My understanding of the House settlement is that any buyouts of RevShare contracts are supposed to count towards the yearly cap. So if we gave Mensah the Ty Simpson offer ($6.5m) + $4m to Duke it's supposed to count for ~$10m against the 2026 cap (which I believe is $21.3m), which is a lot for a single player.

IMO, the cap is a fantasy right now, since there isn't a valid participation agreement signed by all the P4 schools. The CSC keeps releasing memos about "enforcement" but I don't see how they plan to police cap violations when there isn't a valid agreement empowering them to do so.

Schools are likely violating the cap either directly or indirectly by promising 3rd party NIL deals before they are cleared by NIL GO. We should too until the participation agreement is signed by everyone. I doubt this system lasts past the first time the CSC decides to penalize a school for violations and the school laughs at them.

Yeah, they can **** off with a cap because then it just goes back to the way it used to be with bags under the table for SEC schools

Which running back? I see a Duke safety going to FSU but Duke’s RB is returning to Duke. Duke got hit pretty hard at safety. They return one starter but Jones (S who to FSU) was a big contributor as a true freshman and just got straight up poached.

He’s following John Garrett. Garrett was director of offensive scouting for FSU in 2022 & 2023; left to become Duke’s GM for the past two years, and now is back at FSU as the Deputy Athletics Director/General Manager of Player Personnel which is a larger role he will keep if they have to fire Prison Mike next year.

Duke had an all-acc safety, Moore, who sat out 2025 with an injury; and he left to go to OSU. So they are stressing 😂

I thought I read a Duke RB was on the Portal and signed with FSU, but I could be wrong and right now too lazy to look.

The rules on who can communicate with whom at what point are extremely vague.

The reality is, if a players university does not submit his data to the portal, he can simply unenroll and enroll at his preferred destination. Either way, it's going to happen, there is no point in trying to force something through.

Exactly. We saw what happened when Wisconsin tried playing games with Xavier Lucas last yeaf

So if we win the title, Beck is better than Cam? Sorry, I can’t get behind that. I judge quarterbacks by how they play, not how good their teammates are.

Yea by this metric Will Howard is better than Cam. And Vinny. Nobody believes that

Besides the safety to FSU, this was the only thing i ever found.

Florida is expected to hire Duke's Chris Foster as its running backs coach, sources tell @On3sports.

I love Gino, I love his announcing skills, I listen to him on WQAM, I think he's a man's man and interesting to listen to. But here are Gino's Heisman season stats vs. Beck on this title run

That's not really a fair comparison because today's game is much more oriented towards passing and offense. In both NFL and college football, your typical QB in 2025 is going to put up way bigger numbers than your typical QB 30 or 40 years ago.

I said 5 people on that list are in the top 5 ahead of Beck and that includes Cam Ward. I didn’t think Gino was a great qb but he won the Heisman and a Natty… was on two Natty teams.

Ward, Walsh, Dorsey, Vinnie, Kosar, Erickson, Kelly… I don’t see Beck as Top 5 in UM history. He’s in the Top 8-10 though in my opinion, win or lose on Monday.
