Indeed he did, but that was before NIL and the portal. Backthen, coaches had almost complete control and the p[layers had very few chances to oppose the coach's decisions. In today's atmosphere, plays would be sitting out the rest of the year and transferring at the first opportunity.

Yeah, it was almost like the men who were older, more experienced, and most qualified to know what was best for the team and the players had final say. :rolleyes:

Equality for the players, nightmares for the Universities, coaches, and fans. In this case, the Supreme Court had the last say. I can not argue that it was the wrong decision but it did change the face of College athletics.

It should've never been taken to the Supreme Court in the first place. The NCAA was mistaken in thinking the courts would side with them. They could've fixed this internally years before, and it would've avoided a lot of this mess.

I posted on here the other day that we should try that and people pooped on the idea.
Then I said we should comb the dorms and frat houses for a walk on who weighs 400 pounds and could just be a space eater. Also no takers on that idea. Hell, if none of our current tackles on the roster are worth a shee-ite, why not try everything in practice. Move a guard, move a backup center, something.

They did whatever would help them win. Don’t act like they gave one single eff about what was best for the players.

If they couldn't play at the position they were currently at, then they couldn't play. They weren't going to take a potential NFL first rounder at D-tackle and move him to the o-line. They moved guys who couldnt help them at their current position. The only example I can think of where they did the player a disservice was when they moved Leonard Little from end to linebacker. But they didn't try to move him to the other side of the ball.

One or 2 and neither lasted in NFL. I can only think of Charles McRae who was a high, first round bust. Who were the others?

Whatever he did in the NFL, he absolutely pancaked in a game that led to a really long TD run by (most likely) either Cobb or Webb. Wish I could recall which game, but it was 1989 and I was in the South end zone more or less in the student section and had a good view, and he just detroyed the DL and the RB ran about 70 or so yards untouched to the end zone. It was a thing of beauty.

Also for the record (cause I just looked it up!) he spent 5 years with Tampa Bay and a year with the Raiders. I'd hardly call that a bust.

Auburn in 1989. He was like a top 10-15 pick. He might have gotten hurt some because his PT was spotty. Antone Davis went after him in the first round and had a much longer career. Almost every big time OL here was recruited as an OL. The list is pretty long
