McDuck -- w/that moniker I assumed you are a Univ. of Oregon fan, though looks more like you're a Bama fan(?). Either way, All I can say is "Always GO COUGS (WSU); Go COUGS Always".

I feel bad for the poor kids who waited their whole life for the opportunity - or seniors who may not get another chance to play at this level. :banghead:

seniors who may not get another chance to pay at this level.

Guarantee most want to play. Problem is, decision makers bend over backwards for an extremely vocal minority.

The Big 12 Conference is going ahead with its season. To discuss the league's decision to play -- even as the Big Ten and Pac-12 chose to postpone their seasons -- is Jim Cramer joined by Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.

Bowlsby told Cramer that while the decision has been “portrayed as somewhat controversial,” the move is based on expert medical advice and science.

"As long as we stick for what's best for young people and as long as we stick to the best scientific and medical advise that we can ascertain, I think we're in a good spot. And that's what we did," Bowlsby said.

I'd like to see Alabama win, but Ohio State won't go down easily.

I agree. Justin Fields looks like one tough kid.

"as of Tuesday morning, approximately 95% of the money that had been wagered was on the Crimson Tide receiver. "

"On Sunday, a bettor with BetRivers in Illinois placed a $23,637.77 bet on Smith to win the Heisman Trophy at -556 odds, a sportsbook representative told ESPN. If Smith becomes the first receiver to win the award since Michigan's Desmond Howard in 1991, the bettor will win a net $4,254.80."

I think it looks like a good bet.

OH.......IO

​GO Buckeyes!!!!

Maybe EA Sports will be the next ramp.



Chatter that they are bringing back their NCAA football game though it could be long shot since the game got cancelled years ago over player rights.

Nice chart

 

[Bullitt]

Big 12 might soon be the Big 8 if Texas and Oklahoma leave for the SEC in 2025. ACC, Big 10, SEC, Pac-12 all thriving and "over capacity".

Wonder what the future of the Big 12 holds?
