My question to you is, should the NFL crack down harder since there seems to be an epidemic going on?

All NFL teams offer a free "cab" service to all their players as well, so there really is no excuse. I'm sure everyone on the team knows when a player uses this service, but still they should use it.

As for the arrests this past year, it doesn't look like any more or less than in previous years.

      People say the NIL ot transfer portal is killing college football, which is demonstrably false. This is the poo that has effectively killed ALL college sports. The TV contract whoring that has caused the complete destruction of regional conferences.

      Easily so. 1 "National Championship", 11 conference titles. UNC can boast 0 and 7. Maryland is less so since they have left the ACC and will likely remain depressed for the remainder of their existence before the Big Ten collapses.  I agree about the ACC and its football history but truthfully, it is becoming harder for the ACC to compete in the super conference era with the extreme amounts of money it takes to just stay competitive, much less excel.  UNC is very odd case. On the surface, plenty of money to spend to attempt to become a relevant football program but then you spend it on....Bill Belichick??? That's....stupid.

      Yeah, the recent interview in front of his locker…. if you listen, Hunter regurgitates what Canales said and does it from Canales’ perspective.  Coach said,  coach thought, Coach wanted.  Every year I explain my position that coaches are not truthful people when it comes to explaining decisions and what is going on….they aren’t in the business of letting us know what is going on behind the scenes.   Nothing ever supported what Dave was selling.  He saw something apparently no one covering the team every single day saw.  He kept his boy and had to have a reason to explain it at the end of the day….and saying Moore was better would not sell Hunter never had said he believed such is what I am saying.  That was Dave BSing his roster decisions.  What coaches do.  Hunter doesn’t play OL.  Odds are with his select slot work and his role….he is better prepared than our lineman for week 1.
