.@KirkHerbstreit, good morning, I know there is a lot going on during the NFL Draft broadcast with numerous moving parts, people talking, crowd noise, producers perhaps talking into your IFB/ear piece...but any specific reason you mentioned Big Ten with 10 1st-Round Picks, SEC (7), ACC (6), but didn't mention the @Big12Conference and them also have (6) 1st-Round Picks?

The SAVE Act is the single most important issue to 95% of Republican voters. If you can’t pass it with a majority in the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court and a Republican President, then somebody owns your ass, buddy.

Who owns John Thune?

How each top 25 college basketball team looked this week 👀

[Andrew Caraway @Caraway6]

People keep asking why college offers are slow right now. Here’s the reality, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

As of today (the final day to enter the Transfer Portal):

• 10,853 football players have entered the portal
• 6,715 are still actively looking for a home
• 3,229 have signed
• 576 have withdrawn
• 333 have matriculated

Breakdown by level:
• FBS: 3,910 entered (1,633 still active)
• FCS: 2,735 entered (1,789 still active)
• DII: 2,779 entered (1,993 still active)
• DIII: 1,340 entered (1,251 still active)

That’s thousands of players still unplaced across every level of college football.

Now add what no one wants to talk about:

• Lawyers are suing the NCAA for extended eligibility for current players
• Those lawsuits are freezing roster spots that would normally open
• Division II has voted to allow 5 years of competition instead of 4, meaning fewer scholarships and roster spots available moving forward

What does this mean in real terms?

• Older players are staying longer
• Coaches are holding scholarships
• Roster math is completely unsettled
• Decisions are being delayed because eligibility rules are changing in real time

It’s an overloaded system where timing, legal uncertainty, and roster limits are colliding all at once.

If recruiting feels quiet, stalled, or frustrating, this is why. Stay patient and keep your grades up!

Paying kids $5 million dollars when the whole point of nil was to get paid from jersey sales, video games, and their own ads.
