So, obviously D1-AA isn't too thrilled about D1-A having a playoff since that was originally their distinction. So, in order to get more exposure they have decided to let a couple teams start their season a week earlier than any D1-A school to get an exclusive day of college football that's nationally broadcasted.
SHSU v. EWU kicks off August 23, 2014 on ESPN
smart move?
Earliest start to CFB in over 10 years apparently

Gotta watch what you say on gaming side, bro. They're very sensitive. They don't have the refined sense of humor that CFB GAF has.
Given that these are 2 of the top 10 FCS teams over the last 3-4 years, it's probably a good idea.
Since EDSBS/Spencer decided to wuss out and get responsibilities, he's no longer doing the Fulmer Cup.
He's passed it off to Reddit.
The Current Standings
Apparently, someone at William and Mary pulled a Jimmy Johns and got busted with damn near 20 felony charges.

That is impressive.
Shouldn't they have their own standings?

Are they playing at EWU on the Lava turf?

Today is my birthday, CFB bros. It's funny, living in Oregon... today is a beautiful day, the first in a long time.
On birthdays in Los Angeles it was always seemingly rainy or crappy weather. Weird stuff.

Thanks!
The job contract I had in Los Angeles blew up, a week before Christmas. Rent in Santa Monica is expensive, and I had some work I could do up here, while living a lot cheaper. Also, my parents moved up here a few years ago so the support is good. I feel like I'm getting old and I'm not at all where I want to be, and it's mostly because I'm getting crushed by student loans. So I'm focusing on living smaller and paying them off, at least the private ones, so that I can move on with my life, and maybe get health insurance someday.
Long story short: SoCal is beautiful, but too damn expensive, and I was just treading water there.
Oh shit they're play at EWU. Forgot about that dam turf.
Not sure if it's true anymore, but if you have at least one Direct Loan you can consolidate all your loans through Direct Loans. I was even able to consolidate private grad plus loans.
Good luck in you endeavors. I know I needed it.

Hm, I've already consolidated some, but I should take another look at this one. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks guys

So apparently Goldeneye007 will defend the honor of the great state of Florida with just as much conviction as he does the AAC.
Here comes the other shoe
Clemsoning the NCAA.
Apparently, this lawyer's a high profile lawyer, and this going in as an AntiTrust lawsuit is interesting.

Don't get sassy. You know damn well they're underpaid given the amount of money the sport brings in.

But it loses some legitimacy with the Rutgers basketball player thrown in the class action. How much does he feel like he should be paid when his team just lost to Louisville by 61 points?
It's a complex issue. If they start getting paid, is that taxed? Do schools continue to provide the benefits they currently give? I'm talking about free weights, food, tutoring, travel expenses. Do they get access to the various GA's and other "assistants" for free, or do they pay for them as well.
How much of this financial data (player and school) become public record?

The Cowboys just signed Brandon Weeden. Damnit Jerry Jones....Damnit Gondo
Happy week after Spring Break, y'all!
Some UGA players deposited their stipend checks via mobile apps and then cashed the physical copies as well. What a bunch of fucking idiots. One of the checks was for $71.50. Total amount of checks was $786.50. Not sure what they'll do to punish these guys, but if UGA didn't report this, it could be considered a compliance issue due to impermissible benefits.

Heard on the radio that he only counts $75k against the cap. Not too bad of a pickup IMO, considering the majority of teams in the NFL are pretty much up a creek if their starter goes down anyway.
They also mentioned that Orton wants to retire but if he does he has to pay back something like $3 million of a $5 million signing bonus, so I would bet that Orton is probably the real backup next season anyway.
Setting the stage for Johnny Football to go to Cleveland and save the day. Meaning he'll break his leg on the first snap.
He had his good moments in Cleveland in addition to his boneheaded ones.
Glad he's getting another chance.
True.
Although I have to admit that seeing Weeden hit Dez for a game-winning TD might make me squicken to the Cowboys.

Dont say this to browns fans. They hated Weeden, and thats saying somethings, because they dont even hate the browns.
Browns fans also love Colt McCoy for some reason.

Wooo! And I was worried we'd be the only team with suspended players. Now we can play the first game of the season as if it were a pre-season game.
I would expect suspensions for these players, but it's technically up to Coach Richt with these being misdemeanors. If he were the OBC, they'd probably get some extra laps at practice, but I'd expect more than that here. But, I'd be surprised if he announced that prior to the first game, because that's what he's been doing that the past few years.
Depends upon the university. If it's a public university, then their salary is available. Private, then not.
As for the rest, then their pay would definitely be taxed. I'm assuming all of the benefits would still be "free" to the "student" because it's in the school's interest to keep their "student" eligible to play.
The one positive is that this ensures that Grant will be gone after next year. I would be shocked if Mr. No Personality won any recruiting battles against Pearl.
I like Anthony Grant
Because you can pencil in an easy win?

Yeah you can consolidate the DL stuff, but not other stuff. Sadly the government now controls all loan consolidation for student loans so you're screwed in a lot of ways.
Good, we'll trade him to you straight up for Donovan.I like Anthony Grant
Why does that look like Mack Brown? And not look like OBC? Then again, he's hard to recognize when he doesn't have his constipated expression.

Baylor has added something called University of the Incarnate Word to their 2019 non-conference schedule.

It's a small commuter catholic school in San Antonio. Ricky Williams is currently their Running backs coach, but he'll probably be long gone by 2019
I'm sure he was a fantastic assistant. And he might be a great head coach if he would ever hire a complementary assistant to coach offense.

Yeah, I can't wait to start recruiting guys who are dumb enough to cash their stipend checks multiple times and assume nobody will ever figure it out. Im sure they will do just fine in their calculus classes.
Baylor's 2019 non-con schedule currently has Incarnate Word (only started playing football in 2009), UT-San Antonio (only started playing football in 2011), and Rice (is Rice).
