JG is gonna be here forever, it would appear.  But in all seriousness, what an opportunity for a program like ours.  A year's worth of free development.   :thumbup:

If I am not going to go to the NFL and I have graduated, I wonder if I stay...

 They kind of left open the question of how this will impact scholarship #’s in future seasons. But there’s no hurry or anything. Signing day is still like 3 months away. Take all the time you need. :rolleyes:

Pruitt said yesterday they will have to adjust the 85 number....It's the only way it will work. 

Will be interesting to see how many take advantage of this...Good way to stick away for another year and work on your masters for free. And just think....Gitmo can stay for what will seem like his 9th year. :biggrin:

Will they have bowls?  Will there be playoffs?

The playoff committee announced around 3 weeks ago they were a go on having the playoffs as usual in Jan.

I'm sure there will be some bowl games but it might be just the bigger bowls since so many conferences that fill the smaller bowls aren't playing. There was 41 bowls scheduled for season....Don't see anyway they will come close to having that many.
