College Football National Championship Semifinals

[JL Sargent]

For the record, division I colleges are limited to 85 full tuition scholarships per year.

JL as a side note, I have a program from the Cotton Bowl with Tamu vs Alabama when Bryant was the Tamu coach.  Is it worth anything?

[JL Sargent]

To answer your question I suspect there are some post graduate players on most of these division I teams.

[JL Sargent]

I think that would be a cool program to have! I have no idea about value though.

You do realize TCU has a total enrollment under 10,000?  Just sayin....

 

Interesting also is the fact that the greatest percentage of students at TCU are women...

 

Now that is a great recruiting incentive.... lol...

[oldtimer]

Yes and they are overwhelmingly beautiful.

[JL Sargent]

Texas has an enrollment of 52K and we saw what that did for them. Point is enrollment really doesn't matter, it's what you do with the 85 athletes signed on.

[oldtimer]

Point is way off.  Big schools usually draw the best recruits.  I'm not dissing Alabama.  Oh yeah I'll diss Texas all day long, but you cant seriously argue that big schools with big money and big alumni markets don't make a difference.

[oldtimer]

Otherwise why did Ohio State make the final four?

Point well taken.... Look at Rice with an enrollment of less than 4,000 students.  They had a very good football season and consistently have one of the best baseball programs in the country.

[oldtimer]

Not fair.  Baseball players are smarter than football players.  And most baseball players are as dumb as a box of rocks.

[oldtimer]

Seriously though just try to get into Rice.  It's like getting into Stanford.

[oldtimer]

Speechless as usual. Just how high did you score on your verbal standardized tests?

[oldtimer]

C'mon Boxx, represent!

[Boxx]

Speechless as usual. Just how high did you score on your verbal standardized tests?

 

I don't even remember what I scored.

 

I suppose it didn't make any difference

 

Three degrees later, I did ok....

[oldtimer]

Yes.  It's called the Peter Principle.

[JL Sargent]

Is it too early to say Boise has control of this one?

[Boxx]

Is it too early to say Boise has control of this one?

 

No, No it isn't....

[JL Sargent]

No, No it isn't....
