Lukewarm take: we need to stop using mental health/therapy buzzwords in day to day life. Not everyone you dislike is a narcissist. Being sad doesn’t mean you’re depressed. There’s a resounding difference between being nervous and having anxiety. You’re not ADHD because you don’t like to sit still. You’re not autistic because you’re quirky. OCD doesn’t mean you’re organized. And for the love of all that is holy, not every situation that made you uncomfortable is “trauma”.
The redshirt is dead — and most programs aren’t ready for what that means.
Every scholarship now starts a 5-year clock the moment a kid enrolls or turns 19. No extensions. No medical freezes.
That changes recruiting, roster building, and player development in one stroke.
Birthday math is now part of every offer conversation. A kid who turns 19 before he steps on campus has already burned time. Coaches who ignore that will regret it.
The portal gets leaner but more expensive. Fewer players with extra eligibility means a smaller pool — and the ones in it will cost more.
The programs that win this era won’t be the ones with the most NIL money. They’ll be the ones who evaluate 17-year-olds better than everyone else and stop hiding developmental needs behind a redshirt year.

You occasionally get a moment that symbolizes everything wrong with this country. In this case it's a U.S. Marine veteran screaming out that no one wants to fight for Israel and a U.S. Senator breaking his arm. A perfect encapsulation of US foreign policy.
@royermattw Did he mistake his porn hub window for the superbowl? Also gay people exist in the world. They are a part of ALL cultures. Are people really this dense? The more outspoken about gays the more likelihood of having child pornography on their computer.
