Miscellaneous 2023 Offseason Thread

[CatsbyAZ]

Place to dump non-B1G stories –

In what became a footnote during last week’s National Championship Game broadcast, Herbstreit said this: "Breaking news from Prime... Colorado's gonna open up with Arizona State in their first game and then they're gonna play TCU in their second game."

Giving Prime any kind of attention during the CG broadcast…:tool:

But now it sounds like the potential Week Zero matchup between Colorado and Arizona State has been scrapped, in part because of Sanders’ behavior (https://247sports.com/Article/Deion-Sanders-Week-0-game-Colorado-Buffaloes-Arizona-State-Sun-Devils-canceled-202680498/):

“The Pac-12 approached teams with an opportunity to play Colorado in a Week 0 game to capitalize on Sanders' debut as the Buffaloes' head coach. Arizona State jumped at the opportunity, sources told 247Sports.”

“Plans for an early sneak peek at the Deion Sanders era with a Week 0 matchup between Colorado and Arizona State to open the 2023 season have been nixed, a source told 247Sports on Wednesday. Officials stepped in and halted progress after Sanders prematurely leaked news to ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit on College GameDay.”

Ya big splash that will fizzle out. Almost like Frost trajectory but he started coaching at a much younger age than Prime - as do most coaches

Don't underestimate Deion, he's as into Jesus as Dabo.  He just happened to go to the same school of bling as Joel Osteen, lol.

this. I would not bet against Deion. He's going to flip Colorado fast into a winner.

He'll have them in scandal.

Why?  CU isn't a religious school, is it?

[Mdot21]

yeah, I doubt it. NIL is here. It's legal to pay players. He's a huge personality. And oh yeah he's also THE GREATEST CORNERBACK TO EVER PLAY THE FN GAME. Recruits will want to play for him. Especially defensive backs. He'll have no problem recruiting guys.

Tampering, as well as breaking NIL rules.

The NCAA forbids using NIL money for recruiting.

The game has changed.

El Oh El. The NCAA is f**king JOKE. Tampering will be very hard to prove and even so- even if they can prove it- he'll just get a slap on the wrist from those limpdick losers at the NCAA.

The NCAA can't forbid jacksh*t. They are nothing useless organization. A dinosaur. Relic of the past that will and must die.

There is no way they can stop NIL for recruiting. Just about every school out there is already using NIL to recruit players.

yup
