Why would a rising coach go to Louisville when they're about to get hit hard? Post season ban, loss of scholarships, etc. No way.

I could have seen it as similar to when Bill O'Brien went to Penn State. Prohm has family connections (I believe his wife's family is close to that area), he has shown he can win with less talent, and L'ville could pay him a lot with the understanding that they get "best effort" results.

This is where I'm at. Although I think there will be at least a dozen open coaching pos's at P5 schools in about 30 days.

This could have some serious ripple effects. The season starts in 2 days? And games start in a month? There could be a lot of coaches being poached and needing replaced at smaller schools. I just don't see a way that you can promote an assistant who was also likely complicit.

I think you will have an assistant, who they deem clean or a last year Baylor thing where they bring in a guy for a year and hire a new one at the end to get recruits.

This, you get it. That's the impact, who is going to coach L'ville (assume AZ, USC, Miami will follow the same path shortly)? You might be relying on a student manager to coach a team he grabbed from last nights intramural game.

It was pretty clear Bill O'Brien was using Penn State as a stepping stone. He made it known he was going to the NFL. You don't take your dream job when you're going to have both hands tied behind your back.

It's 2017. The race card is important for the media's page views.

Myron using the race card:

The kicker on this Louisville thing is this Bowen kid isn't exactly an elite recruit. Looks like he is usually top 15-20. Not too shabby, but if they are shelling out $100,000 for this kid, imagine what goes on for a top 5 kid.

Right? It seems pretty late in the off-season for 6 P5 schools to be building coaching staffs from scratch. This could get weird.

And normally in a situation like this, players are allowed to transfer without penalty... but school is already in session and the season will have already started.

I don't get this, start a new league stuff? What start a new league that allows shoe companies to pay players?

Well...yes.

Look where CFB is headed. America is desperate for it to become NFL lite and cutting out the middle man could net the Power 64 more of the almighty dollar.

Every idiot that clamored to abandon the traditional bowl system in favor of what we have now has, in part sent CFB down the road of being the explicit NFL farm system instead of the implicit farm system.
