Hopefully, at some point, the NCAA makes some rules to get things under control a bit. Players can still get paid (big money, too) without college football turning into a nonsensical free-for-all. The sport definitely needs a good long-term business model and audience satisfaction must be a factor.
Miami is losing momentum on the recruiting trail. As it relates to Rashada, there’s just too much evidence out there that Mario is a QB killer; it’s going to take major changes and years to fix that rep.

Sure hope so because if Nix doesn't come back next year we're screwed if our options are TT and an untested Butters. Here's hoping the staff corrects the one egregious error of this year, not seeing that TT is a bust and giving Butters a chance to come in the game and run the offense with the ones when we're up big. Big Sky Ty or 3 and out Thompson just looks inept, disinterested and over his head to me. He's had 3 years to figure s*** out.

I've said before that he looks disinterested when he gets in. He looks like he doesn't care. They need to let Butterfield in

It's not Ty's fault that he wasn't developed for 2 years. Then again, I think it was STU who said it when he committed. STU's (or whoever that poster was) said that he was a 1 read guy [ie. locks onto only 1 guy and doesn't go through progressions] with a big arm. Maybe we've gotten to the "can't teach an old dog new tricks" stage but who am I to judge.
Luckily the Beavs didn't have what it took to get JT Daniels also. I know Daniels hasn't had a great season, but he is still way better than Gulbranson and would likely have had quite a bit of success at Oregon State. The Beavs would be a really good team if they had better QB play. Here is the latest article from Canzano detailing what JT Daniels was looking for when he visited the Beavs.

One of my close friends is neighbors with a beaver assistant coach and he said the Daniels recruitment was going great until his dad got involved. Started making outrageous demands that the beavs literally couldn’t afford. Dad just saw an opportunity to cash in.
