A school signs a guy for $50k a year out of HS as a linebacker but after a couple of years, it is obvious he can't handle the position. However, he is a "terror" on Special Teams. A Coach tells him that he can either take his chances by going into the Portal or stay there but only be paid $25K since his versatility is limited.

A Five Star HS QB is paid $500K to sign with your school. He just doesn't work out and is relegated to back-up status. He enters the Portal and doesn't attract much attention. He goes bank to your school and asks for reinstatement. Your Coach takes him back because he knows the Offense ,
is a good practice player, liked by his teammates, and a decent backup. In this case, he will receive considerably less.

I have to believe that not every player seeking more money whether by staying or entering the portal is successful in getting more money. We know there are some players that are not picked up at all.

I think the "free market" is more at work than we think. Some guys entering the Portal are taking "pay cuts".when they land somewhere.

I also believe many players entering the Portal were told they would have no place on next year's team. In other words, they were cut.

Would the committee have not still put bama in over them? I think it’s interesting to think about because I don’t think leaving the sec out would’ve ever been an option, so what would’ve happened?

Chase Parham sits down with Mike Bianco for a different kind of conversation with the Ole Miss baseball coach. Chase turned 40 years old over the weekend, so it's a good time to visit with the coach he's covered the longest. Chase and Mike discuss family, Bianco's off-field interests and his memories and thoughts regarding certain parts of his career. This one isn't about the current baseball team. It's about the person behind the coach who has led the Rebels since the 2001 season.

Anyone know what section is behind the visitors bench at central Florida?

👍 🦈☄️🐓⛵🎣🎆🌋🍆🍆🕳️🕳️🏉🐅🌭🐶

Going to be out of pocket some tonight. Will get basketball coverage to you from tonight's game, but if recruiting stuff goes wild this evening, I'm going to be behind. If it happens, I'll catch up late.

Full transparency: I'm going to Desoto Central to watch my son's soccer game. I missed his game Saturday to cover Memphis, but tonight's foe should be a cupcake. I'll have OM game on my phone and will get postgame off combo of radio and OM's FTP. Frankly, the only potential news value today would be an update on Murray. Mount St. Mary's is 2-5.

I'll catch up on recruiting late, though, if there's anything. I've heard there's a visitor coming in tonight, but I don't know who it is.

Could we just Venmo players from the stadium.... or from the couch in real time?

Some smoke here. Big time DE from Florida.

Definitely a missing piece we need if we are going to make a run next year.

Any guesses on the chances that club level ticket order (2 tix) through OMSports gets filled?

He said he had been gone 4 months this summer to travel to Palestine. I said man I’m glad you are here now instead of there. He said I’m not. I want to be over there fighting! I was dumbfounded. I said dude you’re you are too young to hate people. Love is way better. He just stared at me. Weird as crap. Our country is in trouble boys. Big trouble.

The selection process is beyond stupid. The media gets 870 votes, made up of 145 voters from each of six regions of the country. Previous Heisman winners get a vote There are 57 of those. And the fans get 1 vote.

So the media picks the winner. And why should the media get to pick a winner? Because, of course, they know the most. This is from the Heisman website- “The task of designating the most outstanding college football player is a daunting one, so a crucial decision was made early on to determine the best group of individuals to make that choice. It was decided that sports journalists were the most logical group for this task. As informed, competent and impartial observers, they comprise the vast majority of the electors.”

Out of those 870 media voters, I guarantee you that 600 of them can’t draw up a play. Far from informed and competent. Dan Wolken and the like are always impartial. Not.

The award is supposed to go to the most outstanding college football player in the country. But the way that these morons have voted in the past, they think that the country's most outstanding football player must be a member of one of its best teams. And is it even possible that such a large group of informed and competent and impartial people can really believe that the best player in the country every year is either a quarterback or a running back? A few examples-

Charles White- There were 9 guys on the USC team that were better than White, much less the rest of the country. Those 9 guys combined for 46 pro bowls. White had zero. Anthony Munoz and Ronnie Lott were some of the best at their position in the history of the sport. Neither one got a single vote. USC QB Paul McDonald got 92 votes that year. You mean to tell me that not one single supposed football expert in the entire country noticed that Munoz might have been better than McDonald?

Andre Ware- The product of a gimmicky defense, but he wins the trophy. Even Dee Dowis (remember him?) got 145 votes. Cortez Kennedy was unbelievably dominant. He couldn’t be blocked. But he got zero votes.

Charles Woodson- The one year where the QB was the most outstanding player, the media gives it to a DB.

Danny Wuerffel- Of course he was better than Tony Gonzalez and Orlando Pace and Walter Jones

Jason White- maybe the worst the voters have ever done. He wasn’t even close to being the best player on his team. Tommie Harris by a mile. And how about Larry Fitzgerald? Even Eli? And then you have people like Sean Taylor and Vince Wilfork and Jonathan Vilma that combined for ZERO votes.

And how about this Reggie Bush nonsense. Reggie would like to have his trophy back. But the suits in New York said that he first had to go to all the former Heisman Trophy winners and to get them to sign off on it. Can you imagine Bush calling the likes of Johnny Football or Cam Newton or OJ Simpson and asking those idiots to sign their name so that Bush could get his trophy back?

Just so stupid. All of it.
