Heard on last night's 'Through The Keyhole' podcast that there is some possible "friction" between Jackson Arnold and OU regarding the 'commit, no visits' rule. Supposedly A&M is "kicking the tires" on Arnold to see what's going on? Asking about a visit, perhaps?
Payton goes on to say he doesn't know if anything is going on right now, but references Lebby interacting with Jaden Rashada on Twitter (a few likes from Lebby).
Man, I like Kegan but this Payton guy must be some casual playing insider on his Kegan's podcast. This particular exchange was funny sh*t:
Payton: "I believe Jaden visited Oklahoma, please correct me if I'm wrong?"
Kegan: "I don't believe he has visited, no"
Payton: "K, yeah, I don't think so either"
Payton: "There is talks that Peter Thrune, is how you say it, Tune?
Kegan: "Parker Thune?"
Payton: "Parker, Parker, yeah"
He's on an OU podcast that frequently covers recruiting and he doesn't know who Parker Thune is? That alone is about enough for me to disregard his "inside info". Kegan said there could be "something there" after checking around, but another source said they had heard nothing.

Since some of you are lil bitches and can't take a joke (or even understand one apparently)...
I present to you the new gifs that I will use anytime I think you post something that makes you look like a fvcking idiot... because you really should just hit yourself in the nuts instead of pressing "post thread"... again... any of these will suffice. You have been warned. I am not a moderator... but I will moderate stupidity and let you know if I think you're bringing down the board's IQ level. My opinion is worth probably less than .02... but I will share it nonetheless.
Also... if this post offends you, bothers you, gets you angry, or gets sand in your vagina, you are likely deserved of one (or more) of these gifs at some point:
Now fvck off.

Saban: Current state of CFB not 'sustainable."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Nick Saban’s willingness to adapt and often be a catalyst for change in college football, both on the field and off, has propelled Alabama to six national championships in 13 seasons.
The 70-year-old coach is confident his program will continue to thrive during this new era of college athletics, with players having more opportunities to earn money than ever before and more power to determine where they play.
But the current state of college football has Saban concerned.
“I don’t think what we’re doing right now is a sustainable model,” Saban told The Associated Press in a recent interview.
That’s a common theme among coaches these days, with Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and Southern California’s Lincoln Riley among the most prominent who have echoed Saban’s sentiments. The combination of empowered athletes and easily accessible paydays is changing the way coaches go about their business.
That has led to concerns about vast sums of money flowing in and around college athletics, including brazen entities called collectives put together by well-heeled donors whose donations have traditionally funded everything from lavish facilities to multimillion-dollar buyouts of fired coaches around Power Five conferences.
“The concept of name, image and likeness was for players to be able to use their name, image and likeness to create opportunities for themselves. That’s what it was,” Saban said. “So last year on our team, our guys probably made as much or more than anybody in the country.”
Paying a player to attend a particular school is still a violation of NCAA rules, but NIL deals have quickly become intertwined with recruiting — both high school prospects and the growing number of college transfers.

Dabo Swinney: There needs to be a complete blowup of College Football.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney said this week he thinks a lack of uniformity will lead to a complete restructuring in college athletics at some point. In particular, he sees the larger, more prominent Power 5 schools forming their own division in football.
"I think there's going to be a complete blowup ... especially in football, and there needs to be," Swinney told ESPN. "I think eventually there will be some type of break and another division. Right now, you got everybody in one group, and it's not feasible. Alabama has different problems than Middle Tennessee, but we're trying to make them all the same and it's just not. I think you'll have 40 or 50 teams and a commissioner and here are the rules."
Swinney said the current system is a "mess" and that it's hard to get anything accomplished as college athletics continue to evolve and change in the new world of the transfer portal and name, image and likeness.
"There's so much bureaucracy and you can't get anything done in a real-time manner. It's frustrating," Swinney said. "The communication is not good and the rules are outdated. Again, there have been a lot of positives when it comes to the scholarships. But you've got all these people voting on things, and it's just not apples to apples."
