After the opening playoff game some Tennessee fan started a Go-Fund-Me to raise $1 Billion to bring Smith to Knoxville.  I thought it was funny.

I hate it with a passion. Hate it.. NIL.. fine.. but there should be something that locks players into a university for X amount of time then.. Hate it.. as much as he heightens OSU's chances to keep winning big, I want to see OSU fans have the opportunity to enjoy him the next 2 years as a Buckeye. Not jump around to the highest bidder.. And sadly, you couldn't blame him for taking a bigger payday somewhere else either if that's the system.

I agree. There needs to be a comprehensive set of rules for NCAA. It's changed so much I don't really care what the rules are, but they are rules and everybody is able to know them.

no thursday/friday games???

Looks like DC Jim Knowles is heading to Penn State.   Welp.   Easy come easy go.  

It isn’t for the money- as OSU matched the offer.  

Appears to me at least, the philosophical difference that he had with Larry Johnson around how to operate the defensive line is the primary reason.  

[MrNubbz]

Reliable sources confirm that barring last second change of heart, Jim Knowles is headed to Penn State. He has notified James Franklin that he’ll accept their offer of well over $3 million to be highest paid coordinator in college football history. Knowles is from Philly.Where there's smoke.......
