- Another lawsuit, another NCAA attempt to keep embarrassing disclosures out of the public eye.
- Jon Wilner goes deep into the weeds to compare the Pac-12’s finances with other power conference peers.

- Here’s a Pythagorean projection on likely underachievers and overachievers in this year’s SEC East.
- “It’s crazy, but that’s how elite the Georgia Bulldogs are at the outside ‘backer spots.”
- On the recruiting trail the Alabama coaching staff says it has not been asked many questions about COA stipends.
- Chad Peltier tweaks his statistical analysis to test Manny Diaz’s argument about the importance of run defense for turnover creation and finds further support for it.
- Bowling Green, sounds like you may have a problem here.

Dear Daddy,
It appears the Bowling Green deal has larger implications. Can you give us dummies a short treatise on these implications?

More and More the NCAA resembles Auburn. A motion to suppress based on blatant Self Service.
UGA has some great OLBs for sure, but can they set the edge?
Bowling Green failing to follow their own concussion policies and procedures. Arrgh, little concern about the hallowed “Student Athlete” there.

Key word in Saban’s quote about COA is “many”. That means there are some questions being asked by recruits. Does anyone realize that the monies diff between UGA and at least 3 other SEC schools is enough for a down payment on a used car?
Considering that the construction of the IPA and the COA diff could just be begrudging parsing to areas that BM and Mac have resisted for years and don’t want to compete with except with platitudes, we had better hang on to our butts for the remainder of this recruiting year. Now, when we get questions from the player or his family as to why we have such a large diff in COA, I certainly hope we counter with “We will match the highest amount permitted by the bean counters as true COA at other schools.”.

Or that the coaches are talking out of their collective asses because it suits Saban’s agenda.
Maybe you didn’t notice that ‘Bama flipped an Auburn commit last week. I guess he’s already got a car.

And don’t be knocking any great ‘Muricans like Saban.
