@Coach_Moore_BU If you think I was advocating for a 53 man roster in college ball you didn’t understand my point. 105 in college. 53 +16 practice squad in the NFL. Injuries happen at both levels.
What’s the solution? IMO it’s simple, follow the NFL/MLB/NHL/MLS/NBA model. Kids sign contracts. 1-2-3-4 year deals. Make them non guaranteed like the NFL. No play No pay. And the injury-roster size- practice conversation doesn’t hold up to me. The NFL has 53 active and 16 on the practice squad. They make it work. Before you fire back with “they’re not professionals” may wanna check the facts. Kids get paid to play now. That’s as pro as it gets.
Kirby Smart:
"Everybody's practicing less, but everybody's getting injured more."
"I think about the teams we had in '21 & '22, how physical they were and how they practiced. We can't even get close to that now."
"A lot of these guys make more than I made til I was 40."
This photo pretty much summarizes today’s result for @CCSLionsFB, which thumped Chattanooga Grace 56-7 today to finish its second full TSSAA season (DII-A) at 7-3. Will host a playoff game for the first time ever next week, playing down the street at Farragut with a 7 p.m. kick.

In need of two tickets to a Titans home game. Dates are: Nov15-Dec6-Dec20-Jan3. A parking pass would be great. If you have any connections with tickets please DM me. More than willing to pay for them.
