Really disappointing efforts from most of the SEC-
Bama loses to Mich
Tenn and Tex lose to Fuckeyes
UGA had a poor effort

With the NIL teams like Notre Dame, Michigan & yes Ohio State have more revenue then the likes of Alabama, LSU and even Georgia. Texas, well, they have plenty of resources, however, For the times they are a-changin'

Isn't it illegal for the schools to pay the athletes?

Isn't it illegal for the schools to pay the athletes?

Not anymore. The new athlete-revenue sharing world, at least at the highest levels, will be built on transactional recruiting relationships within a system that permits universities to use direct school funds in a more regulated structure featuring a compensation cap and new enforcement arm.

With NIL era ending, college sports is on verge of seismic change. How will schools adapt with industry in upheaval?

College football’s more professionalized era arrives in July, and historic powerhouses like Ohio State and Texas could lose both their inherent recruiting advantage and their financial edge.

Whatever RT Cameron Williams was paid this year, he should give some back for his pass block effort on Jack Sawyer at the end of last night’s game.

Couple of things to keep in mind on that play and Williams. Williams is playing hurt, so he's gutting it out and Williams was leaning left because the linebacker (Cody Simon) was a threat too in that area although he stepped back, which enabled Sawyer to get the edge and the rest is history.
