Comment on USC Might Not Survive Sanctions and Expansions by Dave Gold

How is Vidal Hazelton a flame out at USC? USC lost a great player for reasons unknown. We could have used him. He was by far the best receiver they had. A very physical player. From the ESPN reports Hazelton has been on FIRE at Cincinnati. He will be the go to receiver at Cincinnati. According to reports he has given the Bearcats a BIG Surge. In my eyes Vidal will always be a Trojan. Go Trojans. We will survive the sanctions. Up yours NCAA.

Cincinnati won’t leave the Big Ten because they get more money off of it but instead they could add TCU, SMU, BYU, and maybe Houston.

With all the conference shuffling going on, why not just go ahead and put all of college football’s power programs (including Texas) in one national football power conference?

Either Texas leads an exodus of five teams to the Pac-10 that follow Colorado or it remains true to the Big 12 and the league becomes more reminiscent of the old Southwest Conference.

Comment on Power Ball: Why College Football Needs To Have Four Power Conferences by Brian

You’re absolutely right about college football being a business first, and that’s unfortunate for the true fans of the game.

This is the first time I’ve seen the proposed league structure, and it would absolutely produce some entertaining post-season matchups. One of the first problems I see however, is that this structure would actually hurt several programs.

Georgia Tech is a prime example. In the ACC, they have had a chance to compete for championships year after year and get some national attention, thus helping recruiting. But in the proposed “South Region”, they would have to compete with some real powerhouse teams, both during the season and in recruiting, and they would be at a severe disadvantage in both. This would be a terrible situation for them.

Of course there are others, but GT is the first one that came to mind.

Comment on Big East Preview: Top 20 NFL Draft Prospects by Mark jacobs

I agree Dave. Hazelton is a hell of player. Here is some history on him.
The Past:

Hazelton, a native of New York, committed to USC out of high as the number one ranked wideout by scout.com. After playing sparingly in his first year, only catching one pass, he broke out in 2007 catching 50 passes for 540 yards and four scores, leading the USC offense. It appeared Hazelton would be the next great USC pass catcher. High expectations laid on the shoulders of the 6’2’’ 210 pound wide receiver heading into 2008, but injuries and an apparent rift with coaches sent Hazelton down the depth chart. He only caught six passes for 38 yards. In December ’08, Hazelton was cleared to transfer, choosing Cincinnati to be closer to home.

2010:

Hazelton was forced to sit out last season after not gaining acceptance from the NCAA to play following transfer sit-out rules. This spring the senior wideout brought in four catches for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Bearcats spring game. Depth at wide receiver runs deep, even with the loss of All-American Mardy Gilyard. Second leading receiver Armon Binns and junior D.J. Woods returning return. Hazelton should be able to make a splash in the pass happy offense of first year coach Butch Jones though. A gifted athlete and physical receiver, Vidal Hazelton could once again be a household name halfway through the 2010 season.

ric Galko scouting reports are totally flawed. He needs to do his homework. If he got a chance to take in a Cincinnati Bearcats practice or even read the reports from ESPN, Scout.com, and Rivals.com. I think Vidal Hazelton is the best Wide Receiver in the Big East and possibly the best in the nation. I haven’t seen a better WR yet and for you to use the words “Less Talented” shows how out of tune with the Big East Conference he is. Isaiah Pead as well as DJ Woods should be high on this list as well.

Well if you want to look at recent history then I would say that Tuscaloosa, Alabama is the Mecca. If you look at the history of college football, it still shows Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Florida is not even close. 3 national championships versus 13 national championships is not much of a comparison.

Tobi – thanks for the post.

If the SEC offers and A&M does bolt, you don’t think theirs any possiblity the remaining 5 will still go over to the PAC-10, maybe grabbing Utah as a replacement?
