thing for their other sports they'd be in already. They're not, so the Big 12 is basically saying "**** em".

Not sure who #12 would have ended up being. Cincy makes sense geographically, as do Memphis and Houston. Don't think any of those 3 is a big enough brand though. BYU would be but they're going to try the independent route for a bit first apparently.

Lane Kiffin isn't going to leave unless he gets a lot of money from a huge school.

Or an NFL job.

Jonathan Allen staying another year at Bama.

Tim Williams, Ryan Anderson, and Eddie Jackson (mentioned earlier in this thread) are coming back too. Reuben Foster and OJ Howard are still on the fence. The 2016 defense could be on the same level as this past year...

The way he falls up I'm just waiting for the Patriots to name him as their new HC the moment Belicheat retires.

1-LSU
2-Ole Miss
3-The school in Ann Arbor
4-Irish
5-tOSU
6-Clemson

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Rumor #1 is true: top 100 WR Binjimen Victor commits to tOSU, Buckeyes jump to #2.

...holy crap. Kid needs to start eating some White Castle.

 

[Hockeyfan02]

Signing day is in two weeks on the 3rd.

Sorry bout that.....my mistake. Guess when I heard about so many players rumored to sign today with tOSU, I assumed.

Any updates on how Harbaugh's slumber party with that kicker from Pennsylvania went?

 

[Tony Romo]

Don't be surprised when Texas brings in the best class in the state this year.

The other shoes dropped. 1 4 star and 1 5-star Maryland commit flipped to tOSU today.



Buckeyes now a clear #1.
