I know a lot has changed now but I tutored athletes in college and holy fuck the huge book of NCAA rules I had to make sure I didn't break was so stupid:lol I was told as an example that if someone i was tutoring asked for a ride afterwards bc let's say hypothetically we lived at the same apartment complex, I couldn't give him one bc it could be viewed as "a benefit given due to his status as an athlete"
It's absolutely insane. My high school has put several football players into major programs, including a couple guys I was really close to. I've been to watch them play multiple times, and usually try to grab dinner the night before the game, or the evening after. I wasn't allowed to buy my friends' dinner because it would have been an NCAA violation.

Yep, was told the same thing. You're pretty much not allowed to be friends with them lmao

Fortunately, the NIL rules have lightened it up some. It always struck me as weird that I couldn't drive my friends to a restaurant the day before a game. The NCAA treated those kids like they weren't human.

This is a good laugh. Seriously, it's just a game. I'm glad they arrested her, though they should have kept her in jail longer.

Utah student allegedly said she would blow up nuclear reactor if Utes football team lost​

ESPN

A University of Utah student was arrested Wednesday after she allegedly threatened to detonate a nuclear reactor on campus if the Utes football team had lost to San Diego State over the weekend, according to radio station KSL in Utah.

According to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office, the 21-year-old student is accused of making a threat of terrorism. She was booked and released Wednesday.

The woman allegedly posted on social media that, if the Utes lost Saturday's game, she would "detonate the nuclear reactor that is located in the University of Utah causing a mass destruction," according to a police affidavit obtained by KSL. Police said in the affidavit that the woman had information about the reactor and had attended classes in the same building it is located.

Utah defeated San Diego State 35-7 on Saturday, as quarterback Cam Rising threw for 224 yards and four touchdown passes.

That's certainly...passionate.

I get not keeping her longer. I"m sure they checked into her pretty thoroughly and realized she was being a dumbass.

After being apart of College GameDay last week in Boone, I'm hype to go back up the mountain for the App State and JMU game tomorrow!

Hoping App doesn't have a letdown after the last few weeks receiving national media attention.

Probably gonna avoid most of the games this week. As a Florida fan, I have little to no hope of us beating Tennessee, and my hatred for Tennessee burns brighter than most things in my life. I fucking dread this entire thing. Give me the Vols over the Gators 37-13. Outside of that, I don't really care about anything that happens. Seems like a good day to clean out the garage.
