Marc Edelman from Forbes had this to say on Friday, a day before Gurley tore his ACL:

“Todd Gurley has nothing to gain, and everything to lose, by returning to college football. … If Gurley does return, he not only delays … opportunities, but risks losing them forever. Indeed, a single injury over the next several weeks could derail an NFL career, hurt his draft status, or destroy his marketability on even the endorsement market.”

Georgia was smart though. According to Darren Rovell they insured Gurley, offering $10 million in disability protection and $5 million for loss of value. Who says the universities don't do anything for athletes?

I find this picture way funnier than I really should, especially since I tend to pull for Beamer. But this pic pretty much says it all.

Gordon's rushing record lasted a week. Kid for Oklahoma went for 427 against Kansas.

Will they still count it? It's like a wind aided sprint record. Or running down hill.

I'm shocked Nebraska actually axed Pelini. Can't wait for Husker tears over who they hire.

The Big 12 is proving what kind of joke the current system still is. The motto for the conference is "one true champion," yet they will not declare a champion if 2 teams tie, to increase their chances of getting 2 teams in the playoffs. If neither of the teams make the top 4, then they will decide to name a champion.

Baylor has hired a marketing team in order to make their case for a spot in the playoffs. If the system consists of teams hiring marketing firms in order to get into the playoffs, then that system is broken.
