OOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSS !!

 
Former Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook is visiting FSU. Makes sense. They need a QB. That said, Hornibrook is not a game-changing talent.

Probably the royalty collection was signed over to one of the big services in the US - ASCAP,BMI, SESAC. If they have rights, they will pursue anyone perceived to be in violation. Old dudes need those royalty checks.
 
Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook transferring to FSU. With Francois kicked off the team, seems like he'll be the likely starter.
 
Ahhhhhh, FFS !

 
Tate Martell (OSU transfer QB) granted immediate eligibility at Miami, and likely the favorite for the starting job.

Pretty interesting, as the only "hardship" he claimed was basically Urban Meyer retiring. In reality, the system completely changed, he wasn't near as good a fit for Day's offense, and Fields transferred to OSU. The transfer portal and subsequent hardship waiver approvals are basically NCAA free agency at this point. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet.
 
For the student-athlete it's 100% the right thing. It's up to the coach whether he takes in a transfer.
 
Georgia Spring Game on right now. DeAndre Swift is going to have a BIG year.
 
A few 2019 NCAA rules changes already: http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/26587371/ncaa-strengthens-targeting-rules-limits-ots

The NCAA football rules committee has approved several rule change proposals for the 2019 season, including some that would strengthen targeting rules and another meant to limit the potential for too many overtimes.

The change to targeting makes it a so-called "progressive penalty," meaning that players who commit three targeting fouls in the same season could face a one-game suspension. Under the current rules, players who commit targeting are ejected from that game and are required to miss the first half of the next game if the penalty occurred in the second half (there is no further suspension when the penalty occurs in the first half).

Additionally, referees will also be required to review replays of all targeting calls to confirm all elements of targeting were present. If the targeting penalty can't be confirmed by video review, the call on the field will not stand.

"We believe the targeting rule has made the game better," Ray Anderson, the athletic director at Arizona State, said in a podcast that accompanied the NCAA's news release. "It's had a change in behavior. But not enough ... and that's what we're continuing to try to push."

The committee also approved a change to overtime, deciding that if a game reaches a fifth overtime, teams will no longer trade off starts at the opponent's 25-yard line. Instead, teams will run alternating two-point conversions until a winner is determined.

Also, a two-minute rest period will be added after the second and fourth overtimes.

These changes come in the wake of last year's Texas A&M-LSU game, which lasted seven overtimes and called into question player safety. There have been just five FBS games over the past five seasons that have reached five overtimes.

"That was a four-hour-plus game," Anderson said, referring to the Nov. 24 game, which Texas A&M won 74-72. "The health and safety of players is paramount. So the concern is, you are [already] spent in the normal course of a four-quarter game."

The committee also approved changes that would mean the elimination of the two-man wedge blocking formation during kickoff returns and forcible contact on blindside blocks. A blindside block with forcible contact would result in a 15-yard personal foul.
 
They should have made different versions of targeting. If the player recklessly leads with his helmet or jacks a dude in the head, then eject him. If he's trying to avoid the contact and the receiver/ball carrier ducks into him (or something similar), then call the 15 yard penalty, but let the kid play.

That adds a few minutes to every replay.
