2025 College Football Thread

I think you're very confused about the circumstances.  The staffer is not a victim, and there was a bunch of smoke before the fire that raged yesterday.

Right.  Michigan certainly wasn't trying to find a reason to keep Moore around...

We shall see who is confused.

She was with him for a long time, got a pay raise, and an abortion.

Yesterday, he (understandably) lost his damn mind after losing his job and likely his family.  He threatened to kill her and himself. 

What am I missing.

has anyone other than random Twitter accounts actually confirmed that?

and why did he "understandably" lose his mind? Did he not know the consequences, both personal and professional, of what he was doing? There's nothing understandable about a man (or woman) who knowingly engages in such conduct.

His entire life collapsed in less than a day.  He's a fool for all of it, but people who lose everything don't typically act in a rash manner.  I'm not excusing any of the things, I'm just saying it is understandable.

Agreed. "Understandable" in the sense that no one is wondering why he snapped yesterday.

Not to mention people fail to realize how comfortable and bulletproof you can feel with secrets and getting away with them, especially for long periods of time.  Its easy to say someone should know the consequences or what they are risking, but it can be VERY easy to not see the forest for the trees (you see it all the time with hidden addictions, illegal activities, other cover indiscretions).  Then as soon as you are forced to face reality and those consequences abruptly, that comfort and plausible deniability vanishes and reality gets very cold, very harsh, and very immediate in a hurry.  That doesn't mean you feel bad for him, but its certainly understandable as to why there was something that snapped.

The evidence must have been overwhelming. Give Michigan credit because they apparently didn't try to sweep this under the rug, buy someone off or wait until a more convenient time.

The implications for the Wolverine football program are huge. However, the implications for the university would have been far greater if the matter had been "deferred" or shoved under a rug with a huge booster buyoff of the alleged victim.

The university has known for months.

Would think Sherronne's wife and kids will be entering the transfer portal.

No RGV? Sad.

This is going to get far worse before it gets better. Intrigue, infighting, plotting, spying.  Typical UMichigan man stuff.  (See: Lloyd Carr and RichRod)

Bobby Petrino on speed dial?

there were rumors but both parties denied it. Then on Wednesday, the mistress went into the GC's office with proof. My guess is her husband found out.

Good information and a mature take from ND's Jeremiyah Love ...

NEW YORK — Jeremiyah Love said Notre Dame not playing in a bowl game was a "team decision" and that the Fighting Irish put themselves in position to miss the College Football Playoff by leaving it up to the committee.

Love and the other Heisman Trophy finalists appeared Friday at a media availability in Midtown Manhattan. No. 11 Notre Dame's season officially ended last Sunday when the school announced the team would not participate in a bowl after being left out of the Playoff.

Love alluded to the idea that many of Notre Dame's best players might have opted out of a bowl game.

"Ultimately came down to us wanting to give the best representation of our 2025 football team," Love said. "We felt like we had a very special group, and at the end of the season, we weren't going to have the same team that we did going into the bowl game. So we wanted to make sure that we didn't want to represent the team in any light that it wasn't throughout the whole 2025 season."

Love said the initial reaction to not making the CFP left out was sadness.

"Everybody at that time didn't understand why," he said. "But once, a few days went by, once some time passed by, we realized that we were only in that position because we put ourselves in that position."

I'm sure his AD is not happy with him going against the party line.

I get that and IMO they got it right, but I can't think of any other AD in same position not reacting the same way. It's really part of the job. CFB has always required playing politics.

[Shaka Shart]

Despite being a domer, I very much like Love.

The same way? He was a total arse.

Others have expressed disappointment over the years without being d-bags. Unlike ND, Florida State actually was hosed two years ago, and their reaction wasn't as dirtbaggy.

[Billy Hoyle]

speaking of being an total arse, I present to you Diego Pavia (the retweeted post is still on Pavia's IG in case you want to confirm it was real)>

Meanwhile, Mendoza was at the Adidas store greeting the kids with MS for whom he set up a shopping spree.

I really liked watching Pavia play. That post makes him look like a clown.

FSU really?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened legal action.

I wasn't aware that he was an AD or coach.
