College football?
Know the rules, play the game?

Carson Beck can still play college football after graduating because the NCAA allows players to use remaining eligibility as graduate students, and he enrolled in postgraduate studies at Miami, using pandemic eligibility, a redshirt year, and the transfer portal to extend his career, playing as a compensated, full-time athlete under Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals while technically taking some classes, even if not a full course load for a new degree.
 
Not a fan of what's going on in college "amateur" athletics. That said, I'm not sure the old way works all that much better, if at all. More and more, Wat sees h000rs.


Okay, off to read. Staying awake this week hasn't been easy.
Not a big fan either. At least of the setup, and paying players. It’s just legal now. Story for another time…Michael Jordan’s dad got us into the locker room for the North South DoubleHeader. A now defunct preseason warm up in Charlotte where State and Carolina would play Furman and The Citadel. They’d trade the next night but State and Carolina wouldn’t play each other…anyhow, some bag man was handing out $100’s for “stepp’n out money” as they said…
He made between three and four million dollars.This year
That’s serious bank and not just stepping out money! If he returns just because he wants to win a National Title, more power to him, but he could probably double that money if he’d just declare for the draft?

Doesn’t seem like a good financial decision.

BTW, he was about 2 yards short of leading that receiver from winning that game. Or at least going ahead with around 40 seconds for Indiana to respond.
 
@Wat_Tyler Didn't forget - had to do some deep excavating to find this one.

These steps don't include step-by-step for "How to Sear Your Meat" - I know how to do that... I needed the "How to Cook the Meat So People Can Eat It" instructions.

Temps are Farenheit

7 Steps:
  1. Sear Meat - optional
  2. Lightly coat with olive oil
  3. Season with only salt & pepper (use more salt than you would think - can't season later)
  4. Oven at 450 degrees for 7 minutes/turn over and go 7 more mins (start w/ presentation side down)
  5. Turn oven down to 350 and cook until @ 145 in thickiest part
  6. Tent with foil and let sit for @ 10 mins
  7. Slice and enjoy. Should have all temp ranges covered.

7 pounds beef tenderloin, thawed.
Dinner ETA 5pm.

It was a success and I used these steps for the next 3 years. Sometimes we seared, sometimes we didn't. Depended on how crazy the kitchen was at the time. :LOL:

The post-it was still on the side of the fridge when we sold mom's house after she passed.
Wow! Great story.

And I’m sure a great recipe!
