The Big 12 & ACC should jump on the chance to get to AQs imo

They need some kind of coefficient to determine the at large bids, kinda like what european soccer has. This would help adjust for strength if conference.

Even when you consider that he's from Iowa, this is still kinda unreal.

LMAO

Within a few days, Proctor identified Iowa as his most desired destination. Through a social media campaign, the Iowa Swarm Collective quickly raised more than $100,000 in two days — independent of Proctor’s intentions. Proctor attended a men’s basketball game in Iowa City later that week and was enrolled in classes quickly afterward.

In the big picture, this situation could jumpstart discussions at the national level about collective bargaining and contractual obligations. Proctor received payment through The Swarm Collective and promoted one car dealership on social media but had yet to practice with the team.

Dont totally disagree, but cover ups seem to happen more in colleges where the universities run the campus police and others involved. The amount of influence that players, coaches, etc have over their victims, who are either kids or young adults, is next level.

Not to get too deep into this - because obviously a sexual assault or whatever being covered up because a guy is a star WR is very bad - but what do you think would be happening if there weren't college sports? Many of these guys would not be in college, not have daily structure and a goal, in current day not being paid a good salary...I'm going to guess no college sports would make things much worse in society.

This demographic of men would likely be getting in a lot more trouble without this...maybe a little bit less likely it gets covered up being the only advantage? Odds are there would be many more completely unknown crimes committed if some of these guys weren't in college.
