Bobby Petrino is “Interested” in The Kentucky Job

All, College Football Ty Duffy November 8th. 2012, 2:35pm

Bobby Petrino wants a job. Specifically, he wants to return to the SEC. Petrino is so desperate to get back, according to his father, he’s willing to consider the Kentucky job.

“I just know this, that he’s interested in Kentucky,” the father said. “He wants to stay in the SEC. That was his life’s goal was to go to the SEC.”

Kentucky is not considering Petrino to replace Joker Phillips. At a school willing to hire John Calipari to coach basketball, it’s not clear why. Petrino should have been fired at Arkansas. He’s notorious for being a jerk, but when it comes to football, he wins games and has done so without creating NCAA problems. He’s a proven commodity.

We can presume Petrino will enter his next position humbler and with a tamed penis. If Kentucky is not willing to consider him, there may be a bigger SEC program that will.

Match made in heaven. They oughta take him. Construct an incentive/perk-laden contract (small bonuses for actually finishing a season, marriage/divorce counseling, remedial motorcycle safety) to protect the employer.
Everybody wins. Make it so.

it’s cute that trading charms for a tattoo is taboo but oversigning players to scholarships is totally fine, according to the NCAA. no wonder he wants to stay in the SEC.

Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson was elated with the re-election of President Obama on Tuesday, but if he had his way, Mitt Romney would be part of the administration, too.
“Just because President Obama is back in power is not as important as all of us pulling together, ”Jackson told USA TODAY Sports. “The best would be for Obama to be president and Romney to be vice-president. We need everyone to come together.
Thanks Reggie. I wouldn’t have slept tonight w/o knowing this.

I thought new rules were instituted, thanks to mostly to Saban and Nutt?

Who cares? I just want the NCAA to actually look into the players getting paid and other benefits in the SEC.

25+25+25+25=85
The NCAA is focusing on the wrong number.

Who cares?
Unfortunately, some of the rules changes trickled down to other sports that do scholarship splitting and other creative things. Baseball at some of the mid-range schools (SoCon for example) got hit.

OSU should be rewarded some scholarships back if they go 12-0. Hope Urban continues pushing some underachieving fellas out the transfer door.

he’s too toxic, even for Kentucky. maybe Kentucky can bring in Hal Humme as HC and Tim Couch as OC with Artose Pinner as RB coach.

Try doing it with stupider Big 10 rules on top of already stupid NCAA rules. Basically in the Big 10, a guy drafted out of high school or after his 3rd year still counts against the schollie limit and can’t be replaced.

how do the baseball scholarships work?

I don’t know the exact number of scholarships per team, I think it is around 12, but no player can receive more than 80% of a scholarship (I think), which almost never happens, as it completely screws the rest of the team. I think D-1 baseball teams have 25-27 players on each team, so you can do the math and see that it is total bullshit.
sorry about not knowing the exact numbers, but you get the point.
33
Milk Steak To Go Says:

You’re rounding up, which makes the rule even stupider. The schollie number is 11.7 per team.

Baseball:
I thought you could give 100% scholarships.
I thought originally that you just could give no more that some number of whole total scholarships per year, something like 8.
So, you could give 8 fulls or 16 halfs. And some of the new rules limited the total number that can have any percentage of a scholarship. This was a result of the “you’ve got too many on the hook that may not get anything” created by football.
So maybe what you know essentially enables the new limits.

Which always makes me wonder …
Given the Hope Scholarship, I’ve always thought uga should have a fantastic baseball team. I didn’t think those scholarships would count against the ncaa limit.

You can. Rare though if you want a full squad. Most guys probably just getting a little help, few thousand maybe
