Can’t really blame them for taking advantage of the rules.

I’m watching the College Football Playoff on ESPN……… sounds like a Used Car Salesman Convention.

Is it news because it's Indiana ..?

Colorado was 1-11 when they hired Deion Sanders, and his first class had more than twice as many Transfers in.

The thing that is missed in these comparisons, though scarcely touched upon, is in Indiana's case, they had nearly half their transfers from James Madison.

It mentioned that last part in the article ... it doesn't contrast that statistic with Sanders' Transfer Class which had 4 and 5 Star recruits from other Power 4 (5) programs.

Cignetti is doing more, with less, in his first season as the Hoosiers head coach, than what Deion did with the Buffaloes last year.

Indiana: 10-0, first time in school history
Colorado: 4-6, this time last season

I watch the interviews with the players for Cignetti who transferred to Indiana with him.

They seemed very enthusiastic to play for him. They bought in, and were there to win. These were guys that were recruited from high school to play for a coach, and developed in his system. And they want to finish their Collegiate Careers playing for the guy who believed in them.

Those kids didn't transfer for a paycheck.

But you cannot tell me convincingly that the players who transferred to Colorado did so without guarantees.

The stark differences between the 2 schools are ever so apparent. Yet, it is only being put to light, now, because a traditional bottom feeder is doing it better.

Colorado has a history of winning. They competed for Big 8 Titles, and later for Big XII Championships. They even went to the Pac-12 Championship game one year.

Indiana is just the little Basketball School who could.

And this season, up to this point, they have.

Tuberville is just out beating his drum, that’s what politicians do, trying to gain support for whatever…….

What I would like to know is what are the issues that are going to be addressed if the Fed does step in…….. are they going to pass laws or grant authority or what????? What’s the purpose and what are the goals and objectives of Federal Intervention???

Is this intervention simply to grant authority(s) with the hope of having uniformity across College Athletics and the States that the schools, conferences and the NCAA have failed to provide and enforce?????

Since, IMHO, the best measure of future performance is past performance…… and the track record of that bunch has brought themselves to where they currently find themselves……. which begs the question, “Can they and are they willing to govern themselves???”

If the Feds do get involved, the Big 10 & SEC may not like the outcome much.

Every passing moment, the SEC and B1G are pressing closer to a backroom deal to consolidate a two conference league, where they cut the littler guys loose.

The problem with this, is if the Federal Government does get involved, they could mandate that all FBS Federal Funded State Universities either be excluded, or included together.

As goes the Federal Government, they may not be able to tell the Private Institutions what they can or cannot do. However, with the bulk of the SEC and Big Ten being State schools, they may have no choice, as those programs do fall under the umbrella of Government grants; irregardless of what the Conference affiliation these Logos belong. The Government can Supersede any Collegiate regulatory committee. And that could bite them in the rear, seeing as there re many non-Power4 State Universities inside of DI-FBS.

The question is, ‘Who’s going to govern College Football????
