I think the priority to bring in a C is a direct result of Iltis not being available this season. We need the depth for sure.

Here is a fresh take on the "should student athletes be paid" argument:
http://www.statecollege.com/news/columns/jay-pate...

It is a Penn State article by Jay Paterno (JoePa's son and assistant) and the gist of it is that football players make between $56 and $83 an hour at Penn State when you factor in the cost of tuition and added covered expenses like books and room and board and the total number of hours they are allowed to devote in the year to football (NCAA limits it quite a bit actually). So they make out pretty well as it is for their roles as "entertainers". Throw in the typically high quality healthcare that they get and it is even higher.

Haven't seen that argument laid out before and I have to say that it has solidified my thoughts on the subject. Athletes do get paid to play. Quite well actually.

My thoughts on this are that, for the moment anyway, I don't see Ohio State pulling out at this point. It would be bad PR and tell the team that they don't believe in them enough to play CU even in front of the home crowd. Not exactly a good way to woo potential new coaches by losing the team in the 4th game of the season.

Also, OSU doesn't owe Tressel any buyout. He gave them plenty of reason for cause. They save more than the game would cost them in the difference between what his salary would have been and what the fill in guy will make.

I hear Vanderbilt is a good school. It's like KSU selling themselves as a Big 12 school and you know there are good schools in the Big 12. Technically correct.... not saying KSA is a good school....

It's still a long way until February. Nick Kasa was firmly a Florida Gator well into the fall before switching to CU.

Unfortunately won't happen. The PAC10/12 has a clause in their bylaws that players can't transfer from one conference team to another. CU wasn't in the PAC10 last year so we were ok accepting Travon Patterson. Next season CU will be in the PAC12 so no transfers from other PAC12 teams.

I don't think any other conference has this policy but I actually think it makes sense.

Except that the PAC charter says that players can't leave one conference team for another. CU wasn't in the conference last year so we could accept USC players then.

Otherwise that would have been a good plan. I don't know of any other conference with that transfer rule. But it does kind of make sense.

Maybe we should rehire Hawk to be the academic advisor. He can "do things the right way" and not have to worry about winning on Saturdays.

Why is there still no mention of the late addition at WR for the 2011 class? Rivals broke the news 2 days ago.
