The no notice defense becomes even more absurd

I hope they all get plastered. I see that they all play 2 of Michigan, Penn State or Ohio State except UCLA. They do play Washington, Oregon and USC, so they will take their lumps against their fellow traitors.

When I look at the future schedule of those schools, I can't help but think their future games are going to be very lame.

So, doing the travel math conservatively, that probably means around 30 hours in the air, plus ground transportation and associated delays, probably 50ish hours in travel.

For a school like UW, 40 of that is probably during the 8 weeks of the season that overlap the academic calendar.

So, players now have several hours of practice through the week, plus weights, conditioning, film study, and any physical therapy they need post-game. They lose saturdays to games, Thursday evening and fridays in travel, and Sundays in recovery. Then they’re supposed to go to class and find whatever time is necessary to study (general guidance is minimum 1 hour outside for each hour in class…so for a minimum 12 credit load, you burn a full day on academics. They should also sleep a little over 2 days in a full week.

So, 2 days sleeping, 1 for a game, 1 for travel, 1 for recovery. Gotta think 5-6 hours of combined football activities M-Th, which is another day. And, 1 day for academics makes the full week. That leaves no time for eating, entertainment, or taking a leak…which I assume they all do.

At what point do we stop pretending that these are student athletes, and just admit that there’s no time for the “student” part?

You mean flying to College Station and New Brunswick and landing Gawd knows where (I tried to place the nearby airports relative to campus and couldn't find them) is inconvenient as opposed to hopping a 50 minute flight to Pullman and riding 10 minutes to campus in 2024?

Oh by the way 99.9% of them won’t go pro at their respective sport. So they’d better be getting all they can out of the student part.

It’s insanity. They don’t give a shit about the kids but we already knew that.

It’s gonna be real fun in the winter navigating storms in the Midwest and Northeast along with multiple legs on commercial flights.

With all that money they will probably fly charters for all sports. Football has always been charters of course.

You mean Lear jets. Leer jets are Sponge coming home to visit.

And the pundit pageantry continues...

The talk about all these great match ups as if every team is going to be undefeated year in and year out and there will never be any bad teams or down years.

At this point they should just play every game within their own conference(s), call them all exhibitions, then let the networks pick their favorites for the end of the year "championship" season.

This ain’t the 1950’s.

Players have laptops with earbuds. Recorded lectures, live chat support with T/F, Multiple Choice tests to show content understanding are a real thing.
