Anybody paying attention to the laws of California?
Hmmmm.

Do as I say...not as I do...

You raise a good point...  UCLA is a public school.  Will the coaches, as State employees, be prohibited from going to these games?  Or will they have to pay their own way?  Will the team be allowed to fly on a chartered jet paid for by the state? 

California has elected officials that think like adolescents -- their executive functioning skills can't seem to think ahead to all the unintended consequences of their "well intentioned" plans.

One more reason to hate on Larry Scott
Welcome to the BiG old friend!

You are going to love Madison in late November!

If the powers that be have "any" sense at all, they will schedule USC (and UCLA) to have 2-3 road games each in Sept and Oct and have all the midwest (and Eastern) teams coming to So Cal in Nov.  That would make everybody happy (well happier)

There is a Duke's Mayo Bowl?

This year there should have been a Yoshinoya (or Panda Express) Chicken Bowl.   But I guess most teams would have opted out.

Likely they won't take the title...

I don't think the committee did them any favor.  If they thought Clemson was a shellacking...

Buckeyes took care of business.

It's looking like Clemson is giving no quarter to Notre Dame.  Assuming they continue blowing Notre Dame out, is there any chance Notre Dame falls out of the top 4?

If they stay in, do they move them down to #4 in order to avoid another rematch of this game on Jan 1

Hey, Ward, learn how to format the page!

he is making it fun for us.  Sometimes we go back and "fix" it for him.

I disagree.   If he had thought before he spoke he could have fashioned a much better opinion on it instead of making a childish threat that no one would take seriously.  I have no problem with him calling out California.  I hope they do move it.

For those of you out of state that are not aware, Warden Newsom is about to face a recall battle.  Moving it would just be another stain on his inglorious tenure.

But none of that excuses Kelly.  I actually thought it was one of Kelly's least offensive outbursts, but he still comes across as childish and petty.  He is just completely incapable of acting like a mature adult.

The difference between Brian Kelly and Dabo Sweeney is that Dabo can occasionally say something that makes him seem like a jerk and Kelly can occasionally say something that makes him seem like a reasonably nice guy.

Brian Kelly says Norte Dame could boycott CFP semifinals if team families are not allowed to attend

He should think before he speaks.   It makes him look less intelligent to make a completely idle threat.  he probably could have made his point in a way that didn't make him look like a jerk.  Oh wait...that's right he is one.

Won't their losing by 100 points tomorrow make that demand moot?

too funny...but my guess is they will get in anyway

Congress introduces bill to control college athletics

https://www.si.com/college/2020/12/17/athlete-bill-of-rights-congress-ncaa-football

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2020/12/17/ncaa-overhaul-come-democrats-college-athletes-bill-rights/3935483001/

This is dangerous stuff. A presidential commission that would control the rules of all college athletics? Is the next step to nationalize and control all college academics and curriculum?
