The Southeastern Conference isn’t short on talented quarterbacks as we head into the 2024 season. No less than seven QBs have the ability, supporting cast, and play callers to be All-Americans. Even looking past the 2024 season and to the 2025 NFL Draft, the SEC is looking at five quarterbacks with potential first-round grades. After that, there are several more starting quarterbacks who have NFL talent, whether in the immediate or in the years to come. The 2024 season should be an exciting one in the south…per usual. The SEC is Loaded at the Quarterback Position Georgia Bulldogs QB Carson…

Les Miles was less than ceremonially fired as the head coach of the LSU Tigers in 2016. Rumors began to swirl during the 2015 season that LSU would attempt to buy out Miles after the season, but the athletic department chose to retain him. When the Tigers began the 2016 season 2-2, Miles was fired. Having left the school as its second-winningest head coach, Miles was considered a near lock to eventually be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. In 2023, the NCAA announced LSU would vacate 37 victories between 2012 and 2015 due to violations involving payment…

The Florida Gators are stuck in no man’s land a bit when it comes to the status of their head coach, their strength of schedule, and their roster construction. The 2024 season is a big one for Billy Napier, as he enters it on the hot seat. A recent NIL lawsuit brought forth by former signee Jaden Rashada has some people thinking Napier might not even make it to the start of the season. Also, the schedule for the Florida Gators doesn’t do Billy Napier any favors when it comes to winning enough games to keep his job. Florida has…
In 2010, the NCAA stripped Reggie Bush of the Heisman Trophy he had won in 2005 due to him receiving impermissible benefits while a member of the USC Trojans. He has recently been reinstated as the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner. In 2011, along with revoking the Heisman Trophy from Reggie Bush, the NCAA also vacated USC’s wins in which Bush participated…including the 2004 National Championship. Now, Reggie Bush has dropped a bit of a surprising revelation about that national title. Former USC Running Back Reggie Bush Speaks on the Vacated 2004 National Championship Recently, TMZ Sports caught up with former…
G5 (Group of Five) schools now have the automatic opportunity to qualify for the CFP. Teams like Liberty, Boise State, Memphis, and San Diego State will be fighting for a spot in the national title picture.

Fresh off a national championship, the Michigan Wolverines have a plethora of questions to answer for the 2024 season. Gone is Jim Harbaugh, but Sherrone Moore looks like he is capable of stepping in fairly seamlessly. Moore did an admiral job filling in during Harbaugh’s multiple suspensions last season. While there are some questions surrounding Moore and his ability to handle the permanent position in Ann Arbor, he is one of the lesser concerns for the Wolverines. Michigan Wolverines: Rebuilding or Reloading Season? The biggest questions revolve around the offensive personnel. The quartet of JJ McCarthy, Blake Corum, Roman Wilson,…
The Alabama Crimson Tide have major questions for the first time in close to two decades. After 17 seasons at the helm in Tuscaloosa, Nick Saban decided to call it a career. With 7 national titles to his credit, Saban’s legendary career came to an end with a semifinal loss to the eventual national champion Michigan Wolverines. In comes Kalen DeBoer fresh off a national title game appearance with Washington. DeBoer brings in one of the best offensive systems in the country, emphasizing an uptempo, spread offense. Certainly a change from how Alabama has done things in the past, the…
In 2022, the Tennessee Volunteers were playoff contenders until a late-season loss at South Carolina. Hendon Hooker was a shoo-in to be a Heisman finalist until he tore his ACL in the loss. In came Joe Milton, and a very successful Orange Bowl performance had Vol fans excited for the 2023 season. Expectations were quelled pretty quickly as they experienced inconsistent quarterback play and wide receiver injuries. Milton opted out of the Citrus Bowl against Iowa, and former five-star freshman Nico Iamaleava stepped in and dominated a highly-rated Hawkeyes defense. Now, expectations are high again on Rocky Top. Iamaleava is…
The number one overall national seed has not won the national championship since Miami did it in 1999. Last season, Wake Forest went into the NCAA Tournament as the number one overall seed and got to Omaha, but ultimately lost to eventual national champion LSU. In 2022, the Tennessee Volunteers had one of the greatest seasons in college baseball history. However, they were knocked out in the Super Regionals by Notre Dame. In 2021, Arkansas was also defeated in the Super Regionals by North Carolina State. This season, Tennessee looks to break the curse of the overall number one national…
In June 2022, four star quarterback Jaden Rashada committed to play for the University of Miami as part of their 2023 recruiting class. However, as recruiting goes, schools never stopped recruiting Rashada. The University of Florida swooped in with a massive NIL deal to lure him away from the Hurricanes. Rashada decommitted from Miami and quickly committed to Florida in November 2022. After failed payments, Jaden Rashada immediately entered the transfer portal and moved on to Arizona State for his freshman season. Now, a lawsuit has been filed on Rashada’s behalf against the Florida Gator head coach, a former Florida…
Birmingham Southern College has long been a national powerhouse in the lower levels of college baseball. Having won an NAIA National Title in the early 2000s and several DIII regional titles, the Panthers also finished as the 2019 DIII runner-up. Now, they face extinction as their school is set to permanently shut down as of May 31st.

Founded in 1918 after a merger between Southern University and Birmingham College, Birmingham Southern was hoping for assistance from the…
The Atlanta Falcons may have experienced the most favorable changes this offseason. After firing head coach Arthur Smith, they hired Raheem Morris, who brought offensive coordinator Zac Robinson with him from Los Angeles. The change in offensive philosophy should be a MASSIVE benefit for the team’s extremely talented skill-position players. Along with the introduction of Morris and Robinson to the franchise, the Falcons also signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to a massive four-year, $180 million deal ($100 million guaranteed). Running back Bijan Robinson, wide receiver Drake London, and tight end Kyle Pitts could become the most exciting trio in the…
The New England Patriots have been operating without an official General Manager and Vice President of Player Personnel since Bill Belichick was let go at the end of the 2023 regular season. That seems to have changed in recent days, as the organization has named Eliot Wolf as their VP of Player Personnel. Eliot Wolf is the son of former Green Bay Packers General Manager Ron Wolf and, in essence, has been serving as the team’s GM since Belichick was not retained.

It’s not unusual for NFL executives to state their excitement over their draft picks. It’s actually a very normal claim. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes it’s lip service. Recently on the Adam Schefter Podcast, de facto New England Patriots general manager Eliot Wolf expressed excitement over a certain individual who was a bit of a polarizing draft prospect. There is obvious excitement over third-overall pick Drake Maye. While Wolf did speak on the former North Carolina Tar Heel, he had glowing things to say about the Patriots sixth-round pick, Joe Milton.

The ridiculously successful NFL Draft extravaganza reached new heights and broke records this year in Detroit. Over 700,000 people attended the event, shattering the Nashville record of 600,000 plus in 2019. Another record that was obliterated was the number of offensive players taken before a defender was selected.

Now that the 2024 NFL Draft has concluded, it’s never too early to look ahead to 2025, is it? The spectacular event…
The NCAA approved a set of rules changes on Thursday that will make college football similar to the professional game. Several rules will be added for the 2024 season, mainly a two-minute warning and the implementation of helmet communications.

The Michigan Wolverines have had an overwhelmingly tumultuous last year and a half. First came the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal. Then came Jim Harbaugh’s multiple suspensions and his departure from Ann Arbor to the NFL. In March, defensive line coach Gregg Scruggs was arrested for an OWI and subsequently resigned from his position. Now, a former Wolverine superstar and current staffer has been arrested for an OWI of his own. What are the details of this surprising arrest?
